Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Arlington, KS

I believe that we each have the power to create lasting changes in our life. It is my belief that we can often learn a great deal from our hardships and go on to live richer and fuller lives because of our experiences. Through my experience as a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor I have been amazed by the strength, perseverance and resilience of my clients. I am here to offer support and understanding, as well as to help you recognize your own unique strengths.

Our lives are made up of moments, both pleasant and unpleasant. The unpleasant moments don't have to overshadow the pleasant ones. My job as a therapist is to assist you in identifying your goals and help you find ways to achieve them, offering support and validation along the way. Life is a journey, not a destination.

Life is about relationships. ICT Therapyworks is a private practice of independent therapists and students offering individual, couple, and family therapy services to promote healthy relationships. This includes intimate, work, family and peer relationships. In addition to exploring your relationship with others, our practice focuses on the connection you have with yourself. We also offer educational trainings and workshops, retreats, groups, and outreach services. We are a diverse team of therapists sensitive to culture, spirituality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and economic status.

I am Emily J. Runyan, a practicing psychotherapist since 2007 and board-certified neurofeedback clinician since 2019. I have a broad background in the field of mental health – having experience in psychological testing and evaluations, individual therapy, and most recently extensive training and continuing education in neurofeedback. I work with children (generally 6 and up), teenagers and adults and continue to offer individual therapy services as well as neurofeedback services to individuals seeking positive change.

I work with people of all ages, trauma survivors, and those with chronic illnesses. I use a client-centered approach and allow my clients, whether children or adults, to lead where they want help. I specialize in Play therapy and Internal Family Systems(IFS).

Do you feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world and just need a breath of fresh air? We all have times when we feel as though life is a drain and have trouble finding our purpose and living in true happiness. Sometimes we simply exist instead of discovering the real joy in our journey. Our relationships suffer because we’re not even happy with ourselves. So, how could we possibly be happy with others? How do we reach beyond the trauma in our past, pull through the pain in our present, and reach towards the hope of our future?

I am trauma trained with a certification in play and sand tray therapy. Every child has a need to express emotion. I believe children work through events, stories and presenting problems. The playroom is an opportunity for a child to explore, reflect and/or process life experiences. My favorite quote is "When you are free you can play-and when you're playing you become free." Heidi Kaduson

I am currently full but feel free to reach out in case of a sudden opening. Life is already hard enough and sometimes we just need some therapy to get through it and that is okay! My approach is warm, honest, and client centered.

We all need a little help from time to time. Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and safe can be a challenge. My goal is to provide a non judgmental environment where you feel valued and understood. I am extremely passionate about empowering others to make positive changes in their lives and would love the opportunity to support you through your journey.

Clients between the ages of 10-23 can expect to build an understanding of any mental health diagnoses or current extenuating circumstances they are living with and how best to build the necessary tools to navigate their life with confidence and acceptance.

I am passionate and dedicated to understanding and helping individuals and couples grow and build resilience. I enjoy working with people from all different walks of life and I am here to support you on your journey toward mental well-being and personal growth. I believe in the power of self-discovery and the transformative potential of therapy. I work with clients aged 6 and up.

My primary clinical area of focus is working with clients who are part of the queer (LGBTQ+) community. As a member of the community myself, I strive to provide affirming, knowledgeable and person-centered care. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults alike and my clients have included those who are gender creative/gender diverse, transgender, non-binary, polyamorous/consensually non monogamous, as well as the HIV+ community.

Stress affects us all in different ways. Short term counseling with cognitive behavior therapy can many times lead to a reduction in problems. I evaluate persons to better identify issues such as children with ADHD, autism, or intellectual disabilities or adults with PTSD and emotional trauma are a focus of evaluation and treatment. I evaluate persons prior to bariatric surgery, for pre-employment and return to work issues, and several court related or forensic issues. The saying 'if you don't test, it's just a guess' is a keystone of my practice.

My areas of interest are working with individuals and families affected by anxiety, depression, blended homes, ADHD and transitions. I work with individuals and families of all ages. Through working together as a team we will help develop the tools that can create change in a person or families life. Each person has unique strengths to build on and together we will identify those strengths and build on those.

Shine is a group therapy practice. We are passionate about walking alongside hurting people as they courageously face life's challenges and heal emotional wounds. Attending to mind, body and spirit are essential to healing, applying the process of holistic approaches in the therapy journey. We believe in people and their ability to maneuver through painful life experiences and come out stronger and more resilient. We desire to provide a non-judgmental environment of grace, hope, and safety, so that the healing process can occur. We enjoy offering support, encouragement and praise for the challenging work of personal growth.

Stigmas surrounding mental illness lead to negative stereotypes and mistaken beliefs that leave us feeling confused, ashamed, or even isolated. Nearly 1 in 5 people experience mental health problems in a given year, yet many find it difficult to reach out and ask for help. Whether struggling with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health issues, a supportive, fresh perspective is often helpful and perhaps, even necessary for getting back on your feet.

Connections Therapy would like to be there to help walk you through life's journey. Therapy should be a safe place where you can work on areas of life that need concentration. Finding support in an environment that is encouraging and helpful can be a life altering experience. Please allow us to help you learn to function in new and improved ways. The journey will begin with an assessment of your current skills. We will work together on how daily life affects your habits and behaviors and empower you to live the life you want.

Congratulations on taking the first step in your therapeutic journey! As a counselor, my goal is to provide you with a safe place to explore aspects of your life that may have you feeling stuck or unable to achieve mental wellbeing. My approach to counseling is humanistic and I practice under a trauma informed wellness model, believing that everyone can improve their wellness regardless of their current situation. I can help you to increase your self-understanding as I walk alongside you on a path that leads to personal growth and ultimately, you living as your authentic self.

I firmly believe everyone has what they need to live a happy and healthy life, and I work passionately with my clients to help them accomplish their therapy goals. Using a variety of therapeutic techniques, I work in conjunction with families, couples, and individuals to help them realize and develop their own unique solutions. Most of all, I strive to create a warm, inviting, safe place for therapy, and I believe in the power of laughter.
