Therapists in Manhattan, KS

I'm a mental health therapist who assists people to feel better and function more effectively in their lives. My skills cultivate the intrinsic, lasting mental health that is in each person. I also help people resolve psychological trauma so that it no longer negatively affects their life. I lean toward methods like mindfullness based stress reduction and acceptance and commitment therapy to cultivate innate mental health in each client. I also use Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to resolve trauma. I expect you will find our relationship together to have unconditional positive regard, openness, curiosity, wisdom and compassion.

Still Water Counseling, located in Manhattan, Kansas, provides individual counseling services that are grounded in compassion and neuroscience. Founded in 2023 by Tysha Osborne, MS, LCMFT, Still Water Counseling specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma/PTSD, dissociation, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, personality and mood disorders, marital difficulties, and grief and loss issues. I am invested in working with clients interested in learning skills to manage issues presented and invested in cultivating change in behaviors.

Not all clients arrive to therapy with the same issues or the same rooting point, so therapy needs to be unique to each individual. I provide a space to establish how clients see therapy happening and I am there to help guide the process in a healthy manner. The space belongs to the client, not me.

My belief is that a safe therapeutic alliance is the facilitator of change and growth. There are many struggles that might impact a person’s reasoning for seeking therapy. I provide a supportive environment, focused on providing empathy and non-judgment. I utilize our relationship as the base for self-empowerment, modeling, and growth. Throughout therapy, I encourage self-reflection and asking questions about one’s treatment. I want to promote one’s self-advocacy, emotional intelligence, and understanding of self.

I specialize in working with: Trauma, PTSD, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Body Image, Perfectionism, low self-esteem, sexual abuse and ADHD. I utilize EMDR, DBT, CBT, self-compassion, mindfulness, and somatic therapies. For over a decade, I have been honored to play a role in my clients’ healing journey. I provide individual counseling services to individuals ages 25 and over. I practice through a trauma-informed, holistic, neuroscience lens, helping you to put words to what you are experiencing and learn how to understand the sensations you feel in your body, your emotions, and your thoughts.

Trauma is common and over half of all people will have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. It does not have to continue to disrupt life. My mission is to help people find their power again and move past their trauma so they can live their best life in accordance with their values and goals and fully live and enjoy their lives. I use trauma informed care first and foremost along with a blend of other modalities in order to help clients find their own strength in managing their symptoms, learning self-compassion, and regaining their internal locus of control.

Therapy is about making a personal connection for change. Over 30 years as a family psychologist I've logged some 31,000 hours face-to-face with teens, young adults, couples and families on issues ranging from life adjustment to major psychological disorders. I am a certified sex therapist (AASECT) and Board Certified in Couples and Family Psychology (ABPP). I'm equally comfortable with straight and LGBTQ clients. Please check my website for further details on my training, experience, books and scope of practice.

Many people show up to therapy believing that there's something wrong with them or that they are the problem. Let me assure you that you aren't "crazy."

Whether you're struggling with your mental health, connecting with your partner(s) or family members, or job related distress; we're here to help. The therapists at KCCD will always see you as a human rather than just a diagnosis. We understand that life (and our relationships) can feel overwhelming, and we're here to support you in overcoming any obstacle.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of anxiety, depression, or strained relationships? Do you find yourself struggling to meet the expectations of others, wondering if you'll ever find relief? In today's world, where depression, loneliness, and financial stress are on the rise, it's essential to seek support promptly. As a clinical social worker with a dedication to helping individuals, married couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, I'm here to provide comprehensive support to navigate these difficulties together.

"I work with each client to develop a treatment approach that meets their goals and individual requirements. I believe that people are more than a diagnosis or static label and my work places an emphasis on the person with a challenge rather than simply focus on the challenge alone. The therapeutic process is more than helping a person to develop positive thinking or an optimistic attitude, but involves helping the person gain an understanding of how they can approach the world to obtain the greatest satisfaction from their relationships, their work and their life in general."
