Therapists in Emporia, KS

Hi there! I know is not easy to take the first step into therapy. Or making the decision to get back into therapy or even looking for a new counselor. It takes strength and wisdom to reach out for help. Sometimes life does not go the way we plan. Or we simply find ourselves with day to day stress/struggles. I like to embrace what you are already doing good and empower you in your life journey.

I enjoy working one-on-one with children and adults, and with families, teaching them to communicate in healthier ways, learn to cope with stressors, and break destructive patterns. I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, oppositional defiant disorder, PTSD, and numerous individuals struggling to adapt to life changes. My goal is to help you meet your goals to find healthy balance in daily life and relationships. I work with survivors of domestic violence, through the local domestic violence support agency. I want to help you work through your traumas to find you again. LGBTQ+ welcome!

For 15 years I have helped people navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions and adjustment issues. My clients have freed themselves from repetitive, self-defeating patterns and behaviors. They are now leading the lives they want and have found satisfaction in their relationships. Whether you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you are ready to move in a new life direction, I can provide you with the support and resources to help you achieve your goal. I love helping clients discover their own strengths and successfully manage their wellness.

As a creative guide I empower others with a mind-body-spirit approach to: find balance, tap into their intuition, and bring their own vision and desires to life. Are you feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Are you ready to dive deep into self-discovery and spiritual connection; strengthen your intimate relationships; reignite passion; explore self-identity and sexuality; build confidence; develop healthy boundaries; or need someone to help you walk through grief? I believe that adding creative expression into our lives helps reduce stress, promotes healing, and provides the opportunity to know ourselves in an intimate way.

Life can throw us curve balls. It isn't always what we imagined it may be. We may find ourselves struggling with the pressures of everyday life and sometimes overwhelmed by the unexpected. Brave Counseling and Consultation was developed in effort to assist others through life struggles. When life becomes overwhelming, we can begin to experience hopelessness, helplessness, difficulty sleeping or waking, irritability and feeling on edge, or other unwanted and undesired feelings. At Brave Counseling, we are here to help you push through everyday struggles and tackle life's struggles so you can regain control and functioning of life.

After 14+ years of working with diverse populations, I opened my private practice to work specifically with professional adults. I firmly believe that even in a rural area such as Emporia, professional adults deserve to have high quality, and most importantly, confidential therapy. My practice has been intentionally designed to provide such an experience, through my office location, session environment, and documentation standards. Additionally, no one else will ever have access to your protected health information as I do my own billing as well.

Hello! I am ready and willing to work as a compassionate guide for you on your journey to better mental health! I am dedicated to helping individuals of all backgrounds find their path to emotional well-being. Taking the first step can be daunting. That's why I try to go the extra mile to create a comfortable and nurturing environment for my clients. In my therapy space, my hope is you will find solace and a listening ear, free of judgement. This sense of safety is the foundation for transformative healing and growth.

"You're like Mr. Rogers because you talk about ideas and feelings, but you cuss a lot. I like that." --- I have worked closely with people from a broad range of political, economic, and cultural backgrounds, those who identify as LGBTQ+, as well as folks from more traditionally rural backgrounds.

Life becomes difficult for everyone at times. Emotions and cognitions can build up and be experienced in negative ways. I work with clients of all ages to increase hope and trust in their lives and relationships. I want to empower my clients to learn skills to effectively handle whatever they are struggling with in their life. I walk with my clients as they learn to handle the ups and downs of their life journey.

I am so glad you’re here. My hope is that you find a feeling of safety, peace, and the space to explore a new path forward at Twin Rivers Counseling. Whether you are seeking services for yourself, your relationship, or your child, I am here to offer compassion, hope, and a safe place to heal. As a person of faith, I am comfortable incorporating my clients' faith into the healing process if they would like to do so. I have experience in treating trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, and couple issues. As a social worker, I believe we influence our surroundings, and our surroundings influence us.

Hi! My name is Jacquelin "Jackie" Psota. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist (LCP) in Emporia, Kansas. I have 20 years of experience working with a large range of mental health diagnoses, severities, and symptoms through Individual, Family, Couples, and Group Therapy. I have and continue to work with all ages from children to geriatric.

Are you an adult who is ready to reconcile life events that have caused you pain? Talking to someone can help you put things into perspective and assist in developing a plan to put these concerns behind you. I am collaborative and solution focused.

Counseling Associates of the Flint Hills, LLC provides mental health/ behavioral health counseling. Counseling Associates was started in 2011 by two therapists.

Life issues are hard enough, but going through them alone or unsupported is even harder. You are not your symptoms and you are not alone. Counseling can be a powerful asset. Choosing the right therapist for you can be a daunting task. I would love the opportunity to see if we are a good match. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment so that personal exploration, reflection, growth, and positive changes can occur. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, other clinicians/mental health professionals, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

At times we all struggle with feeling overwhelmed, down, or confused. Like physical health, our mental health is an important part of our over all well-being. When we are out of balance everything feels harder. I am a firm believer in the dignity and worth of all individuals. I also believe that the understanding of oppression is an important part of therapy and recovery is a social justice issue. I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor. I have been in the field for over 16 years. I am highly trained in grief, gender & sexual identity, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and DBT.

I enjoy working with and helping clients struggling with anxiety from day to day life, sense of direction in life or lack thereof, and sense of purpose, among other things.

Therapy is about making a personal connection for change. Over 30 years as a family psychologist I've logged some 31,000 hours face-to-face with teens, young adults, couples and families on issues ranging from life adjustment to major psychological disorders. I am a certified sex therapist (AASECT) and Board Certified in Couples and Family Psychology (ABPP). I'm equally comfortable with straight and LGBTQ clients. Please check my website for further details on my training, experience, books and scope of practice.

The tension in your chest is there again. You can hardly catch your breath. So much to do! Your mind is racing and you feel like you are drowning. Even the smallest things are irritating. You just screamed at your son for spilling a drink, and now feel terrible about it. You missed another assignment at work because you’re so distracted. Confidence is at an all-time low. “I can’t do anything right,” you tell yourself. You know something needs to change, but you’re paralyzed by anxiety. Overthinking every choice until you can’t take any action. It’s gotten to the point where you just want to stay in bed, avoid everyone, and give up.

We're proud to be the largest private mental health clinic in Douglas County and the surrounding area. This affords us a broad array of services, client types, and approaches to treatment.
