Elizabeth Penniston

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 5.3 mi away • Kansas City, MO


My name is Elizabeth Penniston, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a degree from Saint Louis University. Throughout my academic journey, I dedicated myself to gaining both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, which led me to complete my practicum and supervision at a respected Domestic Violence organization. This experience has allowed me to work closely with individuals who have faced challenging and complex situations, further enhancing my skills in trauma-informed care, advocacy, and therapeutic support.

I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and effective mental health care, utilizing evidence-based practices, and fostering a safe environment for my clients. My work has instilled in me a profound understanding of the unique needs of those affected by domestic violence and the importance of empowering individuals as they navigate their healing journey.

Virtual • Missouri


If you are moving through a major life transition, especially one you did not choose, you may notice that old ways of coping no longer work. Many people I see are adapting to a new chapter, trying to build skills for what is next while caring about how change will affect the people they love. Some arrive unsure about trying therapy again after a difficult experience. Together, we explore how your family of origin and earliest relationships echo in what you face today.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kansas City

Finding the right ADHD therapist or psychiatrist in Kansas City starts with understanding the type of care you need. Therapists who specialize in ADHD often use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or behavioral therapy to help with focus, time management, and emotional regulation. If you're looking for medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can evaluate your symptoms and prescribe medication. Many people benefit from working with both a therapist and a prescriber.

The Kansas City metro area spans both Missouri and Kansas, which means provider availability and insurance networks can vary depending on which side of the state line you're on. When searching for a provider, consider what matters most to you — whether that's someone who works with adults, specializes in a specific therapy approach, or offers virtual appointments. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and experience before you reach out.

ADHD care in Kansas City can be costly without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who specializes in ADHD and is covered by your plan.
