Therapists Beginning With F in Kansas

Most of us come to therapy because we are struggling and wish to find a way through. We are seeking ease, a better life, a better version of ourselves, or to better know ourselves. In psychotherapy, we can discover innate tools for healing and practice new ways of being to uncover our potential. Finding Ease Therapy creates a space for clients to be seen and heard. Clients are guided to deepening awareness through individualized techniques. In releasing behavioral, emotional, and cognitive disturbance, we clarify and make space for our dreams. This approach, coupled with skill building for when times get tough fosters ease.

There are many things in the world around us that elicit fear, anxiety, and worry. Sometimes those things are easy to point out. Other times, we may find it difficult to know what is causing us to feel a certain way. The truth is that many of us struggle with anxiety, depression, and other issues on a daily basis. One of the things that can help us overcome those scary thoughts and feelings is to confront them and process them. Doing this alone can be overwhelming, that's where I come in. As a therapist, I strive to help restore hope to your heart, and peace to your mind.

Sometimes life’s challenges seem to be overwhelming and you need a neutral ear to listen and help you sort things out. Sometimes your child needs help because they are struggling or maybe it’s your relationship that needs attention. I offer mental health services to people ages 4 to 94 and take all major insurance’s. Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, gender issues, and addiction are just a few of the reasons my clients come to me. We will work together to help you achieve your full potential, strengthen your relationships and live your best life!

It takes great courage to sit right where you are now, reaching out, and deciding to finally ask for help. Welcome to the journey. I am a clinical social worker and clinical addictions counselor with over 16 years of experience in the field. I work with clients ages 16 + from all walks of life who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, chemical and food addictions, relationship issues, abuse, compassion fatigue, end of life issues, and spiritual crises.

Do you find yourself on the outside of the life you wish you were living? Are feelings of anxiety, stress, or depression blocking your way? Are you struggling with relationship, family issues, or the continuing pain of traumatic events? You don’t have to find your way forward alone. Healing requires connection, and a space for validation.

We're proud to be the largest private mental health clinic in Douglas County and the surrounding area. This affords us a broad array of services, client types, and approaches to treatment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck by the ongoing stresses of life? Do you feel having trouble to connect with the people whom you genuinely care about?

Hello, I'm Michael, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a proficiency in handling a diverse array of issues. My experience include Couples Counseling, Managing Anxiety, Depression, optimizing Mental Performance, and various other concerns. I focus on assisting clients aged 14 and above, providing empathetic assistance to navigate life's difficulties and improve their overall wellness. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wichita State University, with a focused track in sport counseling. Currently, I'm actively pursuing my CMPC certification, which is the gold standard for Sport Psychology.

I enjoy working with teen and adult individuals from all walks of life, but feel particularly drawn to walking alongside clients on a journey of empowerment and liberation from oppressive and unhealthy relationships and/or systems. I believe that the most healing part of therapy is the co-created space and relationship between clinician and client. My work is trauma-informed, and I practice from a stance of authenticity, acceptance, and warmth. I have a blended approach, regularly drawing from theories such as client-centered, CBT, narrative, attachment and social learning, transactional analysis, and restorative/embodied practices.

If you're struggling with anxiety or feeling distant from your loved ones, therapy can help. Your anxiety might make you feel uneasy around others, withdrawn, or a combination of both. Whether you’re new to therapy or have explored it before, our work together will focus on understanding your anxiety, how it shows up in your relationships, and expanding your awareness of your self. If your struggle with anxiety has been brought up by a new life experience or has been a constant all your life, talking about it gives us the understanding to reduce your confusion and suffering.

Seeking therapy and embarking on a journey toward healing can feel daunting, especially when faced with the traditional power dynamics of an office setting. That’s why I offer online therapy, allowing you to receive support from the comfort of your own home or any place where you feel most at ease. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone—instead, you can find solace and guidance in your own safe space as we work together. I will hold a space for you where we can build a rapport based on trust and understanding, using various treatment modalities to achieve your goals for a better life.

No matter what has brought you to this place, change is possible. You may feel exhausted on the hamster wheel of anxiety or stuck in a pit of depression. You may be grieving a life that you used to know and struggling to find your new footing. You may just feel stagnant and in need of a fresh perspective. If therapy is the next right thing for you, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in uncovering the path forward as you discover more “next right things.”

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has years of experience working with Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Mood Disorders, Marriage/Relationship Issues, Parenting Issues, Trauma, Grief and Loss, Spiritual Issues, Elderly Issues, ADHD, and Behavior Issues in Children,

Struggling with any kind of distress or mental illness can be very difficult.

We will provide you with the guidance and solace needed to develop yourself into someone who can deal with the most extreme situations and improve in all mental aspects of your life.

Congratulations on taking the FIRST courageous step toward dealing with your PAIN that is no longer working for you; or perhaps you like to grow and learn more about yourself; or you want to achieve HEALING from grief/loss related to major life changes. Painful symptoms related to trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, or relational issues are tough to tackle by yourself. By giving a non-judgmental and an empathetic therapist a CHANCE and Therapy time, change IS possible. I am dually licensed in Kansas and Missouri.

Counseling is often thought of as something "weak people" turn to or something to use when you're "going crazy". In reality, counseling is a process that helps people deal with problems that occur with living our day-to-day lives. When life feels difficult or stressful, it often helps to talk with a person who listens well - to have a place where you can be heard and understood in a way that makes a difference. Counseling is that place; a collaborative process that can help you explore what's working well in your life and what you want to be different. With counseling, I want you to be able to live your most authentic life.

When you come to therapy, it should feel like you’re coming home. I believe that no chance occurs without a relationship first. Let me be your wingman and we will get through this together. You are not alone.

As a therapist, I have focused my practice on working with trans and queer children and adults; hell-raising teenagers; families dealing with the foster care system; and garden variety anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.
