Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 9.2 mi away • Overland Park, KS
I work with busy adults and high functioning professional women experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, mood concerns, and menopause related mood changes. As a dual-certified nurse practitioner in both adult-gerontology and psychiatric mental health allows me to take a comprehensive, whole-person approach. My goal is to provide personalized care that feels thoughtful, supportive, and not rushed.
Finding the right provider can make all the difference. I’m a board- certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a background caring for both children and adults, including experience in pediatrics, adult ICU care, and outpatient psychiatry. I work with clients across the lifespan and have a special interest in ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. I value genuine connection and believe effective care starts with understanding the whole person, not just a diagnosis.
Hello, My name is Amanda. I am a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I see patients across the life span. I work in the emergency department and crisis as well as see patients in an outpatient setting.
I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management of ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your mental health journey.
I believe that every person's story is unique, so I take the time to understand your concerns, symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals before developing an individualized care plan. I incorporate medication management with supportive counseling and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and Motivational Interviewing, to help you build practical coping skills and achieve lasting improvement.
Whether you're struggling with difficulty focusing, persistent worry, overwhelming stress, low mood, emotional challenges, or life transitions, I work collaboratively with you to help you regain balance and improve your overall well-being. My focus is on delivering personalized, compassionate care that supports meaningful, long-term success in both your mental health and daily life.
I've spent 20+ years working with people who are smart, self-aware, and still stuck — and there's a reason for that. Insight alone doesn't change deeply worn patterns. What does change them is combining the right clinical approach with someone who actually understands what you're carrying. I work with adults, teens, and children across Kansas via telehealth, and I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and ADHD — as well as LGBTQIA+ affirming care, substance use, and maternal mental health.
My style is direct and warm. I'm not a head-nodding, "how does that make you feel?" therapist. I'll ask hard questions when they're needed, and I'll be in your corner every step of the way.
I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.

I graduated from the University of Missouri–Columbia.

I’m a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a variety of life challenges. My professional background includes school-based mental health, grief and loss, addiction and recovery, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and navigating major life transitions.
I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, relationship stress, trauma, substance use, and the pressure of trying to keep everything inside. Many of the people I work with are tired of bottling things up, reacting in ways they regret, or feeling like life has gotten off track. Some of my clients are trying to rebuild after rock bottom, others are learning that sobriety is just the start and want help creating healthier patterns, stronger relationships, and more stability in daily life. If you are ready for a new pattern, start with me.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use challenges, emotional overwhelm, and difficult life transitions. Many of the clients I support feel exhausted from carrying stress, self-doubt, unhealthy coping patterns, or the emotional weight of trying to manage everything on their own.
My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. Together, we’ll work toward understanding what’s keeping you stuck, strengthening healthier coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change that supports your emotional wellbeing and everyday life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Overland Park, KS
Finding addiction therapists in Overland Park starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with addiction counseling, substance use, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or medication-assisted care coordination. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
In a mid-size market like Overland Park, you may find local therapists near home, work, or nearby Kansas City, along with virtual options that expand your search. Recovery can involve changes over time, so it helps to choose a therapist whose approach feels steady, respectful, and nonjudgmental. You can also compare appointment availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they talk about addiction care, harm reduction, relapse prevention, and related concerns before you book.
Addiction therapy in Overland Park can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, partners with a wide range of insurance plans nationally, and shows estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
