Therapists in Pottawatomie County, KS

Life circumstances can become overwhelming. We have all had times when we need hope and extra support to get back our leverage on life, or to process those difficult life events and find strength again. Maybe you feel you keep revisiting old patterns and want to understand why and make changes, or you have some decisions to make and need an objective professional ear. I can help you through your journey, and give you the strength needed to guide your decisions. I bring a rich and diverse background, which includes experiences and education of over twenty years in health and human relations.

I collaborate with clients to find insight and tools to build a better future. I meet with clients of all ages, in my office, at schools, and online. I have experience providing therapy to ages 2 through 92, who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.

I am currently only accepting new clients for Assessments (ADHD, learning disabilities, Autism, mood disorders, etc). Do you feel stuck, or at an impasse in your current life? Perhaps the use of a substance or a behavior has become a larger piece of your life than you wanted it to. It could be that anxiety or depression have kept you from achieving what you want, or being who you want to be. Maybe you’ve had a change in your life that’s been difficult to handle. Perhaps your child/teen is having difficulty at home or in school. I have experience working with clients of all ages, and tailor my approach to each individual.

Seeking therapy and embarking on a journey toward healing can feel daunting, especially when faced with the traditional power dynamics of an office setting. That’s why I offer online therapy, allowing you to receive support from the comfort of your own home or any place where you feel most at ease. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone—instead, you can find solace and guidance in your own safe space as we work together. I will hold a space for you where we can build a rapport based on trust and understanding, using various treatment modalities to achieve your goals for a better life.

Hello! I specialize in clinical child psychology with an emphasis in providing therapy to teens, young adults, and their families, as well as offering psychological assessment for children, teens, and adults. Though I am generally eclectic and highly individualized in my approach to therapy, I have been formally trained in the areas of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with additional training in other evidence-based therapies such as DBT and other mindfulness-based approaches. Regarding testing, I have been formally trained for neurodevelopmental assessment (ADHD, ASD, IDD, & Learning).

Do you feel that your thoughts consume your energy? Have you been feeling like no matter what you try somehow those thoughts or feelings still find a way to steal your power? Your power is important and when that power feels dim it can feel dark. There are many different ways this can show up in your life and I acknowledge that shame, guilt, or humiliation has a way to invite itself in. Feeling good takes practice and you don't have to choose to carry all the heaviness alone. It's my passion to be a guiding light in all of my client's journeys and provide a safe space to process their heaviness.

Life often brings us stressors, challenges, and difficulties. Sometimes we don't know which direction to go. Therapy gets you going in a healthy direction, builds your confidence in your life choices, and reminds you to smell the roses along the way. With over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, Becky understands the challenges that many people face everyday. A graduate of Vanderbilt University, she received a masters in clinical psychology from the University of Tulsa. Becky worked for years at community mental health centers and a group private practice, gaining experience treating a variety of clinical issues.

Do you feel overwhelmed by thoughts, emotions, relationships? Does anxiety and depression stop you in your tracks? Does the past seem to always be on your shoulders? Do you have a child who has big emotions and actions that are uncharacteristic? Is the thought of the school year something that gives your child anxiety?

I offer guidance and support through Trauma-informed Counseling and Coaching in the areas of emotional/behavioral, relational, and spiritual. I specialize in Holistic therapeutic interventions and utilize a very unique and individualized approach to empower people toward change. In either individual or group settings I work with individuals to identify areas of their lives that have become problematic. We then work together to design a "package" unique to the person or group that encompasses both internal and external resources to equip them to become positive change agents within their homes, families, and communities.

Sometimes life can be too much to handle by yourself. Seeking help is brave and if you are looking for a caring partner to make important changes in your life, I am here to help. Whether your struggles include anxiety, depression, past trauma, emotional management, grief, substance use, difficulty in relationships or career issues we can find a way to wellness. The most important step in therapy is cultivating a trusting relationship between the therapist and the client. We will start by finding comfort in our sessions. We will seek to find the most effective therapeutic techniques that work for you.

I see each person as a lotus, unfolding gracefully despite life's challenges—much like how it grows beautifully in the mud. We all deal with stress, fears, worries, and tough times that can make life overwhelming or lonely. My goal is to create a safe space where you can learn to navigate these ups and downs and realize that you're not alone on this journey. Growing up in a Vietnamese household in an American society has given me unique insights, inspiring me to become a mental health counselor. I understand the struggle of finding someone relatable to talk to, so I'll focus on creating a trusting and warm relationship between us.

Appointments for teens and adults are via telemedicine. Children, age 4-11, are in person. Are you depressed? Feel unable to get out of bed, paralyzed by fear or overwhelming heaviness? Do you wonder what happened to that happy couple you used to be? Do you have anxious thoughts keeping you awake, or draining your energy? You don't have to solve your problems by yourself. Get help in a safe environment where you can explore your feelings and devise a strategy to turn things around. Change happens when you actually do things differently.

My therapy & counseling are based on the life experiences and the philosophy of Viktor Frankl. His writings describe the kinds of the situation from which he and his fellow prisoners at Auschwitz were able, on a day-to-day basis, to extract the life-sustaining meaning that was essential to their survival. My therapy has three levels: (1) use mindfulness and relaxation methods to calm the emotional brain down, and (2) use cognitive-behavioral to develop a healthy sense of resiliency. In the 3rd stage, you will learn self-distancing techniques to discover meaningfulness at the moment and find better ways to expand your uniqueness.

Are you experiencing the strain and stress of unresolved issues/conflict? It may be a long-standing childhood trauma, a family problem or recent stressor. You may be feeling anxious, depressed, and feel lost in the maze of confusion as days, and weeks go by with no resolve. First sessions can begin immediate steps to slow down the anxiety and ease the pain. Problems can be an opportunity for growth and learning. Start here, each session may help you gain control by placing your issues in new perspective.

Is your young child struggling with big emotions? These can be tantrums that seem impossible to calm, anxiety separating from caregivers, or acting withdrawn and not like themselves? Is your family experiencing big transitions like divorce, moving, or a new sibling? It can be overwhelming and heartbreaking watching our children struggle without being sure how to help them cope.

When children are struggling, this often impacts the entire family. Connecting with parents and caregivers and working directly alongside children through the powerful practice of Play Therapy, we can work towards positive change!

I specialize working with children who have a vast array of issues and diagnoses such as ADHD, anxiety, behavioral problems, autism, socioemotional struggles, etc. I strive to help parents develop techniques to help improve the child's behavior, emotions, and overall functioning. I have 15 years of experience working with diverse populations of children on their abilities to describe, observe, and label emotions in a healthy manner, as well as how to self soothe and self regulate.
