Tretbar Therapy specializes & supports twice exceptional, autistic, neurodivergent, ADHD, highly sensitive people & their wonderful families. We offer relationship, couples, & marriage therapy & counseling in Overland Park. I taught acting & documentary film in LA, for 25 years, so use a modern, playful, neurobased approach. If you have PTSD, depression or anxiety, EMDR sessions, & cultural family legacy work, brings healing, health, & hope. Tretbar Therapy is a personal, private, professional therapy practice.
I customize therapy for you & loved ones. For adults & couples, we'll use EMDR, Somatic, EFT and life story-telling. For kids & teens, enhancing self esteem is key, as is play therapy, PACE & ACT, to explore meaning, values, & deep life questions. Tretbar Therapy also offers comprehensive, state-of-the-art ADHD testing in Kansas City for teens and adults.
I see a majority of clients in my Kansas City office. Tretbar Therapy also offers online teletherapy for teens, adults, & families, in Kansas.

While I work with many Kansas City families and their kids, I see just as many individual adults and couples. Validating, naming, & noticing all the exhausting stuff the world expects of you can be so healing. I use a lot of humor and playfulness too. I also offer comprehensive ADHD assessments for adults 16 and older, using state of the art, neuroscience based, software and testing.

I often use EMDR techniques and lots of story-telling and family history deep dives, to help you explore & heal your pain. I believe we can get stuck neurologically by our stories, families, cultures, and past beliefs. I believe in FREEDOM. Who are you? Why? Who do you want to be? This self exploration can give you a new perspective. The right therapy can set you free.
