I work with individuals and couples who are tired of feeling stuck. Maybe it's anxiety, a marriage that isn't working, or the exhaustion of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world.
Hi, I’m Liz, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel collaborative, personalized, and human. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and neurodivergence and I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard rather than judged or rushed.
My approach combines medication management with a holistic understanding of mental health, including nervous system regulation, lifestyle, relationships, physical health, and life experiences. Together, we focus on finding practical, sustainable strategies that help you feel more grounded, functional, and like yourself again.
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!
Hello, my name is Shawnda Connor. I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC). I grew up on a cattle ranch near Antioch Nebraska and graduated from Alliance High school. I completed my higher education at Grand Canyon University with my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Masters in Addiction Counseling. I help clients who have substance abuse or mental health or a combination of both diseases by utilizing evidence-based practices, trauma informed care, and harm reduction, I strongly believes in helping not only the individuals, but the families whose lives have been affected by mental illness or substance abuse by tailoring my therapeutic approach to you or your family’s needs. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and is a member of the National Association of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Counselors.
I truly love this work and feel honored to support people in their journeys. As a therapist, I bring warmth, humor, and a deep understanding of sexuality, relationships, and identity. Whether you're working through past hurts or discovering new parts of yourself, I’ll meet you where you are with kindness and care.
I help adults heal from trauma, grief, and overwhelming life experiences that may still be affecting how you feel day to day. You may be dealing with panic attacks, sleepless nights, nonstop worry, irritability, dissociation, explosive emotions, or the sense that what happened to you is still showing up in your work, relationships, and everyday life. I also work with clients healing from childhood abuse or neglect, grief, car accidents, and other painful experiences that can leave you feeling stuck in survival mode. My goal is to help reduce suffering and support you in finding a healthier, more peaceful path forward.
I provide personalized and focused men's health that includes the psychological, biological, and spiritual domains of health and wellness. I am a dual board certified nurse practitioner in family medicine and psychiatry, so I understand and can treat the whole person. My doctoral studies focused on integrative medicine with an emphasis on men's health. I also have degrees in pastoral counseling and biblical exposition, so I am able to offer faith-forward mental health care for those who desire an integrated Christian experience.
