Life can present many challenges. Often times, these challenges may result in feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. There is no shame is seeking treatment. Making the initial decision to begin therapy can feel both daunting and relieving. While having connections with others is a central need for all human beings, this need is often most deeply felt during times of distress.

You overthink and over-plan. You find it difficult to make decisions. Perhaps you feel anxious in social situations or dread doing the activities you once enjoyed. You are striving to keep everything perfect and would rather implode than disappoint someone. Or maybe the opposite - you find yourself getting angry or defensive when others try to help. You are overwhelmed and stressed. You have been struggling for so long that it has become your new normal. You are ready for change or you would not be here. But how do you find a therapist in Kansas City, MO you can fully trust? One that you can connect with? Let me help.

My ideal client is an adult, couple, or family that has experienced loss or trauma and wants to feel connected to themselves, those they love, and their community again. The individual/s may be experiencing extreme anxiety, irritability, or depression and have been trying to keep picking themselves up, but are tired and concerned about what their future holds. They often find themselves using a variety of means to numb such as eating, substance use, gambling, pornography, sex, video games, etc. They experience emptiness and feel that they really have no sense of who they are or what they want and often feel alone and disconnected.

I have experience working with adolescents through the older adult populations on many symptoms/diagnoses. Primarily those I work with have had issues relating to depression, anxiety, and trauma. Everyone has it inside of themselves to manage symptoms relating to these issues in addition to medication (when needed). What I have found helpful is talking to someone with empathy, who is nonjudgmental, and willing to listen, as well as having/providing information that will help the individual through these difficult times.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
