Accepting new clients starting in August. I operate from a trauma-informed and person centered therapy approach with individuals of all ages, with a specialty in play therapy for children who have experienced trauma or complex stressful experiences. This means that I believe each individual has what it takes within them to be in charge of their own healing, and some people just need help along the way. That also means that you get to come exactly as you are and be accepted and cared for. We will take time to build a positive and authentic therapeutic relationship, which will hold the healing powers of safety and connection.

Life’s challenges can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, alone, or stuck. If you are experiencing these struggles, know that you’re not alone. I’m here to offer support and guidance to help navigate these difficult times together. Seeking help can be daunting, but I am so glad you are here to take the first steps toward progress and healing. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in both Missouri and Kansas, bringing over a decade of experience working with diverse adult populations.

Life comes with its fair share of stress and struggles. If you need support, help sorting through difficult feelings, or moving through a rough spot, my clients report feeling understood and hopeful, while seeing behaviors change and life situations improve. My style is collaborative, interactive, and engaging. I am very comfortable working with a variety of individuals, adults, seniors, teens and children. We can increase your insight, improve communication, uncover barriers, and problem solve to promote growth and change.

I am a therapist committed to supporting people who are experiencing the very human challenge of feeling caught in a pattern, stuck and unable to move forward at their desired pace, leading to feelings of dissatisfaction and distress. Distress and dissatisfaction may be experienced as trauma symptoms, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, loneliness, addiction, and relationship problems.

NOW accepting new patients! My passion is working with children and families, helping them to relate better with one another or to cope with normal family issues in healthier ways. I believe all clients possess the potential to improve their lives. My goal is to offer support and strategies so that clients can decide for themselves what is appropriate for them. I hope to help adult clients gain perspective and understanding of their lives so they are empowered to make meaningful changes for themselves.

I am heartened by people's willingness to reach out and courageously rediscover hope. The journey of life can be challenging and overwhelming. There are times when we are left standing at crossroads feeling disconnected or unappreciated. You may be experiencing loneliness, shame or guilt. Or may have reached a point of sheer frustration. I walk along side my clients as they revitalize relationships, empower their authentic self, and realize inherent potential. I provide therapy for couples, families and individuals, and welcome those of any age, gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation.

As a practitioner of Jungian, depth, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, I specialize in supporting those who feel stuck, down, depressed, or anxious; those who are searching for purpose, calling, or meaning; and those who are interested in incorporating dreamwork into the therapeutic process. Often, when we find ourselves at a standstill or in a crisis, our potential for healing and transformation comes from the unconscious side of the psyche. Since 2014, I have specialized in supporting veterans as they seek to heal and transform after war and military service, as well as first responders in search of healing.

My name is Kathy Alagna and I am a licensed therapist in Kansas City, Missouri. My passion is helping individuals with effective counseling and therapy.

I believe I can help you because I specialize in facilitating changes and skills that lead to profound transformations. You have already taken the first step which is a great sign of strength. It takes courage, especially if you are new to counseling or therapy. I look forward to meeting you and providing a trusting, supportive, and empowering environment.

I hold two fundamental beliefs about all humans; firstly, I believe every individual is infinitely unique. Secondly, I think every person can grow and be better than they are today. I believe my job is to help you find the tools and resources you need to continue growing. My favorite aspect of therapy is that it can be tailored to individuals' authentic thoughts, feelings, experiences, needs, or desires.

I am licensed in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, and Tennessee. Grief is a normal and natural response to loss experienced through death, illness, caregiving, and trauma. It often results in the loss of security or hope. Grief may create emotional challenges and strain our ability to cope or adjust. If you are struggling with grief and loss, I can help you to navigate these difficult times and uncomfortable reactions and offer a path forward. For over 25 years I have been guiding those that are grieving and those affected by sudden and traumatic loss, such as accidents, suicide, or homicide.

I have a strong passion for supporting caregivers who have recently received a diagnosis for their child, whether it be a mental health, developmental, or medical diagnosis. My goal is to normalize these emotions and offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment for caregivers to navigate through this journey without feeling isolated.

Together let’s take a slow deep breath. You are not alone on this journey called life! I’ve had the privilege to work with children, teens and adults, as they navigate many life’s challenges. I provide a strengths based, non-judgmental presence while utilizing proven, evidence based approaches, that fosters a sense of safety, autonomy and hope. My aim is to empower adults, children and groups to acquire the tools necessary to address symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. I present right action steps toward increased hope and healing for those dealing with grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

In client-centered Music Therapy, the client informs the interaction. Music Therapy works to address what we want to change by combining speech, movement, and body based interventions. This method of treatment works to quickly address the reflexive parts of the brain (where our survival instincts and fight or flight responses live). As a therapist, I'm there to provide support, expertise, and guidance! This type of therapeutic interaction can be especially accessible if talking about an event or identifying something specific is challenging.

Do you feel unheard? Do you need a non-judgmental ear when making life decisions? Do you wonder how did I get to this place in my life?
