Adults Therapists in Leawood, KS

My hope is that when you enter my office you feel safe, heard, and seen when you share your story with me. I provide therapy for children 5+, teens, and adults, including families. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, familial/relationship stress, and women's therapy

I specialize in the areas of stress, anxiety, depression, self-worth, irrational and ruminating thoughts, grief, trauma, life transitions, relational distress, communication and intimacy concerns, emotional healing, infidelity, and the challenges and opportunities of blended families.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience. My areas of interest and experience include treating adults experiencing a wide range of concerns such as, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and life stressors (who doesn't have those?). I've had the unique opportunity over the years to work with physicians, professors, attorneys, and other therapists. I tend to work best with clients who are invested in making positive changes, personally and/or professionally, to create a meaningful life.

Life seems to throw unexpected curves that seem to come out of nowhere and leave us feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world around us. Regardless of where you are in life, my goal is to provide a space where you can feel understood, supported, & empowered. While it may be tempting to delay starting therapy, the first steps are easier than you realize. I can help you explore difficult emotions, strengthen relationships with yourself and others, and develop healthy communication skills, boundaries, and coping skills.

Life is hard. Family is hard. Raising kids is hard. You want someone who can help when everything in your daily life is affected, including our thoughts, emotions and resulting behaviors. Also, impacting the way your body feels, and ultimately how you experience YOU and your relationships. You may feel overwhelmed or stuck, unsatisfied in your relationship, anxious, or wondering if things can change or things can get better. There is hope, and we are here. We have many clinicians at all locations that are experienced and ready to help, including affordable options.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, work stress, or relationship conflict? Are you experiencing a transition such as marriage, childrearing, divorce, or job change? Do you feel isolated and unsure of how to move forward? It is difficult to deal with these issues alone and therapy can help. Choosing a therapist is an important decision, and it should be someone with whom you feel comfortable. I view therapy as an interactive process in which we work together to identify problems and find solutions. Therapy can provide you with the skills you need to make real changes in your life.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and out of ideas. Making the decision to talk with a therapist is one that many people put off for some time, but most report improvement of life satisfaction as a result of taking this step. My priorities when working with individuals and couples in therapy are: 1. Fostering trust through authenticity, unconditional positive regard and confidentiality 2. Building a collaborative relationship through listening 3. Utilizing therapy techniques that have been proven to help people achieve more satisfying relationships with themselves and others.

I believe the most important factor to success in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Finding the right fit is essential. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment to address your specific needs. I work with both adults and children, as young as preschool age. I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapy techniques and activities. In order to be successful, one on one therapy is provided at your child’s social, emotional, and developmental level. I actively support and collaborate with parents. I work to develop a relationship with adults to identify their strengths and goals. My goal is for you to feel successful.

I specialize in assisting individual adults, couples or families who are seeking care for anxiety, depression, relational conflict, trauma, grief, and self-identity.

It is a true honor to meet my clients in the therapeutic space. I am reminded each time I meet a new client of the immense bravery and vulnerability it takes to show up for yourself. I believe therapy can help to ground us in the present, while exploring the parts of ourselves that need attention. The therapeutic space can serve as a holding container, while the internal and external work happens. My vision is to offer a safe environment to express your thoughts and emotions while in connection with one another.

Life isn't always what we imagined it would be - especially when we are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or conflict with people we care about. Meaning, peace, and belonging can feel unattainable on our dark days. If you are feeling disconnected from yourself, others, or the life you want to live, therapy could be your first step toward healing. It can help spark your imagination for how you want your life to be and initiate steps toward change. Your relationship with yourself and those you care about can experience a new start and you can begin living fully again.

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.

Do you feel that your thoughts consume your energy? Have you been feeling like no matter what you try somehow those thoughts or feelings still find a way to steal your power? Your power is important and when that power feels dim it can feel dark. There are many different ways this can show up in your life and I acknowledge that shame, guilt, or humiliation has a way to invite itself in. Feeling good takes practice and you don't have to choose to carry all the heaviness alone. It's my passion to be a guiding light in all of my client's journeys and provide a safe space to process their heaviness.

Life gets challenging and sometimes, no matter what you do, you feel stuck with nowhere to turn. You feel isolated and lost. Hope, healing and self-discovery are my passions. I would love to walk beside you on your journey to healing. You lead the way, I will follow, be there to empower you and help you find clarity in the chaos. For the last 7 years, I have been helping children, adults and families sort through pain and trauma in order to make sense of their life story.

I love making therapy a positive experience that leaves clients feeling happy and excited to come back the next week. My practice is focused on therapy with kids, teens, adults, and families. I use play therapy, Theraplay(tm), and Whole Brain Child interventions to reach kids and teens. I enjoy working with adults on determining what career path to take, how to adjust to college/full time employment, mid-life career issues, and stress management/mindfulness skills. Issues from Anxiety, ASD, and Depression often pop up at this time of life. I am here to help them navigate!

Are you feeling lonely and filled with frustration from an unpredictable and disrespectful relationship? Is your relationship filled with emotionally draining accusations and feel like you defend and over-explain yourself too often? Does your loved one swing from being kind to ill-tempered? Do you “sugar-coat” and rationalize their behavior? Narcissistic gaslighting or dysfunctional controlling behaviors cause us to question our sanity. You are not alone! Let me use my TWENTY PLUS years of experience to counsel and assist you in creating a fulfilling and enjoyable life.

Greetings! My name is Dr. Thomas M. Letvinchuck. I am the founder of Ironwoods Behavioral Health here in Leawood, Kansas. I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and maintain a LCMFT license in the State of Kansas. "I believe it is important to establish a good rapport with you; I want you to feel safe, seen, and understood; to achieve symptom relief, solutions, and to get you back on the right track. The types of treatment utilized in my practice will be tailored to your individual needs. Psychotherapy is not just about talking out problems and crisis issues, but about building self-confidence, courage and a belief in oneself."

Do you ever wonder when the anxiety is going to stop? How to connect with your spouse? How to help your struggling teen? Therapy will ease the heaviness you have been carrying. I have worked with teens in a variety of settings for 10 years! I also work with parents, couples, and individuals in adulthood. I provide a safe space to dive into the difficulty you are experiencing, giving you a voice in the pacing and direction of your sessions. I set clear goals for you so that we both know when you are ready to “graduate” from sessions. I want my clients to feel confident as they step out of care. I look forward to hearing from you!

I work with adults in their 30s-70s who is overwhelmed with chronic stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief/loss and/or life disrupting childhood trauma/post-traumatic stress. I also work with individuals and couples who want to resolve problems within their relationships, life transitions, divorce, including cultural identity issues. I work well with men who are in midlife (30s-70s) struggling with anxiety, aging and/or depression. I also work with those who are going through many life changes and identity conflicts. These clients often feel lost, stuck and alone. Their anxiety, negativity and low mood is out of control.
