My name is Marcelo Benalcazar. I am a father of four and a first generation son of two immigrants. I grew up in Topeka as a biracial/bicultural child and know all too well the feelings that come from being "different" than everyone else. In my free time I play video games (I have multiple systems and enjoy multiple genres), watch movies, read graphic novels, and LOVE all forms of music. Educationally I received my Associates Degree in Addictions Counseling from Kansas City Kansas Community College and my Bachelors and Masters from the University of Kansas where I graduated Cum Laude as an Integrated Behavioral Health Scholar. I am currently a dual licensed therapist with an LSCSW and an LMAC.
I earned the MSW from the University of Kansas in 2014. I have since engaged in a range of direct human and mental health service work; including in-home therapy with youth and their families connected to state child protective services; crisis therapy and case management in a short-term crisis stabilization facility; outpatient community mental health therapy including work with individuals, families or couples, and groups.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Topeka
Searching for therapists in Topeka starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People look for therapy in Topeka for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare Topeka therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy style match your needs. A therapist bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits what you want from care.
In a smaller city like Topeka, local therapist availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you see a Kansas-licensed therapist from a setting that works for you. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Topeka can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and filter by preferences like availability, specialty, and virtual or in-person care. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
