Hello! I am Kathleen von Kampen, a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) and Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Nebraska, with an M.A. in Clinical Psychology. I have been working with individuals, couples, and groups for over 9 years across a wide variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, family/couple conflicts, postpartum depression, coping with grief and loss, and crisis response. I received my degree at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, California, and practiced in the metro-Detroit area of Michigan before moving back to Nebraska. I approach counseling from a person-centered perspective, with a deep passion and belief that people are equipped with gifts and strengths to help them navigate through life's stressors. In my role as the helper, I am there to reflect those strengths, support and encourage along the journey, and offer tools and skill-building to address concerns. I utilize different modalities of treatment, and often draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist clients with exploring new ways of thinking to further impact feelings, behaviors, and overall success toward goals. I seek to prepare clients to navigate life with new skills, such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. This provides a foundation for tackling life's challenges, while also experiencing joy and excitement for increased self-awareness and improved relationships. I sincerely look forward to working with you and witnessing your story!

9 years offering treatment
Hello and welcome! My name is Kelli Means and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I am a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) and licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC) in the state of Nebraska and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of South Dakota. In 2019 I earned certification as a Certified Clinical Trauma Therapist and have maintained this certification with ongoing education in the trauma field. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 2011 and my Masters of Science from Wayne State College in Community Mental Health Counseling in 2015. I have worked in the mental health field for 10 years and the past 6 years have been as a mental health and addictions therapist at non-profit agencies that work with state funding and/or sliding fee scales. I have worked in a variety of settings, including an inpatient psychiatric unit while attending my master’s program, outpatient therapy, school-based therapy, and residential drug and alcohol treatment. I have found that my heart is truly in working with patients who have limited resources to meet their needs. While I have experience with children and adolescents, most of my experience has been working with adults. As a provider, I have worked with patients with a range of diagnoses and stressors, including (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, panic/panic attacks, schizophrenia (including first psychotic episodes), bipolar disorder, personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, LGBT+, grief/loss, relationships, sex trafficking, self-esteem, domestic violence, alcohol and other drug addictions, and dissociations. My counseling style is welcoming and conversational. I am known for being upfront and honest always and blunt when needed, though I tailor my approach to meet each individual’s needs. My therapeutic approach combines Person-Centered, Reality Therapy, Solution-Focused therapist, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and Somatic therapy depending on what you want or need. My job will never be to fix you or change you. I believe all my clients are people first and more than the sum of their symptoms or their diagnosis. My most significant job as a therapist is to understand who you are and build trust with you; if you don’t trust your therapist, you aren’t likely to tell them much, and if you don’t tell them much, you won’t get much work done. My hope is to teach you to cope on your own and learn to be assertive with what you want or need in life. You are in control of your life and ability to make changes, I am merely a guide to help you when you are lost or uncertain. I look forward to meeting you and starting this journey with you!

I am a therapist that will meet you where you are at, walking at your pace and encouraging in each step of your path. I strongly believe that Jesus makes miracles every day, touches lives for a better life, and always works in the favor of His children. I believe that my calling is to help each individual with genuine care, respect and dignity. I believe that in order to avoid substance abuse and mental/emotional health relapse one must address the triggers, patterns, and trauma that caused the maladaptive coping skill. I enjoy so much witnessing how children, adolescents, and families achieve their dreams of finding safety, harmony, stability and fulfillment in their lives.
