Parenting Therapists in Andover, KS

Is your child or teen struggling with transitions? Does everything end up in a power struggle? Are they frequently anxious and angry? Maybe you have tried consequences, but those consequences are not working and setting firmer limits ends in more stress. Helping them regulate big emotions may be difficult for you and lead to frustration and confusion. I can support your child or teen in learning to regulate their emotions.

As a licensed therapist I have been practicing for over 20 years. I love my job and I love helping people. I enjoy helping those experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, life transition problems, parenting issues, self-esteem issues, and those recovering from trauma. I am trained in EMDR. If I can serve you, please give me a call today.

I believe that change is a process and with therapy, that process can be a smooth one. I focus on the positive and my belief is that everyone has an innate desire to improve themselves. My goal for therapy is to serve as a "mirror," in order to help people understand themselves more and to improve all relationships in their lives. I have 11 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families and couples to help them achieve success and to move forward.

I recognize that all families and individuals go through difficult times and believe in a strengths-based approach in helping clients achieve personal goals. I provide therapy services to individuals, couples, families, and children of all ages and enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I have worked along side clients dealing with a variety issues including: depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting issues, self-esteem, stress-management and relationship issues as well as families struggling to handle life transitions or going through divorce. I recognize the needs of each client are different and work to create a warm environment best suited for each person.

I provide psychotherapy services for individuals, couples, and families to address issues related to marriage, relationships with others, parenting, depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, isolation, stress, and personal/spiritual growth. Taking a collaborative goal oriented approach, I walk alongside each individual, couple and family in the process of finding healing from the past, peace in the present, and hope for the future.

Glad you are taking this first step! I work with patients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, & more. Symptoms are not one size fits all & your therapy experience shouldn't be either. You deserve therapy that's unique to you & we'll work together to achieve that. I also have a passion for providing support to caregivers, having been a caregiver to my mom who had Alzheimer's & being a parent to a child with special needs. I'm intimately familiar with how rewarding, but also challenging, it can be. Whether caring for an aging parent, disabled spouse, or a child, you deserve to have a place of refuge & support!

From a young age I wanted to be a therapist. My goal is to be the therapist that I needed as a child and an adult. Someone who would not only listen but really hear me, would be able to relate to me and offer skills, guidance and support to help me learn how to improve all areas of my life. Let me help you find the skills, knowledge and support you to improve your relationships, your responses, your understanding to reach success in your life. We will create a treatment plan together to help guide you to reach your goals. Setbacks happen, nobody is perfect. When they do happen, we will work through and figure out ways to modify.

Taking the first step to connect with a therapist can seem overwhelming. My priority as a therapist is to help you feel safe and comfortable as we build a therapeutic relationship together. No matter what you may be going through, I am here to help you work through it so you can live a healthy, happy life. My work experience has allowed me the opportunity to work with clients who have experienced familial and interpersonal problems related to parenting issues, mental health, addiction, domestic violence, and trauma. If you find yourself struggling with life, please know you are not alone and things can get better!

Sometimes it’s hard for your child or teenager to open up to you. Under the surface, they may be struggling more than it appears. Or their outbursts make it apparent that something is not right. It takes courage to acknowledge that your child is struggling and that you are not able to resolve their issues on your own. It takes even more courage to reach out for help. I can help your child or teenager through traditional talk therapy or play therapy, using a person-centered approach to find and give help for any assessed needs. It takes a village to raise a child, so let me help you with yours.

Do you have a challenge in your life you'd like to work through with a professional? I see individuals, families, and couples through insurance and private pay, with scheduling often available in the same week. I am able to see adult clients in-person or via telehealth, depending on the client’s needs and abilities.

Are you an older or younger adult battling life challenges, relationship issues & personal development? Do you have a young child/children struggling to fit in, isolating, and making poor choices? I am a Black/African American therapist who provides therapy to toddlers, young children & teenagers ages 3 - 17, and adults. I tailored my practice to meet clients where they are, providing them with a non-judgmental environment to do so. I have noticed this approach has proven successful in helping clients of all ages and backgrounds feel comfortable sharing. Primarily the BIPOC (black/brown, indigenous, people of color) community.

I believe all people were created with dignity and worth for relationships as beautiful masterpieces that are fragmented by both small and large traumas due to the brokenness of our world. My passion is to walk alongside others in their healing, equipping them with the tools they need to address their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual goals in pursuing restoration and wholeness. My Christian faith lays the foundation to offer acceptance, grace, freedom, and confident hope for healing. My approach to therapy utilizes Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and somatic work, and is systemic in focus.

We can all use a little extra help at times. Those who are truly wise make sure to have trusted people in their lives who can help them see new options they might have missed. Using a strengths-based approach to therapy, I enjoy helping clients reclaim power in their lives and discover a path through their struggles that they may have never noticed before. I am passionate about working with couples, families, and individuals who are experiencing concerns related to depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma, binge-eating, grief & traumatic loss, relationship conflict, parenting, divorce, personality disorders, pain, faith, & aging concerns.

I specialize in working with ages 15 and up. I offer a non-judgmental space that allows clients to express themselves and be open in session. I started as an educator and then a high school counselor prior to branching off into private practice. I enjoy helping individuals work through their difficult times and grow into who they desire to be. I don’t believe that a person needs “fixed” but more that you just need support while you grow and shift during a challenging time. I also enjoy helping couples reconnect and learn how to be the best partner they can be while keeping communication and intimacy intact.

I enjoy working with children ages 3 and up. I have experience working with anxiety, adoption/foster care, depression, ADHD, trauma, behavior issues, and life changes. I value partnering with caregivers to find effective and practical ways to support their children.

Hello! I believe the order and steps taken in therapy matter, walking through issues at your pace and in your timing. I work toward: integration of the person as a whole, considering and working through ineffective patterns and beliefs, walking up to, and developing skills to regulate emotionally and working to rewire/reprogram the ineffective neurological pathways established in the brain.

Whether you are dealing with general life challenges or issues specifically related to being a woman, I can help. My goal is to help women become empowered. I believe we can change how we live by changing how we think. We can change our negative self-thoughts and unhealthy behaviors, learn how to express ourselves in an assertive way and set healthy boundaries, overcome trauma and move from surviving to thriving, change how we relate to others and improve our relationships, improve our body image, make healthy choices, learn how to manage/overcome anxiety or depression or anything else that is keeping us from reaching our potential.

Life can be tough! Do you feel like you had it all together & then someone pulled the rug from under you? Maybe you have previously experienced trauma & thought you moved past it. Now you find yourself feeling frustrated, isolated, & alone. Maybe you are finding yourself triggered by your kids, partner, parents, or friends. You love them, but the stressors have caused you to want to take a month-long vacation from them! You have tried dealing with your anxiety, anger, stress, all on your own but find yourself struggling to manage day to day responsibilities and stay afloat - yelling too much, working too much.

Feeling overwhelmed, sad, frustrated, or anxious? Do you want to get better, but wonder if you can and where to start? It's hard when you feel like a situation has become more than you can handle, or what you have been doing to cope isn't working anymore. You are not alone and I'm here to help. Our work together can help you improve your relationships, gain new perspectives, feel better about yourself, develop healthier coping, and stabilize your mood. One of my greatest joys is witnessing growth and change. I provide a safe and confidential space, and I would be honored to collaborate with you to help you meet your personal goals.
