ADHD Therapists in Maize, KS

I am a neurodiversity-affirming therapist. Navigating a neurotypical world as a neurodivergent individual has its challenges. Whether it is knowing where and how to obtain a diagnosis or figuring out how to thrive afterward, I would like to offer my support and expertise. I have experience working with children, teens and adults with Autism, ADHD, and disabilities as well as experience helping individuals through grief and loss. I have expertise in supporting neurodivergent individuals of all ages as well as their families. I help identify coping skills for sensory sensitivities and feeling overstimulated.

My areas of specialty include psychological assessment and therapy services for children and adolescents. I complete thorough assessments for ADHD, autism, learning disorders, developmental delays, mood, anxiety, and behavioral disorders. Reports include specific recommendations that emphasize and involve the child's strengths. In addition, I provide therapy for children and adolescents who are experiencing a variety of emotional and behavioral difficulties.

As an LCMFT (Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist), my clinical training enables me to treat a variety of issues such as, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, child behavioral problems, anger, ADHD, trauma, abuse and neglect, adjustment issues, as well as relational issues involving couples, individuals and families. Honoring each person's unique perspective, I seek to help children, adolescents, adults, couples and families work through difficult feelings, enhance their abilities to cope with stress, change destructive patterns, grieve loss of all kinds, adjust to change and find a renewed sense of belonging in life, work and relationships.

With over 25 years of counseling experience, I have developed a passion for working with people who have experienced challenges related to substance abuse, the criminal justice system, the child welfare system, gender identity, and being LGBTQ+. I also love helping people with anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviors, bipolar disorder, ADHD, excessive anger, unresolved trauma, grief, PTSD, and many other mental health needs.

Difficulty, challenges, loss, transition....all these circumstances happen to each one of us and sometimes to the point where the weight is too much to bear alone. In those moments, no one should have to walk unaccompanied. Seeking therapy for the most minor or significant reasons is the very first step in working towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I look forward to meeting you where you are at and helping you get to where you want to be.

I believe so many of us experience times in our lives when we need extra help adjusting to life transitions, facing new challenges or healing hurts from the past. I really enjoy working with both teens and adults. I have extensive experience in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, unhealthy relationships, marital problems, behavior issues, family conflict and more.

Addressing the specific needs or goals of the client is the primary goal in my therapy sessions. Assessment might include focusing on anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, loss, and relationship health including marriage and parenting. Premarital assessment and therapy as well as marriage therapy and enrichment are important aspects of my therapy skill set. My life experiences of long term marriage, parenting, grandparenting and the desire to assist in healthy relationships direct my therapy.

Do you feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world and just need a breath of fresh air? We all have times when we feel as though life is a drain and have trouble finding our purpose and living in true happiness. Sometimes we simply exist instead of discovering the real joy in our journey. Our relationships suffer because we’re not even happy with ourselves. So, how could we possibly be happy with others? How do we reach beyond the trauma in our past, pull through the pain in our present, and reach towards the hope of our future?

I know the nervousness and fear of starting your child in therapy feels so big. That makes complete sense, but just imagine how amazing the relief will feel after the fear melts. I am over-the-top passionate about helping caregivers and kids alike go from a place of stress and survival to inspired and thriving. I use Play Therapy to empower children to become more aware, intentional, and courageous as we unpack their struggles. I also give caregivers the skills they need to be effective and confident in their parenting. I love being both a cheerleader and a compass as families navigate the mess and magic life throws at them.

I am trauma trained with a certification in play and sand tray therapy. Every child has a need to express emotion. I believe children work through events, stories and presenting problems while playing. The playroom is an opportunity for a child to explore, reflect and/or process life experiences. My favorite quote is "When you are free you can play-and when you're playing you become free." Heidi Kaduson

“Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden away and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it’s first brought out into the open.” — Steven Aitchisons.

You’re looking for a therapist—again! You know you need help, but you’re not sure how another ‘talk therapist’ will offer anything new. Talking about your problems is not working. You want your life to become different, in some fundamental way. All the insight and skills you have gained is still not taking you where you need to go. And what’s worse is that you don’t even know what kind of professional has the thing that will help you make the shifts you are looking for. There’s one thing you DO know: that ‘going it alone’ is not working. Also that you are not willing to give up on the possibility that you can have the life you want.
