I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience walking alongside people as they navigate life’s struggles, questions, and turning points. Clients often describe me as warm, calming, and deeply present. I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen, safe, and supported—exactly as you are. My approach is grounded in Mindfulness-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), woven together with a strong belief in the power of compassion, curiosity, and connection. We’ll work together to understand what’s getting in the way of the life you want and explore new ways to relate to your thoughts, emotions, and experiences—without judgment. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, spiritually disconnected, or just unsure of your next step, I’m here to listen closely and help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom and strength. I work especially well with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, spiritual or faith-related stress, and life transitions. As someone who values meaning, presence, and authenticity, I approach each session with kindness and care. I don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions—but I do believe that healing is possible, growth is always available, and you don’t have to do this alone. I currently offer virtual sessions to clients in Kentucky and Kansas, and am in the process of expanding my licensure to Washington. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, respect, and gentle guidance, I’d be honored to work with you.

I'm Dr. Thuy Boardman, a licensed psychologist with 21 years of experience providing evidence-based therapy for individuals facing stress, navigating moral ambiguity, or questioning whether something in your work/personal life needs to shift. I help high-performing individuals make sense of burnout, moral distress, and quiet exhaustion before it turns into something unmanageable. When you’ve been carrying this much for this long, the signs show up quietly: irritability, exhaustion, second-guessing decisions that used to feel clear. You might wonder if it’s just part of the job, or if you’re the only like this. You're not alone.

Therapy is your space. A space to pause. To exhale. To say the things you’ve been holding in. It’s yours—whether you’re working through a tough transition, feeling overwhelmed, carrying old pain, or just trying to make sense of what’s next. As a therapist with over 20 years of experience, I offer a safe, affirming space to grow through what you're going through. In a world that can feel overwhelming—especially in times of political and societal change — you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals aged 16-60(ish) who are looking to: ✔ Manage everyday stress and anxiety ✔ Explore life and career goals. ✔ Heal from trauma or grief, including suicide loss ✔ Build confidence and overcome feeling "stuck" ✔ Find affirming therapy as part of the LGBTQIA++ community ✔ Better understand and support Trans/NB loved ones ✔ Cope when loved ones struggle with addiction or mental health challenges ✔ Navigate the uncertainties and stress of today’s political and social climate I am committed to inclusive, culturally responsive care that respects your identity and lived experience. I also recognize and honor the unique challenges faced by military service members, veterans, and their families. Whether navigating the demands of military life, the stress of transitions, or the impact of service-related experiences, I provide a space for healing, resilience, and growth. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. Please book a free, 15-minute consult call so we are both sure our connection is a good fit. If my posted availability doesn't fit your schedule, visit SunriseLCSW.com and send me a message. I accept new clients on a case-by-case basis based on therapy goals and scheduling availability.

Hi I am Kao, I firmly believe that as humans we have an innate desire for growth and balance. Unfortunately, often we physically respond to ingrained negative cues and messages that get stuck in our body. Many times these old cues manifest themselves in our body as anxiety, depression, and other trauma responses. It can feel like we are living life just trying to cope with the loudness of these negative messages. What if instead of just gaining tools to “cope” with these trauma responses, we could eliminate them all together? How might your life look? My hope is that in our work together we will be able to address wounds and move towards healing so that you don’t have to “cope” anymore. Instead you can thrive and have a sense of self-awareness that brings constant peace and clarity.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Kansas rather than a city like Wichita?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Kansas from Overland Park to Kansas City! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Kansas.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Military/Veterans?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Military/Veterans, is filtering therapists in Kansas that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
