Hi, I’m Diane Meyer, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing and additional board certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I bring experience from inpatient psychiatry and a genuine passion for helping people feel understood, supported, and empowered in their mental health journey.
I provide convenient telehealth care throughout Nebraska, including psychiatric evaluation and medication management. I do not prescribe controlled substances.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I would be honored to partner with you. I’m currently accepting new patients.
I’ve learned a ton from four years in community mental health - I’m not going to judge anything you bring to session! This gave me a foundation in crisis intervention, anger management, identity shifts, relationships, trauma, and substance use disorders.
I’m a fan of motivational interviewing, and I’ll affirm your thoughts and feelings often. I also give space to challenge thought patterns or behaviors that aren’t in line with your values. I love finding out what makes you feel like you and supporting all that that includes!
I believe mental health care works best when people feel truly known, respected, and safe. My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care and medication management with compassionate, whole-person support. I work with children, teens, and adults, and I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest without fear of judgment.
For clients who desire it, I also offer Catholic-integrated care that honors the role faith can play in healing, identity, relationships, suffering, purpose, and hope. My goal is never to pressure or preach, but to thoughtfully integrate Catholic values, spirituality, prayer, or faith-based perspectives into treatment in a clinically appropriate and supportive way. I especially enjoy helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, postpartum mental health, motherhood transitions, trauma, relationship stress, life changes, and struggles related to self-worth or burnout.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide medication management while also taking time to understand the deeper emotional, relational, lifestyle, and spiritual factors affecting mental health. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am warm, approachable, thorough, and collaborative rather than rushed or impersonal.
Whether you are looking for practical symptom relief, deeper healing, or a provider who understands and respects your faith, my hope is that you feel supported, heard, and encouraged throughout the process.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, carrying the effects of trauma, or facing a life transition that feels hard to manage, therapy can be a place to exhale. I work with adults who want support making sense of what they’re going through and finding practical ways to feel more grounded, understood, and in control. I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.
I have been practicing since 2017. I enjoying working with people from different walks of life. I use a mostly cognitive based approach to treatment but I also like to meet the client where they are in their present journey.
I am Stanley Okeyemi, the founder of Brighter Light Behavioral Health Services. I am currently licensed as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) in Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Washington, North Carolina, Nebraska, Virginia and New York. I have been working in the mental health industry for 16 years, but licensed as a PMHNP for four years, with a vast amount of experience and affiliations with over 40 hospitals/clinics combined across the USA
I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP), and Certified Master Social Worker (CMSW) in Omaha, Nebraska, who works with adult women and provides care for patients who struggle with trauma, sexual trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and major life transitions, including reproductive and midlife changes. I enjoy working with women in various stages of life including pregnancy, post-partum, and perimenopause/menopause. I have extensive experience with trauma-informed, evidence-based psychotherapy and have been a licensed mental health provider for over 10 years.
I’m a licensed psychologist with more than three decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and trauma-informed care. My background includes extensive work with adults, adolescents, and children across private practice, medical settings, and the VA’s PTSD clinic, where I provided both treatment and disability evaluations. I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in an APA-approved Counseling Psychology program and an APA-accredited internship with broad training in assessment, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, dissociation, family-of-origin issues, and helping people untangle long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, open-minded, and direct, meeting people right where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for and enjoy the process along the way. It does not have to be all bad. There are reasons why you think a certain way, do not have control over emotions or repeat mistakes. Let us get to the bottom of those reasons.
I want you to find meaning/purpose in school, work, family and friendships. Give yourself the opportunity to feel confident living life; knowing you have the awareness and skills to adjust. As a parent, I want you to be free from the pain of worrying, knowing that someone is there to help your child work through their depression/anger and anxiety/stress.
During the 15+ years, I have helped children, adolescents and young adults find healing and understanding in distressed times; a good deal of my career has focused on the needs of this unique age group specifically specializing in mood disorders, depression, anxiety-related issues, and social skill difficulties.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Nebraska
Searching for therapists in Nebraska starts with finding someone whose training and specialties match what you want support with. Options can vary across urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look for a therapist who has experience with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or major life changes. As you compare profiles, review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy approach, and areas of focus to see whether their background fits your needs.
Location and format also shape your search across Nebraska. You may want an in-person therapist near Omaha, Lincoln, or Grand Island, or you may prefer virtual sessions that fit your schedule from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they communicate, what sessions may look like, and whether their approach feels like a practical fit before you book.
The cost of mental health care in Nebraska varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Nebraska therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
