We welcome Dr. Drew Heckman to Perspective Behavioral Health. Drew will offer telehealth/virtual appointments and is accepting new patients. Phone: (402) 986-6250 Ext. 11

Dr. Heckman earned his Ph.D. in School Psychology from Indiana University and completed his pre-doctoral internship at Boys Town Center for Behavioral Health.

Dr. Heckman is a licensed psychologist who’s passionate about helping people live more balanced and meaningful lives. He works with children, teens, and adults. He currently only offers virtual/telehealth appointments. Dr. Heckman tailors his approach using a variety of evidence-based therapies like ACT, DBT, CBT, EMDR, and parent training. He’s especially interested in helping people understand the connection between mental and physical health—a belief that’s shaped both his personal and professional journey.

Areas of interest: Dr. Heckman likes working with anxiety, depression, childhood or adolescent behavioral problems, college-age clients, and athletes. He is a generalist in his practice and works with a variety of problems applying evidence-based principles to the presenting problem.

When he’s not working with clients, you’ll probably find Dr. Heckman with his nose in a book (mostly fantasy or science fiction), soaking up time with his family, or staying active outdoors. Dr. Heckman has always been drawn to movement and competition. He played football, basketball, and baseball in high school, and went on to play linebacker at Butler University. After college, he ran ultra marathons and became a competitive powerlifter—experiences that continue to inform his belief in the powerful link between body and mind. He brings warmth, curiosity, and authenticity into every session and loves walking alongside people as they grow into healthier, more grounded versions of themselves.

Please welcome Rene Pretorius-Parks LIMHP LMFT to Perspective Behavioral Health.

Rene Pretorius-Parks completed her Master of Science (MS) degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2004, with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. She completed her internship at the University of Nebraska-Medical Center, while obtaining a Post-Graduate Certificate in Medical Family Therapy. Rene initially worked in community mental health in Lincoln, NE before moving to Omaha in 2008. For the last 15 years, Rene has worked as a staff therapist in the Behavioral Health Clinic
at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center. During her time there she provided outpatient services that included individual and family therapy, crisis, and risk assessments, as well as behavioral medicine consultations.

Rene’s clinical areas of interest include pediatric behavior problems, ADHD, trauma, child abuse/neglect, individual/family adjustments that includes divorce, acute or chronic illness, mood/anxiety disorders, parent-child conflict, family therapy, and sports performance training.

Rene provides treatment out of a family system’s framework. She believes that a child’s individual problems are best understood and examined within a larger system that most often includes the parent-child relationship and/or the family system. A change in one family members behavioral or emotional state can affect the entire system. Rene also uses a cognitive-behavioral therapy approach to assist individuals in becoming more aware of the parts they play within their larger system. It is through these
lenses, in collaboration with parents/caregivers, that appropriate treatment interventions are developed.

Rene believes that the development of a good therapeutic relationship with her clients is a critical part in the process of goal achievement. For these reasons, Rene values input from all parts of the system; wants all to feel heard, validated, and respected; but most importantly, wants your child to feel that
therapy is a safe place for them to share their feelings and be comfortable being themselves.

Rene is currently taking referrals for children (ages 2-18) and young adults (ages 18-25). Please visit www.perspectiveomaha.com to schedule with her today.
