Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Taylor Esworthy
Marriage and Family Therapist, PMFT
Hi, I’m Taylor. If you’ve found your way here, something in your life might feel heavier than it looks on the outside. Maybe you’re showing up for everyone else while running on empty, feeling stuck in relationship patterns, or navigating a transition that’s left you unsure of who you are. In therapy, you don’t have to have it all together, you just get to be human. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Jessica Oliver, Aspire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I specialize in helping people who are tired of just "managing" their anxiety or trauma symptoms and are ready for real, lasting change. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals, working parents, and teens who look like they have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted on the inside.I use evidence-based approaches—including EMDR, CBT, and ACT—because I believe you deserve treatment that actually works, not endless sessions of "how was your week?" My style is warm and direct. I'll meet you with compassion and help you build practical skills, but I'll also gently push you toward the growth you're looking for.If you're in Missouri and ready to stop white-knuckling your way through life, I'd love to talk.

16 Years Experience
Online in Kansas City, MO Missouri
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.
