About Paige
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've dedicated my career to guiding individuals and couples through their mental health journeys. My academic foundation includes a Master's degree in Mental Health from Mid-America Nazarene University, which equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of psychological principles and therapeutic techniques. Professionally, I specialize in addressing areas such as anxiety, trauma, and emotional regulation. I believe that connecting with your authentic self is the compass that guides you toward health and healing.
Beyond my professional qualifications, I believe in the power of shared humanity. As a neurodiverse therapist with dyslexia, I bring a unique and empathetic perspective to my practice. This personal experience allows me to connect with clients on a deeper level, fostering a truly understanding and non-judgemental space. Outside of the therapy room, I value quality time with my family and community, which helps me stay grounded and connected to the world around us.

If you're a new mom feeling more overwhelmed than overjoyed, a teenager who can't quite put your anxiety into words, or a young adult who keeps wondering why everything feels harder than it should — you're in the right place. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, perinatal and postpartum transitions, life stress, and the quieter struggles around identity and self-worth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Kansas City, MO
Finding postpartum therapists in Kansas City starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. You may also see terms like perinatal therapy or maternal mental health therapy, which can include support during pregnancy and after birth. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with postpartum care, counseling for postpartum depression, or a PMH-C credential, which can signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
In a mid-sized city like Kansas City, your options may include therapists with local offices and therapists who offer virtual sessions across Missouri. Virtual care can be especially practical for new parents who are balancing infant care, changing schedules, and physical recovery. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum depression counseling before you book.
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 find postpartum depression therapists near you, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you filter by specialty, availability, appointment format, and fit.
