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 am a psychiatric nurse practitioner who is passionate about helping people feel more balanced, supported, and understood.I have experience working with adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use, and I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and judgment free. My goal is to create a safe space where we can work together to find the right treatment plan for you. I offer medication management and supportive care tailored to your individual needs.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!
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.
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’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.
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.
