Therapists in Leawood, KS

As a licensed professional counselor for over 25 years, I provide therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. Also a Registered Play Therapist, Cognitive Behavior Therapist (CBT), and an Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) trained therapist, I am passionate about providing a safe place for people to heal through their unique therapeutic journey. My area of expertise is working with children and adolescents.

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.

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 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 body dysmorphia, negative body image, or a unhealthy relationship with food or exercise? Are you struggling with an eating disorder? I believe recovery is possible and I work alongside my clients to help them heal from their eating disorder. I have 16 years of clinical experience, both in inpatient and outpatient settings. I work with all forms of the illness, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. My goal is to create a safe place for you to explore recovery and for you to gain the tools you need to move forward with purpose.

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."

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.

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.

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.

Therapy is a process which affirms life and growth and a better version of ourselves. To be a therapist grants the privilege of aiding in that process. I am a seasoned therapist with a diverse clientele and very broad and deep clinical experience. I seek to join with clients in ways that are not only effective but which take into account the specific person or relationship,situation and need. I invite you to call if you would like to know more about my practice or schedule an appointment.

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

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

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 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.
