I've provided therapy services for adults, teens, and children for over 8 years. I've found that the individuals who seem to flourish working with me are those who are particularly committed to understanding themselves and their struggles at a deeper level. I work to help facilitate meaningful insights and this often includes exploration of earlier relationships in a client's life. I believe that each person I work with is a unique and complex individual needing services tailored to them.

Asking for help is huge step. It takes courage and a willingness to hope for change. This journey towards health and wellness requires honesty and openness. It is not always easy, and working with a professional who is the right fit for you offers a solid foundation from which to start that journey. I am passionate about mental health and wellness. Whether I am working with kids, teens, adults, partners, or families, I believe in journeying alongside my clients as a guide and support as they discover what drives them and works best to bring change and growth.

For 30yrs, I have had the distinct privilege of working with hundreds of traumatized clients, couples, & fellow mental health professionals. Though many are shattered by grave emotional injuries, they find a way to rise up, face themselves and others, heal bravely, and transform their lives. With my clients, I hope to forge a close, safe, & collaborative relationship where clients may achieve significant emotional growth. To do so, clients & I identify treatment strategies that heal wounds, resolve symptoms, change behaviors, cultivate a strong voice, revive joy, engage authenticity, & support courageous, wholehearted living.

Hope filled counseling to help relieve issues and improve your day. Many people have very fast paced lives and feel overwhelmed while others have low energy and feel stuck. Take that step and let me help you improve. Many clients and families have found relief from anxiety, depression, job stress, and life transitions by participating in counseling. I focus on building a supportive relationship with the client to increase the effectiveness of counseling. From a previous client "Scott has been wonderful to work with. He is encouraging and his support helped me rediscover purpose in my life."

Now accepting new clients! I'm Kimberly and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist located in Downtown Lee's Summit. I work with teens (17+), individual adults, and couples. I often work with clients that are struggling with depression, anxiety, difficult relationship dynamics, grief & loss, stress & burnout, or life transitions such as high school seniors, college students, young professionals, pre-marital couples, expecting and new parents. I am trained in EMDR, which may be helpful in healing from trauma and other experiences that have been difficult to move past.

I am a specialist who works with adults and teens ages 14+ on intense anxiety, trauma and complex trauma, dissociation, and personality disorders. My clients come in saying they feel numb and irritable or outright angry at the world. Many wonder if they have ADHD or are on the spectrum. On their worst days, they feel like they are in constant fight or flight mode and teetering on collapse. They want to be able to authentically connect with others and to feel peace and contentment, but are not sure how. Most importantly, my clients want to solve their problems, stop repetitive patterns, and move on with with their lives.

Asking for help can be difficult. We often think "I should be able to handle my problems myself". However, everyone needs support at some point in their lives. A major crisis, a life transition, loss, job stress, relationship problems, emotional needs, our past interfering with our present, or everyday stressors become too much to deal with alone. We forget our strengths and become isolated, depressed, angry, or make poor choices.

I have significant experience working with high school and college age students with their individual issues and helping their families work through family conflicts that arise during these developmental years. In the process of this, I have worked extensively with persons experiencing anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, identity issues, self-harm, bullying and interpersonal conflict. By virtue of working with families in these developmental stages, I also am asked to do pre-marital and marital therapy for a variety of age groups.
