Bonnie Beckstrom

Bonnie grew up in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies but has considered Nebraska her home for 20 years now. She completed her undergraduate degree in Vocational Counseling at the University of Northern Colorado and her master’s in Community Counseling at Chadron State College. Bonnie is licensed in Arizona, Montana, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wyoming. Bonnie’s 16 years of experience include treating both those who have struggled with addictions and eating disorders, but also with the problems that accompany them, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting issues, and family of origin issues. She also has experience working with adolescents and young adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, gender dysphoria, grief, and family separation. Bonnie’s approach combines Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered, and Internal Family Systems. Her goal is to establish a trusting, mutually beneficial relationship and a safe space where you can feel free to share your struggles and feelings without judgment. Her approach to counseling will vary based on her clients' needs and will draw on her background and training to develop a treatment plan that meets each client’s needs. Bonnie has also worked with populations who experienced poverty and has established numerous community programs to prevent homelessness. In 2024, Bonnie was awarded the Lions Club Melvin Jones Award for providing exceptional community services. This is the highest award that can be bestowed on a Lions Club member! In her free time, you can find Bonnie experimenting with complex recipes in the kitchen, as cooking is a passion of hers. Bonnie loves the outdoors, enjoys hiking in national parks, and loves to travel. She also enjoys and values spending time with her family and pets.
