Psychodynamic
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

Allison Lobel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe therapy should be a supportive and collaborative space where people of all ages feel understood and valued. I provide outpatient psychotherapy for children, teens, and adults, drawing from psychodynamic, CBT, and family systems approaches to support meaningful growth and healing. My goal is to help clients navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and foster resilience in ways that feel authentic and lasting.

Psychodynamic
Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe therapy should be deeply personal. No two people receive the same approach in my office. Instead, we will work to form a collaborative relationship with spirits of curiosity, challenge and connection. If you come to my office you can expect to understand not just your symptoms, but the underlying patterns and experiences that shaped them. Together, we focus on real, lasting change to those symptoms. Therapy should be more than coping and learning. It should to be transformative too. If you're ready for therapy that goes beyond surface-level solutions and meets you where you actually are, I invite you to reach out.
