Teletherapy for Kansas

Do you find yourself stuck in a pattern of self criticism and doubt? Do you want to go from people-pleasing to authentic? Overly critical to accepting? My clients describe themselves as "perfectionists" and "people pleasers" that have high expectations of themselves. I work with anxious clients to help them learn the skills needed to create a fulfilling and balanced life. I specialize and love working with people who aren't feeling connected with themselves and in their relationships. People who have been taught to strive for a "perfect" life, but find themselves anxious, irritable, and overall unfulfilled.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, personality and mood disorders, marital difficulties, and grief and loss issues. I am invested in working with clients interested in learning skills to manage issues presented and invested in cultivating change in behaviors.

“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are." Sometimes we lose ourselves along the way for whatever reason, be it trauma, loss, depression, anxiety or any number of human experiences. And guess what? It’s okay! You are not alone! When we are disconnected with ourselves, our thoughts lead us to believe we are not good enough or worthy of connection. But you are. It is so brave to want to grow, heal, and rediscover yourself. True healing comes from connection with others and authenticity to the self. I am here to meet you where you are!

It takes bravery to start the journey from struggle and pain toward insight, wisdom, and healing. I am committed to assisting you in making gift to yourself and your community. We hear a lot about post-traumatic stress, but it's also very important to invite post-traumatic growth. If the hard knocks of life stay unaddressed - words unspoken, questions unasked, feelings unnamed and unexpressed - we lose our vitality and become limited to negative patterns. A therapeutic alliance can transform and liberate.

As a therapist, I am here to walk with you into the unknown, to listen to your experiences, life changes, tragedies and joys; endeavoring to view life through your eyes…to listen, without judgement, to what it’s like to walk in your shoes…to offer support, a listening ear and to strategize together ways to grow, cope & continue your journey forward in life.

My name is Ryna. I work with ages 5 and up. My areas of treatment include autism, anxiety, depression, family therapy, and trauma. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community I am affirming of the LGBTQ+ community and familiar with the community's experiences and needs.

I am a trauma informed, sex positive clinician that strives to improve connection between couples, provide inclusive sex education and focus on individuals reducing distress and improving their quality of life. I am passionate about assisting individuals & couples with enhancing communication, reducing conflict, set boundaries, resolve trauma, and cope effectively with all of life's stressors. As well as providing sex therapy to individuals & couples, I also have 10+ years experience providing DBT and EMDR therapy to teenage and adult clients and have a weekly DBT group for adults.

I currently practice at Ellie Mental Health in Overland Park! Ellie is a growing practice that aims to make mental health care accessible and decrease the stigma related to seeking support and taking care of ourselves. As a whole, we seek to provide an empathetic, affirming and inclusive space for all that need help and decrease the anxiety that we all can have in being vulnerable in asking for what we need.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or low self esteem? I'm here to help! I am a cognitive behavior therapist with 10 years experience treating adult & teen issues. I am EMDR trained to handle trauma, and I am trained in sports hypnosis. Sports hypnosis allows me to help athletes with performance related anxieties like sports/athletics, test taking, and public speaking. My work in both community mental health and private practice has provided extensive experience in treating adults & teens dealing with anxiety, depression, bullying, low self esteem, trauma, social isolation, and self harm thoughts.

The decision to begin therapy can be one of the most important steps you can make to change your life for the better. I specialize in working with individuals who experience ADHD symptoms, anxiety, are on the Autism spectrum, identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, live alternative lifestyles (kink/cnm), or are adjusting to life changes. If you're motivated to 'dig in' and make meaningful change in your life, I'd love to help you accomplish your goals. I aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment for insightful change where you feel understood & affirmed.

Through human connection, healing can take place. I hope to help you begin the process to improve your emotional health no matter where you are in life. As your therapist, my goal is to help you feel at home in your body, mind, and heart. I can help deconstruct and shift your “shoulds” into something that feels more authentic and meaningful to you. Sometimes all we need is a safe environment to explore primary interests, develop goals, and determine strengths and assets to move forward.

Are you facing challenges that seem insurmountable? Struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions? I am here to guide you towards a path of healing, growth, and empowerment. With a warm and empathetic approach, I can provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and concerns. My therapeutic approach is tailored to your unique needs, helping you gain insights, develop coping strategies, and foster a deeper understanding of yourself.

Do you find that you regularly battle with your body and brain? Second guessing what to say, ashamed of your body, and judgmental of your thoughts? Do you utilize food to avoid emotionally or to force your body into a different look? Is trauma impacting your relationships? You are not alone. Health is not a static place to achieve that defines who you are as a person, rather it is a continuum we have that ebbs and flows as we engage in our lives. As we continue to strive for unachievable perfection, we end up with intrusive, ruminative negative thoughts and in a constant power struggle with our brain and body.

Hello my name is Lana Jamison and I am a licensed therapist serving KS and MO. I understand that life can be challenging. We are pulled in many directions and often give so much of ourselves to other people and the activities in our lives. It can feel overwhelming trying to balance it all! I work with individuals who regularly share concerns of exhaustion, worry, anger, stress, communication difficulties, resentment, and sadness.

Insight can overcome life's challenges. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Addiction Counselor in the greater Kansas City area to help support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

I enjoy working with teens, adults, and couples. My role in the therapeutic relationship is to support the client in creating and achieving manageable goals that improve well-being. As a clinician, I walk alongside my clients in identifying distorted ways of thinking and ways to cope with difficult situations in a healthy manner.

One of my favorite quotes is by Emily Dickinson, "I am out with the lanterns looking for myself." Over the last 46 years of wandering this earth, I don't know a lot to be true, but I strongly believe that we are all doing the best we can with what we have. Sometimes we just don't have what we need. We are all better together. We are all wandering this earth trying to find purpose. And we all need help finding our way. There is a wild and holy beast inside of all of us waiting to be loved and tamed...but kept a little wild. Our wild is our magic. It is why people love us. Please stay a little wild.

I am a first-generation Lao American born and raised in Arkansas. I grew up in a humble environment where my father often reminded me of the hard work required to create a different life. As a descendant of refugees, I understand the many challenges that come with creating upward mobility and have overcome my fair share of obstacles.

I love helping people gain the skills they need to heal from the past, live in the present, and look towards the future. My philosophy is that anyone can benefit from counseling, regardless of how big or small their problems might seem. Just as we might take steps to prevent physical ailments by eating healthy and exercising, seeking counseling before life becomes overwhelming helps build coping strategies and mental and emotional health so that when life struggles do arise, we are better equipped to handle them, whether as an individual, a couple, or a family.
