Dr. Thuy Boardman

Psychologist

Virtual • Kansas


I'm a licensed psychologist with over 21 years of experience. My clients are high-functioning, responsible people who've reached a point where pushing through doesn't work anymore. They need deeper understanding, not just more coping strategies. You might be here because you keep noticing the same relational patterns. Or you're navigating a major transition. Or family dynamics from decades ago are showing up in your current life. Maybe you've achieved external success but something feels misaligned. You want to understand the "why" behind your choices, not just learn to cope better.

Here's what I want you to know: You can have your shit together professionally and still need help personally. You can have your shit together personally and still need help professionally. Success in one area doesn't mean you've figured out all the others - that's part of us being human.

Hi, I’m really glad you’re here. If life feels heavy, overwhelming, or like you’ve been carrying too much on your own, you’re not alone. I work with teens (12+) and adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck and unsure of what’s next. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside. In our work together, you’ll have a calm, supportive space where you can finally exhale, feel heard without judgment, and start making sense of what you’re going through. We’ll work together at your pace to help you feel more grounded, understood, and confident in your life.

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
