With over 12 years of experience in mental health counseling, workplace wellness, and integrated primary care behavioral health, my life’s purpose is to help people find wholeness. I’m passionate about offering compassionate support to individuals and couples as they navigate life’s challenges, ensuring they feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings—including hospitals, outpatient programs, and corporate environments—where I’ve built meaningful relationships with clients while managing high caseloads. Whether providing short-term counseling, coaching clients through transitions, or supporting employees in enhancing their well-being, I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where individuals can address their challenges with understanding and care.
A particular area of focus for me is helping couples strengthen their relationships. I find great fulfillment in guiding them through communication issues, conflicts, and life stressors. I believe strong, healthy relationships are key to overall well-being, and I’m passionate about helping couples build lasting, supportive connections.
I also work with individuals dealing with a range of issues like depression, anxiety, family challenges, and work-related stress, always aiming to help them find balance and self-discovery. Additionally, I have contributed to wellness programs and telehealth services, equipping individuals and leaders with tools to thrive both personally and professionally.
I am dedicated to continuous growth, which is why I’ve pursued additional training in areas like Primary Care Behavioral Health and telehealth technology. This allows me to stay adaptable and ensure the care I provide remains effective and relevant.
In every aspect of my career, I strive to create a safe, open, and understanding space for people to explore their challenges and feel supported on their journey toward wholeness.
Everyone has the power to grow, heal and improve their life. Maybe you are feeling stuck due to symptoms of depression or anxiety or are feeling overwhelmed by being in a difficult season of life. Therapy can help you process what you have been through, better understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and build healthier ways of coping so you can feel more grounded, resilient, and in control of your life again. Having a seasoned and trusted clinician alongside you can make all the difference in moving you towards your goals. For almost 25 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing depression, stress management, anger management, and PTSD so they can regain emotional balance, strengthen their relationships, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting change.
Hey there, I’m Karen, a licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) who brings warmth and humor to our therapy sessions, fostering a strong, trusting relationship as the foundation for pursuing your goals. Through my telehealth practice, I support adults in Kansas navigating personal challenges, life obstacles, and mental health concerns. I personalize my approach with each client, helping them uncover new possibilities and create meaningful emotional change.
I specialize in working with adults navigating hurdles like ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues, plus other emotional and mental health concerns. Whether you’re managing stress or seeking personal development, I offer education and skills to support your journey of growth. I especially enjoy assisting clients who come across as overly blunt or harsh, guiding them to refine their communication to connect more effectively while staying authentic.
My communication style is authentic, playful, and direct, paired with a splash of humor. I cultivate a space where you can explore and share freely. With thoughtful observation and clear communication, I notice what’s often overlooked and encourage honest dialogue.
I help you reach your goals by customizing therapy to fit you. I share analogies and relatable stories to bring clarity. I empower you to tap into your values, strengths, and passions to grow with integrity. By viewing emotions as messengers, not problems, I offer coping skills to manage them in a healthy way, giving you tools to find calm and achieve lasting progress.
The most important goal I have is providing a space where you feel heard and understood. I believe that when someone feels heard, the nervous system begins to heal. I am someone who wants to get to know you and build trust. I hope to provide a space for growth as well as laughter and joy. We all heal a little more when we can laugh with someone. I have 6 years of experience as a counseling graduate and 2 years of counseling experience from grad school. A few of my main areas of focus are anxiety, depression, OCD, attachment, and mood disorders. I specifically enjoy working with children 8 and up, teens, young adults, and women.
I want to join you in building a world full of connected, alive, brave people. With over 10 years experience as a therapist, and a constant curiosity about the world, I can support you in a way that honors your worldview, provides grounded support, and clears a path for unshakable healing. I will diligently advocate for open connection with the vital parts of yourself. I am here to help you feel fully connected.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping individuals heal from unresolved trauma and its impact on daily life, including relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and patterns that may feel difficult to change. I specialize in supporting clients navigating grief and bereavement, anxiety, panic disorders, ADD/ADHD, PSTD, family challenges, and stress management. My approach is warm, affirming, and solution-focused, and I strive to create a supportive space where clients can build insight, foster healing, and make meaningful, lasting change.
I have a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of St. Mary. I am transitioning from community mental health to private practice where I believe I can make a greater impact for others and their mental health needs
Hey there! I'm Jennifer, the therapist you want if you're looking to understand yourself in a greater and more profound way. Self-love and growth are my passions. I want to hear what you're going through and together finding a way toward experiencing the life you desire. I'll create the space where it's safe for you to just be yourself- without judgement!
I have a Master of Counseling Psychology from Avila University, and licensed in both MO & KS. Therapist since 2014.
About Paige
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've dedicated my career to guiding individuals and couples through their mental health journeys. My academic foundation includes a Master's degree in Mental Health from Mid-America Nazarene University, which equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of psychological principles and therapeutic techniques. Professionally, I specialize in addressing areas such as anxiety, trauma, and emotional regulation. I believe that connecting with your authentic self is the compass that guides you toward health and healing.
Beyond my professional qualifications, I believe in the power of shared humanity. As a neurodiverse therapist with dyslexia, I bring a unique and empathetic perspective to my practice. This personal experience allows me to connect with clients on a deeper level, fostering a truly understanding and non-judgemental space. Outside of the therapy room, I value quality time with my family and community, which helps me stay grounded and connected to the world around us.
