Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
A human being, by nature, is full of contradictions. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is essential to the therapy process. The experience of "feeling" seen, or felt, or heard, is the beginning of healing. Knowing that while you are unique, you are not alone. My belief is that strong therapy starts with the therapeutic relationship.

I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Have you made time and space for you today? Most of us haven't—and therapy isn't the only way to do it. Consider Holistic Life Coaching instead. As a certified professional coach, I am here to encourage you to take a breath, take a beat to consider who you are, where you are, and if you are feeling satisfaction in your own success. If you aren't, I invite you to have a conversation with yourself about what can be done differently—allow me to moderate that conversation. Together we can help you live into your own definition of success and begin to feel it deeply. To breathe it in and live.

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.
