Kelly Rathe, PLMHP
I am a PLMHP (supervision by J. Kipp Lanning, LIMHP and Tom Seguin, LIMHP) that started my professional journey off in public schools. Some of my areas of clinical focus include helping children, adults and families recover from the effects of trauma, anxiety, and depression. Trauma can impact quality of life issues such as attachment, relationship stability and self perception. I have a clinical focus to help adults and children process thoughts and feelings related to a traumatic experience (from the past or current), and develop a positive sense of self, support and hope for the future.
Trauma can be physical, emotional or mental. No one is immune to the effects of trauma but some coping skills and types of family support help people be more resilient than others. While anyone can experience a traumatic event – no one has to let it define who they are. I use a cognitive behavioral and client strengths base approach to therapy. This means I am able to create a treatment plan that is specialized for each unique individual client and family that is researched based, and outcomes focused. My clients and often their families are a participant in that process. I enjoy hearing when clients feel that they have gotten what they need from therapy and are ready to go!

Leslie Walker, LIMHP
Leslie Walker is a counselor in Lincoln, NE that works with a wide variety of concerns and populations including children, teens, adults, individuals and families. Leslie has a particular clinical interest in eating disorders and body image, adolescent and teen issues, LGBTQ issues, behavioral/parenting issues, and individuals with developmental disabilities.
I truly believe in the effectiveness of counseling when the client and counselor can work together to identify concerns and generate effective and realistic solutions. My approach to counseling stems from the belief that you are the expert on your own life and I will work with you to find insight and create meaningful solutions that will impact the quality of your life. My goal is not to judge, but is instead to create a safe space where we can explore areas of difficulty together. Client’s I’ve worked with appreciate my ability recognize the uniqueness of each person’s story and situation and provide an individualized approach to our work together.
I take a special interest in working with clients who struggle with eating disorders, body image, or unhealthy eating patterns. Eating disorders and the associated unhealthy eating patterns are often kept secret by those who are struggling. Over time, this secret builds and slowly consumes the person. Our culture and society have twisted our relationship with food, while skewing our perception of body image, for both men and women. I recognize and understand how difficult seeking help for an eating disorder can be. I strive to provide a safe setting to work towards establishing realistic and healthy eating patterns and body image while gaining insight into the underlying thoughts and emotions that maintain these unhealthy eating patterns. I have a particular interest in working with adolescent athletes who may be struggling with unhealthy expectations related to body image and eating patterns. Growing up as a competitive athlete myself, I experienced firsthand how athletes are often told and taught, from a young age how to manipulate their bodies to perform a certain way. As a result, these young athletes may internalize an unattainable body image and develop unhealthy eating patterns which can last beyond their athletic years.
I also have a passion for working with individuals with developmental disabilities and special needs, specifically those with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. I enjoy working with children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families and caregivers. Caring for a child with a developmental disability, or being a caregiver for an adult, comes with its own set of challenges that often go unrecognized and unsupported. It is my goal to take the time to understand what each family unit needs and work to develop plans and goals to strengthen and support the individual and their caregivers.
I offer evening appointments and currently have immediate openings available. Additionally, I offer online booking for easy and convenient scheduling.
Lani Glaser, LCSW, LMHP
I have nearly 30 years experience working in health care settings. Some of that work involved hospice care, which has taught me the value of making the most of the time we have and the relationships we care about. Before obtaining my Masters degree in Social Work, I worked as a Registered Nurse. These combined experiences have given me a holistic perspective and the recognition that physical wellbeing and strong relationships play critical roles in mental health.During my social work education I was able to work with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse, and to participate on an eating disorders treatment team.I am aware that many people’s lives have also been impacted by addiction, either in themselves or in those they love, and I am knowledgeable about the principles of recovery and 12-Step work. I value the role that spiritual health plays in many people’s lives, and am open to exploring both traditional and non-traditional aspects of spirituality.
Tom Seguin, PLMHP
Tom creates a space for growth and change so clients can experience the power of the therapeutic process. He studied engineering early in his college career but quickly developed a passion for learning and understanding how people think. After earning his bachelor’s degree in psychology at Miami University in 2009, Tom enlisted in the Air Force. There, he saw how stressful situations including an intense work life, deployments, and frequent moves, paired with an absence of appropriate supports can lead to a variety of mental health issues like relationship problems, separation and divorce, problem behaviors in children, and substance abuse. Tom decided to become a psychotherapist partly in order to help people who were feeling overwhelmed like his military colleagues. Since earning his master’s degree in 2017 from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Tom has been helping parents and families develop strategies to alleviate problems related to children’s behaviors, school issues, co-parenting, and foster care. He also works with couples and individuals to help navigate relationship problems, divorce, and other individual mental health needs. Tom’s clients often report that he connects to them well and understands their concerns on a deep level.
