Therapists in Prairie Village, KS

Do you struggle in your life with strong reactions to events that seem out of your control? Do you find yourself captured by anger, upset, fear, or anxiety? Have you wanted to find a way to take the difficult things that have happened in your life and somehow have them set a foundation for you to have a better, less critical connection with yourself and others around you? I know how hard it is to make real changes that will lead to lasting peace, joy and effectiveness. I also know that it is absolutely possible to change course and rebuild.

So, here you are looking for some help. Well done--as it is often a challenge, beginning to look for options/help. It is no small task getting beyond where you are, and then moving toward what you want. Sorting it all out can feel overwhelming, just like actually making that first call to a therapist. I applaud your courage and wisdom in sorting it out and in seeking assistance. I would love to be a part of helping you discover this process, and to share some of your upcoming journey. When you are ready, please give me a call. I am right here.

Hi, I’m Kelsey & I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve been a counselor since 2019 and I love creating places for emerging/young adults (age 18-30) to pursue personal goals and/or talk about the hard parts of life (current and past). I'm usually described as having a warm, casual demeanor.

I am a holistic and somatic therapist. There are times in life where we get stuck; locked in traumas of the past, or fearful of things to come. Our body tells us we’re on the wrong path through anxiety, disordered eating, conflict in our relationships, GI problems, and other adverse symptoms. In therapy, I help you discover what your body is telling you. Through Somatic Experiencing, you’ll learn how to heal the intensity of your experience of past events that keeps you feeling overwhelmed and settle your nervous system in the here and now. For those seeking nutritional psychology this is used to improve anxiety & other symptoms.

Life can often feel painful, overwhelming and lonely. If you are feeling emotionally disconnected from your spouse or partner, struggling with feelings of sadness and anxiety, or suffering from past wounds, I am committed to helping you find balance and restoration. I am experienced in working with individuals, couples and families in all stages of life to foster individual healing, repair and strengthen relationships, and help shed the effects of abuse, loss, and other traumas. My goal is to cultivate a safe and supportive environment for you to process and grow, enabling you to live life with fullness and meaning.

Are you feeling frustrated in an important relationship? Have you lost your sense of purpose and direction in your career or life in general? Would you like to master the tools and skills that lead to more satisfaction, stability and success in life and love? Your relationship with yourself and others can make or break your ability to experience a rich, rewarding life. I help men—and the women who love them—learn the tools and master the skills necessary to strengthen their relationships and pursue their dreams.

I am here to be a compassionate, non-judgmental witness to any human that needs one. I believe a strong, collaborative relationship between client and therapist is important to helping you grow and heal. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR trained. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, with an emphasis on trauma-work and sexual assault. I have experience working with couples, families, and individuals. I am also mindful of my clients’ intersectional and multicultural identities and how that may influence our work together.

Do you find yourself stuck in a pattern of self criticism and doubt? Do you want to go from people-pleasing to authentic? Overly critical to accepting? My clients describe themselves as "perfectionists" and "people pleasers" that have high expectations of themselves. I work with anxious clients to help them learn the skills needed to create a fulfilling and balanced life. I specialize and love working with women who aren't feeling connected with themselves and in their relationships. Women who have been taught to strive for a perfect life, but find themselves anxious, irritable, and overall unfulfilled.

You want to improve your relationship without spending months in therapy. You want to make significant changes with a therapist to whom you feel a connection. You wish you could be content, happy, engaged, and connected with your partner like you used to be. Perhaps porn or infidelity has devastated your relationship. Or, you feel unhappy, disconnected, stuck, and hopeless in other ways. Maybe you're experiencing conflict resolution difficulty, intimacy and sexuality issues, parenting disagreements, or financial conflicts. Gottman Therapy is the gold standard of couples therapy for a reseached-based reason.

Has anxiety, depression, relational struggles, and loneliness been plaguing you or perhaps your child or adolescent? These struggles are everywhere, but where are the solutions found? I believe that I can help you take steps toward the solution through learning about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how each is interconnected and impacting your mental health! I have a passion to work with teens and children who are struggling to find a voice to express what is going on inside. My services are not limited to children, as I am also passionate about helping adults give a voice to their inner struggle.

My blended background in Psychology and Education has enhanced my passion & desire to help children, adolescents & families achieve healthy functioning in all aspects of their lives. I believe the promotion of child wellness & growth is built upon the foundation of familial support and the development of a strong sense of self. My therapeutic style focuses on identifying patterns of behavior, helping to establish and develop supportive relationships, reducing symptoms of anxiety/distress & promoting healthy self-esteem. I develop interventions to meet the specific needs and goals of each client and family.

As someone who is grieving or suffering through a life transition, you often find yourself wondering will I feel better, can I feel better? It seems like you’ve tried everything but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long. Imagine what it would feel like to move forward, what would it be like if your life wasn’t controlled by your pain? A life transition can be planned or unplanned, positive or negative. They may be dramatic as in accidents, death, divorce, job loss or serious illness or can come from positive experiences such as getting married, going away to college, starting a new job, moving away or giving birth.

Hi and welcome! For starters, reaching out for help isn’t easy, so if you’re here, I commend you. It takes courage and bravery to ask for help! I am a believer that relationships heal, but also realize that often our closest relationships can cause a lot of pain. If you’re dealing with past hurts, difficulty with trust, trying to measure up, and struggling to communicate, I am here to help. How we view ourselves, others, and the world influences how we navigate day to day life and can leave us feeling stressed, overwhelmed, sad, down, hopeless, and uncertain about the future.

I have extensive experience and training in family therapy. I manage issues with kids, teens and blended families. I am also very experienced in dealing with a variety of mental health issues (Including issues on the Spectrum and ADHD), and issues concerning school academics. I treat substance abuse issues among teens and adults. I also utilize a variety of techniques to help married couples and those couples dealing with divorce and sexual issues. As a former College athlete, I can help those experiencing anxiety and pressures in a variety of sports.

There are times in life we all feel overwhelmed, trying to manage the intense symptoms of anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and grief. Emotional pain can be so intense and debilitating that, at times, it can seem like it will never end. The truth is difficult times will pass and we can get through them if we let ourselves. I am here to help support you through these uncertain and stressful times. With all the latest news regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, everything feels so uncertain. We are all challenged in different ways through this and can feel very isolated and alone.

Most people go through periods when they need extra support and guidance. I care about you and helping you to move beyond the difficulties you are currently facing. I provide therapy in a safe, unbiased, and nonjudgmental environment. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Kansas. I have a MS in Counseling Psychology, a graduate certification in Child and Adolescent Psychology from Avila University, and a BS in Developmental Psychology from the University of Kansas. I work with all age groups and specialize in Anxiety, Depression, Adjustment disorders, and Trauma.

No matter what has brought you to this place, change is possible. You may feel exhausted on the hamster wheel of anxiety or stuck in a pit of depression. You may be grieving a life that you used to know and struggling to find your new footing. You may just feel stagnant and in need of a fresh perspective. If therapy is the next right thing for you, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in uncovering the path forward as you discover more “next right things.”
