Teletherapy for Lawrence, KS

My name is Caleb Stephens, and I am an Intersectional Clinician. The reality of therapy is that it is inaccessible to most, and the majority of therapists gear their therapy around themselves, and not around the needs of the client, nor the layers of identity that exist. I am not a traditional therapist, as I am also an Activist, and the majority of the work that I do is Identity work. This is about meeting you where you're at, and I'm here for it.

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.

Hello and thank you for your interest in my professional psychology practice. Most clients who come to see me work on problems related to relationships, emotion regulation, concern about behaviors that may be addictive, recovery issues, life and career decisions, and creating and maintaining balance in everyday life. I also offer a variety of testing, evaluation, and forensic services.

Currently accepting new clients! - You’ve always felt like you were different. You think about things more deeply than most people, you seem to feel things more deeply too. Often you find yourself appeasing others at your own expense because the idea of confrontation and asserting yourself feels so overwhelming. You hold yourself to really high standards and constantly compare yourself to others. In fact, you’ve gotten so used to being what other people want you to be that you aren’t even sure who you are anymore. You’re tired of relying on external validation and tired of struggling so much to speak up for your needs.

Not the life you wanted? If you have childhood wounds but hoped by now you would feel happier and empowered, I get you. Life still feels difficult. Maybe your heart feels crushed 10 ten times over. Or you're angry and want to yell. You work hard only to find yourself in this frustrating place. Maybe you've tried spirituality, but it didn't help enough. Maybe nature has been comforting, but you still aren't thriving. I can help you heal and thrive through compassionate communication, inner parts work, guided imagery and awareness, and embodied, scientifically researched practices (regulated breathing, EFT tapping, and more).

Are you ready to make changes in your life? I am committed to helping individuals, couples and teens achieve a better life. I have more than a decade of experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationships. Trust me to help you reach the goals you have set for yourself.

Are you feeling beat up by life? Do you doubt your worth? Your voice will be heard when you're in my office. You will not be judged. I want to help you feel better about YOU. I will partner with you as you strive to create positive change in your life. I have many years of experience in addictions, couple's issues, and general mental health problems. I enjoy working with clients who are looking for a safe place to process their thoughts and feelings. I'm open to working with adults and older teens. I am also able to speak to matters of faith, if that fits your context.

Being accepted for who we are is one of our most basic needs as humans. With many pieces adding up to create a whole being, it is hard to find someone who can understand without having to explain every time we see them. Repeated explaining and misunderstanding can lead to a feeling of shame and uncertainty that can damage the therapeutic relationship before it starts. I work from a baseline of understanding to help create a safe space for my clients to learn and grow. Therapy should be a laboratory where you can experiment with how you interact with others and present yourself. You are the expert on you. I'm just here to guide.

I love supporting clients who are wanting to make a change in their life or are wanting to feel better but aren't quite sure how to get there. Maybe they are struggling with regulating their emotions and don't have enough tools to be as resilient as they would like to be. Maybe there are outside stressors with work, a relationship, or kids and want support in how to handle a situation. They may find themselves "triggered" by things from past trauma and they don't know how to cope. They may be struggling with food issues and know what to do but can't seem to do it. They may be struggling with loss due to death or a divorce.

Happiness is possible for each of us. It can seem out of reach, but together we can uncover your goodness and joy. You will feel less worried. You will feel more like you belong here in this world, and in your life. "Mindfulness" sounds complicated, but it simply means being here, at this moment. Feel your toes, notice the colors, breath in--good. That's it. This is something you already know how to do. We will build a practice of gratitude and happiness from this spark.

I am a firm believer in the idea that there is no problem too small, and understand that the path to growth and healing can be a scary one. In the words of Tiffany Roe, “you gotta feel, deal, heal.” I consider it an honor to walk this path with people and believe that there is hope in all stories. I work with eating disorders, self esteem/body issues, anxiety disorders, and depression. I work with my clients to identify their unique values and integrate their mind and body experience.

Life can be joyful and fulfilling, but it can also sometimes involve difficult transitions and painful experiences. My passion is to assist clients in coping with challenging situations and to provide guidance in living life with your most cherished values in mind. Over the years I have worked with individuals, couples, and families that have been faced with a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, cognitive or behavioral conditions, family dynamic challenges, trauma, anger management, and couples/marital concerns as well as other matters. My goal is to tailor your treatment using research based practices that will best fit your unique situation.

She is passionate about helping people with their mental health. “If you listen to your mental health when it whispers, you won’t have to hear it scream.” - Dr. Cristina. Miranda wants people to understand that mental health is something important to pay attention to, and no one has to ride the struggle bus alone. She also feels that “weirdness is a side effect of being awesome” and hopes to help people learn to love, accept, talk about, and process through things that make them different from others.

Most clients seek out therapy because something or possibly many things aren't feeling good or working out well in their lives. They are looking for healing, for worth, for growth, for change. They need a safe and trusting person and an environment where they can feel heard, can process, feel, collaborate, make sense of, and make changes to improve their lives. They are looking for someone to listen and engage without judgement but also to challenge them when necessary. Therapy is about a collaborative relationship that allows a person to open their heart and their mind to healing.
