Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in 65203

The road we travel towards living as our truest self is by no means smooth. Often, we have learned messages that get in the way of living authentically, whether it be messages from society, family, peers, strangers, or even ourselves. We may feel lost and uncertain of finding a way forward. We will work together to find ways that you can feel empowered to break free from these messages to live openly and authentically. I love working with many different concerns including healing from traumatic experiences, being present with our emotions, creating positive self-narratives, and providing affirming LGBTQ+ care.

I offer compassionate, effective professional counseling that is goal oriented, and solution focused, using well-established, evidence-supported practices to help you move toward your goals on your unique journey. I have 16 years of experience as a mental health and substance abuse therapist. My interventions are adjusted to meet the needs and goals of the individual. My clients have reported tangible results.

I specialize in treating adults with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and related issues using a combination of evidence-based modalities like EMDR, IFS, and DBT. My goal is to provide you with the tools and resources needed to navigate life's challenges with greater ease, compassion, acceptance, and a renewed sense of self. Together, we will create a safe and supportive environment to explore the effects of past experiences on your mental health and address the underlying causes of symptoms rather than just treating the symptoms themselves. This approach allows for deeper healing and lasting change, leading to a more fulfilling life.

Hi! I’m Helen and I work primarily with women feeling overwhelmed by experiences that have left them frozen and numb, running away from goodness, or fighting against self-destructive thoughts and behaviors. Holding space for your pain and burdens, I am a compassionate listener and tailor the use of interventions and techniques to your specific needs. As a Christian, I often integrate the hope and healing of a gospel-centered approach with therapy. Wherever you may be in your own personal journey - I am ready to meet you there.

Healing can often be an intimidating process, but I am here to walk alongside you in this journey as we go into the messier, more complicated parts of life in a nonjudgemental way and safe space.

Hi, I'm Cheryl. In the counseling journey, I hope to come alongside you as you wrestle with the inherent difficulties and struggles associated with life.

Hi! My name is Aimee (she/her/hers) and I am happy you’re here. In the words of Carl Rogers, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Acceptance is an essential component of change. I will accept you just as you are and help you learn to fully accept yourself. Together, through a mindfulness approach, we will begin to work towards the life you desire. We will explore your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations to gain self-awareness. I will assist in helping you track and modify behaviors that you have the desire to change.

Maybe you've "been there, done that." Tried that program or seen that counselor or taken that medication. Nothing seems to be working. Once-per-week therapy doesn't seem like enough to get you over the hump, yet, spending 30 days away from home isn't an option, either. It's a good thing we believe there's no right way to do treatment for mental health issues including depression and anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, compulsive behaviors, disordered eating/eating disorders, the list goes on and on. Plus, the "problem" is never the actual problem, right?

Choosing to live authentically is an act of courage. Life offers many opportunities to hide our true selves, sometimes even from oneself, often resulting in living far below our capacity. Taking steps to heal, recover, survive, or take life to the next level can be challenging on our own. We’ll work together to understand what you want in your life, what’s getting in the way, and how you can create opportunities to have more of what you want, empowering you to live courageously and authentically. I love working with many different concerns including anxiety, depression, sexuality, gender, parenting, and more.

I primarily focus my work on helping clients navigate and work through depression, anxiety, trauma, intrapersonal and interpersonal issues.

I welcome you to contact me by phone or email to set up a free consult session to see if we would be a good fit to work together.

I have experience with all of these things and know that there is a path out of that place and into peace and happiness. I can show you this path.
