Therapists in Barton County, KS

Seems like the world has gone a little crazy lately, right? Have you been feeling on edge, irritable, anxious, or hopeless? Maybe you worry that you can't be yourself because it might make you a target, or maybe you think that there is more bad than good around here. At times like this, I think it's more important than ever to have someone trustworthy to talk to. I may be biased, but there is a pretty good chance you'll find me to be a listening ear who is judgment and agenda free, who wants nothing more than to see you succeed in your goals.

Hard things happen in all our lives. Some by our own choosing and some very much not. In any of these moments, we often need someone else to guide us through as we rediscover our own strengths. I believe that therapy is a great step no matter how large or small you might consider your reasons for considering therapy. I have a collaborative approach to mental health where I will join you on your journey and together, we can create meaning from your personal story.

Hello! I am always happy to see people taking efforts to receive support with their mental health and here you are! I want to ensure that you receive the best care for y ou. I enjoy working with clients who are open to validation as well as having someone challenge them in a supportive way. My hope is that clients feel that the therapist/client relationship is a collaboration to enhance their life. I hope to connect with clients and encourage them to experience and cope with their emotions safely, in the ups and downs of life. I appreciate open communication and value intentional honesty from both myself and my clients.

Life and relationships can be difficult: therapy gives you a place to be seen, to grow, and to heal. As a therapist, I strive to offer a calm and genuine environment so that you can show up exactly as you are. I believe in a collaborative approach which allows us to work together to achieve your goals and build a relationship that lends itself to emotional expression and vulnerability. In this way we can overcome any and all stresses you are wanting to work through. I have a passion for working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with trauma, anxiety, shame, transitions, and parenting.

I have a passion for healing trauma of all kinds and in helping people build awareness of how their bodies hold that trauma. I have a strong passion for helping people who struggle with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or have a generally tumultuous relationship with food, movement, and their body. Issues that may result from trauma that I treat include eating disorders, depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, and bipolar disorder, to name a few.

My goal as a therapist is to empower my clients so that they may conquer both every day and long term goals. I combine multiple approaches and different activities for each client to create a unique experience for everyone. I push my clients to be their best through therapy and activities designed for outside of therapy. I want everyone to feel safe and encouraged to talk about their mental health concerns, no matter the size of their concern.

Going to therapy takes heart and courage, so finding someone you can trust is most important. Trained extensively in Social Work, Psychoanalysis, Somatic Experiencing and with 25 years in the field, Teresa has integrated these traditional methods with her experiences and studies in Ayurvedic psychology and other holistic healing practices such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga & breathwork. This approach addresses the person as a whole: mind, body, spirit & heart.

You have everything within you that you need to heal and grow. I am an experienced, compassionate therapist here to help you uncover your own strength and wisdom to achieve the life you want. Respect, a nonjudgmental attitude, humor, sincerity and skill are the foundations of my practice. I've had many wonderful experiences that have helped me build practice skills that are effective and lasting. Whatever you might be going through, let's talk about it and see if I might be able to help.

Personally and professionally, I believe that human relationships have the most capacity for damage and most capacity for healing. I practice under the ethos that the best indicator of successful therapy is the relationship built between therapist and client. Our unique relationship serves as a container to this time of your life and the issues that are ready to be seen, felt and metabolized. Within that container, you will be able to experience yourself within a safe relationship and know the felt sense of being connected to yourself while being witnessed by another.

You deserve therapy that actually helps you get your life back on track (for good). Soma Therapy is backed by several success stories, experienced therapists from a diverse background, and positive reviews online.

If you are neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD, OCD, etc.), or gender diverse (transgender, non-binary, gender-queer, etc.), LGBTQIA+, relationship diverse (polyamory, non-monogamus, etc.), people of marginalized communities (non-white, PoC, multicultured, etc.) look no further. I believe in humanity and the human experience, and understand existing in a world that is  not open to diversity and accpetance and how this leads to mental health overload. I will honor your unique culture or experience and provide you with ethical therapeutic treatment that meets your needs and culture.

Any time is the right and most divine time for change. I believe that as a therapist I have the unique opportunity to step into the lives of my clients. This has allowed me to learn and grow with them while they take the next steps in their personal journey. Overall, my goal as a Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist is to support individuals, couples and families with gaining and strengthening the necessary skills to help them live the life that they desire.

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.

Veterans and First Responders: I have been where you are or have been. I have personally experienced the extreme hardships of being a military pilot in combat. I served in combat in Vietnam and Bosnia. My military career as a pilot lasted more than 21 years. I have suffered the trauma, mental anguish, and heartbreak of losing friends and loved ones by my extreme and undisciplined behavior and unknown gut-clenching anger. My journey has given me a unique and empathetic perspective and effective tools to support and diminish the invisible wounds and scars of military service and combat.

I have immediate availability for new clients! Email is the best way to reach me. Taking the first step toward better mental health can often be the most difficult part. Change can be overwhelming, confusing, and scary at times, even more so when we have to go through it alone. My goal is to meet you where you are and walk with you through your therapy experience. No problem is too small to address, everyone deserves to feel heard.
