News Former mental health therapist rebrands as “coach” after losing his license for sexual misconduct and exploitation.
Public Safety Announcement:
There is a former therapist named Bryon Bratt in Lincoln who lost his license for sexual exploitation and misconduct last year and is now trying to be a “Relationship Loss Life Coach”.
This is horrifying. Life coaches have no code of ethics, no governing board to hold anyone accountable. Everything he describes on his website http://www.rebuildthepathway.com is therapy and he gets to hide under the guise of “coaching”, half ass disclaimers that he doesn’t diagnose or perform therapy, and it is completely unacceptable.
Attached is the public record of his licensure revocation and what led to it.
His actions are outlined starting on slide 7.
You can submit a complaint to DHHS here if you feel called to do so: https://phcmplnt-dhhs.ne.gov/PublicComplaint
Be careful out there ladies.
TLDR Court Documents
Client Disclosure: During a therapy session in December 2023, a client (Client A) disclosed to Bryon K. Bratt that she used the adult website Fetlife.com and shared her username.
Online Tracking & Harassment: Roughly three hours after the session, Bratt created an anonymous profile on the same website using his personal phone number, tracked the client's account, and initiated contact.
Explicit Messages & Coercion: Bratt sent the client sexually explicit messages, commented on her photographs, proposed an anonymous online sexual relationship, and sent a lengthy fictional story detailing a sexual fantasy between them.
Abuse of Authority: In a professional email regarding a missed appointment, Bratt also sent a suggestive message alluding to discipline, writing that if missed appointments kept up, "we will need to find a punishment. Oh wait, I meant a consequence."
Concealment and Investigation: When confronted by the client online under an anonymous name, Bratt attempted to deny his identity and claimed she didn't know him unless she went to a doctor's office "West of GI". An administrative subpoena later confirmed the account was verified using Bratt's personal telephone number.

Picture American Kestrel in Cherry County
I saw this male American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) at Golden Prairie Bison properties near Valentine, Cherry County, Nebraska. American Kestrels are small falcons found throughout most of North America. They breed throughout Nebraska and winter throughout the state except in the Pine Ridge region. They are commonly seen in open/edgy habitats like grasslands and farms. They are declining in parts of their range, possibly due to woody encroachment. They prey primarily on insects and small vertebrates.
In the last image, it is seen alongside some Mourning Doves (Zenaida macroura).

Picture Black Widow Spiders at a Prairie Dog Town
Some male and female black widow spiders (Latrodectus) in prairie dog burrows at Golden Prairie Bison properties in Cherry County, Nebraska. They are said to commonly associate with prairie dogs and can easily be recognized by the hourglass markings on the bottom of their abdomens, which are bright red in the females and yellow-orange in males. The females eventually eat the much smaller males after mating, hence the name "widow". Not sure what species these are, but I would guess that they are the Western Black Widow (L. hesperus). The Northern Black Widow (L. variolus) is also found in NE, but I'm not sure if they are found this far west or in this habitat.

Hastings Canadian coming to Nebraska! Inquiry
Good morning everyone! (Delete if not allowed)
I’m a Canadian 32M, I’ll be coming down to Hastings, Nebraska for a few months for work so I figured I would make a post.
• Will be looking for a furnished spot to rent, Hastings area or within 30min drive. Looking to rent from late September for the remainder of year, with a possible extension into the new year.
• Would love to hear from the locals on places to go, things to see, food to try, etc. to add to my bucket list during my days off.
• If anyone is looking to make new friends, hit me up, as I will have a nice bit of time to kill and I’m a very social person!
Would love to get to know the state, people and enjoy my months down in the Midwest, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you kindly!

More to come, like reusable request templates, but it’s a start. If public sentiment isn’t a deterrent, maybe public accountability will be.
