Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have dedicated my practice to working with individuals in eating disorder recovery, recovery from disordered eating, or who are struggling in their relationship with their body. I hope to be a partner in your recovery journey, offering support and skills. You don't have to identify as having an eating disorder (or believe you are "sick enough") to want a more peaceful relationship with your body. Recovery is always possible, even though it is more complex and complicated than ever. There is an overwhelming amount of information about health, wellness, and recovery- I am here to help you sort through the noise and find what works for you!

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.

Rebekah Ruth Jones, Ed.D., LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D., LPC
It is my belief that a large portion of human suffering is the product of relationships, either the lack thereof or the presence of unhealthy interactions. We were never meant to navigate life alone. As such, we are not prepared to solve problems in a vacuum. For these reasons, I practice from a collaborative stance with my clients.
You can expect direct but kind observations and feedback when working with me. I honor your time and your investment, as such, I will not always say what you would like to hear but instead will share insights with you truthfully but not from a place of authority. Ultimately, you have authority over your own life and the choices that move you forward.

Michael Berry
Psychologist, PhD
My ideal client is looking for practical support overcoming problems with binge-eating, insomnia, anxiety, depression, or distress caused by a medical condition. As your psychologist, my first goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where you can feel comfortable openly sharing your struggles. Together, we’ll identify your goals, figure out what’s getting in the way of change, and develop practical steps to move forward. I regularly measure progress to ensure therapy is focused and effective, helping you feel better while gaining insight and skills to maintain your progress long after therapy ends.

Downhome Counseling , Susan Glass, PsyD., LMLP
Psychologist, PsyD., LMLP
I returned to school later in life, initially to show my boys I believed in education. Took Psy 101 my first semester and as they say the rest is history. After 10 years in school, a year internship and finally receiving my degree the journey began. I have worked in adolescent group home, Tennessee State Prison, Nursing/Rehabilitation Homes and community mental health. I am now in my 3rd full year of private practice, and this is where I was meant to be. I know the struggles and my hope is to make it easier on others, as they navigate their struggles. No problem is too small or obstacles too large. At the end of the day my hope is to help people find who they want to be and to learn to be successful at that.

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.
