Therapists in Kentucky

Walking with people through life's difficulties and struggles is a privileged, honor, and part of my purpose in life. I commit my life to helping people find their way back to the right paths that they want to be on to live out their purpose. Hi! My name is Lana and I have been a LCSW since 2011. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in issues of adjustment, trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, grief, child and adolescent behaviors, and sexual abuse. I also have experience with talking with individuals with mood and personality disorders, PTSD, and issues surrounding divorce. On a more personal level, I enjoy traveling and refer to myself as a coffee connoisseur. I also have two small dogs that think they run the world and like to introduce themselves from time to time in my sessions. I always have a plan but I believe some of life's greatest adventures are in taking the scenic route.

Hi there, I'm Brittany, and I'm so glad you're here. Do you feel lost or overwhelmed in the mix of everything? Are you struggling to find the balance between work, relationships, parenthood, and the ability to be and care for yourself?

Hello! I am a dedicated and licensed professional in Kentucky, holding qualifications as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Alcohol Drug Counselor, specializing in substance abuse treatment and mental health care. I earned my Master of Education degree from Lindsey Wilson College in December 2021 and am currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Counselor Education & Supervision from the same institution, further deepening my expertise in the field. With seven years of hands-on experience, my focus has been on empowering individuals struggling with substance abuse and alcoholism to achieve lasting recovery. Additionally, I specialize in addressing various mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach is rooted in compassion, evidence-based practices, and a commitment to providing comprehensive and personalized care to each client. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore their challenges, foster resilience, and work towards achieving their personal goals for mental wellness and a fulfilling life.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisville, Kentucky. I received my Masters from the University of Kentucky and have been practicing for 4 years. I help adolescents and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, life stressors and trauma. I strive to provide a safe environment for you to be able to talk about experiences and situations that are bothering you. This means there is no judgement! If you do not join our meeting within 15 minutes after our scheduled time, that would be considered a no-show. Your first no-show appointment will not be held against you because I know that things happen, but after that you will be charged $50 each time you no-show an appointment. If you cancel an appointment within 24 hours of the appointment, I will also charge you $50 as a late cancellation fee. If there are ever 3 appointments cancelled or no-showed in a row, unfortunately, I would be forced to close per attendance policy. If I am unable to see you within a 30-day period, I would also be forced to close. I will remind you of these policies, but I just wanted to be honest.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.

Each person has a natural inclination toward wholeness. Sometimes that movement gets stifled—by circumstances, stress, or seasons of life—and counseling can help at any age. My office is a place to explore who you are and address what’s getting in the way—whether fear, trauma, mental health concerns, or the very practical question of what to do when your child has a meltdown in the grocery aisle. Therapy with me is a partnership. You’re the expert on your life; I bring training, perspective, and practical tools. We’ll blend skills you can use right away with deeper work at a pace that feels safe. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Existential Therapy, and Jungian psychology, informed by Stoic and existential philosophies. As a certified yoga instructor, I integrate awareness, meditation, and gentle movement when helpful. I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and with children I use child-centered play therapy. I’m independently licensed in Ohio and Kentucky with supervision designation.

Family means a great deal to me and has been a wonderful support system to me along my life journey.

The path to health and wellness is different for each of us. Having a safe space to process our experiences and emotions can be the pivotal turning point we need to gain the satisfaction, and fulfillment we so desperately crave. While every journey is unique, the desired goal is generally universal: implementing meaningful change toward a deeper awareness of ourselves as we navigate life's challenges. Together, we can find your path and walk it together. My therapy style is reflective, warm, and attentive, as you and I work together to determine the best course of action that will illicit the changes necessary to reach the desired outcome. Authenticity and increased self awareness are my signs that the therapeutic process is conducive to the healing, and processing necessary to ignite this powerful change. I work with individuals, aged 8+, with specialization in anxiety, depression, whole health and wellness, and substance use. If you feel we could be a good match, reach out!

I have approximately 30 years of experience in virtually all clinical settings. I began my career working in a juvenile penitentiary (referred to as a 'youth development center) and after almost 6 years, left that setting and moved on to new opportunities. Along the way, I worked with group homes, foster homes, substance abuse treatment programs, and even provided treatment in a sexual offender treatment program. In 2004 I went solely into private practice and currently operate two offices. I also provided on-site services to businesses that suffer a death or other disruptive event; I have provided over 170 of these services in four states during the last several years. While you don't need any faith to see me, I also offer Christian Counseling. Finally, I am a US Army veteran and understand the challenges and needs of veterans. I operate under a practical approach that seeks to build on a person's strengths to achieve realistic, measurable goals. I utilize primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and reality therapy to help my clients achieve their goals and to live life more fully.
