851 Northwest 45th Street, Kansas City, MOMy name is Elizabeth Penniston, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a degree from Saint Louis University.

It's great to meet you. Here's a little about me: Like my parents, I became a therapist after getting my Masters Degree from the University of Kansas. My career taught me how movement, food and sleep affect a person's mental health. This lead me to treat eating disorders. I've been practicing for a decade and I see clients in Kansas & Missouri. I work with adults who have an eating disorder. I'd like to offer you a 15-min consult where we'll continue this conversation to see if we're a good fit.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kansas City
Searching for therapists in Kansas City starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists in KC, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that align with your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits what you’re looking for.
Kansas City offers a range of options across neighborhoods like Midtown, Westport, the Crossroads Arts District, Brookside, and the Northland. Your search may include in-person appointments near home or work, virtual sessions that fit your schedule, or a mix of both. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultation availability, and how the therapist describes their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Kansas City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find a therapist in Kansas City, MO who accepts your plan, shows estimated costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly with therapists accepting new patients. Browse therapists, review bios, and book when you’re ready.
