About Matthew Schmeckpeper

I have my Nebraska LMHP 5395 and PLADC P2228 and Iowa LMHC 089650. I am currently paneled for Blue Cross/Blue Shield (Antem, Health Link, Amerigroup), Aetna, Iowa Total Care, Molina and Midlands Choice. I have worked for community mental health, early development and mental health, school client with mental and behavioral health, residential substance use treatment, correctional treatment, Intense Outpatient and outpatient services. I have used DBT, emotional regulation, and client experiences for both what has been done historically and how they would like to change. I have passions for child abuse recovery and empowerment, been with organizations that are supportive and empowering to those that are part of or served by the organizations.

“Best therapist I ever encountered. He listens and gives great tools and advice. He really helps see situations from other perspective.”

“Matthew has been amazing to work with. He genuinely cares and works on things weekly/gives me homework. He challenges me and I appreciate that as other therapists in the past have simply listened and not really pushed or assigned anything with sessions being more venting than progressing. Highly recommend!”

“Dr Schmeckpeper has only done one session with my teenage daughter so I am not yet in a position to evaluate, but she did say that she enjoyed talking with him so I am optimistic that follow up sessions will go well!”

“Matthew has been very helpful to our son! Highly recommended!”

“It’s been good, this is something I need and he makes it easy to talk and offers understanding and support.”

“Matthew has helped me a lot over the years. Really disappointed that we can no longer work together, but wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

“Matthew has been a solid resource and a great outsider perspective on a variety of topics and concerns. He has provided meaningful input and advice on challenging situations, plus resources to dig deeper into coping strategies. Matthew’s approach has been comfortable and patient, but he is not afraid to bring up thought-provoking questions when necessary. His suggestions have helped me improve toward meeting my goals, and he has made some eye-opening observations from unexpected angles that called my attention to things I was doing which were contributing to some problems. I enjoy my sessions with Matthew.”

“Matt has been a great help in navigating personal and family issues, and is a perceptive and supportive listener.”

“Matt identifies areas that I need improvement on by encouraging me to channel my thoughts.”

“It has only been a few sessions but has been helpful and look forward to the remaining sessions”

“Matthew has been instrumental in providing support for me in very difficult times. His experience, expertise and ability to articulate and quickly understand my issues gave me full reassurance I was getting the best help.”

“Matt is an excellent listener and is able to distill multiple conversation threads into a single thought pattern that's easy to understand. He's very patient, attentive and is very good at creating a safe and unassuming space in which you can express yourself. He is open to being challenged and receptive to different points of view. I've enjoyed working with him thus far.”

“More than meets the eye. Very experienced, professional, and attentive. Makes me feel hear and understood”

“Matthew offers great support. He offers a safe space where you can talk freely and responds in very professional manner that enables the healing process. Thank you Matthew”

“So far he has been really understanding and seems to care for his patients Which is a big plus 4 me”
