Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
In my practice, I adopt a holistic approach to addressing the unique challenges faced by children and adolescents. By integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral techniques, and parent management training, I ensure that each intervention is grounded in evidence-based practices. Working closely with children and teens, I help them identify and challenge the negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to their difficulties, empowering them to make positive changes in their lives.

Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
