I'm Melinda Powers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and owner of Parlami LLC, a private psychotherapy practice in Lawrence, Kansas. I hold an MSW from Arizona State University and am licensed in Kansas, Missouri, and Nevada.
My clinical approach is trauma-informed and integrative. I'm trained in EMDR and clinical hypnotherapy and I hold ADHD Clinical Services Provider credentials. I work with individuals, couples, and families ages 15 and up, with particular specialties in trauma recovery, ADHD, and conscious uncoupling for couples navigating separation or divorce.
I believe healing happens through genuine connection, not just technique. Whether you're working through past trauma, navigating attention or focus challenges, or facing the end of a significant relationship, I bring both compassion and directness to our work together. I'll meet you where you are, but I won't let you stay stuck there if real change is possible.
Parlami means "talk to me" in Italian, and that's exactly the invitation I extend to every client: a space to be honest, be heard, and do the real work of moving forward.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Overland Park, KS
Searching for couples therapists in Overland Park starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. As you compare Overland Park therapists, look for training that matches your needs. Licensed marriage and family therapists, and therapists trained in couples approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, may be a strong fit for relationship-focused care.
In a mid-sized market like Overland Park, the right match often depends on both clinical fit and practical fit. You may want a therapist with an office near your home or workplace, or you may prefer virtual appointments that make scheduling easier for both partners. It also helps to compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a brief consultation before the first session. Reading bios can show how each therapist works with couples, structures sessions, and supports both partners in the room.
Couples therapy in Overland Park can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, show insurance information, and have real availability. You can review profiles, compare options for couples counseling in Overland Park, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
