Welcome to my page! My name is Marlena Laney and I am one of the two counselors at St. Stephen the Martyr.

I have been a counselor for 25 years and love the progress that students make throughout the year. I am a licensed mental health professional as well as a licensed professional counselor. I am a National Board Certified Counselor with a BS in Sociology/Psychology and a MS in Counseling. I hold a specialization in grief processing. I have worked in a variety of settings and currently am a school counselor supervisor.

I am a mother to three children and have been married for almost 30 years. I love to travel every chance I get and have enjoyed my experiences meeting people from other cultures. I have been a missionary and believe our faith unites us in so many ways both seen and unseen.

One of my favorite hobbies is painting with cold wax and oil. I like to encourage self expression in students and find what they are passionate about. I try to incorporate art/expression techniques to engage individual learning.

I work part time Wednesday through Friday and every other Tuesday. My phone number is 402-861-4540.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I am here to support your students!
