Therapists in Lawrence, KS

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.

Hi there! Thank you for stopping by my page. I know finding the right therapist can be scary and intimidating. There are a lot of unknowns and sometimes we let that hold us back. I want you to feel empowered to take control of your life. My goal as a therapist is to create a comfortable, welcoming and safe environment where you feel heard and validated. My belief is that your story matters and you deserve to be heard and guided through your struggle. I feel honored that my clients entrust me with their story.

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.

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 love working with clients with a variety of concerns, goals, and backgrounds. I am here to support anyone and everyone who is going through a difficult time in life or a has a goal they would like to reach. I have 10 years of experience practicing therapy with clients ranging from 5 years old to adulthood. I have extensive experience working with children, adults, and families that have endured significant traumas or are struggling with mental health from a multitude of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.

Do you experience depression, anxiety, mood swings, relationship conflicts or engage in impulsive behaviors? If you've answered yes to any of these questions you are not alone. Finding your way to this moment is your journey, together we can embrace your strengths and work toward the life you have envisioned.

Most of us come to therapy because we are struggling and wish to find a way through. We are seeking ease, a better life, a better version of ourselves, or to better know ourselves. In psychotherapy, we can discover innate tools for healing and practice new ways of being to uncover our potential. Finding Ease Therapy creates a space for clients to be seen and heard. Clients are guided to deepen their awareness through individualized techniques. They release behavioral, emotional, and cognitive disturbance to make space for their dreams. This approach, coupled with skill building for when times get tough fosters ease.

Fed up with feeling stuck? If you have childhood wounds but hoped by now you'd feel happier and empowered, I get you. Maybe your heart feels crushed 10 ten times over. Or you're angry and want to yell. Life still feels difficult. You work hard only to find yourself in this frustrating place. Maybe you've tried spirituality, but it didn't help enough. Maybe nature is 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).

I love working with individual clients who are ready to do the work, clients who are seeking answers, clients who are ready to look within and heal deeply. The issues I work most with is trauma, attentional disorders, anxiety, life transitions, identity and grief. My clients range from later adolescents and adults. Often, I integrate spiritual components if clients are open to and feel comforted by utilizing these perspectives. I meet clients where they are, as a social worker, I believe in advocacy and collaboration.

We all get stuck sometimes—it’s simply part of being human. If life is feeling overwhelming and unsatisfying, old coping skills aren’t working so well, and you’re not sure what to do next, you may find it helpful to come to therapy to talk things through and explore what might help get you back on a more satisfying path.

Anxious, depressed, feeling hopeless and lost in life...this a description increasingly fitting many adolescents and young adults. Many clients struggle with being their worst critic and fear living authentically in a world that can trigger anxiety at every corner. These people can benefit from a strong trusting therapeutic relationship which honors their emotions and struggles, while encouraging them to take their own steps forward in creating the life they want to live.

An eager and excited lifelong learner – I work with individuals and partners looking to anchor or reconnect to their inner peace and rootedness. As a native Kansan who loves traveling, with my undergrad in anthropology, I enjoy interacting with a variety of cultures and learning restorative modalities which I use to find daily peace and happiness. My therapy focuses include, life transitions, adverse childhood experiences, spiritual and existential exploration, trauma healing, health and injury recovery, grief, and relationship challenges.

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.

After a career of more than thirty years I believe therapy can be an adventure enhancing physical, emotional and spiritual well being. In addition to teaching clients how to determine life goals, and take small steps to reach them, I encourage creative expression through journaling, dream interpretation, the study of Myers-Briggs personality types and the Enneagram. A favorite book of mine is, "Women Who Run With the Wolves," by Clarissa Estes'.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit can be a daunting task. I have a versatile therapeutic approach that is strengths-based, empowerment-focused, and person-centered. I emphasize collaboration, choice, and readiness to change in my practice at Integrated Clinical Services (ICS). I strive to work with adults and adolescents in all stages of life, who are facing personal challenges, trauma (current, past, generational), everyday struggles, who want to know more about themselves, or those going through life transitions.

Everyone needs support and validation. I strive to provide a space where people can feel safe and heard. I want to work with you to build a trusting and collaborative relationship where you can feel free to be your true self.
