Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.3 mi away • Lenexa, KS


Hello! My name is Jason Porter. I work with adults, and teens and couples who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or just some general life struggles. I know from experience that life can be difficult, and sometimes getting some help can make all the difference. I love to listen and help others live the life they want to live. I believe this is my purpose and feel blessed to be able to help. I started my mental health career working at a community mental health center for several years. I then moved on to School counseling, and now I am working in private practice.

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individual adults. I support clients navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy can help you better understand yourself, strengthen self-trust, and the clinical belief that any person can change course in life at any time.

I draw from approaches such as EFT, IFS, ACT, and integrative experiential techniques, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore emotions, patterns, and strategies that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself and the relationships that matter most.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Kansas


Hello, my name is Patrice Dumas Veraguth, and I am a board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I work with adults and am passionate about providing thoughtful, evidence‐based mental health care that is collaborative, respectful, and individualized.

My treatment style is patient‐centered and collaborative. I believe that effective mental health care starts with listening, education, and shared decision‐making. When appropriate, I incorporate medication management alongside psychoeducation, practical coping strategies, and coordination with therapy or other supports. My goal is always to help clients feel informed, empowered, and supported in their care.

I strive to create a safe, non‐judgmental, and welcoming space where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and goals. Whether you are seeking help for focus and attention issues, mood changes, anxiety, or clarity around a diagnosis, I am committed to working with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your life and values.

I earned my MSN from Northern Kentucky University, and I bring over six years of psychiatric experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I currently hold inpatient privileges at three hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, which keeps me connected to full spectrum of mental health care. I work with patients ages 5 and up treating a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and more. My approach combines careful medication management with genuine listening because you're more than diagnosis.

Michelle Daniel

Michelle Daniel

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


For 30 years, I've worked inside schools alongside children and adolescents — as a social worker, an advocate, and someone who genuinely understands how young people think, struggle, and grow. I know what anxiety looks like in a middle schooler. I know how ADHD shows up in a classroom. And I know that the kids and families who need support deserve to get it without spending years trying to find relief.

I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker — a credential I earned in November 2025, after raising two kids of my own while completing every requirement along the way. It took longer than I planned. I wouldn't change it. That experience shapes how I show up for every client.

I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas and work as both a school social worker and a therapist, giving me a perspective on young people and families that's grounded in their real, daily lives.
