In Person Therapists in Prairie Village, KS

Are you feeling lonely and frustrated from an unpredictable and disrespectful relationship? Is your relationship filled with emotionally draining accusations and confusion? Does your loved one swing from being kind to ill-tempered? Do you “sugar-coat” and rationalize their behavior? Difficult and even narcissistic experiences can include gaslighting, dysfunctional and controlling behaviors that cause us to question our sanity. Some interactions of difficult relationships evade all logic. Let me use my TWENTY-FOUR years of experience to counsel and assist you in creating coping tools.

I believe that everyone has the ability to change, to grow, to learn, and to feel better. I know how hard it can be to seek therapy services and I want to help you navigate this step so that you can feel healthier and happier. If you are seeking help with making life changes, learning how to more effectively cope with mental health, relationship struggles, trauma(s), substances, your self worth, managing life adjustments, or letting go of the past I can help you.

People go through hard times but you don't have to do it alone. Times of transition in your life or your loved one's lives can be challenging and can wreak havoc on you, your plans for your life and your family. With years of clinical experience devoted to helping families and individuals during times of change, as well as a slew of personal experience in the same, I am here to help you navigate the rough waters. We can come up with new solutions for you and/or your family. It doesn't have to be so hard!!

I know you parents love your children with everything inside of you and it hurts to see them struggle. Are you and/or your child struggling with life transitions? Or maybe you are struggling to co-parent with your ex spouse. Sometimes teenagers are really struggling and need someone to talk to and navigate the challenges of growing up. Often parents need advice on how to talk to their children. Life brings on challenges and I am here to help!

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.

Trauma sucks! It's had you on an emotional roller coaster for a while, and lately there are more downs than ups. You try your best, but you can't stop spiraling. Your emotions feel so unstable and you feel depressed even when things are fine. Plus there's intense anger, intrusive thoughts, seemingly random anxiety, fallouts with friends and loved ones, and/or a host of chaotic relationships. You want to feel balanced, in control of your emotions. You want to have healthy relationships that bring more joy than stress. You want to enjoy your life instead of just survive it, but you don't know how. That's why you're here.

The decision to begin therapy can be one of the most important steps you can take to improve your quality of life and inspire personal growth; I would like to help you along that journey. I specialize in working with individuals who experience ADHD symptoms, anxiety, are on the Autism spectrum, identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, live alternative lifestyles (kink/cnm), or are adjusting to life changes. If you're motivated to "dig in" & make meaningful change in your life, I'd love to help you accomplish your goals. I aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment for meaningful change where you feel understood & affirmed.

Taking new clients! Do you ever look around yourself and wonder how in the world you got to this point? Everyone has problems, but it's particularly messy from where you stand. Trying to look past the issues doesn't have the same charm anymore. You are apprehensive to ask for help, but too exhausted to navigate it alone anymore. The good news is I help individuals and couples just like you who want things to change. Whether you are wanting to heal relationships, navigating personal trauma, dealing with infidelity, struggling with personal identity, or facing a life transition, therapy is a great place to start.

Everyone has problems. We cannot control the circumstances or people that show up in our lives, but we can decide how we are going to respond to them. Not knowing how you feel, what you think or what you want contributes to confusion, frustration, anxiety and depression. Establishing your own authentic self, as opposed to what others want you to be, can be a difficult task. Developing assertive communication skills and understanding your own emotional boundaries are essential to managing distressing symptoms and situations. I can help you take charge of your life and create the one you want.

I am a licensed child psychologist who uses a cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) to help you and your child make lasting change and build life skills. Therapy is solution-focused and dedicated to helping you and your child learn strategies to work through challenging behaviors and feelings so you feel more confident, less stressed/anxious, and generally happier. Even a few sessions can accomplish this. Don't wait to get help. If you are ready for a change for the better, contact me to schedule a free phone consultation and/or schedule an appointment.

I have experience helping children, teens, and adults find their way through difficult times. Perhaps you have overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, anger, anxiety, or confusion, or are going through major changes in your relationship, work, or school life. Perhaps you feel stuck and simply want to live more authentically. As we explore together, you can feel better, avoid old pitfalls, and work toward your goals. I'm comfortable with people of diverse cultures, sexualities, and ages.

I believe that understanding, accepting, and committing to our values is an integral part of recovery and creating a meaningful life. I aim to provide tools and support to allow individuals to resolve their past and thrive in the present. My professional experience and training focuses on providing advocacy and guidance for adolescents and adults seeking management and relief from PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, phase of life problems, interpersonal relationship issues, and navigating through career and identity development.

It's hard to find a therapist. Especially when you're not feeling your best. I applaud you for getting this far. Now it's time to invest in your relationship with yourself. I know what it’s like to feel alone with your problems. Maybe you have no one to talk to. Or maybe you feel bad making your friends, your family, or your partner listen to your problems again. I know what that feels like, and I’m here. I’m ready to listen. It’s time to let go of anxiety, sadness, frustration, anger, and shame. I want to process these things with you. You don’t have to go through this alone anymore.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit can be a daunting task. I emphasize collaboration, choice, and readiness to change in my practice at Integrated Clinical Services (ICS). I have a versatile therapeutic approach that is strengths-based, empowerment-focused, and person-centered. I strive to work with people in all stages of life, who are facing personal challenges, trauma (current, past, generational), everyday struggles, who want to know more about themselves, or those going through life transitions.

Being a human can be difficult and sometimes we need help along the way to get unstuck. Seeking therapy is a vital first step to healing. In therapy, I will walk with you to aid you in bettering yourself and overcoming your struggles by developing healthy coping skills, challenging unhelpful beliefs about yourself, and accepting you where you are in your journey. I use a non-judgmental, collaborative approach to create a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I seek to understand, accept, and facilitate change using an approach that best fits your needs.
