Divorce Therapists in 66208

I meet each individual where they are in their process of healing, identify and build on strengths, and work together to meet their goals. If you are looking for someone who is caring and compassionate and laid back I am who you are looking for. I have a wide background of experience to draw from and provide support and growth. I enjoy working with teens and people looking for a new life transition such as divorce or workplace burnout. I really enjoy working with parents dealing with the anxiety and exhaustion of perfection parenting and how to let go of that "mom guilt."

I have extensive experience and training in family therapy. I manage issues with teens (12 and up) and blended families. I am also very experienced in dealing with a variety of mental health issues (Including issues on the Spectrum and ADHD), and issues concerning school academics. I treat substance abuse issues among teens and adults. I also utilize a variety of techniques to help married couples and those couples dealing with divorce and sexual issues. As a former College athlete, I can help those experiencing anxiety and pressures in a variety of sports.

With over twenty years of experience, I offer compassionate care in treating problems that have been resistant to change. Through depth psychology, I help clients address issues such as loss, alienation, lack of intimacy, insecurity, feelings of emptiness, and the scars of prior traumatic experiences, all of which often lead to depression and anxiety. My expertise includes individual short- and long- term psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and couples counseling for adults of all ages.

A Nationally-Certified Psychoanalyst, I have been in the private practice of individual and group psychotherapy, couples therapy and psychoanalysis for the past 12 years. I have worked with a wide range of issues and have successfully treated a wide range of problems. These include (to name a few) depression, anxiety, eating disorders,problems of life, couples and group therapy, recovering from divorce or separation, substance abuse, sexual abuse, and sexual dysfunction. In addition to my clinical work, I am also a Professor, and serve as Secretary of the local division (39) of the American Psychological Association (KCAPP).

We're all faced with challenges, big and small. Sometimes these grow to overpower and overwhelm us. The adults, children, and families I work with say that I help them feel heard, valued, comfortable, and that I provide a safe place to explore options and pick the right solutions.

Change is an inevitable part of life. Transitions are as natural as night and day. In nature we observe times when things move slowly without visable change - and then suddenly acceleration occurs followed by a transformation. I am a therapist/professional counselor who works with individuals ranging from childhood through late adulthood, couples, and families to assist them in finding personal growth, and work confidently through the natural transitions life brings. I recognize each client as unique and direct my counseling to the whole person; which attends to the body, mind, and spirit of each.

Starting individual counseling or couples counseling can be intimidating. I know it’s uncomfortable to open yourself up to someone and really take a look at the painful stories you carry around. Finding yourself can be a daunting task. What’s more uncomfortable is carrying around pain and other stressors. I am well versed in combating these powerful narratives and I am not afraid of authenticity. I believe that most stories are laced with grief such as divorce, loss or just simply losing yourself. Having experienced layers of grief in my own life, I am ready and willing to join you as you explore by doing the work in therapy.

Congratulations! Take the opportunity to discover results which improve your life. You have found a flexible and down to earth therapist willing to work towards your goals.Sometimes you need 1 session or several sessions to reboot, re-energize and get back on track. I personally understand the many facets and stressor's which make life more difficult but nothing is unmanageable. For additional convenience, I offer HIPPA compliant Teletherapy services via internet access.

Feeling stuck, anxious or just plain confused? You're not alone. Maybe you've asked friends and family for advice, or read all sorts of books for help. You might also be hungry for growth or healing. Therapy can be an important part of your answers. Here, you can see the bigger picture and gain clarity into your unique circumstances, challenges and relationships.

Most of my patients describe sessions with me as "effective." Yes, I'll sit and listen, empathize, and you'll know I genuinely care about you and your life. But you'll also probably hear things from me that others may not be willing to tell you. Why? Because I want to see you live the life you are capable of and unlocking many of those interactions helps with that process! I generally use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. They are both great types of therapy that focus on behavioral strategies for change after examination of your thinking.

My approach is to first listen, and then help clients find solutions that can work for them. I've been working with adults, teens, children, families and couples for over 25 years as a private-practice psychologist and a consultant for area school districts. I am currently only offering telehealth appointments.

I have openings for new clients! I work with people who want to learn how to feel peace and calm in their mind and body while working through the pain from the past and the limiting beliefs in the present. Whether you are seeking weekly one-on-one therapy, or are seeking an intensive therapy program (one week commitment), my goal is to support your healing. As someone who often works with those who have been impacted by addiction, I think we're all trying to live life in recovery from the past hurts and present struggles.

You want to improve your relationship without spending months in therapy. You want to make significant changes with a therapist to whom you feel a connection. You wish you could be content, happy, engaged, and connected with your partner like you used to be. Perhaps porn or infidelity has devastated your relationship. Or, you feel unhappy, disconnected, stuck, and hopeless in other ways. Maybe you're experiencing conflict resolution difficulty, intimacy and sexuality issues, parenting disagreements, or financial conflicts. Gottman Therapy is the gold standard of couples therapy for a reseached-based reason.

My blended background in Psychology and Education has enhanced my passion & desire to help children, adolescents, adults & families achieve healthy functioning in all areas of their lives. I believe the promotion of child wellness & growth is built upon the foundation of familial support and the development of a strong sense of self. My therapeutic style focuses on identifying patterns of behavior, helping to establish and develop supportive relationships, reducing symptoms of anxiety/distress & promoting healthy self-esteem. I develop interventions to meet the specific needs and goals of each client and family.

I am a somatic and relationship therapist, and provide both individual and couples therapy. For adults and adolescents dealing with various types of trauma from developmental to acute, I use Somatic Experiencing as well as IFS (internal family systems) to help you heal the intensity of your experience of past events that may be keeping you feeling overwhelmed and settle your nervous system in the here and now. For couples I use Gottman Couples Therapy to help you improve communication, and work through things from infidelity to parenting to navigating relationship changes. I also provide sex therapy to individuals and couples.

If you have ever struggled with feelings of anxiety, shame, or people-pleasing, you are not alone. If you are wanting to enrich your relationships with yourself and others and are getting stuck, you are not alone. These difficulties can be so hard to carry through life, and you deserve a place to rest. My therapy room is a safe space to explore your hopes and goals and also to identify what is getting in the way. Together, we will discover and connect with your most true self to get back to living the life you want to live.

Life can often feel painful, overwhelming and lonely. If you are feeling emotionally disconnected from your spouse or partner, struggling with feelings of sadness and anxiety, or suffering from past wounds, I am committed to helping you find balance and restoration. I am experienced in working with individuals, couples and families in all stages of life to foster individual healing, repair and strengthen relationships, and help shed the effects of abuse, loss, and other traumas. My goal is to cultivate a safe and supportive environment for you to process and grow, enabling you to live life with fullness and meaning.

Do you find yourself stuck in a pattern of self criticism and doubt? Do you want to go from people-pleasing to authentic? Overly critical to accepting? My clients describe themselves as "perfectionists" and "people pleasers" that have high expectations of themselves. I work with anxious clients to help them learn the skills needed to create a fulfilling and balanced life. I specialize and love working with people who aren't feeling connected with themselves and in their relationships. People who have been taught to strive for a "perfect" life, but find themselves anxious, irritable, and overall unfulfilled.
