Therapists in Lenexa, KS

I love working with people who are ready to understand their emotions and to engage in a process of growth and healing. My clients often feel that the ways that they have been coping are no longer working and they are ready to try something new. Whether they are struggling with anxiety, depression, or interpersonal conflicts within their support system, I assist them with taking a deeper dive into examining the underlying sources of their discomfort.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you want to find solutions leading to greater peace of mind and contentment? I provide you a compassionate, safe environment to speak freely about your unique situation. Although we can address together any life issue, my specialties include couples counseling, premarital preparation for marriage, caregiver stress, and grief therapy. I can also teach you mindfulness techniques to handle daily stress and bring clarity of thought. Tinnitus can be treated, too. Having studied world religions, I can help you use your religious and spiritual beliefs to facilitate your life journey, regardless of your path.

Robert A. Feuer, MA, LCP, (Bob) is a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst with 37 years of clinical experience helping people change and grow to improve their lives and relationships. I am past-President of the Greater Kansas City-Topeka Psychoanalytic Center where I also serve on the Psychoanalytic Institute teaching faculty. I create a warm, safe, and therapeutic environment for adults and adolescents struggling with mood, anxiety, trauma, adjustment, and relationship issues. I provide briefer therapy as well as psychoanalysis-a deeper, longer-term, more intensive treatment for more lasting and fundamental change.

Why, despite good intentions, do you repeat something that isn't good for you? How can you learn compassion for yourself and others - instead of judging or shaming? How can you think 'outside the box' and recognize your fear of risk? Psychotherapy provides a place to explore what needs to happen so you can feel mastery in life. I'll work with you to gain awareness and see alternatives.

Do you sometimes feel things are overwhelming or too much has happened, so it’s hard visualizing things getting better? Do you sometimes find yourself turning to unhealthy coping skills to help fill voids which only seems to bring about a temporary release, emptiness or more stress? Some things we can not control which can cause tension in our lives, however, I feel we can learn to better manage how we respond and react to situations. I believe in order for true healing to begin, we must first be willing to be open and honest with ourselves. Within all of us lies hope, strength, the need for connection, and being understood.

Finding the right counselor may be one of the most important decisions you can make in seeking a better life. As my client, you will be provided a therapeutic relationship that is non-threatening, challenging, empowering, and ultimately life changing. You will find that your pain, which is actually healing trying to happen, will be lessened and most likely alleviated, your feelings and experiences are valid, and that you can make positive changes to improve your life and relationships.

Hello! I’m Aaron and I am passionate about helping you find greater expansiveness, security and joy in your life. I use Somatic Experiencing to help trauma heal, fight/flight/freeze responses to complete and to bring balance to your emotional life. I am also certified in psychoanalysis and trained to listen deeply and help bring awareness to the hidden patterns that represent important parts of you waiting to be heard and cared for.

We are all unique, multidimensional puzzle pieces trying to find where we fit. As such, we all have countless ways to define ourselves. However you choose to define yourself, I am here to help you throughout your journey. I know what it means to find everyday to be an uphill struggle, as my own journey had me move from my home in South Korea and endeavor to adapt to a new life in Kansas City. I have experienced the friction of adjusting to a new environment and the feeling of not belonging. I have also discovered for myself how to thrive in such an environment, and would like to help you learn how to thrive in your own environment.

I believe psychotherapy is a mixture of psychoeducation (providing information to help people develop new coping and relationship skills), emotional processing (learning to identify and work through uncomfortable feelings), and corrective emotional experience (using the counseling relationship as a safe place to experiment with new interpersonal skills). I utilize a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (addressing how our thoughts and beliefs impact our emotional experience, self-image, and behavior); Family Systems Therapy (helping people gain insight into characteristic relationship patterns); and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (understanding how ways of coping developed earlier in life may not serve us well in the present).

What is this therapy thing all about? It’s simple and hard at the same time and can be the best decision you’ll ever make for yourself. You talk, I listen. And together we open up the possibilities. We will explore what makes you you, and then decide what you want to keep and want you’d like to change. The goal is to help you feel closer to your authentic self while being able to love those around you in a deeper, more meaningful way.

With 30 years experience in mental health, I have a conviction about the human capacity to grow, develop, and adapt throughout life. I appreciate that each person brings to therapy a unique self: the combination of one's personal characteristics, early family relationships, and life experiences. I practice from a psychodynamic perspective to better understand your current situation in a safe therapeutic environment of curiosity and collaboration.
