🎉 Exciting News: Dr. Heather Calkins has been promoted to Director of Psychological Services! 🎉

From the very beginning, Dr. Heather has brought a rare and beautiful combination of deep clinical expertise, quiet confidence, and wholehearted compassion to our team. Her leadership is thoughtful, steady, and rooted in an unwavering commitment to the well-being of both our clients and staff.

She’s a true standout—not just for her brilliance in supporting youth with complex needs, but for the way she collaborates, mentors, and uplifts everyone around her. Whether she’s guiding a team conversation, consulting on a case, or empowering a family through tough moments, Dr. Heather leads with insight, purpose, and deep respect for every person she serves.

And now, as Director of Psychological Services, she’ll continue doing exactly what she does best: bringing wisdom, warmth, and just the right amount of dry humor to every situation. (If you’ve ever witnessed her casually drop a perfectly timed one-liner and gently correct a rogue comma—all in the same breath—you know exactly what we mean.)

We’re so lucky to have her leading this next chapter. Drop your love and congratulations for Dr. Heather below—she’s the real deal. 💜👇

💛🌍 World Suicide Prevention Day 🌍💛

Suicide is not “someone else’s problem.” It’s here—in our schools, in our families, in our communities. Too many people carry this pain in silence, believing they have to face it alone.

The truth is—you don’t. Talking about suicide doesn’t cause harm. Silence does. Reaching out, asking the hard questions, showing up for someone who’s struggling—these simple acts can be life-saving.

At Wabi Sabi, we want you to know: your life matters. You are valued. You are not alone. And there is always hope, even in the hardest moments.

📞 If you’re struggling, call or text 988 – Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (24/7).

Hope is real. Healing is possible. And tomorrow needs you here. 💛

We will be at the state capital on Friday for the Nebraska legislature’s Health and Human Services committee hearing on ABA rate reductions. According to HHS Committee, the goal of this hearing is to gather data about access and costs, analyze potential solutions and develop recommendations that could include the introduction of new legislation or changes to existing law. Feel free to join us to show your support for sustainable ABA in Nebraska.

A month after Medicaid rate cuts for applied behavior analysis therapy started, providers say they are cutting staff. The therapy helps children with autism. Nebraska health department officials say the new rates will make the program sustainable.

Wabi Sabi Behavioral Health will be closed Monday, September 1st in honor of Labor Day.

We’ll be back Tuesday, September 2nd, recharged and ready to keep doing the work we love alongside our incredible clients and families. 🌿💪

Wishing you a safe, joyful holiday with a little extra time for rest, laughter, and celebration. 🎉🇺🇸

🌟 Big News from Wabi Sabi! 🌟

We are excited to announce the launch of our sister company, Summit Academy — a Tier III behavioral academy supporting students who benefit from additional intensive behavioral and academic support.

Summit Academy provides individualized services with the goal of building skills toward independence so students can return to their home districts and experience long-term success.

We are especially grateful for our partnership with ESU 9, who has provided a dedicated K–12 special education teacher to help make this vision a reality.

Tomorrow is our first day of school, and we are honored to begin this journey with our students, families, and community.

📩 Schools seeking additional support for a student are encouraged to reach out to learn more about placement at Summit Academy.

Summit Academy, in partnership with ESU 9, provides a therapeutic, skills-based education program for students in grades 3–9 who need an alternative to the traditional school setting.
