"Kansas City Mental Health Associates (KCMHA) offers trauma-informed treatment without the waitlist. If you or a loved one has experienced trauma, you understand how traumatic events can shatter a person's sense of safety, ability to trust others, self-esteem, close relationships, and/or spiritual identity. Trauma survivors often feel like they'll never be the same, that life will never be good again, or that they don't deserve peace of mind.
