Humanistic Therapists in Lees Summit, MO

I believe we all have the right to our own belief systems but often times sharing those with someone who is a complete stranger can be intimidating. I offer you a safe space to be YOU. I am a spiritual being that is open to embracing dialogue around non-traditional ways of thinking and believing. Because the client-therapist is an important relationship, my goal is to provide a high-quality service to you that includes quick and responsive communication as well as a huge library of resources to give you the tools you need for an action based and humanistic therapy process. I enjoy working with women and couples!

Hello! congrats on starting one of the most difficult first steps of healing: finding a therapist that is a good fit for you. Starting therapy can feel like such an overwhelming process. Looking through pages of therapists trying to gauge if they can understand you and what you’ve been through, worrying if you will be judged for your decisions, reactions, thoughts, or history. If you are feeling any of that, you are definitely not alone.

I am licensed in MO and KS allowing me to offer telehealth sessions throughout both states and in-person sessions for individuals in the KC metro. Available for immediate day and evening appointments. For over 15 years, I have worked primarily with adults to help create long-term change, healing and transformation, instead of temporary band-aids. This is done by building a relationship that provides safety and acceptance, and ultimately promotes change, as well as using the tools and techniques that best fit the circumstance.

I work with people who want to experience a journey of 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, sexuality / relationship issues or exploring 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 May 2023, I have a few openings for new clients.

I am only seeing clients virtually at this time. I have gravitated toward working with people who have experienced trauma, anxiety and depressive issues. I provide a judgment-free, supportive setting and aid the client in identifying their own inner strengths to help them find solutions to whatever difficulties they are experiencing. People want to feel safe and valued and I believe I can help with this. I believe people want quality services at a reasonable price. I can provide this as well.

Hello! I am a LMFT/ LCMFT licensed in IN, KS and MO. I have a virtual practice and in person office in Lee's Summit, MO. My approach is focused on building tools, language, habits and behavior that supports a connection between the cognitive mind and the emotional self in order to create a sustainable deep change. I am an attentive non judgmental observer of the unique skills you bring to the table and a creative problem solver in applying them to stuck areas. This approach has lasting impacts on your relationship with partners, children, friends, work, activism and self.

Welcome! You did it. You are here. You are already on your way. My name is Hannah and I am here to support you in your journey toward healing, meaning, and hope. Therapy is an opportunity to gain insight and improve your mental and emotional wellness. I am open to sharing my skill sets and working alongside you to provide support on your journey to unpack and discover the ways in which you can thrive and come home to yourself. I work primarily with children, adolescents, and women coping with anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and relationship issues.

I work with adults and teens age 14+ on problems ranging from getting over a breakup to overcoming a lifetime of trauma. I use humor and compassion alongside technique and knowledge to help clients calm their thoughts, develop meaningful connections with others, and resolve even long-standing problems. I use concepts from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and psychodynamic techniques to identify and challenge damaging thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors, ultimately helping clients create a story of themselves that is authentic and empowering.

I work with adults, couples, and families who face challenges related to the stress of modern living as well as traumatic experiences, including complex trauma histories. My clients often come to me with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress. I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting, and coping with grief and loss.

It sometimes feels easier to seek support for physical challenges than for emotional ones, especially if we are used to thinking that we should be able to handle our feelings and challenges on our own. It can feel intimidating and stressful to reach out for help when you may not have the words for the challenge you're facing. I want you to know that you are not alone, and reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Just as we take swimming lessons before going into the deep end of a pool, we all need help learning how to navigate the deepest challenges of life. I offer a welcoming, safe space for learning and healing.

I understand that we all need a little help sometimes. Whether you’re going through an issue that’s been troubling you for an extended period of time or through situational trauma, I can give you the assistance you need. I provide a safe environment for clients to be themselves by utilizing unconditional positive regard and a warm, caring nature.

Visiting with a counselor can be a life changing experience. I work with clients from early childhood through all phases of adulthood. Everyone has a unique story, and I value the personal experiences, hopes, and dreams of all my clients. Partnering during a trusting counseling relationship can be one of the best ways to reach your goals and create lasting, positive change in your life. The relationship between counselor and client can create a vessel or space in which we can unpack and sort through your concerns with care, compassion, and confidentiality.

Do your find yourself struggling with negative emotions such as worry, sadness, or irritability? Do you need help changing your current ways of coping with stress or challenges? Do you struggle with continual feelings of low self-esteem? My goal is to help you feel more centered, capable, and confident as you learn to cope with negative feelings and habits in a more self-supporting manner. I specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety and eating disorders. I also work with individuals who struggle with relationship issues.

Are you feeling depressed? Anxious? Isolated? Do you feel like your friends are not really friends, or that your real friends are states or even countries away? Would you rather watch the newest episode of Dota on Netflix, doodle, or prepare your next D&D session than interact with your peers or family? You've been dropped into a world where you don't always get to make decisions, and that sucks. You don't control what really piques your interest or what skills you naturally have. Sometimes it feels like you're walking through life like Midoriya hoping your quirk will show up and your dreams and aspirations will come true.
