Psychology

The Nebraska Medical Center offers comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological services provided by a devoted team of doctoral-level health psychologists, clinical psychologists, and neuropsychologists. Our providers are fully integrated into the health care setting, and work closely with hospital and community physicians.

Health psychology services are directed toward addressing the mind-body aspects of many health issues including pain management, coping with chronic illnesses, weight management, adherence to a treatment regimen and organ transplant. The health psychologists use a number of traditional approaches to enhance health and healing as well as biofeedback, cognitive-behavioral methods, guided imagery, and relaxation strategies.

Clinical psychology providers focus on improving quality of life for individuals with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar affective disorder, adjustment disorders, emotional trauma and other issues related to mental health. Evaluations and therapy are available for children, adolescents, and adults.

Clinical neuropsychology services focus on the assessment of cognitive problems, such as memory, reasoning, language, and attention problems associated with medical conditions, emotional conditions, neurological diseases and injuries affecting the brain. Specialty areas include epilepsy, neuro-oncology, Parkinson’s disease, head trauma, dementia, learning disability and attention-deficit disorder and changes in thinking associated with liver and kidney disease. Our providers work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.
