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.
My philosophy as a social worker and therapist is simple: we are not defined by our diagnoses. Over the past eight years, I have worked across various settings with teenagers, families, and individuals facing diverse challenges, from substance abuse and relationship struggles to developmental disabilities. I am deeply passionate about meeting people where they are at, using a human-centered approach that prioritizes your needs above all else.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Kansas City
Searching for OCD therapists in Kansas City starts with finding a therapist trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and many therapists receive specific training in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who list ERP, OCD, anxiety, or related experience in their bios so you can see how closely their training matches your needs.
In a mid-sized market like Kansas City, you may find both local therapists and virtual options across Missouri. Some people prefer an in-person office, while others choose virtual appointments for schedule flexibility or access to therapists with more specific OCD training. When reviewing therapists, look beyond whether they mention OCD. Check whether they describe ERP experience, appointment availability, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand their communication style and what care with them may look like.
OCD therapy in Kansas City can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, confirm insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
