Dr. Gerald Igboanusi

Dr. Gerald Igboanusi is a Nebraska-based therapist who combines a practical, strengths-focused approach with a compassionate, multicultural perspective. He is described as authentic, friendly, nonjudgmental and down-to-earth, and he aims to offer honest feedback while modeling the same practices he recommends to clients. Health and well-being are central to his personal and professional life, and he will not ask clients to try treatment methods he has not practiced himself.

He works with individuals and couples facing a range of challenges, including marital and relationship difficulties, loss and grief, depression, anger, family conflict, major life transitions, and spiritual concerns. His primary approach is solution-focused counseling because it emphasizes measurable results; he also draws on person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other integrative methods based on each client’s needs.

Dr. Igboanusi spent nearly two decades in ministry supporting children, teens, adults, parents, groups, and families, and he has taught counseling at the graduate level since 2016. He currently teaches at Creighton University’s Graduate School, serving as a Resident Assistant Professor in the Department of Education within the School Counseling and Preventative Mental Health Program. He also maintains a private practice where he provides therapy to a diverse population and offers supervision to pre-licensed therapists, interns, and graduate students.

He serves as a Military Family Life Counselor and brings over ten years of military service to his clinical perspective. Having traveled the world, he embraces people of varied cultures and beliefs and uses a holistic, nonjudgmental, multicultural approach that builds on clients’ strengths and support systems. Dr. Igboanusi earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communication from Saint Norbert College and holds both a Master of Science in Community Counseling and a Doctor of Education in Leadership with an emphasis in College Counseling from Creighton University. He is licensed in Nebraska as an independent mental health practitioner (license NE LIMHP 3031).
