Christian Counseling Therapists in Andover, KS

Hi, my name is Julie. I have worked with individuals and couples seeking to cope with a variety of challenges. Areas that I specialize in are anxiety disorders, trauma, and new transitions. I am trained in phase 1 & 2 of Brainspotting and in EMDR. These techniques help us process into the subcortical levels of our brain to experience deeper and longer lasting healing. I am available to provide a Christian counseling perspective, but I love working with clients from any walk of life. Therapy is not always easy, but I would be honored to help you on your journey in Learning to Thrive.

Are you an older or younger adult battling life challenges, relationship issues & personal development? Do you have a young child/children struggling to fit in, isolating, and making poor choices? I am a Black/African American therapist who provides therapy to toddlers, young children & teenagers ages 4 - 17, and women ages 18 - 65 in the Kansas City areas & Wichita, KS. I tailored my practice to meet clients where they are, providing them with a non-judgmental space to do so. I have noticed this approach has proven successful in helping clients of all ages and backgrounds feel comfortable sharing.

Hello! I believe in addressing the person as a whole: body, mind, emotion and spirit. Walking through issues at your pace and in the right time. I work toward: integrating the fractured parts of a person toward wholeness, considering and working through ineffective patterns and beliefs, developing skills to regulate emotions, working to rewire the ineffective neurological pathways established in the brain, releasing stored trauma emotions, addressing dysfunctional relationships with others and the self.

As a licensed therapist I have been practicing for over 20 years. I love my job and I love helping people. I enjoy helping those experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, life transition problems, parenting issues, self-esteem issues, and those recovering from trauma. I am trained in EMDR. If I can serve you, please give me a call today.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or low self esteem? I'm here to help! I am a cognitive behavior therapist with 10 years experience treating adult & teen issues. I am EMDR trained to handle trauma, and I am trained in sports hypnosis. Sports hypnosis allows me to help athletes with performance related anxieties like sports/athletics, test taking, and public speaking. My work in both community mental health and private practice has provided extensive experience in treating adults & teens dealing with anxiety, depression, bullying, low self esteem, trauma, social isolation, and self harm thoughts.

Whether you are dealing with general life challenges or issues specifically related to being a woman, I can help. My goal is to help women become empowered. I believe we can change how we live by changing how we think. We can change our negative self-thoughts and unhealthy behaviors, learn how to express ourselves in an assertive way and set healthy boundaries, overcome trauma and move from surviving to thriving, change how we relate to others and improve our relationships, improve our body image, make healthy choices, learn how to manage/overcome anxiety or depression or anything else that is keeping us from reaching our potential.

Based on research, training, experience and a lifelong mission to help others, I have spent the last 25+ years supporting others, especially trauma and abuse victims, on their healing journeys. I focus on strengths, potential and capacity, while facilitating an individual healing process. Patients often tell me, "I don't like therapy, but I like working with you!" I bring my whole self to the process. Ultimately, it is your time, your life. There are a lot of ways to be healthy and whole. I am here to support you in becoming your version of healthy and whole!

Trusting your therapist is key to healing therapy. Building a strong, trusting, and supportive relationship with clients, creates the foundation for a successful intervention. I have experience with various presenting issues such as: infertility, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, depression, and adolescent issues. I work with couples through Prepare Enrich and Couples Communication. I am also EMDR certified, which helps to provide a trauma based therapy. I am passionate about learning of a client's story and providing the necessary tools, skills, and education to help the client overcome their struggles. I seek to help clients improve their quality of life.

I help people within their environment. I will help you access community resources and supports to help you be able to focus on your emotional health and functioning. I am seeking individuals, children through adulthood who have a desire to improve their lives. The person seeking my services will know that change starts within themselves. I work with the person and the people (family and/or friends) around that person to empower them to make the best choices for their life and situation. Individuals, couples, and families are all treated in my practice. My office is located in the Delano district in Wichita.

Are you confused and don't know where to turn next? Are you overwhelmed and feel like you can't catch a break? Do you feel guilty for saying no to friends and family. Do you get angry, cry or "fall apart" for what seems to be no reason? Let me help you start your journey toward health and healing.

While I walk with you on your journey towards emotional well-being and personal growth, you will learn to love yourself, create appropriate boundaries, and live the life you’ve always wanted.

From a young age I wanted to be a therapist. My goal is to be the therapist that I needed as a child and an adult. Someone who would not only listen but really hear me, would be able to relate to me, offer skills, guidance and support to help me learn how to improve all areas of my life. Let me help you find the skills, knowledge and support you need to improve your relationships, your responses, your understanding to reach success in your life. We will create a treatment plan together to help guide you to reach your goals. Setbacks happen, nobody is perfect. When they do happen, we will work through and figure out ways to modify.

Desperate, don’t know where to go. Thinking about suicide or harming yourself? Maybe it seems like no one will actually hear what you have to say about your pain. Maybe you’re tired of being judged? Todd Hawkins can provide you with a safe place to talk about your wounds, your emptiness, your struggles, your fears, all without judgment. For Todd, understanding where you’re coming from is the most important aspect to therapy.

I believe we each have a calling and unique purpose in life, with specific strengths, gifts, and passions waiting to be pursued to unlock our full potential. Oftentimes, through brokenness and hurt, we can lose sight of our purpose and feel weighed down by the heaviness of life. I am passionate about helping others feel understood and find their way by offering compassion. I have experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the complexities of trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, communication issues, and life transitions, empowering them to emerge more resilient.

Taking the first step to connect with a therapist can seem overwhelming. My priority as a therapist is to help you feel safe and comfortable as we build a therapeutic relationship together. No matter what you may be going through, I am here to help you work through it so you can live a healthy, happy life. My work experience has allowed me the opportunity to work with clients who have experienced familial and interpersonal problems related to parenting issues, mental health, addiction, domestic violence, and trauma. If you find yourself struggling with life, please know you are not alone and things can get better!

I serve a variety of clients: adults, couples, children and their families, and teens

We can all use a little extra help at times. Those who are truly wise make sure to have trusted people in their lives who can help them see new perspectives. Using a strengths-based approach to therapy, I enjoy helping clients reclaim power in their lives and discover a path through their struggles that they may have never noticed before. I am passionate about working with couples, families, and individuals who are experiencing concerns related to depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma, binge-eating, grief & traumatic loss, relationship conflict, parenting, divorce, personality disorders, pain, faith, & aging concerns.

I believe all people were created with dignity and worth for relationships as beautiful masterpieces that are fragmented by both small and large traumas due to the brokenness of our world. My passion is to walk alongside others in their healing, equipping them with the tools they need to address their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual goals in pursuing restoration and wholeness. My Christian faith lays the foundation to offer acceptance, grace, freedom, and confident hope for healing. My approach to therapy utilizes Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and somatic work, and is systemic in focus.
