Clinical Psychologist Licensed in Nebraska
Nika George, PhD -Therapeutic Approach
Welcome to Clever Consciousness Behavioral Therapy, I’m looking forward to meeting you! My name is Dr. George and I am a clinical psychologist who provides online therapy and counseling services to individuals and couples throughout the Omaha and greater Nebraska area.
My practice is best described as authentic, transparent, and “salt of the earth.” I am open, honest, and use team work to help build trust with you from the first therapy session. I work best with clients who are motivated to grow, those with a sense of humor, and people who appreciate a clear goal-oriented approach. I use a combination cognitive therapy and mindfulness counseling skills to help clients see relief. Feel free to look through my website under “evidence based therapy” for a description of the treatments I offer.
My Therapeutic Background
I have a strong background in research which helps me to be stay informed about cutting edge mental health treatments. I completed my Bachelor’s of Science in Brain Behavior and Cognitive Science at the University of Michigan. After that I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Missouri St. Louis. I then completed a one year internship and one year residency at the St. Louis Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center. I have specialized training in health psychology, trauma treatment, perfectionism, women’s health (perinatal and postpartum depression), and mood issues like depression and anxiety. I have extensive experience working in medical facilities and ten years of experience in treating clients.
My PhD makes me a bit different than many therapists and counselors. I have additional years of training, I have personally designed successful online treatments for mental health conditions, and I know how to interpret the latest science on counseling, therapy, and clinical practice. If you come to psychotherapy in my practice I will lend you the mind of a scientist and the heart of a healer.
