Autism
Shannon Gorres

Many of my clients who have autism appreciate my ability to communicate clearly, give options, and not take it personally if you disagree with me. I'm calm and transparent, here to appreciate and support how each person navigates their world. Many of my clients with autism appreciate my invitations to get to know their feelings- without pressure to have any certain type of experience.

Autism
Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
I work with autistic adults, including those who were diagnosed later in life or who have come to recognize autistic traits in themselves without a formal diagnosis. Therapy can provide space to explore masking, relationships, sensory and emotional needs, identity, burnout, communication, and the experience of moving through a world often designed around neurotypical expectations. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and focused on understanding how your brain works, identifying what genuinely supports you, and building a life that fits you rather than teaching you to appear more neurotypical.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have felt out of sync with the crowd—too quiet, too intense, too different. But here, being “different” is not a barrier—it’s your gift. At Dr. Shoup’s practice, you’ll find a place of acceptance, insight, and purpose. We understand how your mind’s unique rhythms, perceptions, and sensitivities shape your life and interactions. Rather than trying to make you fit a mold, we help you lean into your strengths, build bridges in relationships, and discover how being “outside” can be the vantage point from which you lead, connect, and thrive.

Olathe is the county seat of Johnson County—one of the wealthiest counties in the United States—and a prosperous Kansas City suburb with a highly educated population, strong schools, and a community culture that values achievement, all of which shapes the mental health landscape toward concerns about perfectionism, parenting pressure, and the anxiety of high expectations across the life span. A well-developed private therapy sector reflects the community's means and generally positive attitude toward seeking support, and the proximity to Kansas City's broader health resources gives residents access to specialists across a wide range of modalities and populations. Many churches and faith communities in Olathe incorporate or partner with mental health professionals, reflecting a faith-integrated approach to well-being common in this part of the Midwest. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, adolescent mental health, parenting stress, work-life balance, and the relational challenges that arise in a community where success and high performance are deeply embedded expectations.
