Natasha Clark

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


Hi, I’m Natasha, a practicing therapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges.

Over the years, I’ve supported clients through struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and family dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make real, lasting changes.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Clients often share that they value my ability to listen deeply, provide fresh perspectives, and offer tools they can use in daily life.

If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with nearly two decades of professional experience, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth, clarity, and healing.

Therapist

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.

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.

Dr. Brady Eisert

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


I have over six years of clinical experience working with individuals navigating burnout, anxiety, faith crises, perfectionism, identity questions, depression, sexual concerns, and non-traditional relationships. I co-developed Self-Determined Relationship Therapy to bring together the most effective parts of proven models — EFT, Gottman, IBCT, ACT, IFS, and more — and adapt them to fit you, instead of fitting you to any single model. People are a lot like plants — a shade plant doesn't struggle in direct sunlight because it's broken, but because it's in the wrong conditions.

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist with additional formal research and supervisory training. I've been in my own dark spots. That's part of why this work matters to me.

Therapist

Virtual • Olathe, KS


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.

Life doesn't come with a roadmap — but building one is exactly what we do together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and military communities across school, clinical, and community settings. I've sat with people in some of the most demanding circumstances imaginable — from inpatient mental health facilities to active military bases — and I've learned that what helps most isn't a script. It's connection, clarity, and a practical plan that actually fits your life.

I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that hard work and determination lead to better outcomes. That belief has shaped every corner of my career — and how I show up for every person I work with.

I became fully licensed in 2021 and have enjoyed helping clients develop insight and change behaviors through their journey with me.
