Interpersonal Therapists in Hoyt, KS

Hello! I am a Licensed Psychologist practicing at Stonestreet & Associates in Topeka, KS. I earned my Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology and have experience working with a diverse set of individuals and problems including anxiety, panic, OCD, mood disorders, thought disorders, life adjustment difficulties, and relationship issues. Therapy is typically not a quick fix, so I gravitate toward working with individuals who are motivated to be active participants in the therapy process to learn skills that create lasting change.

Just surviving is a far cry from a truly thriving existence. When every day feels hard and you find yourself tethered to the past and to your pain, you begin doing whatever it takes to "just get by." There is more than that available to you and you deserve better. Maybe you’re not stuck but are just in transition to the thriving life that you deserve. We will provide the support you need to move into your best life. We would be honored to work with you as you progress toward your goals. We know seeking therapy is a difficult decision to make, but our professional experience has taught us that no one ever regrets taking the journey.

Hi! My name is Shannon and welcome you to searching for a therapist to start this journey. Taking this first step is difficult and hope I can help lessen the nerves by bringing authenticity and empathy to each session. I strive to develop a strong relationship with my clients by providing a safe and caring environment as I feel the client/therapist relationship is the foundation for change.

Kendall provides a dynamic, relationally focused, integrated approach to the treatment of substance-related disorders, addiction, and other commonly co-occurring disorders. She believes that the duality that has historically existed in the substance abuse/addiction field and the broader mental health field impedes client outcomes. She aids clients in gaining insight into the function of addiction in their lives, enhancing distress tolerance, and developing adaptive coping mechanisms. She emphasizes the ongoing cultivation of supportive, differentiated, interpersonal relationships to enhance prognosis for long-term recovery.

Are you feeling gloomy, stuck or unmotivated? Do you find it difficult to shut your thoughts off at night because of scattered thoughts? Does the harmony in your love relationship need a reset? Is achieving work-life balance difficult? Are you transitioning out of a relationship and want support? Perhaps you are a survivor of narcissistic abuse by a partner, parent or employer? Whatever it is, your goal for happiness is important and it's OK to receive care on your journey.

Trauma can impact anyone. We all have experienced it, or know someone who has. You are not alone.

Using empowerment and strengths, I'm passionate about assisting clients in finding their voice, determining their wants and needs, and developing confidence in making effective changes. You can contact me through the psychology today links or through my website below.

As we go through life it can be challenging and stressful. There are so many pressures that cause a person to feel like giving up hope, feeling disconnected, unmotivated, alone, fearful, and even scared. I am here to help people discover and develop skills to address those hardships and not feel so alone.

I am passionate about working with children and adolescents going through life transitions, managing anxiety/depression and other mental health symptoms, interpersonal relationship difficulties, and processing grief/loss. I also value working with individuals desiring to overcome personal challenges and mental health symptoms. I believe in the importance of working with my clients to compose integrative therapeutic interventions tailored to meet to meet each client’s needs.

Why would anyone choose to open up to a complete stranger about pain and difficulty that is intensely personal? We often keep our problems to ourselves - for lots of understandable reasons - until we hit a wall and, in the 11th hour of fleeting hope, the hurt propels us to reach out for help. I am no different; I’ve been there before, and my passion is meeting people in the hour of greatest need to offer help and hope. I would be honored to speak with you about working together for healing, growth, and transformation.

I believe psychotherapy is a mixture of psychoeducation (providing information to help people develop new coping and relationship skills), emotional processing (learning to identify and work through uncomfortable feelings), and corrective emotional experience (using the counseling relationship as a safe place to experiment with new interpersonal skills). I utilize a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (addressing how our thoughts and beliefs impact our emotional experience, self-image, and behavior); Family Systems Therapy (helping people gain insight into characteristic relationship patterns); and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (understanding how ways of coping developed earlier in life may not serve us well in the present).

Are you experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, panic, worry, fear or ruminating thoughts? Sometimes balancing life, school, work, family commitments, relationships, even our own expectations just push us to a point where we feel out of control or overwhelmed. Do you have a desire or need to make lasting changes for yourself, to improve your relationships and make positive changes?

I enjoy working with all individuals (ages 12+) on all aspects of their mental wellbeing. Clients looking for a space to express themselves and explore values will always be welcome. We all find ourselves struggling at times, and being able to talk through issues and identify strengths can be transformative. I have worked with clients on anxiety, depression, gender identity, suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors, interpersonal conflict, life transitions, personality disorders, and family relationships.

Do you find yourself on the outside of the life you wish you were living? Are feelings of anxiety, stress, or depression blocking your way? Are you struggling with relationship, family issues, or the continuing pain of traumatic events? You don’t have to find your way forward alone. Healing requires connection, and a space for validation.
