Top LGBT-friendly therapists and psychiatrists in Wichita, KS

Hello, my name is Denise M. Hunter-Mitchell, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
My therapeutic perspective begins and ends with grace. I entered this profession to support individuals as they reflect, create space for healing, and move toward lives shaped by purpose, balance, and meaning.
I believe healing occurs when people are met with compassion, patience, and the freedom to grow at their own pace.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Kansas. I have experience working with law enforcement, a strong history of assessing individuals in an active mental health crisis, and conducting individual, couples, and group therapy.
Please do not schedule on Headway. To schedule go to my website Madisontherapyco.com and book an appointment there.
I am a clinical social worker who has worked with all ages, from birth to elderly. I have a Masters in Social Work and am also a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor. My speciality areas are children and the LGBTQ+ community.
For 30 years, I've worked inside schools alongside children and adolescents — as a social worker, an advocate, and someone who genuinely understands how young people think, struggle, and grow. I know what anxiety looks like in a middle schooler. I know how ADHD shows up in a classroom. And I know that the kids and families who need support deserve to get it without spending years trying to find relief.
I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker — a credential I earned in November 2025, after raising two kids of my own while completing every requirement along the way. It took longer than I planned. I wouldn't change it. That experience shapes how I show up for every client.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas and work as both a school social worker and a therapist, giving me a perspective on young people and families that's grounded in their real, daily lives.
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.
Are you feeling stressed, emotionally exhausted, or like life has just felt harder lately? I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, and relationship stress. My goal is to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, feel truly heard, and gain practical tools to move through life with more confidence, clarity, and support.
Hi, I'm Debbie Landis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker on KS and MO with more than 25 years of clinical practice and experience supporting children, families, and adults through life's challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas and specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and the lasting effects of childhood experiences. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe, heard, and accepted. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can build insight, strengthen resilience, and move toward the life you want.
I believe in meeting my clients where they're at. They are the expert in their own story. I'm just here to listen, help process, maybe challenge, and encourage them in their journey. I went to Newman University for my Master's Degree and went on to get my Clinical License. I have worked with varying populations including teens, adults, geriatrics, the prison population, couples counseling, and Christian Counseling. I enjoy working with people who have been through trauma or grief or have experienced anxiety or depression.
I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, relationship stress, trauma, substance use, and the pressure of trying to keep everything inside. Many of the people I work with are tired of bottling things up, reacting in ways they regret, or feeling like life has gotten off track. Some of my clients are trying to rebuild after rock bottom, others are learning that sobriety is just the start and want help creating healthier patterns, stronger relationships, and more stability in daily life. If you are ready for a new pattern, start with me.
Hello All!
As a LSCSW I have experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in correctional, school, and psychiatric settings; while providing mental health services tailored for each individual. I help identify and navigate all of life's endless transitions and challenges. My style is warm, honest, culturally responsive, and judgment-free. Together, we will build self-love, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, recognize behaviors that may be holding you back, and explore healthier perspectives that support meaningful change.
I am drawn to matters of the heart, the deep questions we ask, how we find meaning, move through pain, and become more free. My own healing through relationships, therapy, spirituality, expressive arts, and body movement led me to become a therapist. I completed my MA in Couples and Family Therapy from Seattle University in 2019, opened my private practice in 2021, and have trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy for 6 years. I also bring experience as a yoga instructor, doula trainee, and spiritual seeker.
As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, my goal is to create hope and help people to realize that together we can overcome whatever struggles they are facing. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I have been a nurse for 27 years, and I strive to show compassion and understanding to everyone who needs help.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen without having to over-explain yourself. My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, deepen your relationships, and move through life with greater self-trust and ease.
My name is Cheryl Headley. I have worked in several different mental health roles throughout my nursing career. I became a nurse practitioner two years ago and have since been treating chldren and adults with many different mental health needs.
