Therapy for Trauma in Omaha, NE

Are you experiencing unwanted, intrusive thoughts about a disturbing event or series of events that make it difficult to concentrate or to remember things? Are your mood swings extreme and unwarranted, or do you find yourself blatantly avoiding people, places, activities, or events, even ones that you used to enjoy? Are you finding it difficult to trust others? When you’re reminded of the traumatic event or series of events that caused you distress, do you experience physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate, muscle tension, or nausea?

  • Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts about a traumatic event?
  • Have you noticed a decrease in ability to concentrate or to remember things?
  • Are you experiencing extreme mood swings, from numbness to guilt to anger?
  • Are you withdrawing from others?

A traumatic experience is one in which your sense of control and safety is challenged, and it leads to a post traumatic stress response, or chronic disturbances that impair your ability to function the way you want to on a day-to-day basis. In the world of therapy, we understand that traumas come in different shapes and sizes, and that this does not mean that some are more impactful than others. When most people think of traumas, they think of large traumas such as war, natural disasters, physical or sexual assault, and catastrophic events.


These single event experiences, in which one’s life is threatened, are certainly traumatic, and have the potential to lead to difficulties. However, psychological and emotional traumas can also be complex and take place over time. Chronically stressful situations, such as a childhood home that’s not consistently supportive or safe, or a prolonged medical or legal situation, can also cause an individual to have a post-traumatic stress response.

Are you ready to begin the process of healing from trauma and regain a sense of mastery over your daily life? Then please reach out. Email us at Scheduling@bekindomaha.com or call 402-277-9499.

Your symptoms don’t have to fit the post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) criteria – post-traumatic stress responses can be physical, cognitive, behavioral, psychosocial, or all of the above. The severity of the event, as well as the support one has from others, affect the way one responds to a trauma.

At Be Kind Counseling, we understand that, just as our fight-or-flight instincts exist to protect us, our post-stress responses also exist to protect us. When danger is nearby, being hypervigilant and unable to concentrate on menial things (relative to the danger) can be lifesaving. These symptoms become problematic when the danger is in the past and no longer imminent, and the post-stress response to a presently non-existent threat is interfering with your daily life. Depending on the needs and circumstances of each individual client, we offer PTSD treatment, trauma healing, and support while working through childhood trauma, psychological trauma, and/or traumatic events.


With the support of your therapist, you will work to understand the relationship between your traumatic experiences and your current responses. Once you are able to start connecting the dots, you can then can approach yourself and your coping mechanisms with compassion and intention, and begin the process of healing.

Shelly is a gift from God! I have been seeing her since I was a sophomore in high school. She has helped me through the highs and lows of life, and I don't know what I would do without her. I highly recommend checking out this place if you struggle with mental health issues. You will find smiling faces & a listening ear if you decide to come here.

Client Feedback

I have been in therapy previously and never felt understood the way I do with Lisa. She really takes the time and energy to understand and validate my struggles. I am neurodivergent and with Lisa’s help I have found a path forward to live a life that is fulfilling and meaningful. She has truly changed my life.
