Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Kansas City, MO

Hi, I’m Hailee, a licensed clinical social worker at Small Victories. I work with adults and have experience working with people with anxiety, OCD, depression, bipolar, suicidal ideation, body image and self esteem issues. I aim to provide a safe environment where we can talk about anything you want to bring to the table. I want to support you and encourage you through the healing journey. I use a person centered approach in my therapy sessions and incorporate both CBT and DBT. I will meet you where you are and start the growing journey there.

Are you struggling with severe anxiety, grappling with how to climb out of the slippery slope of depression? Are you trying to cope with grief and loss? Are you trying to navigate complex life transitions and looking for a guide on how to overcome those challenges? If this sounds like something you'd like help with, I'd be honored to work alongside you to get back to feeling more like yourself so you can enjoy life again. Together, we can map out a plan for success to overcome worry, anxiety, life-stressors, and depressive thoughts. Lets set up an initial appointment to see if we make a great fit. I look forward to hearing from you!

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change" - Carl Rogers. Accepting difficult situations in life and moving towards change is a journey you don't have to face alone. I have 10+ years of experience working with adolescents and adults who struggle with a history of trauma, impulsivity, overwhelming emotions/emotional outbursts, feeling disconnected from others, poor relationships, poor sense of identity, thoughts of suicide and self-harm. These symptoms and behaviors are often a result of feeling unheard, invalidated and/or traumatic experiences.

Finding the right therapist for your child can be a stressful and exhausting process. It's important to find someone who is knowledgeable and is also able to create a space that feels comfortable and safe to allow your child to be vulnerable. As a therapist, I work hard to build a non-judgemental, trusting, accepting therapeutic connection with all of my clients. The therapy process is individualized and we will work together to identify and work towards your child's personalized goals so that they can feel like their best self!

Accepting new clients! I'm so glad you are here. The hardest part of getting help is reaching out to make that first appointment and you are one step closer. Childhood mental health issues have been rising for awhile now and we saw an even bigger increase the past few years. Not only are our children struggling, it is hard work learning to parent our children with mental health needs. Navigating depression, anxiety, mood swings, trauma, etc is not meant to be done alone. I believe in working alongside you, your child, and family as we tackle issues together.

I am here to help you navigate through the confusion and overwhelm to find the answers you need. Together through enhancing awareness, curiosity, patience and self compassion, we will capitalize on your strengths and resources so you can heal and work towards the change you desire.

Be gentle with yourself, you're doing the best you can. This sentence embraces the concept that at any given moment we are trying the best we can with the information and behaviors we have learned previously. I have found that this can give us some compassion for past behaviors that we would like to change. If we can explore change from a compassionate way we can increase our chances of success. If you feel motivated to change and grow, I would be honored to work alongside you as you implement healthy and long-lasting growth.

Pathway Counseling—finding the way back to you. As a dedicated therapist, I understand the complexities and struggles individuals face in navigating relational, existential, and social challenges. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each client's unique path. Whether you're grappling with struggling to establish meaningful connections, questioning the purpose of your existence, or feeling isolated in a social context, I am here to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for exploration and growth.

If you are looking for an “out of the box” type of counselor, then I would love to speak with you. Therapy is about meeting you where you are and if that means you need a listening ear as you process something deep, someone to help guide you to the best possible you, or someone who is going to hold you accountable than look no further, because that is exactly what you will get. Therapy is not one size fits all, so I use many different modalities of therapy to help you navigate life’s hills and valleys. I like to bring in my teachings from my Advanced Certified Hypnotherapist training.

Hello, my name is Caleb and the reason I love counseling is because It brings me immense joy to support people in their journey towards becoming the best versions of themselves. I strongly believe that people are inherently good, but life can be challenging and sometimes it can be difficult to see the good in ourselves. Although we cannot change our past circumstances or experiences.

Do you want to feel better? Do you want to have more satisfying relationships? Within the first session, you will feel more hope and more possibility. In time, you will see your life become fuller. A focus in treatment is to clarify inner issues and to establish a more mindful approach to daily life

There are few joys greater than interpersonal freedom. Living unabashedly and authentically as you deserve and desire. This is our true heritage as humans. When we are barraged daily to find this freedom externally by our culture, (perhaps friends and family) and then osmotically transfer it inward we are left deeply lacking. It never works. The cost of freedom and to a higher level of awareness about ourselves is called work. W-O-R-K! The digging deep kind of work. Working to let go of anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, or whatever repeatedly binds us to a negative narrative from the past that no longer serves the present.

You are mighty as hell – you don’t feel it right now, but it’s in you. Life has thrown some heavy challenges your way, and this sense of overwhelm never seems to relent. Whether you are experiencing loss, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety or a combination of it all – I’m here for it. You deserve to feel whole and mentally well. Through a warm and supportive relationship, I will help you explore your experiences and complex emotions - and get you to a place of confidence where you are free to authentically pursue connection and fulfillment.

Everyone experiences life stressors and at times, can become overwhelmed by them. I will work with you to help you navigate through the obstacles you are facing and hopefully overcome them. Whether you struggle with anxiety or depression, a particular life transition, or a more serious mental health condition, therapy can be beneficial for you. Let's work together to help you live your best life!
