MECC is a mental health therapy practice rooted in Kearney, NE. We strive to bring warmth, compassion, empathy, and collaborative support to everyone that comes through our doors.

At MECC, our clinicians serve a wide variety of people from children to adults, individuals and families, and people from all walks of life. We work to bring healing to trauma, to break cycles of generational trauma, and to allow people the safety to explore and express themselves in their most authentic way.

Our clinicians have dedicated themselves to developing expertise in many areas including: attachment work; trauma work; core issues of adoption; depression and anxiety; family relational issues; issues concerning the LGBTQ+ experience; and many, many more.

Dear Valued Clients and Families,

We know that many of you are experiencing a deep sense of uncertainty, fear, and even heartbreak as recent immigration policy changes have deeply impacted families in our community. At MECC want you to know that you are not alone. We stand with you and are unwaveringly committed to your health, well-being, and—most of all—your dignity.

Our mission has always been to provide fair, culturally sensitive, and compassionate care, regardless of your background, language, or immigration status. This has not changed. MECC is here for you.

We want to reassure you that:

  • Your health and safety are our priority! MECC continues to be a place where you can access the care you need without fear or judgment. While we understand that recent changes may make the concept of a “safe space” uncertain, please know that your care is confidential, and our team is here to support you every step of the way.

  • If you or your family are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or distressed, we offer compassionate behavioral health care tailored to your needs. We encourage you to reach out—our team is here to listen and help!

  • We have a diverse and multilingual staff to ensure that you are treated with respect and understanding in the language you feel most comfortable speaking. We will always deliver culturally competent care. It is at the heart of what we do!

At MECC, we believe quality healthcare is a right of all people, not a privilege, and we are committed to walking with you in your journey, no matter what challenges we face—no matter what the future holds.

If you have questions, concerns, or simply need someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. The team at MECC is here for you.

Sincerely

Jody Angel-Trejo

Owner and Therapist
