Nebraska's oldest town, home to Offutt
Care for Bellevue and its military community
Bellevue is Nebraska's oldest town and sits right next to Offutt Air Force Base, home to U.S. Strategic Command and the 55th Wing. That makes Bellevue a deeply military community, full of active duty families, retirees, and veterans, along with the civilian neighbors who live and work alongside them. Frequent moves, deployments, and the demands of service can make it hard to keep consistent mental health care in place.
shrinkMD brings board certified care to you by secure video, so a permanent change of station, a long shift, or a packed family schedule doesn't have to interrupt your treatment. Whether you're in Old Towne, Twin Creek, or the neighborhoods just off the base, the same clinician stays with you, from home and on your time.
You'll work with a clinician licensed in Nebraska. We provide outpatient psychiatric care for adults across the community, including military families and veterans, with local veteran resources noted below. For service connected care, the Sarpy County VA Clinic and the Omaha VA Medical Center serve the area.

I am connected to Offutt AFB. Can military families use shrinkMD?
Yes, we see adult family members and veterans across Nebraska. We do not bill TRICARE or other insurance; visits are flat fee with superbills available, and care stays outside military systems entirely.
Can I fit visits around a commute to Omaha?
Easily. Video follow ups run 15 to 30 minutes from home before or after the commute, so treatment never costs you the drive up 75.
