Provider Spotlight 🌟
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: accessing quality, trauma-informed mental health care can feel out of reach for many Nebraskans.
If you’ve been searching for compassionate, evidence-based support — especially for trauma, anxiety, or life transitions — you’re not alone. Many individuals across Nebraska face barriers like long waitlists, travel distance, cost, or limited provider availability.
That’s why we’re excited to spotlight Melanie Lewis, counseling intern at Blue Elephant Counseling, who is currently offering free online counseling sessions across Nebraska as part of her clinical internship.
Melanie is EMDR-trained and passionate about helping clients process trauma, reduce anxiety, and build resilience — all from the comfort and privacy of your home.
