Dr. John-Paul Witt, MA, DSW, LIMHP

Please note: Dr. Witt has limited availability for new clients.

Originally from Miami, Florida, and educated at the University of Notre Dame, University of Missouri-St. Louis, and the University of Alabama, my path to becoming a therapist includes a wide range of experiences. Aside from having lived in various parts of the U.S. and in Egypt, I have worked in inpatient psychiatry, substance use rehabilitation, a university psychiatric hospital, and in roles as both a psychiatric social worker and high school social worker.

Today, I serve young adult women, men, and nonbinary clients who are looking for a supportive, down-to-earth space to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. My practice is LGBTQIA+, poly, and kink affirming, and I welcome clients from alternative lifestyles and relationship structures without judgment.

I have extensive experience supporting university undergraduate and graduate students, survivors of sexual assault, adults with ADHD, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

At the heart of my work is the belief that people grow when they feel accepted, understood, and safe enough to be honest. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills to help clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns, manage difficult emotions, and change habits that no longer serve them. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your goals.

I am fully licensed in Nebraska and hold a doctorate in clinical social work. My advanced training allows me to stay current with effective clinical approaches and bring a broad depth of knowledge to my work with clients. I have also taught university courses focused on the history and practice of social work with diverse populations.

You do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, uncertain, or ready for something to change, I offer a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, gain clarity, and move toward the life you want.
