About Maida Avdic
I earned my Master of Social Work and Master of Public Administration in 2020 at UNO. My previous education also includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from UNO in 2011. I have been a mental health therapist for five years. I have previous experience working with individuals through mental health services in outpatient and day treatment settings as well as in residential disability rehabilitation centers. I am also currently providing mental health services to college students at a campus-based, outpatient counseling center.
In line with my my social work training, I am passionate about serving diverse populations using a strengths-based approach with multiple intervention strategies including cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy. I am particularly interested in serving immigrant populations, current and future healthcare and human service workers, as well as individuals experiencing chronic health conditions and disabilities. I also have advanced skills & experience in suicide prevention on both the individual & community level.
In my my free time, I enjoy the outdoors, especially warm weather activities such as swimming and long walks, live concerts, musicals, and practicing yoga. I also love dogs and feel passionate about their therapeutic potential in people’s lives. I am an immigrant from Bosnia and enjoy learning about and spending time with diverse immigrant communities in the Omaha area.
