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.

Hi, I'm Debbie Landis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker on KS and MO with more than 25 years of clinical practice and experience supporting children, families, and adults through life's challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas and specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and the lasting effects of childhood experiences. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe, heard, and accepted. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can build insight, strengthen resilience, and move toward the life you want.

You're navigating something hard right now, whether that's anxiety, depression, grief, a major life transition, or stress that just won't let up. You don't have to figure it out alone. I'm Joseph, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people move through uncertainty with confidence. My work is grounded in a simple belief: when we accept change and prepare for it thoughtfully, we transform it from a source of crisis into an opportunity for growth .

I work with adults who are managing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and life transitions such as divorce, retirement, or career shifts. I aim to create a calm, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where you can be honest about how you’re doing—without feeling like you have to have it all figured out. My goal is not to tell you who to be, but to walk alongside you as you clarify what you want your life to look like and take steps toward it at a pace that feels right for you.

Welcome!

Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I am Brenda Melton, PhD, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in nursing. I hold several specialty certifications and have experience treating anxiety and depressive disorders, as well as working with individuals struggling with addiction, personality disorders, and the effects of trauma.

One of the most rewarding parts of therapy is experiencing those "aha" moments—when a realization, insight, or new understanding suddenly brings clarity to a complicated life experience. These moments often provide direction, open new possibilities for change, and inspire hope for healing and growth.

If you're carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, or a past you haven't been able to fully

process, you don't have to figure it out alone. With more than five years as a Licensed Clinical

Social Worker, I work with adults and seniors who are ready to make sense of what they've been

through and start moving toward the life they want to build.

I have a particular passion for working with people navigating mood disorders like bipolar disorder,

trauma and PTSD, and the kind of emotional challenges men often face but rarely talk about. I also

work with couples who want to strengthen their connection before things fall apart.
