ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a minor in Business from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and I’ve been passionate about this work ever since. I have over seven years of experience supporting and coordinating mental health services, particularly for court-involved individuals.

In my role, I oversee the day-to-day operations of our administrative office, manage billing and credentialing, and help ensure that our team runs smoothly and efficiently. I enjoy being the go-to person for problem-solving and finding creative, practical solutions to everyday challenges.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, digging in the garden, or road-tripping to explore national parks.

OPERATIONS DIRECTOR

Hi, my name’s Thomas McPherson (he/him) and I manage the practice’s public relations and marketing activities. I also try to keep computers running, the plumbing unclogged, and the light bulbs glowing.

I graduated from Metropolitan State College (now Metropolitan State University) in Denver, Colorado with a B.A. in English with minors in History and Journalism. I moved to Nebraska in 2010, and obtained a certification in Technical Writing, also from Metro State. When I’m not at work or tending to fatherly duties I busy myself with gardening or yard work. I really enjoy art and graphic design, and if something’s geeky chances are I’m a fan.

CLIENT CARE COORDINATOR

Hello! I’m originally from St. Louis, Missouri, and I recently earned my B.A. in Psychology from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. As a Client Care Coordinator, I’m dedicated to fostering strong relationships and ensuring each client feels supported and valued. I bring a warm, thoughtful approach to my role and am excited to contribute to a collaborative and client-centered team environment. Outside of work, I enjoy reading mystery and thriller books, cooking, traveling to new places (especially the beach), and spending time with friends and family.

CLIENT CARE COORDINATOR

Hello! My name is Alexandra (she/her) and I joined the NMHC team as a part-time Client Care Coordinator after graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a Ph.D. in English. In both my teaching and my role at NMHC, I value the opportunity to build connections and support the people around me.

When I’m not on campus or at the front desk, I love exploring used bookstores and antique shops, reading my way out from under a pile of books, playing Scrabble with my partner, and snuggling with our three cats.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner who began working for NMHC in December 2001. I specialize in services for seniors and faith-based treatment. I graduated in May 2000 with a Master of Arts from Grace University, and have been an independent contractor working with NMHC for several years focusing primarily on in-home therapy.

I am an experienced therapist and graduate of Doane College in Crete, Nebraska. I’m an independent contractor working with NMHC primarily providing services to adults and couples. My husband and I are the parents of two young boys.

Wendy is a graduate of NMHC’s Psychology Internship Program.
