Justin Der

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Overland Park, KS


I work with men, women, couples, and families who feel stuck in their relationships—especially when communication breaks down or emotions run high. Many of my clients are successful at work but find home life more challenging. I’ve worked in leadership roles managing teams and high-pressure decisions, so I understand that world. I bring a mix of counseling, pastoral, and leadership experience, and I create a space that is honest, practical, and non-judgmental.

Therapist

I've spent my career helping people navigate life's challenges. I have been a therapist for over fourteen years. I've worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and age groups, and I genuinely enjoy my work. I know that life can be difficult, and there can be times when you feel alone, without anyone who understands you or the situation you are facing. That is why I became a therapist to help those who feel stuck and misunderstood. I will never make you feel like just a number. My approach is client-centered and solution-focused. I will work with you in helping you reach the goals that mean the most to you.

The decision to seek counseling can be overwhelming. Finding the right fit and feeling like you are in a safe space can sometimes be a challenge. My goal as a therapist is to create a place where clients feel empowered, secure, and seen. I utilize an integrative counseling approach which allows me to tailor your treatment to your unique needs.

I work with clients of all ages and in all seasons of life. Especially those clients with ADHD or those who may be dealing with relationship issues, lack of self-esteem, anxiety, or depression. My top priority is providing clients with the best therapy experience possible as they work toward their personal goals.

You already took the first step toward the best version of yourself. I would be honored to walk with you on the journey toward a better, healthier you.

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 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.
