Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
Effective treatment for depression includes biological, emotional, mental (thinking), and spiritual interventions. When treating depression, Dr. Randa will first help you assess lifestyle factors that may be contributing to or supporting your depression, reviewing such factors as nutrition, sleep, exercise, and supplements. Treatment continues with understanding our emotions and how they affect our behavior and branches into learning how to change our behavior through our thought processes. Many people find that some discussion devoted to unpacking their existential or spiritual discomfort is also helpful in recovery from depression. Dr. Randa is skilled in helping you to examine your faith beliefs with dignity and openness.

Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
Feeling down and blue is a normal, healthy, human experience. Having clinical depression is another thing and requires a trained professional to help you understand the difference. Basically, clinical depression is normal depression that goes to an extreme level and gets stuck there. Most people need assistance of one sort or the other to get back to normal functioning once they reach this point.
br>I will help you first determine where you are along the spectrum from feeling somewhere down and actually being stuck in depression. We'll then look at options available to you to help you feel better and begin enjoying life again.

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.
