As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kansas, I enjoy learning and growing with my clients of all ages and backgrounds. C.S Lewis once said, “There are no ordinary people.” I believe there are no ordinary struggles or victories, joy or pain, trauma or coping…It is my goal, as a counselor, to uncover what makes each client unique as they face the ebbs and flows of life. I collaborate with clients to build on strengths, while confronting old thinking that is way too ordinary to support an extraordinary life. For these reasons, I work from a Narrative Therapy perspective.

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.

I know that therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. We all face challenges in life, some endure more than others, but you're not expected to handle it all on your own. I'm passionate about providing a safe environment that is validating, engaging, and focused on positive change to help both children and adults heal through their own unique therapeutic journey. My purpose includes creating a safe and accepting environment for children and families to grow from and to feel inspired by their own capabilities. I earned my graduate degree at Friends University, and I also have extensive training in the practice of Child-Centered Play Therapy.

To be human is to struggle. Your struggle is real to you and it is real to me. There is a profound importance to feeling safe when opening up to what you're struggling with. When we feel safe in opening up we can work towards goals, which can improve overall personal growth. I want to come alongside you and together help you gain insight, skills and strength to make positive changes within your life.

I am a firm believer in the idea that there is no issue too small, and know that the path to growth and healing can be a scary one. In the words of Tiffany Roe, “you gotta feel, deal, heal.” I consider it an honor to walk this path with people and believe that there is hope in all stories. I work with eating disorders, self esteem/body issues, anxiety disorders, and depression. I work with my clients to identify their unique values and integrate their mind and body experience.

I work one-on-one with individuals from childhood through adulthood who need support in all areas of their life such as anxiety, depression, behavioral/emotional management, school-related concerns, relationship issues, life stresses, and adjustments in different stages of life.

I enjoy working with teen and adult individuals from all walks of life, but feel particularly drawn to walking alongside clients on a journey of empowerment and liberation from oppressive and unhealthy relationships and/or systems. I believe that the most healing part of therapy is the co-created space and relationship between clinician and client. My work is trauma-informed, and I practice from a stance of authenticity, acceptance, and warmth. I have a blended approach, regularly drawing from theories such as client-centered, CBT, narrative, attachment and social learning, transactional analysis, and restorative/embodied practices.

Hello there! My name is Melissa (or you can call me Mel!) and in my therapeutic work, I strive to create a safe, empathic, warm, non-judgmental, and genuine environment for all my clients. I take a human-to-human approach that is authentic, real, and personable. I come from a lens of self-compassion, trauma-focused, sex-positive, anti-racist, LGBTQIA + affirming, and systems perspective.

Change is hard. Life not working is harder. A million experiences have brought you to today...the good, the tragic and the unimaginably lovely. Within your experience is potential for success however you define it and no matter your origin, religion/spirituality, sexual orientation, gender, race, IQ, body size, education. People want good in their lives but sometimes get lost along the way. It's part of being human. I understand that and have built my practice around compassionately normalizing human struggle and helping people create better lives using their commitment to change along with their values and strengths.

Life can present us with unexpected and difficult challenges. My mission is to aid you in processing through those challenges, as you evolve into a better version of yourself. Therapy is a journey where you can gain further insight into yourself, your wants/needs and regain control over the narrative of your life.

Life can be difficult at times and it can be hard to deal with our struggles on our own. There is hope and I can help you find peace and happiness I know you deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, open environment where you can process your struggles and be genuinely heard. I believe therapy to be a collaborative process where my clients rewrite the negative thoughts, feelings, and stories they have about themselves and are empowered to create new, positive life experiences.
