5 therapists in Kansas matching your needs

Hi! I'm a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my master's from Ana G Mendez University and have been practicing for 5 years. I help individuals who have experienced traumatic events heal. Specifically, adults who have experienced domestic violence, sexual violence or childhood abuse. I am currently trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy & Dialectical Behavior Therapy as well.

I still love what I do after 26 years. I have extensive experience in Christian Counseling, Blended Families, Couples, Addiction, PTSD, Trauma, Sex-Offenders, and Obsessive-Compulsive behaviors. I have worked with a variety of clients ranging from ages 7 to 89, but currently am only working with adults. I am independently licensed in 3 different states as a Marriage and Family Therapist and independently licensed in 2 states as an Addiction Counselor. I believe everyone has a "gift," something that they are called to do, and Counseling is mine. I care about my clients and have the innate ability to "zone" in on what is going on with them. I use Emotional Focus Therapy, Strength-Based, Trauma-Informed, Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but it really depends on the clients I am seeing. I admire anyone who wants to make a change and is willing to reach out and ask for help. I am here for you if you are that person.

I operate from the stance that people were not intended to suffer alone. Often, burdens that appear too heavy or too great to move beneath feel that way because the individual does not have adequate resources and skills to process the situations or experiences. As a therapist, I have been blessed to stand alongside many individuals as they planted their feet back on the ground and learned to skills necessary to alter their view of self or to shift so that they became bigger than their pain. I have worked in both in-patient and private practice settings over the course of the last eight years. I have experience working with trauma, eating disorders, addiction, process addictions, families, parenting concerns, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I am capable of engaging in Christian therapy if desired by the client. Overall, my goal as a therapist is to work beside the client as they learn to meet their goals, not to stand in front and pull them along or stand behind and push them. If we need to stand still and sort through some obstacles before moving forward, then that is part of the process and time well spent.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of professional work experience. I am trained to work with multiple specialties; such as trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, communication, relationship problems, substance use disorders, confidence, work stress, sleep issues, and a lot more. I believe in constantly enhancing my clinical skills to accomplish my mission of helping as many people as I can to heal. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, EMDR, DBT, Emotional Focused Couples Therapy, ADHD (adults only who have previously been diagnosed), Narcissistic Abuse and Personality disorders, and Internal Family Systems. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey. Success looks different to everyone, so together we will work on a plan to get you to where you want to be. I look forward to supporting you on your healing journey.

Have you been feeling down lately? Maybe life does not bring pleasure anymore or you forgot the last time you felt mentally sound? Are you feeling sad or hopeless? Or thinking that if something were to happen to you, you would not mind? If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, and battling the symptoms of trauma or suicidal ideation, I might be the right therapist for you. I hold an LMFT license in the state of Florida. I earned my Ph.D. in Couple and Family Therapy from Kansas State University. I earned my Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University.
