Lalanea (pronounced Luh-Lane-Yah) has worked for years in case management, education, and foster care.

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 Therapist in Topeka, KS
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.
