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 Mental Health Therapist in Wichita
Searching for therapists in Wichita starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Wichita therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a mid-sized city like Wichita, the right fit may depend on both location and schedule. You may prefer in-person therapy in Wichita, KS near Delano, Riverside, College Hill, or another part of the city, or you may prefer virtual sessions that fit more easily into your week. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and approach to care.
Therapy in Wichita can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists in Wichita, enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly with a therapist who matches your needs. You can browse profiles, compare in-person and virtual availability, and choose a therapist when you are ready.
