ADHD
Kevin Stegeman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I teach practical strategies to improve organization, time management, and focus. We may use techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought patterns, build healthy routines, and develop coping skills for managing distractions and impulsive behaviors. We can also work together to set realistic goals, strengthen problem-solving skills, and create personalized strategies that support success at school, work, and in daily life.

ADHD
Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As someone who personally understands ADHD, I know it’s more than just difficulty focusing. It can affect motivation, follow-through, emotional regulation, and self-trust. Many clients come in feeling frustrated with themselves or stuck in cycles of starting and stopping. Together, we work to understand how your brain actually operates and develop practical, realistic ways to build momentum, reduce overwhelm, and follow through without constant self-criticism.

ADHD
Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
While I am not a therapist, I deal with emotions and the realities they create everyday. The number one obstacle I encounter with clients with ADHD is shame. Coaching can be a powerful space to admit, examine, and expel that immobilizing emotion. The framework of life coaching is helpful for almost everyone. AND I have a toolkit in my back pocket proven effective and accessible in revealing the superpowers in ADHD and cultivating ease around the obstacles. This toolkit includes methods, tools, and experiments to improve time management, focus, interpersonal relationships, motivation, and life balance, as well as so much more. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past or finding a mental diagnosis because I believe you are whole, resourceful and creative as you are, right now. Our work will be to find the tools that work for you to get the life you want.

Independence is a Kansas City suburb with a distinctive character rooted in its historical significance as the starting point of the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails and as the world headquarters of the Community of Christ—a significant Latter Day Saint denomination—as well as being the hometown of President Harry S. Truman, a combination that gives the city a particular civic identity unusual for a suburb of its size. The religious community anchored by the Community of Christ Temple creates both a strong support network and specific mental health considerations around faith, doubt, and community belonging for those navigating their relationship with the church. Centerpoint Medical Center and the broader Kansas City health system provide behavioral health resources to Independence and surrounding communities. Common therapy concerns include faith and spiritual identity, commuter stress from the Kansas City metro, economic anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the particular dynamics of a community where civic pride and religious heritage are deeply intertwined.
