Hello, and welcome. My name is Rebecca Lindquist, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in clinical practice. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas and began my career in medical social work. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with adults and older adults in a variety of settings. I am dedicated to supporting individuals through some of life's most important and vulnerable moments. I also founded a self-care group for local social workers 6 years ago, born out of a need to keep our community healthy. By prioritizing my own self-care, I'm able to be fully present, responsive, and emotionally attuned in our work together.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Kansas City, MO

Finding family therapists in Kansas City starts with understanding what your family wants to address together. Family counseling can support parenting conflict, adolescent concerns, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family counseling, child and teen support, couples work, or approaches like family systems therapy.

In a mid-sized market like Kansas City, you may find a mix of local offices and virtual appointments across the metro area. Some families prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions to make it easier for multiple people to attend from different locations. Session structure may vary, including full-family sessions, parent sessions, sibling sessions, or individual meetings with one family member. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each therapist structures care, communicates with families, and approaches shared goals.

Family counseling 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 see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you compare therapists who offer family counseling in Kansas City, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
