Male
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.

Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
I meet clients with compassion and a skilled, experienced intellect focused on helping you find lasting solutions quickly. I provide a safe and understanding space free of judgement. I won't waste your time or money, but I also want to take the time in the first sessions to get to know you and your situation well enough so that when we begin to apply solutions, they are strategic, effective and bring you lasting relief from your pain and concerns.
I enjoy doing counseling. I've been in private practice as a licensed doctoral psychologist for many years. I also understand the therapy process from having used counseling for myself. Give me a call and let see if I am a good fit for you and the situation you want help with.

Male
Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I approach therapy as a practical and relational process rather than a set of techniques. People usually come in when long-standing ways of coping no longer fit their current life, even if those strategies once made sense. My work focuses on understanding how those patterns developed, how they continue to function, and how they can be reorganized in ways that support greater flexibility and self-direction. Change matters to me as it shows up in how a person lives, relates, and responds outside the therapy space.

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.

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.
