Therapists in Lawrence, KS

To the person who is tired of feeling stuck- I see you. You've given therapy your best and nothing seems to help. "That thing that happened to you" continues to haunt you with overpowering force. You want to find freedom and get on with your life, but you're skeptical if that is even possible. What you have experienced doesn't need to steal from your present any longer.

Welcome and congratulations on taking this critical first step toward taking care of yourself. Whether your struggle is anxiety, depression, grief & loss, or simply need help navigating life's transitions, the relationship we will build in therapy allows for understanding and growth to take place. With 30 years of experience helping teens, adults and families, I'm committed to using evidence based practices to help clients feel better and improve their quality of life. I want to support you toward your goals and believe identifying and initiating small shifts in thought, feelings and behavior lead to healthier patterns of living.

"The best way out is always through" --Robert Frost. While noting we have remarkable capacities to cope, strive, and even thrive through challenges, there are many times in life we all find ourselves coming up short. It is in these times, we could all benefit seeking support from others. I have been helping people per aspera, or through difficulty, in a therapeutic capacity for over 14 years. I am curious by nature about people's unique strengths and struggles and enjoy the process of developing strategies for working through difficulty.

When children are struggling, this often impacts the entire family. Connecting with parents and caregivers and working directly alongside children through the powerful practice of Play Therapy, we can work towards positive change!

I have worked as a therapist for 25 years and I have trained in numerous evidence based practices which allows me to offer my clients the treatment they need to get better. I am passionate about helping clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, health conditions, life transitions, and stress move towards creating and maintaining emotional wellness. I believe change is possible and through therapy people can and do get better.

I work with individuals, couples, and families ranging in age from children through geriatric addressing multiple issues including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, behavioral issues, relational problems, anger management, and coping skills.

At Social Perspective, we are dedicated to helping you create positive change. We work with adults who are managing their own or a loved one's depression, anxiety, or increased stress. Our supportive team also works with children including those who have experienced trauma, bullying, have anger and behavior issues, are feeling depressed or having suicidal thoughts. We believe that every individual can build on hope, strengthen their coping skills, accomplish goals, and overcome challenges.

I have an integrative approach to therapy and keep an open mind when working with my clients to choose the best treatment plan for the individual. I am knowledgeable in Positive Psychotherapy, LGBTQ+ Therapy, Multicultural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also encourage creative forms of therapy and nature exposure.

Change takes courage. I understand the courage it takes to reach out and ask for support when we feel our most stuck. As your therapist, I will remain fully dedicated to strengthening the resiliency needed within to reclaim yourself through connection, self-compassion, and self-love.

I am an Osteopathic Physician board certified in Family Medicine with certification in Medical Acupuncture. I am very excited to offer Acupuncture in my private practice in historic downtown Lawrence, Kansas.

I have worked in the Lawrence community providing mental health services for more than 15 years. I primarily work with adolescents and adults. Therapy is a process of identifying and initiating small shifts in thought, feelings and behaviors that lead to healthier patterns of living with ourselves and others. I work with individuals and families to identify a path to improving your quality of life, relationships, and functioning. I have extensive experience treating ADHD, depression, anxiety, working through co-parenting, high conflict divorce, family conflicts, and supporting the transition to work, college, and life after college.

Hi! I'm Katie and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. I am client-centered and strongly believe in the therapeutic relationship being a safe and affirming space. I believe the client knows themselves the best, yet sometimes we get stuck in patterns that are unhelpful for us, and sometimes we need support in getting un-stuck to move forward in life. I listen from a non-judgmental place so you will feel heard, understood, and know that you have meaningful support. I want my clients to feel that they can be their authentic selves and for them to flourish in all the ways imaginable.

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.

I am dedicated to serving adults in various stages of recovery, be it from burnout, childbirth, divorce, career transitions, empty nesting, first-time adulting, alcoholism, chronic pain, addiction, grief, generational family dysfunction, marginalization, or cultural toxicity. Through a supportive and secure environment, we will work together to rediscover your true self and embrace your potential. You will regain confidence, dignity, and integrate once-exiled aspects of your personality in a functional manner. My approach focuses on fostering self-awareness and growth with compassion and non-judgmental understanding.

Life always gives us challenges, be that in our relationships, at work, within our families and even the way we relate to ourselves; sometimes those challenges become overwhelming and we feel we can't face them or cope, we want to hide or give up. I invite my clients to join me in learning how to navigate these difficulties in their lives by providing them with first the space to be vulnerable and then the tools to have greater insight and ability to face the challenges in a way that can lead them to resolution and healing. The first step to begin healing is allowing yourself to ask for help on this journey.
