I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
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 therapy should be a space where you feel seen without having to over-explain yourself. My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, deepen your relationships, and move through life with greater self-trust and ease.
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 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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Omaha
Searching for therapists in Omaha starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support for. People often look for therapy in Omaha for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that connect to your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. Reading each therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, what they focus on, and what a first session may include.
Omaha has a steady mental health care network, with therapists across areas like Dundee, Benson, Aksarben, and Old Market. Your best fit may depend on more than location. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near home or work, or virtual appointments that fit more easily into your schedule. It also helps to review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book. These details can make it easier to narrow your options with confidence.
Therapy in Omaha can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for Omaha therapists who accept insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
