Therapists in Overland Park, KS

You're smart, successful, and seem to have it all together...yet you've lost track of who you are and what you're feeling. You wear this emotional mask on the outside, but your internal feelings and conflict tell a different story. Perhaps you're the one everyone counts on: family, friends, significant other, coworkers. Or maybe you're just feeling saturated by the stress and demands of life. Either way, you feel alone and overwhelmed. You're not sure who will understand you since you can't make sense of it yourself. Self-care is not your norm, but you've come to realize something's gotta give. It is time for a change.

Accepting new clients as of May 6, 2024! It's not easy to reach out for help, you're already taking a brave step towards healing. Change can be scary, even thinking about processing it may feel insurmountable. You might be feeling different emotions right now—maybe you're overwhelmed, nervous, lonely, or scared. Whatever you're going through, I want you to know that you're not alone. Together, we'll work on understanding yourself better, and build resilience.

Therapy helps you to create the life you want. Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, the loss of a loved one, grief, past trauma, or major life changes? Are you feeling unsure about the future, or caught in a rut and worried things won't get better? Therapy is a process of self-discovery and growth. Are you ready to focus on building the new, instead of fighting the old? Together, we will identify the thoughts, behaviors, and emotions keeping you from having genuine happiness and contentment in your life.

It takes courage to open our mouths and let out the words and emotions that terrify us, but that’s how we start to reclaim ourselves. It’s a sacred moment, when a client tells me “I’ve never said this out loud before”, yet there they are, spilling their pain and trusting me to hold it safely and carefully. It’s the moment when they realize they are not alone, that their story does matter.

As a therapist, I am here to walk with you into the unknown, to listen to your experiences, life changes, tragedies and joys; endeavoring to view life through your eyes…to listen, without judgement, to what it’s like to walk in your shoes…to offer support, a listening ear and to strategize together ways to grow, cope & continue your journey forward in life.

Are you feeling stuck? Has stress, depression, or anxiety, taken over your life? Are you struggling in your relationships, at work, or feeling negative towards yourself? Have you tried other therapists and struggled to find a good fit? I have special training with mood disorders, personality disorder diagnoses and anxiety. I can also help with management of shock trauma and/or childhood trauma including trauma bonding, sexual assault, addiction and pervasive feelings of self hate. Lets connect! I am here to help. Lets connect!

This season of life feels intense and you're unsure where to turn, and even less sure what you'd say to someone who asked you how you're doing. You pause for a moment and if you answered honestly you'd say you're overwhelmed or burnt out or stressed. Maybe you'd say that you could really use a friend right now. If you were brave, you'd say that this season has been rough; that your emotions are taking up more space than you know how to manage; that your marriage is rocky and you don't know how to heal it; that you simply don't feel heard, understood, or seen; that you wish your parent's would "get you"; that you felt less alone.

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

Hello! I’m Aaron and I am passionate about helping you find greater expansiveness, security and joy in your life. I use Somatic Experiencing to help trauma heal, fight/flight/freeze responses to complete and to bring balance to your emotional life. I am also certified in psychoanalysis and trained to listen deeply and help bring awareness to the hidden patterns that represent important parts of you waiting to be heard and cared for.

Are you longing for a sense of deeper knowing, presence, and integration in your life? Everything taking place, no matter how uncertain or challenging, is assisting you in your next steps in orienting to your deepest Self. I offer holistic spiritual direction to support you in walking your unique path...in spirit, heart, mind, and body. I collaborate with you in an intuitive, person-centered way to live your life from a place of integrity and alignment to your inner guidance, using various integrative modalities including Jungian psychology, energy practices, and attachment and trauma-informed, body-centered somatic healing.

One of the bravest things to do, is to walk through the shadows, remove the masks and welcome in your true self. You being here, demonstrates your ability to do just this! Therapy, is not a one sided conversation with a therapist hidden behind a clipboard, but instead a collaborative process between two humans. And I promise, I am as real as it can get (all quirks included.) My goal is to provide you a space to retell your story, build new meanings and achieve the life changes you are hoping for. You do not have to do this alone.

2021-2022 Marriage & Family Therapy Network State Chair I offer individual, couple and group professional counseling for life stressors like trauma, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and couples and family conflicts, specializing in interpersonal relationships counseling (adult, tween, and adolescent) and proven treatment strategies to meet the unique needs of survivors of traumatic experiences including EMDR, Neurofeedback, CBT, DBT, and ACT. I provide individualized coaching toward successful coping and life skills.

We believe in creating an open, safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate therapeutic environment that is informed by structure to help you make the changes necessary to build the life that you want. We also believe in an equally kind and direct stylistic approach, coupled with a strong emphasis on collaboration. In our work together, we will provide you with scientifically studied tools to help move you in the direction you wish to go.

I work with individuals feeling stuck in old behavior patterns or stress; who are ready to create change. Change can feel vulnerable, but it is very brave and often where healing starts. You are the expert in your healing journey, and I am honored to be a supportive witness. I incorporate mindfulness techniques, “being with things the way they are”. I also use my somatic experiencing training to help individuals feel safer in their bodies. Selectively, I will use EMDR with clients who express readiness for reprocessing difficult memories or experiences. It is a privilege to support others' journey back to themselves.

Are you living with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment and relationship challenges, or major life changes? Maybe you're feeling stuck in a storm of negativity and pain with no ray of hope in sight. Life can be extremely hard AND you are not alone. Connecting with a well-trained therapist is one of the best investments that you can make in yourself. I will help you explore life patterns, heal wounds from the past, and teach skills needed to build the life and relationships that you are seeking. Counseling is a healthy way to uncover the past, embrace the present, and pursue your best path forward. Regain control of your life!

My name is Erik Johnston, and I am a depth therapist. Being a depth therapist means I explore inner feelings, thoughts, sensations and intuitions to create options and new ways of being in my client's inner and outer life.

Living authentically and creatively sounds good, right? Nurturing quality relationships is important and also difficult. Managing stress in difficult times is confusing and overwhelming. Showing up in your life *how* you want is why we are here. Helping you identify ways the past has shaped your life, the patterns that have emerged and how to implement the change you want is our priority at HTC.

Hello, my name is Beth and I celebrate your courage and wisdom in searching for this site! I celebrate the individual's strengths in a nonjudgmental collaboration. The mind-body-heart connection, awareness, and trust are the foundation of therapy. The goal is always for your voice to be heard and from that voice to move forward towards your heart's calling. There is no one size fits all therapy.

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.
