Ahh...Calm. Something I’ve learned over time is how important it is to have small moments of calm and enjoyment in everyday life.

For me, that sometimes looks like spending time in nature, slowly drinking a cup of coffee in the garden, listening to the birds, playing with my Corgi's or just slowing down and listening to music.

Those small moments can be grounding—especially when life feels busy or overwhelming.

It’s something I often talk about in therapy, too—how creating even small pockets of calm can make a meaningful difference over time.

What’s something small that helps you slow down?

If you’re a therapist considering your own therapy, you might be wondering what that would actually feel like.

In my work with therapists, I hold one thing very intentionally:

You don’t have to be “the therapist” here.

You don’t have to have insight right away.
You don’t have to explain things perfectly.
You don’t have to stay in the role of holding everything together.

You get to be a person.

A person who may be carrying stress, life transitions, grief, or experiences that have been set aside for a long time.

My role is to offer a space that is thoughtful, non-judgmental, and grounded in genuine understanding—without assumptions and without expectations.

A space where you can step out of the professional role and simply be supported.

If you’ve been thinking about your own therapy, you’re not alone.

And you don’t have to keep putting it off.

If you’re a therapist in Omaha or Nebraska or South Dakota and you’re considering starting therapy, you’re welcome to reach out.

A lot of people feel unsure about starting therapy because they don’t know what to expect.

That uncertainty can be enough to keep someone from reaching out.

The truth is, therapy isn’t about having the right words or having everything figured out.

It’s simply a place to begin.

If you’ve been thinking about it but feel unsure, you’re not alone.

You don’t have to be in crisis to start therapy.

Many people wait until things feel overwhelming before reaching out for support.

But therapy isn’t only for the hardest moments.

Sometimes people come to therapy because:

They feel stuck
They’re navigating a life transition
They’re tired of repeating the same patterns
They want to understand themselves better

Therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and make meaningful changes—before things reach a breaking point.

You don’t have to wait until things get worse to ask for support.

Support is allowed to come sooner.

NTB Counseling Services is here to help. Check out our website: www.ntbeardslee.com for more information about Nicole and her services.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming for a lot of people.

One of the most common things I hear is:
“I’m not even sure where to start.”

And that’s completely okay.

You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan before reaching out.

Part of the process of therapy is simply having a space where you can begin wherever you are—and figure things out along the way.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy but feel unsure, you’re not alone.

Therapy can be a place to take that first step, even if you’re not sure what it looks like yet. NTB Counseling Services would love to be part of your therapy journey. Check out our website at www.ntbeardslee.com for more information. Healing starts here.

One thing I’ve noticed in working with therapists is this:

Many therapists have thought about going to therapy…
but have put it off for a long time.

Not because they don’t believe in it.

But because it can feel complicated.

Sometimes it’s the thought:
“I should be able to handle this.”

Sometimes it’s:
“What if I’m judged by another therapist?”

And sometimes it’s the quiet awareness that
if they slow down and really look at what they’ve been carrying…

it might feel like a lot.

So they keep going.
They show up for others.
They do the work they care deeply about.

And they set their own needs aside.

If this resonates, you’re not alone.

And you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

Something unexpected has happened in my work as a therapist.

Over time, I’ve had more and more therapists begin to seek me out for therapy. It wasn’t something I set out to do or market—it just happened. And at this point, a meaningful portion of my work is with other therapists.

What I’ve come to understand is this:

Therapists are human first.

And yet, it can be incredibly hard for therapists to reach out for help.

Some worry they’ll be judged.
Some feel like they should already have the answers.
Some have learned to compartmentalize their own experiences so well that the idea of opening those doors feels overwhelming.

I understand that more than people might expect.

In my own experiences seeking therapy in the past, I sometimes felt like I was being seen as a therapist instead of simply as a person who needed support.

That’s something I hold very intentionally in my work.

When therapists come to see me, they are not “the therapist in the room.”

They are people.

People who are navigating stress, life transitions, grief, trauma, and the same complexities we all carry.

My role is simply to offer a space that is thoughtful, non-judgmental, and grounded in genuine understanding.

I feel a deep sense of respect for the therapists who trust me enough to show up in that way—open, vulnerable, and human.

It’s something I don’t take lightly.

If you’re a therapist who has been putting off your own therapy, you’re not alone.

And you deserve the same care and support that you offer to others every day.

When your brain is dealing with a big unknown, it helps to give it smaller experiences that do have predictable endings. It reminds your nervous system that not everything is open-ended or out of control.

Meet part of my support team 🐾

These two remind me daily of something I often share with clients:
You don’t have to have everything figured out to be worthy of love, rest, and care.

When I’m not in session, you’ll likely find me outside with my Corgis, recharging in the fresh air, or enjoying a quiet moment that helps me show up fully for the people I work with.

As a therapist, I believe in:
✨ Creating a space where you can exhale
✨ Helping you untangle anxious thoughts
✨ Supporting you in building a life that feels more like your own

Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating—it can feel like a conversation, a pause, a place to land.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, this is your sign 💛

Many people with anxiety appear like they have everything together.

They show up to work.
They meet responsibilities.
They support everyone else.

From the outside, they may seem calm, capable, and dependable.

But internally, they may be dealing with constant worry, overthinking, and exhaustion.

This is often called high-functioning anxiety.

People experiencing it may feel like they always need to stay productive, handle everything themselves, and keep going even when they feel overwhelmed.

Over time, carrying that level of pressure can be incredibly draining.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep carrying it by yourself.

Therapy sessions can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin finding healthier ways to cope. I offer many coping strategies and tools to help. Check out my website: www.ntbeardslee.com to learn more.

Have you ever heard the term high-functioning anxiety before?

People sometimes ask me how I became a therapist.

The truth is, it wasn’t the path I originally planned.

There was a time in my life when I was navigating uncertainty about my career and trying to figure out what direction I was meant to take. During that time, I was working with a therapist who saw something in me that I hadn’t yet seen in myself.

One day they suggested that I might have the qualities to become a therapist.

At first, I was surprised by the idea. But the more I reflected on it, the more it began to resonate with me.

That conversation eventually led me down a path that has become deeply meaningful. Today, I have the privilege of sitting with people as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, difficult relationships, and major life transitions.

Therapy is a space where people can slow down, feel understood, and begin to make sense of the experiences they’ve been carrying.

Being able to offer that kind of support is something I’m incredibly grateful for.

Sometimes the right path finds us in unexpected ways.

Hello and welcome! I'm Nicole Turner Beardslee LIMHP LPC LADC. 🌿

I’m a Licensed Independent Mental Health Professional based in Omaha, Nebraska, and I work with adults who are navigating some of life’s most difficult seasons.

Many of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, or major life transitions. Others come to therapy because they are struggling with complicated family relationships, low self-esteem, or learning how to set healthier boundaries.

Therapy can also be a place for professionals — including other therapists — to have a supportive and confidential space to process their own experiences.

My approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to understand yourself with more clarity and compassion.

Seeking support takes courage, and you don’t have to figure everything out alone.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, therapy can help.

If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. 🤍Check out my website: www.ntbeardslee.com for more information about my services!
