(I'M ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS) Your world is falling apart and you wonder if anyone cares. Your best efforts are failing and all appears hopeless. Or maybe it's that your relationship has become more toxic and you're asking yourself, "Can this relationship be saved"? Maybe you've been suffering in silence and you're at your wits end. Or perhaps your love for that special someone has blossomed and you're ready take the plunge but you just don't know if it's the right thing to do. A non-judgemental listening ear is what most of us long for especially if life hasn't been so kind to us. No matter what your situation is, don't give up!

I envision therapy much as a road trip-as the client you are in the driver's seat. You determine our destination (goals), our speed, and when we need to stop and review where we've been, the progress we've made, and our strategy going forward. As your therapist, I help to read your maps (identifying core emotional issues, understanding significant life events, and identifying ways you may feel your life is out of balance) and help you to move forward. Together we will work to identify coping mechanisms which no longer are effective and to develop new, effective skills

Hello! I am honored to have you stop by and visit with me. As a therapist, I am committed to each client reaching their full potential. I have worked as a school social worker in the Topeka area for the past few years. My focus as a therapist, are children and teens with unique backgrounds and experiences. If your child or teen finds themselves experiencing anxiety, depression, or other school difficulties I’m here to walk with them through their passage of self-discovery.

My practice is based on a strength's perspective, using a collaborative approach to each session. Using your experiences, discussing tools and new strategies, you will move through your sessions with a sense of growth and change. I will use an eclectic approach to therapy; using solution focused, cognitive behavioral or creative forms of therapy, like journaling. The structure and approach of sessions is determined by your needs. Visit my website for more information.

My passion lies in working with adults, adolescents, and families. My experience has been working on a variety of issues including trauma, mood d/o, anxiety, self-exploration and understanding how our thinking affects our feelings and behavior. I enjoy assisting patients with identifying messages taken from life experiences that drive our choices and behavior in order to give each individual a better understanding of self. It is this understanding that brings awareness of habituated behavior patterns, effective communication skills and balance in our daily lives. Skills that are useful to patients outside of the therapeutic setting.

Steve’s practice focus is working with men and couples. Addressed issues include mood disorders, unhealthy behaviors, histories of abuse and neglect, grief, trauma, and pornography. Steve also works with couples to preserve and strengthen their relationship. Steve and his wife Julie are Certified premarital preparation facilitators. Both are Certified Enneagram Coaches. Julie is a Certified Life Coach who is available to work with Steve in couples work. Julie, who is a former fitness instructor, and Steve utilize a whole person health perspective.

My ideal clients are children and their families. I am passionate about helping children and their families interact and communicate with each other effectively. Feeling loved, listened to, and validated by our family is one of the best feelings. Although I enjoy working with children, I also know that having a strong parental figure(s) is important. Sometimes a single parent or a couple is who needs to be in the therapy room to initiate change in a family system.

Is your marriage and life everything you dreamed it would be? Is your life stagnating? Is there conflict? Are the ways you are trying to make it better, not working, and why do we see things differently? Therapy can help, because sometimes we cannot see options that a trusted other can. I specialize in relationship issues, conflict resolution, the difficult circumstances life presents, and just plain being stuck. We will tend to your relationship as sacred, because it is. My phone consultation is free. Call and let's discuss if I might be helpful. You so have nothing to lose.

I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker & Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, with over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I received my Level I & Level II EMDR trauma treatment training through the EMDR Institute, & have been practicing EMDR since 2012. I am a member of the professional association EMDR Therapists of Greater Kansas City. I am trained in Brainspotting as an additional treatment for trauma-related issues.

Being a human can be difficult and sometimes we need help along the way to get unstuck. Seeking therapy is a vital first step to healing. In therapy, I will walk with you to aid you in bettering yourself and overcoming your struggles by developing healthy coping skills, challenging unhelpful beliefs about yourself, and accepting you where you are in your journey. I use a non-judgmental, collaborative approach to create a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I seek to understand, accept, and facilitate change using an approach that best fits your needs.

I help adults, couples, children, and adolescents transform their lives for the better through individual, couples, and family therapy. You are not alone, and don't have to carry life challenges by yourself. I help clients cultivate greater relationships with partners and children, and better relationships with themselves. I use a warm and engaging integrative approach to assist clients in building upon and optimizing their existing strengths.

I provide clients from all walks of life a safe place to explore their difficulties and process challenges to promote positive changes within self as well as with others in their lives.

I believe that through mindfulness, self-care and wellness we are capable of developing healthy coping strategies to overcome life's challenges–at any age. There is hope. We are not our mistakes. Our ability to self-regulate has roots back to childhood. Through therapy, it is my goal to walk beside you as you explore those roots and make meaningful connections in the pursuit of healing. I have had the opportunity to help individuals involved within the criminal justice system as they transitioned back into the community following incarceration. My experience also includes over six years in the elementary school setting.

Life is hard. Things happen that cause problems in your relationship, stress, ultimately resulting in trauma. You want someone who can help when everything in your daily life is affected, including our thoughts, emotions and resulting behaviors. Also, impacting the way your body feels, and ultimately how you experience YOU and your relationships. You may feel overwhelmed or stuck, unsatisfied in your relationship, anxious, or wondering if things can change or things can get better. There is hope, and we are here. We have many clinicians at all four locations that are experienced and ready to help, including affordable options.
