First Responders Therapists in Miami County, KS
Does anger, sadness or anxiety get in the way of your relationships, jobs or general happiness? I work with clients to process these feelings and the pain they can cause. We all carry baggage from our childhoods and pasts, worsened by the hardships we endure as adults and from the inevitable trials of daily life, but they do not define who we are. Anger is a common response to these issues but does not have to interfere with our lives. Having worked for over a decade as a first responder, I know first hand how trauma impacts us, especially in our ability to control impulses, frustration and anger. You do not need to suffer alone.

A counselor's technical skills are only as important as their ability to connect with you, otherwise personal growth in therapy may be limited. Establishing a balanced, trusting, supportive, and safe relationship with you is a paramount aspiration within my counseling framework. It is my mission to provide you with empathic counseling support by not only using research-based and proven interventions, but also with my ability to foster a supportive and nurturing therapeutic alliance. I provide comprehensive therapy for couples, individuals, adolescents, and families utilizing a client centered, emotionally-focused approach.

Clients can expect a collaborative process with interventions tailored to your values in taking steps toward becoming the person you desire to be. I am a believer in the human capacity for growth and the importance of contextual, developmental, and cultural factors in psychological functioning. Common themes in sessions include resolving conflicts between what a person (or couple) wants and what is in the way. For teens or adults I also can help with psychological testing or treatment for concerns with academic achievement, motivation, and mood. I am experienced with veterans and disability exams.

With decades in military leadership and education, I understand performance pressure and emotional containment.
You may carry significant responsibility at work, at home, or at school and rarely slow down. You’re used to meeting expectations and pushing through stress. Lately, the pressure may show up as irritability, anxiety, emotional shutdown, relationship tension, or exhaustion that won’t ease. Adolescents often feel similar strain through academic demands, family stress, and identity development. Many clients want clarity, steadiness, and greater control.

Many of my clients appear to be functioning well on the outside but feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns they can't seem to change. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents navigating anxiety, ADHD, relationship struggles, family conflict, life transitions, and trauma (specifically relational and attachment-based trauma). Together, we explore how past experiences may be shaping present challenges, strengthen communication and coping skills, and build healthier patterns of connection, resilience, and lasting change.

Hi! My name is Lindley. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
Making the decision to begin therapy can feel intimidating, vulnerable, and at times flat-out scary. My goal is to make sure you don’t have to face this journey alone. Whether you are navigating everyday stressors, battling with trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, or curious to learn more about who you are and explore your story, we can begin the journey together, as I believe in a collaborative approach. Therapy is not about “fixing” you, rather it’s about understanding your story, recognizing what you carry, and finding new ways to move forward.

First Responders Therapists
Why is mental health important for first responders?
As part of their work, first responders are often exposed to high levels of stress, trauma, and physical injury that can put them at a greater risk for serious mental health conditions than the general population. Conditions like PTSD, anxiety, substance use, and depression are more common in first responders, which can greatly reduce quality of life and lead to burnout, sleep disruption, and even suicidal thoughts. Therapy can offer an opportunity for first responders to process difficult on-the-job experiences and develop coping skills to better manage any mental health symptoms they may experience.
How can first responders get access to mental health support?
Many first responders can access therapy for free or at a very low cost through their employer, such as through an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Workplaces may also offer or have referral recommendations for support groups, where first responders can meet with others in their profession to receive support. Individuals who would like to access mental health services outside of their employer may use their insurance benefits to see a therapist, which they can find by searching for therapists online or asking for recommendations from their primary care physician.
What type of therapy is best for first responders?
The best therapy approach depends on the mental health concerns of the client. Since many first responders struggle with trauma or PTSD, they may benefit from trauma-specific therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Exposure Therapy, or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Individuals with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress may alternatively benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches, which can help clients develop coping skills to manage distressing thoughts.
Can therapy for first responders help with trauma and PTSD?
Therapy can be highly effective in both treating and preventing trauma and PTSD in first responders. Typically, therapy for trauma and PTSD focuses on developing stress management skills and managing intrusive or unwanted thoughts. Therapists working with first responders often help clients strengthen their relationships and reduce harmful coping mechanisms, such as excessive substance use. Additionally, therapists assist first responders in establishing daily habits that support overall mental and physical health and enhance resilience to future stress, such as regular physical exercise, mindfulness practices, and improved eating habits.
