Find a Therapist in Springfield, Nebraska.

Psychotherapy is a fancy word for therapy of the mind. Our society has long accepted physical therapy and occupational therapy. We recognize that sometimes we need help retraining parts of our body so we can function in a healthy way. The same is true of training the brain. Thought patterns from childhood create strong neuro-connections in our brain. They can make it feel like it is impossible to change - but it's not. Let me coach you through creating new neuro-pathways (new ways of thinking) you didn't believe possible!

Psychotherapy is simply a deeper, more complex approach to chronic life problems than is "Counseling". It acknowledges that a client's multiple issues are usually interconnected and have common sources in childhood and the family of Origin. Steve Brownrigg chose his specialty of Co-Occurring disorders because these clients can rarely find a Therapist that can coordinate and treat all of a client's issues in one course of treatment. Proper treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders involves the Therapist having multiple Skill Sets and Competencies, such as Addiction/Recovery approaches, Cognitive-Behavioral Tools and Trauma-Processing Techniques.

I believe in the "Positive Psychology" mindset for psychotherapy which means that while we are free to discuss and problem solve specific issues and symptoms you may be experiencing, I am also interested in what strengths, talents you hold as a human being. This rounds out therapy and allows room for you as a whole person to sit and talk in the room without feeling as if all I want to hear about is your problems.
