Hello! My name is Marcela Flynn, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Kansas and Missouri with experience supporting children, families, and adults across a variety of clinical and educational settings. I graduated from the University of Missouri–Columbia.

Everyone has the power to grow, heal and improve their life. Maybe you are feeling stuck due to symptoms of depression or anxiety or are feeling overwhelmed by being in a difficult season of life. Therapy can help you process what you have been through, better understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and build healthier ways of coping so you can feel more grounded, resilient, and in control of your life again. Having a seasoned and trusted clinician alongside you can make all the difference in moving you towards your goals. For almost 25 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing depression, stress management, anger management, and PTSD so they can regain emotional balance, strengthen their relationships, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in working with individuals and families navigating high-stress situations, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Over the years, I’ve supported clients through difficult moments such as conflict within relationships, overwhelming stress, and major life changes, helping them find clarity and move forward with confidence.

In my current role, I work closely with professionals and families to problem-solve complex situations, which has strengthened my ability to listen, identify patterns, and offer practical, real-life strategies. I’ve also had extensive experience in crisis intervention, supporting individuals during some of their most overwhelming moments.

I primarily work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, anger, and life transitions. I also enjoy supporting parents who are feeling overwhelmed and looking for guidance in navigating family dynamics, and communication.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, supported, and able to work through what’s going on in a way that feels both meaningful and actionable.

Important note: I don't schedule through Headway contact me for availability.

I am becoming very specialized in relational issues, whether meeting with couples or individuals. As a society, so many are struggling in relationships, connections, and sexuality. I look at these issues largely from a developmental perspective meaning increased self- knowledge can make a huge difference in getting unstuck from negative patterns.

My name is Vanessa Cox. I'm the Founder and CEO of Extensive Prevention Intervention Counseling Services (EPICS) LLC, a professional counseling practice, and the Founder and Board Secretary of EPICS J. R. Foundation. The driving force behind my lifework has been a personal mission to live with integrity and make a difference in the lives of others. With over 30 years of clinical and administrative experience,

Clients often describe me as approachable, practical, and easy to talk to. Therapy should be a collaborative process, and I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself without fear of judgment. My style balances support with practical problem-solving, helping clients gain insight while also developing strategies they can use in everyday life. Above all, I want you to feel heard, understood, and supported as we work toward your goals together.

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.

Feeling caught up in your thoughts and unsettled and anxious? Struggling with relationships and finding enjoyment in life? Overwhelmed by trying to make changes, but unsure how to proceed?

I am a guiding presence focused on getting to know you and providing tools you can use to be able to build awareness, sit with the discomfort of your thoughts and feelings, and find a path forward. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges and unfulfilling relationships.

I’m a clinical psychologist and performance coach, and I focus on teaching the emotional skills most of us were never taught. If you feel overwhelmed even though life looks “successful” on the outside, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are physicians, executives, athletes, business owners, and other high achievers dealing with anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, relationship strain, or intense pressure to perform. Together, we work on building emotional resilience, improving communication, and creating changes that actually last—not just quick fixes.

As a fully licensed therapist for 4+ years Ashley has had experience working with a wide range of clients. Recently she has begun to focus on women's health, ADHD and those with addiction issues.

Great to meet you! My name is Kayla Loving, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy for adults.

I specialize in working with adults who may look like they have it all together on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected on the inside. I primarily work with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, life transitions, boundaries, and difficulty prioritizing your own needs.

My approach is collaborative, relaxed, and individualized. I’m naturally introverted and reserved, and one of my strengths is being a genuine listener. I believe you know yourself better than anyone, so I don’t believe therapy should be about me telling you what to do. Instead, we’ll work together to understand what you’re experiencing, explore what you need, and find realistic strategies that fit your life.

In our first few sessions, we’ll get to know each other, talk about what brought you to therapy, and explore your goals. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. We’ll take things at a comfortable pace and build from there.

My style is laid-back but professional. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can exhale, be yourself, and talk openly without judgment. I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, set healthy boundaries, protect their energy, and make space for their own needs.

Outside of therapy, I love traveling, trying great food, spending time with my fur babies, reading, dancing, and watching comfort movies and shows.

If you’re looking for a therapist with a soft, understanding presence who will truly listen and meet you where you are, I’d be honored to work with you.
