Omaha Therapist With 25-Plus Years of Experience

Dr. Coady-Leeper Will Help You Discover and Recover Strengths

  • I enjoy working with people who want to understand themselves
    and their feelings and want to change problem behaviors.
  • When working with a client, I listen for thought patterns, experiences,
    and trauma that contribute to depression and anxiety.
  • Together, we explore familial, cultural, religious, and spiritual
    factors—and how these issues influence clients, both positively and negatively.
  • We discover and recover strengths.
  • The connection through the therapeutic relationship is essential
    in providing the safety and understanding that helps the client change.
  • Through this relationship, I assist clients to face their unhappiness, insecurity,
    depression, anxiety, and conflicts—both inner and outer.
  • In this process, clients’ feelings, thoughts, and behaviors change.
  • Through helping clients to live a more authentic life, their relationships
    change also—as couples, parents, employees, friends, and family members

Treatment Orientation

My psychotherapeutic approach helps clients address deeper issues that have kept them stuck in unhappiness, conflict, anxiety, and depression. Through working together, the client learns to have a healthier relationship with the self. This is accomplished by focusing on becoming more conscious of feelings, thoughts, and dream images and by discovering the meaning in those images. Sometimes this involves learning skills to face conflict with oneself and others. At times, this means one has to grieve losses or decisions that can’t be undone. Discovering how to live a more authentic life reduces one’s anxiety and depression. The goal is to align one’s living more closely with one’s calling.
