Lindsey Costello
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I feel so lucky each time I meet a new client. Every person I have worked with has a unique story, experience, personality, and worldview. How amazing is that?! I tend to connect with people who are wanting to honor the parts of themselves that connect with others, alongside the parts that don’t seem to fit in. Working with people who have different backgrounds than myself is an absolute honor. I am a LGBTQ+ counselor and am affirming and inspired by my LGBTQ+ clients. I am also affirming of clients in non-monogamous and kink communities. One size does not fit all!

Larry Nussbaum, LIFE JOURNEY CENTEER
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSCSW, LISCW
Everyone at times needs some support or coaching on their life journey. I'd be happy to sit down with you or talk on the phone and compassionately listen to your story and lend some hope and encouragement. I view "problems" as opportunities to work on and overcome the 'threats' within and around us and to open up our lives to new levels of growth.

Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Currently accepting new clients! My approach is grounded in 20+yrs of clinical experience as a psychotherapist and Binge Eating Disorder treatment specialist. I help adult clients get out of their heads & back into their lives (and bodies), with interventions drawn from the research-supported "third wave" of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which includes mindfulness and acceptance approaches, in addition to nature prescriptions. Life is tough, suffering is inevitable. But we don't have to struggle. Learn how to more skillfully navigate our complex world. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation today.

Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
After facing the heart-wrenching challenges of having two of my three children struggle with Substance Use Disorder, my world was further shaken when my son, Joel, lost his decades-long battle with the disease in 2017. In the wake of this profound loss, I was determined to better understand the family experience of addiction, and have since used this lived experience to support and guide others who are navigating the isolating and stigmatizing road of addiction and loss.
As a Compassionate Bereavement Care®️ Certified Provider and Kessler Certified Grief Educator, I work with individuals, families, and communities impacted by loss. I am a Peer Parent Coach with the Partnership to End Addiction, and co-facilitate their online grief support community, and is the host of Finding Hope After Loss, Grief Support groups for The Happier Life Project. As an advocate for recovery policies, I am a California State Organizer with the Recovery Advocacy Project, serve on the RCO/RCC Advisory Committee, and was named the 2022 Architect of Recovery by CCAPP (CA Consortium of Addiction Professionals.) My book, Secrets, Scars and Heart Shaped Jars, shares my family’s journey through addiction, loss and recovery.
5 Years Experience
Online in Wichita, KS Kansas (Online Only)
Wichita's economy is anchored by aerospace manufacturing and agriculture, and therapists here frequently address the psychological pressures of industrial work, shift schedules, and the boom-bust cycles of manufacturing employment. The city has a large Hispanic population and growing Somali and Burmese communities from refugee resettlement, creating demand for multilingual and culturally informed therapists who work with immigration stress and cross-cultural family dynamics. Via Christi Health and Wesley Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources, while the city's mid-size scale means many therapists maintain more accessible practices than in larger metros. Wichita's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is a common offering across many local practices.
