Hello! I am Carla W. Voss and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kansas City, MO. I use an eclectic approach when counseling the adolescents and adults, in addition to Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). In addition, I offer parents parental interventions to assist in their parenting their adolescents.

Are you feeling powerless as life continues whirling around? Perhaps you are stuck in an area of your life? Maybe you are struggling to understand yourself or your brain. I understand the desire to feel in control of your emotions, yourself, and your life. My clients are teens and adults who are looking to heal and grow into the best version of themselves. I am committed to creating a strong therapeutic connection with my clients. Allowing you to feel safe and secure while sharing about life's struggles and guiding you through the process of increasing self-awareness, self-compassion, and learning the tools to help you cope.

Healing requires restoring trust in yourself and tapping into your strengths and inner wisdom. At A Balanced Life LLC we believe in each person's innate capacity for, and natural progression towards, healing. Our goal is to help you achieve relief, lasting change, and confidence. Trusting you as the expert, our therapeutic approaches follow your lead. A Balanced Life LLC offers therapy to people of all ages and stages of life, matching you to a therapist who provides effective therapy according to your needs and goals.

I believe compassion and empathy create the foundation for clients to develop greater insight and self-awareness. My approach to therapy is collaborative working to resolve mental and emotion stressors that impede one's ability to achieve their goals. I work with clients to identify maladaptive communication patterns, resolve conflict, transition to a new stage in life or career, and foster each individual’s innate skills, knowledge, and growth.

With 30 years experience in mental health, I have a conviction about the human capacity to grow, develop, and adapt throughout life. I appreciate that each person brings to therapy a unique self: the combination of one's personal characteristics, early family relationships, and life experiences. I practice from a psychodynamic perspective to better understand your current situation in a safe therapeutic environment of curiosity and collaboration.

I work with adults, couples, and older teens with many presenting issues. Clients work on grief and loss, including miscarriage, as well as depression and/or anxiety, and phobias, including driving phobia. I work with people with substance abuse & other addictions including smoking, shoplifting and gambling. I utilize EMDR to desensitize traumatic emotions. My practice is welcoming to clients with suicidal ideation, prior attempts, or family survivors. I help couples learn effective communication skills, explore infidelity, sexual issues, & the viability of their relationship. I welcome fellow therapists and other professionals.

My passion is helping people achieve healthy relationships that honor, strengthen, and validate the people in them. I enjoy helping young men and women to build significant and open relationships on their way through dating and engagement as well as working with them on tools to address the conflict in their marriage. Often times unchecked anxiety leads to depression and I have many effective tools for people who struggle in attending to their anxiety in an effective way. I work with addictions of all kinds in a non shaming, caring, effective, and healing way.

Are you feeling stuck? Trying to figure out your purpose and direction in life? Or are you or your child dealing with depression, anxiety, family conflict, or post-traumatic stress? I stand ready to support you - whatever your needs - and to help you figure out what your next steps might be. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish and have 16 years of experience working with Latino communities. Ofrezco terapia en espanol tambien! Tengo 16 anos sirviendo comunidades latinas.

With a passion for healing and a commitment to your overall well-being, I specialize in helping adults untether themselves from the shadows of childhood trauma and adverse life experiences. Perhaps you find yourself blindly guided by the past, affecting present day behaviors, cognitions, relationships, and ultimately feeling like "something" is preventing you from aligning with your ideal Self. Your journey towards resilience and self-discovery begins here. I'll meet you where you are and together, we'll illuminate the path toward healing and personal empowerment.

I find passion in meeting clients where they are and growing a healthy relationship based in trust. I enjoy supporting clients with parenting issues, perinatal mental health struggles, self-esteem growth, social skills training, those struggling with anxiety and depression and many other life challenges. I use a trauma-informed approach, which integrates Motivational Interviewing, EMDR and CBT to see people as a whole within their systems.

Are you tired of feeling like you’re never good enough or like you’re never doing enough? Do you tend to feel emotions deeply? Or perhaps, you’re an adoptee who never quite feels like you belong. You just want to feel seen and heard and to feel valued for who you are. If this sounds like you, I’m here to let you know that your story and your voice matters. I am Brittany, a compassionate guide for individuals (ages 8+) who seek understanding, acceptance, and self-confidence.

My aim is to help individuals and couples who are experiencing repetitive, entrenched patterns of problems or symptoms. These problems may appear in the realm of mood (emotions), behavior, or be physically lodged (psychosomatic). Disturbances such as these are often found to have their roots in templates formed earlier in life, but exert force upon present-day perceptions, emotions, cognitions, and interpersonal life. My role is to facilitate an in-depth understanding of the understructure of these mental and emotional constellations (usually out of awareness) which uphold and perpetuate the problems and patterns in need of modification or relief.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in personal growth, relationships, emotional wellbeing and spirituality. I enjoy working with a broad spectrum of clients who want to increase their awareness about their emotional, spiritual, and physical health. I enjoy guiding clients through changing habits, attitudes and beliefs and healing emotional obstacles that prevent them from feeling and being their best selves to support life-long well-being.

Do you constantly feel the world moving and changing where you feel like you cannot keep up? Maybe you are experiencing conflict with a child, parent, or spouse and it is negatively impacting your relationship. Sometimes you may have feelings and thoughts you cannot figure out or are fearful of stating them out loud. You may be struggling to communicate effectively. These are all signals that you are ready to take the time to learn new skills to create the life you desire. Working through what influences how we think and feel can be challenging, yet doing so can be life changing and provide us relief from internal struggles.

Hello. Are feeling overwhelmed? Seeking to resolve trauma from recent years or from a challenging childhood? I am able to support you in your healing using EMDR, inner child work and support from a holistic perspective. Past experiences can have a profound effect on your present life and relationships. I understand that to heal, we must address wounds from our pasts, navigate grief, and manifest into the person you would like or were meant to be.

I am a counselor and yoga teacher specializing in mindfulness-based interventions for healing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I began my counseling career with a background of nearly 20 years teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness to groups and individuals. I integrate the tools and techniques of yoga practice and theory with more traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy, DBT, and EMDR, in order to treat people holistically - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Counseling provides an opportunity for people to explore areas of their lives and relationships that may feel dissatisfying, difficult, or even painful. It takes courage for us to look at parts of ourselves and our relationships that are troubling, especially when we're not sure exactly where to begin or what's not feeling quite right. Therapy is a journey, a path toward developing a connection to our own deepest knowing and inner strengths. With increased awareness and internal supports, we feel more hope, strength and freedom to live as fully as possible.

I believe that most people at some time can benefit from talking with a professional about emotional problems that they are encountering, although many persons I see worry that there is something "wrong" with them and feel they should be able to improve their situations thembselves. Difficulties in relationships, problems concerning work or recovering from bad experiences can be painful parts of life and talking about them can hasten change and improvement. As we develop a relationship with one another and reflect about the problems together, over time, I have found that people discover new ways of meeting the challenges that brought them to me.
