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.

Hi, I'm Remi!
I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist. This does not mean I just work with couples and family units, I work with individuals as well! Also, it means that I'm a systems thinker. Meaning, I've been trained to consider the many system dynamics ( family, friendships, employment, etc.) people participate in daily, and how these dynamics can present in one's mental health symptoms and concerns.
I have worked in the field of social services and therapy for 20 years, servicing adults and children. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a Social Worker for several years, servicing clients who ranged in age from 102 to 5 years old. Currently, my clientele consists of adults and teens.
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.
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!

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.
