Jewish Therapists in Johnson County, KS

Are you in a season of change? Perhaps you're graduating, getting married, experiencing parenthood for the first time or grieving a loss? Does it feel like you're going through the motions and struggling to live wholeheartedly in the present? Therapy provides a container for sacred pause, reflection and exploration of your unique essence. We will pull from strengths-centered modalities, including Internal Family Systems and Enneagram, to support your meaning making and return to self journey. Therapy is your ritual for self enrichment.

You wish your relationship and life felt more connected, authentic, and whole. You desire to show up as your best self, but find that it’s so much harder than it should be. You tell yourself that you should forgive, move on, commit; and that you should have changed already! You feel bogged down by anxiety and fear, wondering if things can really change. You hope to find deep connection and healing, and hope that therapy is the next step on your path. Let’s walk together toward the life you desire!

Are you feeling powerless as life continues whirling around? Perhaps you are stuck in an area of your life? Maybe you are struggling to understand yourself or your brain. I understand the desire to feel in control of your emotions, yourself, and your life. My clients are teens and adults who are looking to heal and grow into the best version of themselves. I am committed to creating a strong therapeutic connection with my clients. Allowing you to feel safe and secure while sharing about life's struggles and guiding you through the process of increasing self-awareness, self-compassion, and learning the tools to help you cope.

During hard times, we can lose our sense of self and struggle to get it back. We are all complex multifaceted people with many different parts of us, which can often cause symptoms that get in the way of relationships, productivity, or cause feelings of depression, anxiety and hopelessness. Together, let's work to recover your sense of well-being and then build a life where you are thriving beyond your struggles. I utilize IFS as a primary modality as well as take an eclectic approach, meaning I use a variety of techniques based on what your situation calls for, at the time you need it the most.

Robert A. Feuer, MA, LCP, (Bob) is a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst with 37 years of clinical experience helping people change and grow to improve their lives and relationships. I am past-President of the Greater Kansas City-Topeka Psychoanalytic Center where I also serve on the Psychoanalytic Institute teaching faculty. I create a warm, safe, and therapeutic environment for adults and adolescents struggling with mood, anxiety, trauma, adjustment, and relationship issues. I provide briefer therapy as well as psychoanalysis-a deeper, longer-term, more intensive treatment for more lasting and fundamental change.

Hello! I'm Vanessa, co-owner of Secure Counseling Clinics. I've lived in KC for 20 years with my husband, 4 children, 3 dogs, 2 cats, 1 bearded dragon, and a flock of backyard chickens! I'm a Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in both MO and KS, Nationally Certified Counselor, Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and KS board-approved clinical supervisor. My heart work is helping humans with complex trauma. Couples, as well as parents and their children, work with me to form secure attachments with each other. I help clients experiencing relationship difficulties and those who experience pain from circumstances or losses.

I have a passion for learning, growing, and adapting through difficult times. I aim to challenge my clients and push you just enough outside your comfort zone to elicit growth and sustainable change. My client population ranges from teens into late adulthood and focuses on chronic stress, depression, grief and loss, acute and complex trauma, and life transitions. Most of my clients are experiencing relationship issues and transitions, career struggles, or just general overwhelm juggling all the things that life throws at us.

Money is a leading cause of emotional pain and family conflict. From income discrepancies between partners to intractable sibling conflict, finances are often a point of contention. Money is also the leading cause of stress in the US, and it takes courage to address it because it usually triggers underlying issues. In a changing cultural environment, managing these issues can seem overwhelming and isolating, particularly for men. As a licensed psychotherapist shaped by an extensive career in finance, I offer a unique set of skills to help clients change unhealthy patterns from money and family life —and bring relief to the table.
