Hi, I’m Natasha, a practicing therapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges.
Over the years, I’ve supported clients through struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and family dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make real, lasting changes.
I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Clients often share that they value my ability to listen deeply, provide fresh perspectives, and offer tools they can use in daily life.
If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with nearly two decades of professional experience, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth, clarity, and healing.
I work with high-functioning adults—often executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals—who have survived domestic violence, emotional abuse, or chronic trauma, and are ready to move beyond survival mode into real stability and direction. If you’re successful on the outside but exhausted, hypervigilant, or disconnected on the inside, this is where the real work begins.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 over 30 years of experience in the mental health field and have worked with clients at all ages of the lifespan. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Indiana University. I am licensed to practice in the states of Florida, Arizona, Indiana, Missouri and Alabama.
Hello and welcome! I have decade of experience treating adults, children, and families from a variety of different cultures and backgrounds. I take a holistic, integrative approach that enhances the mind-body-spirit connection. Currently, I meet virtually with adults, typically offering a combination of psychoeducation and skills in CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kansas City
Searching for therapists in Kansas City starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists in KC, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that align with your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits what you’re looking for.
Kansas City offers a range of options across neighborhoods like Midtown, Westport, the Crossroads Arts District, Brookside, and the Northland. Your search may include in-person appointments near home or work, virtual sessions that fit your schedule, or a mix of both. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultation availability, and how the therapist describes their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy 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 understand your out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find a therapist in Kansas City, MO who accepts your plan, shows estimated costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly with therapists accepting new patients.
