Our Story: A New Direction Since 2010

Paradigm, Inc. began in 2010 as a consultation and training organization focused on improving family outcomes. Since 2012, we have expanded by partnering with Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services agencies to provide family support services and parenting time supervised visitation. We continue to grow and have added behavioral health support, therapy services, and Family Centered Treatment.

Our approach is rooted in collaboration, respect, and evidence-based practices. We believe every individual and family deserves a chance to thrive, and we work tirelessly to make that possible.
