Your own hero's journey is awaiting and together we can help you along that path to achieve your dreams. The first step is often the most difficult, and that is to reach out for the help that you deserve. Phone and live video sessions available.

I have experience working with adults and adolescents who have mental health and substance use issues. I work well with clients who are struggling with depression, substance use issues, mood instability, relationship issues, self-esteem, anxiety, anger, and just feeling "off." Together we will look at what works for you, what isn't working for you, and how to change this. You will be doing the work, I will help guide you and provide tools as needed.

Non-judgmental therapy is what I provide. You deserve to be heard. It's important for my clients to feel comfortable to speak freely about how they are feeling and what they have been through. I practice gentle therapy. My goal is to help empower my client to solve tough issues (past or present). Life can be tough. I am here to help.

Everyone deserves help, including you. It can be beneficial to talk with someone who has an independent perspective. I have experience working with clients whose gender identity, socioeconomic class, race and/or ethnicity have historically been marginalized. My main goal is to help you achieve greater independence so you can better cope with current and future issues.

You feel like nothing seems to go right and you can never catch a break. You have so much to be thankful for, and yet you are unhappy. You are not alone. All of us have felt this way at one time or another. Whether it is a new or on-going problem, talking to someone can help you transition through these issues.

My name is Linda Degner and I have lived in several different places across the US finally landing in Nebraska in 2014. I believe that inviting a therapist into your life takes courage and I take that honor very seriously. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization), PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Therapy), Theraplay, and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy). I have significant experience working with victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect, children in foster care, couples, and Christian Counseling.

Life can be difficult and overwhelming, especially when we feel most alone. Counseling provides a collaborative space to meaningfully explore our thoughts, feelings, and experiences with another person.

WelcomeI My goal is to support you and teach you how to live a happier, healthier, positive and productive lifestyle! I take appointments on weekends and evenings and I am very flexible with scheduling. I do some in-home therapy and meet at schools, if it's preferred. I like to work with adolescents and families with intense needs. I often work with individuals involved with domestic violence, substance abuse, trauma, and eating disorders.

Are you struggling in a relationship, feeling like things are out of control, or feeling stuck and unable to get over some of life's hurdles? In a confidential, caring environment, my commitment in counseling is to partner with you to identify solutions that work for you. As your licensed independent mental health practitioner, I will listen with compassion and mindfulness. I am always inspired to help identify true goals based on how you define what healing actually looks like for you. My empathetic and caring approach coupled with over 20 years of experience give you a unique combination in someone to work with.

Life seems really good, right? Your family loves you. You love them too. You love your job, have a great career, or you are are working towards one. yet you feel sad, scared, hurt and lonely. You want to be happy, joyful and hopeful about life. Days and nights all run together and life seems meaningless and without purpose. Your relationships are not fulfilling. You have crying spells but you wear a game face like everything is going great. It's time to find joy and happiness. it's time to build and enjoy nurturing relationships.

Are you looking for a space to put your "Super Hero Cape" down and just be your human self for a few minutes? Life has its normal ups and downs that can leave anyone feeling drained, overwhelmed, frustrated, and sometimes wondering what to do. I provide a safe and non judgmental space for the everyday person looking for realistic, down to earth, and usable skills to add to their toolkit and improve their daily life. These skills will offer a fresh perspective on how to manage behaviors, boost communication,  build self-esteem, repair marriages/relationships, improve mental and emotional health of individuals and families.

I offer specialized support for members of the public safety community, medical providers, and military personnel. I understand the unique burdens these careers can place on clients. Sometimes it's difficult to balance family and personal commitments with the demands of this incredibly stressful work. I work with individuals who wish to learn ways to enhance resiliency and achieve peak performance on the job, and enjoy a fulfilling life outside of work.

I have immediate availability. Every individual deserves to experience peace and joy in their lives, regardless of their circumstances. If you find yourself grappling with depression, navigating relationship conflicts, or feeling disconnected from intimacy, you're not alone. These are the areas where I specialize and where I believe I can make a meaningful difference. Perhaps you're feeling stuck in your career or struggling with feelings of unworthiness. These are common challenges that many face, and I'm here to offer support and guidance.

Hey, I'm Evelynn! I enjoy working with a variety of issues, but I'm especially passionate about working with gender expansive clients! I'm a transgender woman, and my experiences absolutely inform how I approach working with my clients. I will provide space to explore which aspects of expression, pronouns, sexuality, and other elements you want to incorporate into your gender. There are no wrong answers, but we'll work together to find one you are comfortable with! I also have found neurodiversity (Autism Spectrum & ADHD) and eating disorders as additional specialties through working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

You might be experiencing one of these: gnawing anxiety in your chest that just won’t leave you, dominates your thoughts, is changing how you live. Or the circling, dark thoughts of depression, where there is no pleasure in anything and everything is hopeless. Or maybe the effects of past, buried trauma have become unmanageable, and how you used to cope is not working. Or, you have lost someone you love, and life now feels unwanted and impossible. Or despite others’ complaints, you can’t conceive of going without either alcohol, drugs, porn, food, or relationships to feel normal or valuable, to get through the day with less pain

Life can be A LOT sometimes, causing us to feel anxious, depressed, lose our sense of self and affect our ability to have and maintain healthy relationships. We all need someone who's not in the middle of it with us, to talk through these feelings and concerns. I believe everyone deserves this type of experience and support. I believe things, and people, can change with the right support and tools!

Welcome to my profile! You may feel tension between who you are and what the world wants you to be. There are certain expectations of you and at times, it feels like the world is on your shoulders. Feelings of sadness, anxiety, low self-esteem and frustration keep boiling to the surface. You want to confide with your family, friends or a significant other but you just can’t. You can’t share this tension and pain of failing with others because your true colors will show. You will show, who you really are.

Sometimes we lose ourselves when we get caught up in the way we think we "should" be in various relationships, workspaces, and societal expectations. Losing or ignoring who we truly are can lead to relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and general life dissatisfaction. "Losing ourselves" can happen due to traumatic life circumstances and/or years of unrelenting pressures. Let's get curious about your passions, work together to let go of what's not working, and build a roadmap so you can step in to a more authentic you.

As a therapist, I believe that it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for support during difficult times and consider it a privilege to help people along their journey. For me, the most important part of the therapeutic process is the relationship between client and therapist, and I work to cultivate a nurturing and supportive therapeutic environment. Everyone wants to feel heard and understood and providing that is the basis of our work together.
