We’ve all felt emotionally stuck, such as being depressed over experiences or traumas we had no control over (choice) or being overwhelmed with the thoughts of changing our story. Everyone deserves physical and emotional well-being no matter how uncomfortable the journey may be. So allow me to walk with you or create a space for you to heal, by processing the effects it's had on your life.

The ideal client is everyone as mental wellness is for everyone. Those who seek a radical approach to empowerment in strengthening their ability to develop boundaries, expectations, values, relationships, authenticity, attachment and healing will become closer to the goal of value based living and healing.

I would like to start off by saying it takes courage to take the first step in your healing journey! I specialize in treating trauma, attachment-based issues, and couples. I take a whole-body approach that helps create and maintain lasting change. My ultimate goal for therapy with my clients is to help create corrective emotional experiences so that healing can occur. Whether that’s on an individual basis, or with a couple and the relational cycle. I truly believe it is an honor to walk alongside my clients throughout the healing process!

What does it mean to feel safety and connection? As individuals we strive to have our social, emotional, and physical needs met. We strive to advocate for equity with ourselves, friends, families, and societal systems. The journey towards safety and connection can be overwhelming, tiresome, and different for each person. Have you ever pondered questions like… where do I start? When was a time I felt safety and connection? Do I feel whole? If you have asked yourself or other’s the above question, you might be ready to start to find those answers for yourself.

Do you wonder, sometimes lying on the bed at the mid hour of night, that life could be different: maybe lighter, with a little bit more hope; and your pounding heart can slow down and feel some peace; when you look out, you can smile and sense trust? Is there part of you that want to embark on a journey of healing and growth, to build nourishing relationships with your own self, with others, and with the life at large, to lay the foundation for a life of meaning and joy?

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! I am a therapist with Jordan Psychological Center in Overland Park and am currently accepting new clients with little wait time! Mental health is my greatest passion, and I feel so fortunate to be able to serve the needs of this community.

My name is Caleb Stephens, and I am an Intersectional Clinician. The reality of therapy is that it is inaccessible to most, and the majority of therapists gear their therapy around themselves, and not around the needs of the client, nor the layers of identity that exist. I am not a traditional therapist, as I am also an Activist, and the majority of the work that I do is Identity work. This is about meeting you where you're at, and I'm here for it.

Are you feeling gloomy, stuck or unmotivated? Do you find it difficult to shut your mind off at night due to scattered thoughts? Does the harmony in your love relationship need a reset? Is achieving work-life balance difficult? Are you transitioning out of a relationship and want support? Perhaps you are a survivor of narcissistic abuse by a partner, parent or employer? It's OK to receive support on your healing journey.

In my counseling practice, my clients can expect to take away practical tools and strategies to manage depression, improve mood, and regain control over their lives. You will find a safe space to discuss your struggles, set meaningful goals, and engage in value-driven activities. For those dealing with trauma or PTSD, we will work on healing and developing post-traumatic growth using CBT and narrative therapy. I truly believe that my approach will allow for you to feel understood and supported in a way that will address your unique challenges.

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.

Our past experiences may shape us, but they don't have to define our lives. Sometimes painful memories, emotions, or even our own behavior can feel like a heavy weight we've been carrying for a long time. This weight can hold us back and can make life feel overwhelming. It can lead to problems in our relationships, unwanted thoughts and behaviors, or disconnection from ourselves and the things in life that matter most. It can feel impossible at times to free ourselves of this burden alone. I'm here to offer hope; hope that this weight can be lifted.

I provide confidential, professional therapy for a variety of issues and concerns. From resolving depression or anxiety to healing past trauma, improving relationships to ending addiction; therapy with me is about no longer managing or coping, but instead getting to the source of your issues and discovering what helps you heal. Whether this is your first time considering therapy or you're feeling ready to return, I help people from all walks of life find solutions and feel better.

There is an age-old theory that ‘energy never dies, it’s up to us to determine what we do with the abundance of energy that can be found all around us! My name is Sybil Guliford, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years’ experience working with varying populations as a psychotherapist and in varying capacities in the medical field. My specialty is women’s health, coming-of-age, young adulthood, menopause, and death/dying. I am proficient with other societal issues and with varying mental health-related diagnoses such as anxiety and depression.

Do you have recent trauma or loss? As a certified Brainspotting therapist, we can focus on releasing the painful emotions and reactions to recent trauma or loss that you no longer need dominating your life, if you're ready. These include grief (profound sadness, anger, shame, guilt, numbness and despair) anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and depression. The further back the trauma the more challenging it can be, however I try hard to be supportive and help achieve the change you want. I have worked with all kinds of trauma with compassion. I seek to help you achieve vitality, peace, confidence and wholeness in your body.

My primary practice is the assessment and treatment of children, birth through age 10, with developmental and social-emotional difficulties. I offer clinical assessment for children and individual, client-centered therapy for children and their caregivers. I specialize in treating children with trauma-related conditions, including child maltreatment and attachment or adjustment disorders. This includes work around grief and loss, and those impacted by divorce or separation from caregivers. Additionally, my work with children involves parenting education and support when there are stressors within the family system.

Change is hard, and sometimes we can feel lost. Perhaps you're a teenager trying to figure out who you are while navigating tricky relationships and a mountain of pressure and expectations. Or maybe you're an expecting or new (or even a seasoned) parent, also trying to merge different identities and figuring out what this new life looks like. Each of these life stages brings a rollercoaster of emotions, challenges, and joys.
