Gottman Method Therapists in 64111

I understand every person’s story and situation is unique and valid. I'm intentional about developing trust and creating a judgment free space. I view counseling as a collaborative process where my primary goal is to meet you at whatever point in your journey you are today. I’m a life-long learner - I stay up to date with the most effective relationship & trauma therapy techniques as a CEU consumer and an adjunct instructor. I teach master’s level couple & family therapy courses. I practice Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which integrates empirical evidence on what makes love last.

Hello, and welcome! I’m glad you’ve found your way to this space. Life is hard sometimes! We can all use a little help. I work to help you feel less overwhelm—and more of the joy and belonging you are searching for. I help you find a way out of distress or feeling stuck, and back to your best self. We’ll figure out the map to your best self together, and then start moving toward an increased sense of joy, strength, calm, and freedom. If that is something you’d like for yourself, contact me for a consultation. It is my honor to accompany so many wonderful people on the journey to wellness!

Are you struggling with feeling isolated and withdrawn? Does life seem to feel overwhelming and too much to handle at times? Well you are not alone. I will partner with you to identify what you want your life to look like. I'll support you with professional tools & interventions needed to get you to the next steps of self-improvement, and healthier living.

Maybe you're feeling stuck. Maybe you are seeking answers but not able to see through the darkness. Maybe peace feels impossible. Maybe you're questioning who you are or going through a life transition. Maybe it's your relationship or parenting or past hurts. This life experience is filled with highs, lows, and in-between moments. At times, we all want someone to join in our journey and walk alongside us so we can feel supported. I am here to meet you where you are in your life right now. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that all of life is relational, whether that is within or outside with family, friends, society.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to show up for yourself and to face the things that may be causing you distress. Whether those things are relationship distress, trauma, change, depression, or anxiety; I am here to help guide you throughout that healing process. I utilize various modalities such as CBT, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, Gottman Couples Counseling (Level 1 & 2), and EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I have experience working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, domestic violence, grief, and dual-diagnosis. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families.

To be a therapist is to be a co-laborer of change. I believe in getting in the trenches with my clients to work on the tough stuff. My greatest joy is watching clients leave my office having their awesome, life changing ah ha moments! Let's face it, sometimes in life we get stuck. Rightfully so, life is hard and sometimes we need help picking up the pieces with no judgment about our past. I believe that when we invite those stuck parts of us in to be learned and understood then, consistent progress is inevitable.

If you are interested in making a change in your life, but don’t know where to begin, I can help you. We can work together to understand what you need and how you can achieve your goals. My areas of expertise include human sexuality and I have helped others in regards to their own childhood sexual abuse, sexual dysfunction in intimate relationships and sexual addiction. I am very interested in working with parents about talking to their own children about healthy sexuality.

Hi, I’m Kelly! As a self-proclaimed Master of Self-Denial by way of comedic timing, I am well rehearsed in the subtle art of avoiding discomfort. I have learned that the only way out from under a pile of shit is to go through it. I never cease to be amazed by the tales of courage I hear out of devastating stories. I look for the power and capability found in perceived weakness, while breathing new life into established strengths. You are brave, beautiful, & worthy!

Sometimes life can be challenging. It can help to have someone listen to your situation and assist in finding solutions and/or tools to get through some of those challenges.

I used to feel good just naturally on my own. Now I notice how I feel and it seems like I worry more, feel more sadness, more difficulty. I don't know what it is going on. I want to feel better, my relationships are less fulfilling; I feel like something needs to be changed. What is it? I am more sensitive too. I want to feel stronger, more confident and certain about myself. If any of these feelings are something you can relate to, you are looking in the right spot to do some self exploration and find some answers. Therapy is for everyone. Whether or not you have a 'diagnosis' it's normal to talk to a therapist about life areas.

Do you ever find yourself saying: “Why did I do that ‘self-sabotage’ thing AGAIN?”or, “Logically I guess I'm okay, but I don't FEEL okay!" I help confused, overwhelmed individuals regain clarity and agency in their lives by exploring and integrating what might be keeping them stuck. Somatic and relational tools are critical to a FELT-sense of wellbeing. Whether you're coping with family dysfunction, narcissistic abuse, or life transitions, you have an ally here. As a therapist, trauma specialist, and speaker, I take on a collaborative, multi-faceted approach that incorporates neuroscience, attachment, and trauma-informed resources.

Hi there, I’m Gabrielle! Managing the demands of life while dealing with private pain and suffering can be really tough. There can be a sense of ‘Where do I even begin?’ I would love the opportunity to begin right where you are. You may find me appropriate if you are seeking emotional resilience, self-acceptance, or harmony in your relationships. I work primarily with adults and couples impacted by life transitions, trauma, grief, or relational conflict.

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.
