Social Constructionist Therapists in Omaha, NE

Therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and the experiences that have shaped you. I help adults make sense of trauma, neurodivergence, burnout, identity, and life transitions by understanding their experiences within the context of their relationships, environments, and the systems they have navigated. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change in a compassionate, collaborative space.

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.

I view therapy as a collaborative interaction in service of understanding the best forms of quality human relating. My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which leads to meaningful and lasting changes.

I provide online therapy centered on personal growth and fulfillment. Recognizing that life's difficulties often prompt the search for a therapist, our work will address these immediate concerns while exploring the broader path to a meaningful life, uniquely defined by you. My approach integrates relational psychoanalysis, integral philosophy, and Eastern wisdom traditions, emphasizing mindfulness and compassion. I prioritize the present moment within our therapeutic relationship, using this focus as a means for reflection, insight, and transformation as we collaboratively create a space to understand the significant particular and universal experiences of your life.

Are you feeling weighed down by trauma, shame, or family conflict? I specialize in helping individuals navigate the most challenging parts of their lives, from trauma and PTSD to identity struggles and relationship issues. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your emotions without judgment, rebuild your sense of self, and develop tools to move forward with confidence. If you're ready to reclaim your life and start healing, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Omaha has a quietly growing therapy community shaped by its role as a corporate hub — home to several Fortune 500 companies — and the burnout and work-life balance concerns that come with it. The city has a large Latino immigrant population in its South Omaha neighborhoods, with growing demand for bilingual Spanish-English therapists and culturally informed care. Nebraska Medicine and CHI Health provide major institutional mental health resources, while private practices serve the Midtown, Dundee, Aksarben, and West Omaha areas. Omaha's mid-size scale and lower cost of living mean many therapists maintain more accessible practices than those in larger coastal cities.
