Therapists in Barton County, KS

Is the transition into parenting harder than you thought it would be? Are you scared your relationship won't survive another kid? Maybe you’ve been in therapy before but it didn’t help as much as you had hoped for. Perhaps you’re overwhelmed by pregnancy/parenting in general & need a therapist who understands this life transition. Hi, I’m Riley! I specialize in working with individuals & couples in the perinatal period–including those who've experienced birth trauma, anxiety/ depression in pregnancy/postpartum, relationship struggles, infertility, loss, abortion, TFMR, surrogacy, foster care & adoption, parenting special needs kids.

Maybe you are in a difficult season and need support, reaching out is the first step. Are you seeking growth for your life? Are you stuck on repeat with habits and behaviors you can't seem to change? Are you experiencing burnout, anxiety, and overwhelm? Transformation and healing are possible!

My therapeutic approach is to work with my Clients to help them develop the skills that will help them throughout their lives. I have worked with a wide range of Clients and their presenting issues and am currently offering therapeutic services for Individuals, Couples, Veterans, Groups and Families. I work with ages 6 and up and enjoy helping my Clients learn new techniques and skills to help them work towards improvement and establishing a better way of life.

The journey toward and through parenthood does not always go as planned. Some people struggle with infertility and face heartbreaking disappointment each month that goes by with yet another negative pregnancy test. Others experience pregnancy or infant loss and grapple with unbearable grief. For others, a new baby brings with it a sense of overwhelming anxiety or depression. Or, perhaps the struggle you are facing is more vast and relates to the heavy load many women find themselves carrying — managing the never-ending to-do list while trying to be the best mom/partner/friend/worker/household manager/etc. that they can possibly be.

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 believe in your story. I believe in the worth and beauty of every human being and from that lens I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families to find meaning and transformation from their suffering. I believe that the foundation of transformation is through compassion, curiosity, and community. My goal is to be a midwife of the beauty your story brings the world. I work with people going through stage of life changes, ADHD, trauma, grief, spiritual issues, anxiety, infertility, depression, and relational conflict. My goal is to come alongside and help integrate these parts of you to bring healing and wholeness.

Parenting is far from easy. You know your teen needs someone to talk to and yet they aren't sharing anything. Or maybe you're seeing your child struggling through a tough transition. You'd love for them to vent to you but all they do is shut down. Therapy is an opportunity to add an additional partner as you support your child.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to. Our lives are or have been subjected to upheaval, stress, trauma, death, illness, and more. We need someone with whom to share our ideas, problems, concerns, and tangled-up emotions. Cindy is a good listener, and has empathy and life experience with many of these issues, and she would love to be there for you during your hard times and life stresses.

Everyone has occasions when they could benefit from outside assistance with a problem they are facing. Whether it's a child coping with school issues, parents' divorce, or the loss of a loved one; a teen experiencing anxiety regarding school, social issues, sports performance, or life-changing decisions; or an adult struggling with parenting, loss, depression, anxiety, or just handling a stressful situation at work. Any circumstance which causes distress in an individual's life may be a reason for making an appointment for services. I believe there is no shame in reaching out for help to make your life happier and healthier!

Life is full of challenges. Sometimes we blaze through them, while other times we get stuck. In a fast-paced culture, I offer a space to slow down and find rest. Are you weary from the constant pressures of everyday life? Are you experiencing grief or loss? Whether it’s moving through life transitions, navigating relationships, or other mental health concerns, I offer a safe and compassionate means of therapy. I seek to understand your context in all its complexity to build person-centered care.

As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe space for my clients. My idea of therapy is to join my clients where they are and walk along with them and help find the path they are searching for. Change in our lives is a process but growth and healing can occur, although it's not always easy.
