Biofeedback Therapists in Lenexa, KS

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Infant Massage Instructor. I have enjoyed serving individuals and families from all walks of life, in the Kansas City area and beyond, since 2006. I believe in the strength and adaptability of the human heart and I understand that building a trusting therapeutic alliance often leads to healing and a positive outlook in other facets of life.

I create an environment for my clients where they feel safe, encouraged and gain confidence to create the changes they want to make in their life. I ensure confidentiality and work with them to identify what isn't working for them and the steps to take to create a future where they feel empowered and happy. Seeking counseling isn't always easy, so I provide a place of comfort and trust so my clients feel at ease. I have over 25 years experience in community mental health and private practice. As a Deepak Chopra certified meditation instructor, I provide courses in Primordial Sound Meditation. Look under group section for more info.

Make the most of it -- whatever your "it" is! I work with clients of all ages, couples, and families to help them get the most from life. Life experience counts and I've got it. I bring to my practice years of practical and pragmatic "life stuff;" real world, frontline experience dealing with the joys and difficulties that are part of it. I am warm, accepting, and (of course) non-judgmental with a fervent desire to create a safe space and place for you to come as you are and know you'll be held and cared for.

Are you feeling emotionally overwhelmed? Are you looking for more fulfillment in your day-to-day? Are you ready to make some changes in order to improve your quality of life? You deserve to be the happy and productive individual you desire to be.

If you have ever dealt with anxiety, panic attacks, or fears of letting others down you have been fighting a battle that you don't need to continue to fight. We help individuals control their anxiety by teaching them techniques and tools that will allow them to regain control over their emotions. These are the same skills that professional athletes use to deal with the anxiety and the enormous amounts of pressure they deal with on a daily basis.

Many come to me for support in their sport or their lives, working through an obstacle getting in the way of their success - whether that is an injury, a lack of confidence, difficulty focusing, or more general mental health issues like depression and anxiety, affecting their ability to fully engage in what they love. Others may be retired from their sport or perhaps just really value exercise as a major component of their identity and want to connect with someone who gets that. My clients love to set goals and put in the work. Where ever you're at, you know you want to improve and you're willing to do what it takes to get there.

You and those you love live in scary and uncertain times. You likely find yourself in a world you barely recognize, having to get by with more needs on fewer resources. We have all began to see the results of living under constant fight-or-flight stress while an entire world struggles to get by without needed coping skills, adequate financial resources, or knowing where to turn for guidance.

Food was my best friend and my worst enemy. I would constantly anticipate the pleasure of eating something and simultaneously fight every impulse to "give in". If you are caught up in a war with food and your body, I get it. It probably feels like you're all alone in it, a warrior fighting a hidden battle that no one else can see, and you're desperate to win. I've been on the battle field too, and I found my way out. As a health coach and counselor, I have 15 years of experience working with women who struggle with emotional eating, binging, and over-eating.

I love to help people begin again to get healthy, well and strong. Whether they are coming through a physical or mental illness, divorce, grief or other life transition, being knocked down in any way, requires support to get back up and start again. I am support.

My therapy & counseling are based on the life experiences and the philosophy of Viktor Frankl. His writings describe the kinds of the situation from which he and his fellow prisoners at Auschwitz were able, on a day-to-day basis, to extract the life-sustaining meaning that was essential to their survival. My therapy has three levels: (1) use mindfulness and relaxation methods to calm the emotional brain down, and (2) use cognitive-behavioral to develop a healthy sense of resiliency. In the 3rd stage, you will learn self-distancing techniques to discover meaningfulness at the moment and find better ways to expand your uniqueness.

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.

My approach to mental health counseling and high performance psychology does not focus simply on symptom reduction (i.e., removing difficulty), but rather aspires to honor what is good and right about you, and what makes each day worth living according to your beliefs, identities, values, and enriching relationships. My aim is to provide a space that invites exploration of challenging yet vital places of growth in the service of what is most important to you in your life. In particular, I have passions supporting people's resilience to shame, perfectionism, and anxiety.

Searching for the right therapist can be daunting. The prospect of starting therapy can be scary. It can be especially frustrating to try many different things to feel better, yet never finding a sense of long- term relief. Sometimes we all need extra support to start this healing journey– I know this from a deeply personal level. I have found that lasting change must involve our whole self- body, mind, and spirit. I use mindfulness skills to help bring awareness to how thoughts, feelings and sensations impact our nervous system and sense of well-being and to help you heal those places where you feel stuck and depleted.
