Domestic Abuse Therapists in Kansas City, MO
Therapy is a collaboration where we discover creative solutions to your problems, find strong clarity, and discover your truth and powerful, inner voice. I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit and the ability we all have to rise above adversity and intentionally craft our lives. My approach is eclectic and I use solution-focused, evidence-based methods in addition to traditional modalities such as mindfulness and somatic practices. Therapy isn't about finding out what is "wrong" with you. At the heart of it, it is about learning, understanding, and discovering the beauty and courage that has been inside all along.

I specialize in three types of clients - people who have been through so much transition that they often don't recognize themselves in the mirror, bilingual couples holding on by a thread, and people whose lives have plunged into chaos and need a guide to help them get their bearings.

In a world full of judgment, we need someone we can be vulnerable with. We need someone we can talk to about the uncomfortable thoughts and emotions associated with fears and insecurities. We need someone we can bounce ideas off of to find perspective. In a world full of judgment, we need a nonjudgmental someone who can be kind, empathetic, and psychological educated to help us grow in self and life contentment. My 32 years of cosmetology and services industry work, along with my achievement of honors in both my BA and MA, has allowed me to build acceptance, wisdom, perspective, and awareness in my therapeutic approach.

I welcome any problem a person is having, but have special interest and training in the areas of addiction (substances, gambling, sex, eating, gaming, etc.) and substance abuse/dependence.
Making the decision to seek help is the the first step towards living a healthier, happier life. The second step is finding the right therapist. I believe that success in therapy is dependent on the strength of the relationship between the counselor and client. I view myself as an advocate, a catalyst for change, and an objective sounding board, rather than an expert who can listen to your problems for an hour and then magically know how to run your life better than you do. You are the expert on you! My job is to help you learn how to help yourself.

My commitment to mental health is rooted in a belief that even in the most difficult circumstances, people possess the capacity to find meaning, resilience, and direction in their lives. I have always been drawn to understanding how individuals make sense of hardship—how loss, trauma, and uncertainty can either keep us stagnated in pain or become a catalyst for growth. As a practitioner my role is to walk alongside individuals during their personal quests, helping them explore their experiences, find meaning in suffering, and rediscover a sense of purpose.

The Feelings Brother EMDR and Relational

Serves Area
Serving: KS, MO & FL clients. I am an African-American clinician whose work is deeply rooted in serving Black and Brown communities, as well as individuals who live in close proximity to or are shaped by these cultural realities. I approach therapy with the understanding that our psychological wounds are not created in a vacuum. Historical trauma, systemic oppression, cultural expectations, masculinity norms, faith traditions, and survival strategies all shape how distress shows up in our lives. These factors make our experiences meaningfully different from those of the general population—and they deserve to be understood as such.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach for good therapy. Instead, I believe in weaving together the experiences that shape us, the stories we tell, and the knowledge we’ve gained along the way. At One Stitch, I offer evidence-based treatments for overcoming life’s big challenges, from complex trauma/PTSD to grieving what didn’t happen and the paths not taken. I start with getting to know you, forming a meaningful therapeutic alliance. I help you by increasing your toolbox of adaptive coping skills and reprocessing trauma memories so they live in the past, where they belong (back there, back then) instead of burdening your present.

My approach to therapy is relational and trauma informed. That means that we will absolutely talk about the difficult things, but I will also use humor, empathy, and genuine human connection to make that experience feel safe. I want to help my clients begin to understand their nervous systems and their response to trauma and stress.
I work often with individuals who have experienced sexual, religious, or childhood trauma. I utilize EMDR, an evidence based modality, to help clients reprocess traumatic experiences. My approach is integrative, with an emphasis on somatic and holistic care.

Hey there, thanks for checking out my page.
Maybe you're thinking that it's time to reassess things and invite some change into your life. Or maybe you're ready to reconnect with yourself, find safety within, and discover new ways to engage with the world. Perhaps you want to shift your perspective and allow space for difficult emotions and memories. Not so you can continue to fear them, but so you can move through them and leave them behind.
I get it, change feels scary. Believe it or not, you have the power within you to move forward, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk with you.

My background is in treating people with trauma, CPTSD/PTSD, domestic abuse, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and relationships/attachment issues.
Do you ever feel like your life is really hard and falling apart all around you and you don’t know why? Are you haunted by trauma memories, anxiety or depression? I am here to help you understand what is happening and why. I have spent years working with people to help them understand what has happened in their life that causes them to repeat patterns and keep getting stuck in the same relationships or traumatic situations or to process through painful experiences. After working with me, my clients are better able to understand themselves and the patterns that they get into and are able to shift into more self lead places.

Let's work together and build up your strategies to manage life's stressors. Different seasons of life offer unique challenges to us all. I like to think of a session with me as us walking together talking and building on your strengths while discussing any new learning opportunities or challenging situations that have crossed your path. Life can be hard and no one should have to feel as if they have to take this walk alone. My ideal clients are far from perfect and are still more than good enough. I specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma. I enjoy helping others with healthy conflict resolution skills.

When your child struggles, you feel his pain as your own. At first, you thought he was just an emotional kid, but now you’re beginning to worry something deeper is going on. His sudden outbursts at school and inconsolable crying at home leave you at a loss. You and your husband are physically and emotionally exhausted. His teachers and schoolmates don’t understand his behavior, and you’re afraid he’s becoming isolated. You want to ensure he has the tools and communication skills because your family can’t go on like this. If he has an underlying issue, you want to ensure he has the proper support to navigate it.
