Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You may notice yourself feeling more sad and tearful than usual. Or, perhaps you feel numb and indifferent. Maybe you’re tired all the time, it’s difficult to enjoy things you used to, or completing everyday tasks feels insurmountable. Depression can look a little different for each person but one thing is probably clear: you want to feel better. Our work will involve identifying attainable steps toward revitalization so that you can begin tackling current challenges with a sense of direction and clarity. And perhaps more importantly, so that you can get in touch with the parts of your life that make it all worthwhile.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I work with clients experiencing depression through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens that explores the emotional, somatic, and relational roots of low mood. Using Compassionate Inquiry®, we gently uncover patterns shaped by early experiences and life stress, while building self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful coping strategies. For some clients, we also explore the supportive use of microdosing as an adjunct to therapy, helping enhance self-reflection and emotional regulation. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to reconnect with your inner wisdom and reclaim a sense of hope and purpose.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Since I am not a licensed therapist, I'm not allowed to diagnose conditions such as Depression. This is a term that is often thrown around quite readily and clients often state they suffer from depression, whether or not they have been formally diagnosed by a therapist in the past. Generally, it is a rather broad diagnosis covering a wide range of behaviors. For hypnotists, many of these behaviors are simply a negative habit of mind that we can change, neutralizing many of the past traumas that have led to their problems. I have worked with many such clients, however. In many cases my clients have been in therapy for years, even decades, and while they understood the roots of their feelings, they got no relief. One of my earliest clients was a woman who suffered tremendous emotional abuse as a child and grew up with a crushing feeling of worthlessness. She became grossly overweight and worked at menial jobs her whole life, unable to form any successful and satisfying relationships. Through hypnosis, she was able to lose 170 pounds and after one session focused on her past trauma, she was so lightened of her lifelong burden of self loathing that she practically floated out of my office and she insisted on paying me double my fee. She has been free of her burdens now for 5 years and comes in once a year for a refresher session. I have had many such results in my practice.

Kristy Spriggs
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I get it. Being alive can be hard sometimes. Sometimes just getting out of bed in the morning can feel like running a marathon. If you also struggle to brush your teeth sometimes, or haven't changed your clothes in days, or it feels like everyone in the world is happy but you... I can help with that.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
Depression can suck the life out of a person. It can take away motivation to do things that previously were very important. It is a lot like a heavy blanket that covers a person's whole body, making a darkness that can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, with effective counseling, the light begins to shine again and the weights can come off!

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in helping clients who are experiencing depression, including feelings of emptiness, low motivation, disconnection, and a loss of joy or meaning in their daily lives. Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming and can often be accompanied by self-criticism, hopelessness, or a sense of being stuck. Many clients continue to function on the outside while internally feeling exhausted, numb, or unlike themselves. Our approach focuses on helping clients understand the emotional and relational roots of their depression, reconnect with themselves, and rebuild a sense of energy, purpose, and hope. Through supportive, attachment-informed care, we help clients develop healthier emotional patterns, strengthen self-compassion, and gradually reengage with their lives in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.

Tracey Pearson-Heaney
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LCPC
While we all feel sad on occasion. Depression is a physical/chemical process. Depressed/sad mood along with loss of interest or pleasure for more than two weeks are main indicators of depression. Other symptoms which could indicated depression are insomnia, loss or increased weight, fatigue or loss of energy, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, hopelessness, helplessness or recurrent thoughts of death, talking about or an attempt of suicide. If you or someone you know talks about death or suicide get help from a mental health professional or physician as soon as possible. If you or someone you know has a plan or has the means to carry out suicide call 911 or take them to the nearest hospital immediately. Never leave someone alone if they intend or have the ability for suicide. Depression is a medical problem. If you have depression you need the help of a mental health professional or a physician to diagnose and treat your depression.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in depression, my treatment approach is comprehensive and tailored to each individual's needs. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to their depression. By exploring underlying factors such as past traumas, life stressors, and interpersonal conflicts, we develop coping strategies and problem-solving skills to manage symptoms effectively. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, including regular exercise, healthy sleep habits, and social support networks, to promote overall well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to regain a sense of control over their lives, enhance resilience, and experience greater fulfillment and joy.

Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
