We are EXCITED to have our newest intern, Tara Swartzendruber, joining our team and providing counseling services in our York office!

Let's meet Tara!

Tara works with kids ages 10+, teens, adults, and couples. She especially enjoys helping people with:
▪️ Women's concerns (Do we even need to list the long list of things we all have running through our minds and weighing on us?💚)
▪️Life transitions & stressors
▪️Identity, self-discovery, self-esteem, and confidence
▪️Grief & loss
▪️Relationship concerns
▪️Religious & spiritual trauma
▪️Parenting neurodivergent children

Tara brings a warm, down to earth approach to counseling. She strives to create a space where people can talk openly, feel heard, and work through what's going on without feeling judged or being told what they "should" do.

And the most exciting part? Sessions with Tara are completely FREE while she completes her internship through May 2027.

She currently has availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at our York office, with telehealth also available throughout Nebraska.

Whether you're looking for support for yourself, your teen, your relationship or you know someone who could benefit from having a safe place to talk...we'd love to help you get connected.

📍Prairie Spring Health - York: 1100 N Lincoln Ave, Ste D2
📲call/text 402-256-5867

The initial intake session will be with Ann Collingham, and ongoing sessions will be with Tara.

Mental health struggles don’t discriminate.

Farming and ranching take a tough breed; not only physically but mentally. The pressures of this way of life, the long hours, financial challenges, unpredictable weather, and the weight of carrying on a family legacy can slowly chip away at even the toughest exterior while so many quietly soldier on.

We’re grateful to see conversations like this happening. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. It doesn’t mean you are any less capable or that you can’t handle life’s challenges. It means you’re taking care of yourself so you can continue showing up for your family, your operation, and those that rely on you.

I know…I know…I’m talking to the people that pop joints back into place, close cuts with super glue, and can fix just about anything with some duck tape, a ratchet strap and determination.

But hear me out…

You don’t have to carry this alone. If you or someone you know is overwhelmed, burned out, constantly stressed or simply not acting like themselves reaching out is a sign of strength not weakness.

We’re here when you are ready. We offer counseling from our York and O’Neill offices, and if getting away from your operation isn’t an option we can meet you through secure telehealth.

Yes…even from the tractor or the combine during a break.

Take care of yourself. The farm/ranch needs you, but your family needs you even more. ~ Ann Marie

Have you ever had a question about mental health but weren't sure who to ask?

Maybe you've wondered:
💭 Is this anxiety or just stress?
💭 How do I know if my child needs counseling?
💭 What's the difference between ADHD and trauma?
💭 Is therapy actually helpful?
💭 How do I support someone who's struggling?

Now's your chance!

We've created an anonymous question form where you can ask us anything related to mental health, relationships, parenting, trauma, or therapy. We'll choose questions to answer in future posts and videos so everyone can learn.

No question is too simple—if you're wondering it, someone else probably is too.

👇 Submit your question here:

This form is for educational questions only and is not monitored for emergencies or requests for personal mental health care.
