Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


I am deeply committed to helping individuals discover meaning and purpose in their lives. With more than four decades of experience as a counselor, I specialize in guiding clients through recovery from addictions, anxiety disorders, and PTSD.

As an Associate Professor in the Online Department of Community Care and Counseling within the School of Behavioral Sciences at Liberty University, I facilitate courses designed to help students and clients rediscover their zest for life and cultivate lasting emotional well-being.

In my private practice, I work extensively with couples, equipping them with practical tools and proven techniques to restore joy, strengthen relational intimacy, and build fulfilling, resilient relationships.

I live in Lynchburg, Virginia, where I remain actively engaged in my community. My areas of specialization include trauma and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, child abuse recovery, and relational intimacy. I am also the author of Joy on the Same Page (2023), which outlines my Relational Intimacy approach.

Michael Valverde

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and never judged. My approach is collaborative and practical, helping you develop skills that you can use outside of our sessions rather than simply talking through problems week after week. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that helps people respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful action toward the life they want to build.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, my goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing and feel supported as we work toward lasting change. I strive to balance compassion with directness, offering both validation and practical strategies to help you move forward in a way that aligns with your values.

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.

Andrew Palatinus

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


With over 12 years of experience in mental health counseling, workplace wellness, and integrated primary care behavioral health, my life’s purpose is to help people find wholeness. I’m passionate about offering compassionate support to individuals and couples as they navigate life’s challenges, ensuring they feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings—including hospitals, outpatient programs, and corporate environments—where I’ve built meaningful relationships with clients while managing high caseloads. Whether providing short-term counseling, coaching clients through transitions, or supporting employees in enhancing their well-being, I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where individuals can address their challenges with understanding and care.

A particular area of focus for me is helping couples strengthen their relationships. I find great fulfillment in guiding them through communication issues, conflicts, and life stressors. I believe strong, healthy relationships are key to overall well-being, and I’m passionate about helping couples build lasting, supportive connections.

I also work with individuals dealing with a range of issues like depression, anxiety, family challenges, and work-related stress, always aiming to help them find balance and self-discovery. Additionally, I have contributed to wellness programs and telehealth services, equipping individuals and leaders with tools to thrive both personally and professionally.

I am dedicated to continuous growth, which is why I’ve pursued additional training in areas like Primary Care Behavioral Health and telehealth technology. This allows me to stay adaptable and ensure the care I provide remains effective and relevant.

In every aspect of my career, I strive to create a safe, open, and understanding space for people to explore their challenges and feel supported on their journey toward wholeness.

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 Kansas

Searching for therapists in Kansas starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Kansas has a wide mix of therapists across urban and rural areas, so available care may vary by location. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.

Location, format, and scheduling can shape which therapist is the right fit in practice. In Wichita, Topeka, Kansas City, and surrounding communities, some people prefer in-person sessions close to home or work, while others choose virtual therapy for more flexibility. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their style, what concerns they often support, and what a first session may look like.

The cost of therapy in Kansas varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated session costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your details to confirm your coverage for your location. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

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