Therapists in Hiawatha, KS

I love working with couples, families, individuals, adolescents, and parents about their personal issues and emotional needs. I am a family therapist who believe most people can manage their own lives, except for those few times when life throws a curve ball, then we may have difficulty figuring how to handle that ball. We often find ourselves going in circles using old techniques and patterns that don't work . Let me help you step out of the repetitive loop by helping you identify the patterns and discover new ways to mange this particular ball.

Asking for help can be difficult. We often think "I should be able to handle my problems myself". However, everyone needs support at some point in their lives. A major crisis, a life transition, loss, job stress, relationship problems, emotional needs, our past interfering with our present, or everyday stressors become too much to deal with alone. We forget our strengths and become isolated, depressed, angry, or make poor choices.

Not all clients arrive to therapy with the same issues or the same rooting point, so therapy needs to be unique to each individual. I provide a space to establish how clients see therapy happening and I am there to help guide the process in a healthy manner. The space belongs to the client, not me.

I understand that everyone is struggling in some capacity to heal from past hurts, process life transitions, or learn how to feel confident about oneself. I enjoy working with teens/adolescents and adults. I have experience working with clients who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, low-self esteem/confidence issues, and trauma.

Feeling stressed and unable to move forward? Perhaps, you've experienced loss due to death, divorce, injury or transitional changes. Whatever is causing the distress, you've already taken the first step toward healing. Many people may experience symptoms of depression or anxiety that indicate something in their life isn't right. At times, we all need someone to guide us and keep us on course as we face life's difficulties. Whether you want to improve your relationships or make a career/lifestyle change, I can help! Together we can work to get to the root of the problem.

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.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I especially enjoy working with children, teens, and couples facing a variety of issues. Life is a journey in which change is often the only constant. My job is to honor the journey you are on, and provide avenues for healing and hope both for you and your family. I believe that by working with individuals and families, healing and relational satisfaction can take place and change in relationships can occur.

Hi, I’m Megan (she/her), and I believe your story is uniquely valuable. I also know how hard it is to write your story in a world that wants to write it for you. Are you questioning who you are or what's important to you? Do you often find yourself seeking approval from others to measure your self-worth? If you're feeling overwhelmed by pressure from every angle, you're not alone. You deserve a safe space to process your experiences, ask yourself tough questions, and learn to write your story in your own words. I'm passionate about creating that space and I'm here to welcome you when you're ready.

I offer guidance and support through Trauma-informed Counseling and Coaching in the areas of emotional/behavioral, relational, and spiritual. I specialize in Holistic therapeutic interventions and utilize a very unique and individualized approach to empower people toward change. In either individual or group settings I work with individuals to identify areas of their lives that have become problematic. We then work together to design a "package" unique to the person or group that encompasses both internal and external resources to equip them to become positive change agents within their homes, families, and communities.

I work collaboratively with people to achieve positive outcomes. Some of the areas I work most often with clients are anxiety, depressed mood, family transitions including care-taking of senior age parents, couple and marriage problems, separation, divorce, grief and loss, parenting, blended families, combat stress, PTSD, adjustment to life-style changes including senior citizens, military family issues and stress over financial troubles.
