Jeanine Stewart

Jeanine Stewart

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.

Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.

As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kansas City

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Kansas City starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender identity, or the effects of minority stress, a provider who is trained in affirming care can make a meaningful difference. LGBTQIA+-affirming providers approach your identity as a strength — not something to fix — and many specialize in areas like coming out, family dynamics, and navigating discrimination.

Kansas City's mental health care landscape spans both the Missouri and Kansas sides of the metro, with providers offering in-person sessions in neighborhoods across the city and virtual appointments for added flexibility. When comparing providers, reading their bios can help you understand their approach, specialties, and what a first session looks like. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge whether a provider feels like the right match before you commit.

Therapy in Kansas City can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance 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 before booking, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
