Therapists in Mission Hills, KS

Hi! My name is Shannon and welcome you to searching for a therapist to start this journey. Taking this first step is difficult and hope I can help lessen the nerves by bringing authenticity and empathy to each session. I strive to develop a strong relationship with my clients by providing a safe and caring environment as I feel the client/therapist relationship is the foundation for change. Whether or not you are wanting a more directive approach or someone to sit with you during difficult times, I am committed to collaborate with you to find what goals will help you progress towards the outcomes you are hoping for.

From major life changes or loss to struggling with that relentless fear that gets in the way of something you desire in your life. I am here to help you navigate through the confusion and overwhelm to find the answers you need. Together through enhancing awareness, curiosity, patience and self compassion, we will capitalize on your strengths and resources so you can heal and work towards the change you desire for yourself or your child

I focus on trauma initially because what I have found in over 6 years of work as a trauma therapist, is that so much of our present concerns and limitations is rooted in trauma exposure and history. This lends itself to unhealthy patterns of avoidance, hypervigilance/hyperarousal, disturbance in mood and cognitions. and being inundated with intrusions and flashbacks. Many patients that have struggled with years with anxiety and or depressive episodes really have suffered from trauma that has not yet been dealt with. T Fields Trauma Therapy is for you if this describes you!

Life can be challenging, and I am here to walk beside you and your family in this journey. If you are feeling overwhelmed, lost, or experiencing struggles due to trauma to everyday stressors to parenting questions, I am here to help. I have worked with children, families and individuals who present with various needs ranging from struggles with life transitions to trauma. Having witnessed the calm and strength that can come from change, I am dedicated to helping my clients work toward their goals.

My passion is to provide kids and adults with the help they need to navigate through difficult times whether it be related to family, school, mental health or substance use. As a licensed specialist clinical social worker, I have experience in a wide variety of support and counseling services, including assessment, crisis intervention, and individual, family and group therapy in both inpatient and outpatient treatment settings. I have conducted anger management and substance abuse evaluations, and I have facilitated group treatment programs.

I see children ages 4-16 presenting a variety of issues including anxiety, behavior problems, depression, anger management, grief and loss, trauma, adjustment issues, and more.

I have a passion for connecting with others. I considers it an honor and a privilege to walk with my clients on part of their life's journey. I enjoy connecting through various modalities, such as play, art, music or talking. My focus is on my clients and their needs.

I know that therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. We all face challenges in life, some endure more than others, but you're not expected to handle it all on your own. I'm passionate about providing a safe environment that is validating, engaging, and focused on positive change to help both children and adults heal through their own unique therapeutic journey. My purpose includes creating a safe and accepting environment for children and families to grow from and to feel inspired by their own capabilities. I earned my graduate degree at Friends University, and I also have extensive training in the practice of Child-Centered Play Therapy.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a different and fun way to reach children, adolescents, and young adults without the stigma of talk therapy. EAP is an alternative therapeutic approach that addresses mental health concerns and everyday life challenges by teaming up with caring therapists and horses. This type of therapy often reflects clients' verbal and nonverbal strengths and incongruencies while enhancing personal growth and development. This experiential, holistic approach works well with solution-focused therapy (SFT) and other evidence-based treatment modalities, e.g., ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR.

My passion is families, the building block upon which society is built. By healing families, we heal the world. I specialize in couples therapy, which improves not only the couple but the entire family as a result. I specialize in working with teenagers, helping them with depression, social anxiety, and life coaching. I specialize in treating trauma, a taxing burden that no one should have to carry through life, a burden that sadly so often goes untreated.

Hi there! If you're new to therapy or if you're already well-versed in the therapy world, I'd love to be a part of your journey. I work primarily with pre-teens, teens, and adults. My therapeutic style is approachable and warm, and I consider it a privilege to be able to support clients at times of crises, challenge, or just growth in general. If you’re looking to work on trauma, current stressors, develop better coping skills, navigate relationships, or find ways to improve your overall mental health, we might be a good fit!

Life can be messy at times. We can get overwhelmed by everyday events, unexpected surprises-both good and not so good- and the expectations of others around us. In some cases, we're still dealing with the past and can't even begin to solve today's issues.
