Not the life you wanted? If you have childhood wounds but hoped by now you would feel happier and empowered, I get you. Life still feels difficult. Maybe your heart feels crushed 10 ten times over. Or you're angry and want to yell. You work hard only to find yourself in this frustrating place. Maybe you've tried spirituality, but it didn't help enough. Maybe nature has been comforting, but you still aren't thriving. I can help you heal and thrive through compassionate communication, inner parts work, guided imagery and awareness, and embodied, scientifically researched practices (regulated breathing, EFT tapping, and more).

The people I see want to enjoy their lives and respond with confidence to what's happening in their lives. Enjoying life is a consequence of seeing ourselves and our life as consistent with who and how we want to be. Anxiety and depression are common human experiences that easily distract us from healthy, helpful ways of being. I'm a licensed psychologist in Lawrence and I see individual adults with anxiety, depression, substance use, OCD, and chronic health conditions (including chronic pain). I also see individuals living successful lives who would like to experience a more rewarding life with less stress. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally.

Therapy is about making a personal connection for change. Over 28 years as a family psychologist I've logged some 31,000 hours face-to-face with teens, young adults, couples and families on issues ranging from life adjustment to major psychological disorders. I am a certified sex therapist (AASECT) and Board Certified in Couples and Family Psychology (ABPP). I'm equally comfortable with straight and LGBTQ clients. Please check my website for further details on my training, experience, books and scope of practice.

I am a clinical psychologist with post doctoral training from Stanford/UCSF and the Menninger Clinic. I have been licensed as a psychologist for 23 years and my training prior to being licensed spanned 10 years. As a therapist I offer an increased sense of safety and structure in reflecting on feelings. In this environment one relaxes and new perspectives emerge -as well as an increased ability to trust and find solutions within one's self. I am both a patient listener as well as an active and engaged clinician who offers personal insights and feedback.

If you need relief from depression or anxiety, assistance in handling life's challenges, acceptance and support, or just a place to cultivate hope, I believe I can help. Life has its ups and downs, and everyone experiences difficult days. Sometimes things become overwhelming, and that is when seeking therapy may be the best choice. I have seen the power of therapy in promoting healing and building resilience. I value authenticity, which I bring to my practice, along with a caring, connected, and collaborative approach to helping you reach your goals.

Do you go to work each day with a knot of anxiety or dread in the pit of your stomach? Is your work stress affecting your confidence and spilling over into your personal life? Or maybe there are worries or emotional pain in your personal life that are also affecting your relationships or your work. Either way, I can help. We'll seek to better understand what's keeping you stuck, learn new strategies and identify your strengths to help you heal, overcome challenges and restore your confidence and well-being.

My name is Caleb Stephens, and I am an Intersectional Clinician. The reality of therapy is that it is inaccessible to most, and the majority of therapists gear their therapy around themselves, and not around the needs of the client, nor the layers of identity that exist. I am not a traditional therapist, as I am also an Activist, and the majority of the work that I do is Identity work. This is about meeting you where you're at, and I'm here for it.

Are you ready to make changes in your life? I am committed to helping individuals, couples and teens achieve a better life. I have more than a decade of experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationships. Trust me to help you reach the goals you have set for yourself.

Do you feel stuck? Unable to make decisions due to feeling overwhelmed? I get it. I too have felt this way. I know that sinking feeling of learning you have a chronic illness and will daily feel the pain, fatigue, and fear of "what's next?" Even worse, feeling that you have lost who you are and who you thought you always would be. It's enough to make even the strongest person feel like giving up. BUT...as someone who has personally fought this battle, I promise you that life can get better, in fact it can be great!

I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds on various issues. My approach involves learning/improving coping skills to improve quality of life. Together we can work to identify goals and develop a treatment plan to guide our work.

“We are all just walking each other home.” I believe that together, change can be made. Life presents us with challenges and it is our mission to learn and grow from those challenges. As a clinician, it is my passion to support you through this process. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in the state of Kansas with a background in animal assisted social work, and crisis intervention. I work primarily with children, and adolescents with complex family dynamics.

Defiance, mood swings, ADHD, behavior problems, family conflict, school issues, depression: as a parent, all can leave you feeling hopeless, helpless or stuck. Whether you're seeking help for yourself, your child or your loved ones, we will find the path to progress together. Therapy is a process of identifying and initiating small shifts in thought, feelings and behavior that lead to healthier patterns of living with ourselves and others. I work with individuals and families to identify problems and find possibilities to improve your quality of life, relationships, and functioning.

At times we all struggle with feeling overwhelmed, down, or confused. Like physical health, our mental health is an important part of our over all well-being. When we are out of balance everything feels harder. I am a firm believer in the dignity and worth of all individuals. I also believe that the understanding of oppression is an important part of therapy and recovery is a social justice issue. I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor. I have been in the field for over 16 years. I am highly trained in grief, gender & sexual identity, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and DBT.

Change can be difficult, whether it's a change you choose or not. Therapy provides support as you adapt to life's countless changes. As a clinical social worker, I have spent time working alongside of teens, young adults, and adults as they work through issues varying from typical developmental struggles to having to adjust following major life traumas. I am grounded in a strengths-based approach, and incorporate Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to address issues surrounding anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, eating disorders, grief and loss, sexuality, and anger.
