Ashley Paulson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LIMHP, CHt
I first focus on coping and regulation strategies before processing trauma. Hypnosis, EMDR, NLP, parts work, and guided meditations can be utilized to help process and regulate the body. I aim to help clients reduce symptoms such as anxiety and hyperviligance as well as increase trust and security in self. This process can be taken very slowly or quickly depending on client preference and needs.

Trauma can have a lasting impact on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, whether it stems from past abuse, neglect, an accident, an illness, or any other distressing event. If you are struggling with the effects of trauma or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), therapy can provide a path toward healing and reclaiming control over your life. In a safe, compassionate space, we will work together to process your trauma, explore your emotions, and develop coping strategies that help reduce PTSD symptoms, build resilience, and foster a sense of empowerment. Using evidence-based approaches like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), I will help you regain a sense of peace, safety, and control. Therapy can be an essential step in your recovery, and together, we’ll create a plan tailored to your needs as you take back your life.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be instrumental in addressing trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Trauma often leaves deep emotional scars that manifest as anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened stress responses. Traditional therapeutic approaches may not always reach these deeply embedded issues, but hypnotherapy offers a unique avenue to access and heal the subconscious mind where trauma is often stored. Furthermore, hypnotherapy can help individuals build positive coping mechanisms and resilience. Techniques such as guided imagery and positive suggestion can instill a sense of safety and empowerment, replacing the negative emotions tied to traumatic events.

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.
