Finding Hope through a Catholic Provider
Many people who experience depression or anxiety, grief, loss, or trauma find great relief through psychotherapy. Licensed mental health providers in the State of Nebraska have both training in research-based techniques and experience in using them to help people address such symptoms and the circumstances, thoughts, and emotions that underly them. While some providers do specialize in treating severe or profound mental illness, most work with individuals who do not have such diagnoses, but rather, find themselves struggling with stressful life events. When we are in the midst of such stress it can be difficult to see our way out. Working with a provider provides a "third eye" - someone in our life who is not in the middle of what we are dealing with and can see from a new perspective.
When fear, isolation, or hoplessness are part of our struggle it is especially helpful to work with a provider who shares our faith and can offer insights from a faith perspective. There are Catholic providers who live and work throughout our diocese. Many maintain a connection with the diocese and are committed to approaching their work through a Catholic lens. You can find a provider near you by contacting the diocesan Chancery Office at 308-382-6565.
In addition to local providers, there are Catholic providers across the country who provide telehealth services such as: Immaculate Heart of Mary Counseling Center, the Catholic Psychotherapy Association, CatholicCounselors.com, and the Association of Catholic Mental Health Providers.
