Adults Therapists in Overland Park, KS

I work with people who want to experience a journey self-discovery, find the meaning or cause of their difficulties rather than focus on a ‘quick fix’ of only addressing symptoms. Whether needing help with depression, anxiety, relationship / sexuality issues or wishing to explore what a more meaningful & interesting life might look like, professional help can be beneficial. I work with adults (usually over 35 and often older folks above the age of 55) of various races & ethnicities, genders & sexualities, religions & spiritualities. All are welcome. As of March 2023, I am accepting new clients.

I am a firm believer that the only thing that separates a counselor/therapist from the client is a current need. With this belief, I strive to help clients through current life struggles in a non-judgmental environment. My work is informed through collaboration with clients, education, experience, and empathy. As a professional counselor and social worker, my comprehensive approach to therapy enables clients to identify and change the patterns that often create barriers to emotional, social, educational, and occupational growth.

Life can be hard, but you don't have to go through it alone! Asking for help is a sign of strength not weakness and I am here to help! My goal is to help every single one of my clients grow into the person they want to become. From the smallest goal to the largest, I will be by your side and support you every step of the way. I want my clients to feel heard, validated and supported.

As a licensed professional counselor, I am honored to serve as a collaborator, partner, and secure base from which you can explore thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and beliefs. I offer help navigating this exploration and provide support through an open, accepting, and genuine desire to understand your unique experiences and needs.

Is there hope for lasting change? Together with the client/couple, we focus on lasting change, healing, and insightful meaning. I offer a supportive counseling relationship that respects and honors the individual. I ensure that each person feels heard and understood. We explore coping strategies that make sense of the pain and difficulties in relationships, unhealthy patterns, depression, anxiety, and grief. We collaborate on goals that address the symptoms and the causes of distress. I have a comprehensive approach that enables you to take home and apply to life what you've experienced in therapy.

My focus is to help people move through and overcome whatever obstacles are keeping them from experiencing a quality, fulfilling life. I work with a range of individuals and issues with either one person individually, or with a couple or family relationship. I have specialized training and education in treating ADHD in children and adults , in prenatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and trauma. I utilize a type of therapy called Somatic Experiencing to heal trauma which aims to restore the individual's nervous system to a less reactive state.

I have been counselor for over 25 years, and enjoy working with a diverse group of people. I am eclectic, welcoming with all forms of spirituality and lifestyles. I work with adults , adolescents, and children, and am certified in EMDR, Meditation/mindfulness, and CBT. I have additional specializations in Addictions and ASD, and am trained in The Listening Program (www.advancedbrain.com). I enjoy helping people recover from anxiety, depression, social issues, gender identity issues and addictions ( and spiritual issues). I believe in the power of therapy and positive guidance.

Are you struggling with grief and loss? I can help. You may be experiencing waves of despair that are indescribable and feel overwhelming. I can help you navigate through such a difficult time. You deserve happiness. My goal is to work with you to meet your needs and to help you work through the pain towards healing. This is your first step to begin to heal and reconnect with yourself. I use evidenced-based techniques and interventions to help clients with not only grief, but also anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relational issues, and trauma.

When the relationships in our lives don't seem to be functioning well, we can be left feeling anxious, depressed, unsatisfied, and lost. I provide a safe environment for you to process and discover the cycles that may be occurring in your relationships, and how you can make changes for more fulfilling ones. My counseling background includes working with adults who are dealing with marital/relationship conflict, parenting/co-parenting issues, divorce, sexuality, and anxiety and depression. I also have a background in Career Counseling, and provide the full spectrum of Career Counseling including assessments.

Robert A. Feuer, MA, LCP, (Bob) is a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst with 35 years of clinical experience helping people change and grow to improve their lives and relationships. I am 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.

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).

I treasure helping clients with a sense of low worth and self esteem, and persons with a little tiny motivation to work toward a small, specific goal which they are responsible for, and can gain confidence about achieving. I enjoy helping organize feelings and thoughts into words to Name and Tame them, so they can feel accomplished and gain confidence about who they are, and what they claim is their own uniqueness. I like to help persons get off the "Blame and Shame" cycle of life to be more aware of themselves, and gain authenticity and respect.

Human behavior is complex. You search to solve your relational, family or mental health concerns and problems in one way or another. Some steps taken work better than others. My counseling work is designed around a study of the issues on your mind that concern you or others you care about. Together, we discover better, more balanced ways of addressing your concerns. You can feel better and in turn, be in better control of your life and the decisions you make.

Appointments for teens and adults are via telemedicine. Children, age 4-11, are in person. Are you depressed? Feel unable to get out of bed, paralyzed by fear or overwhelming heaviness? Do you wonder what happened to that happy couple you used to be? Do you have anxious thoughts keeping you awake, or draining your energy? You don't have to solve your problems by yourself. Get help in a safe environment where you can explore your feelings and devise a strategy to turn things around. Change happens when you actually do things differently.
