Brainspotting Therapists in Coffey County, KS

Often times, I’ve noticed that people seeking therapy already intuitively know what they want, or even what their potential solutions may be – before stepping foot inside my office. What they may lack is the support towards making those desires a reality. That’s why my therapeutic approach is collaborative and centered around strengthening your voice and choice in your life. I won’t stand in front of you to pull you in this direction, or behind you, to push you in another; but rather you can find me walking beside you serving as your rock and partner in healing.

I have 20+ years experience supporting gifted and high ability adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges and trauma. Many high-ability clients (including gifted) desire to learn how to better navigate strong emotional intensities, perfectionism, a sense of aloneness and other existential challenges.

I am EMDR-certified, utilize Brainspotting techniques, and have an advanced certificate in Logotherapy.

Hi, my name is Julie. I have worked with individuals and couples seeking to cope with a variety of challenges. Areas that I specialize in are anxiety disorders, trauma, and new transitions. I am trained in phase 1 & 2 of Brainspotting and in EMDR. These techniques help us process into the subcortical levels of our brain to experience deeper and longer lasting healing. I am available to provide a Christian counseling perspective, but I love working with clients from any walk of life. Therapy is not always easy, but I would be honored to help you on your journey in Learning to Thrive.

Do you have recent trauma or loss? As a certified Brainspotting therapist, we can focus on releasing the painful emotions and reactions to recent trauma or loss that you no longer need dominating your life, if you're ready. These include grief (profound sadness, anger, shame, guilt, numbness and despair) anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and depression. The further back the trauma the more challenging it can be, however I try hard to be supportive and help achieve the change you want. I have worked with all kinds of trauma with compassion. I seek to help you achieve vitality, peace, confidence and wholeness in your body.

Are you struggling to feel like yourself? "Coping" but with lots of effort, distraction, or numbing? Feeling anxious, angry, overwhelmed? Thinking "What's wrong with me?!" As it turns out, you're not crazy or broken: Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors make sense as responses to your unique life experiences. With me you will learn a new language to talk about what's happening inside, and to see it as a result of what you've been through vs a character flaw. When "broken" is no longer your identity, your symptoms have less power, and space opens up for your authentic, grounded, compassionate, and boundaried self to emerge.

I support & guide clients who are ready for change & are prepared to do the work in therapy. This means if you are coming to see me for anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions or feeling stuck with your current situation that when you come into work with me, you are ready to take action to align your intentions/healing goals with tangible actions & working with your thoughts. In sessions I will challenge you, validate you, push you towards your authentic self & assist you in finding out what your true needs & wants are to move forward into embodying yourself in ways that allow you to create the life of your choice.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or know you're engaging in unhealthy behaviors but don't know what else to do. You're seeking counseling because you've exhausted your efforts & you need help to feel some relief. Maybe you've experienced a loss or a traumatic event, are using substances to cope, are overwhelmed with stress or are just unsatisfied with life. It doesn't have to be this hard & I can help. I would be honored to be a part of your healing process. I'll meet you where you are at to help you navigate change and feel better!

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 28 years of experience working with children, adults and families to enhance relationships and personal well-being. I enjoy working with youth and adults and use a client-centered approach to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral issues. I also like to work with parents who may be struggling with their children's behavior. The relationships we have with our own parents whether we are adults or kids has a great impact on how we see and interact with the world; understanding these relationships can go a long way in understanding ourselves.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who just need a little "tune up", need long term assistance, or something in between.

I use evidence based practices tailored to you to help work through your needs. I have a conversational style and like to develop goals together to enhance our work outside of sessions.
