Interpersonal therapists in Omaha, Nebraska NE

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life and while you certainly have successfully navigated through past difficulties you've faced, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it.  

In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.  

If you feel burned out, unfulfilled in relationships, stuck in life, anxious, or down, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again.  

Everyone is different. It's my job to listen, learn, and tailor my approach to each client. My skill is in getting to know my clients and figuring out what type of help they want, how they would like to improve their lives, and what steps are necessary to achieve these improvement or sense of well-being. This is a highly individualized approach which involves getting to know the underlying causes of distress as well as treating distressing symptoms. It's not easy or simple but...humans are not easy or simple! Therapy and Counseling can be powerful agents in helping people achieve the changes they desire.
