Do you offer individual therapy for Overland Park residents?

Yes. My office is about 10-15 minutes from most of Overland Park, just enough distance to be and feel somewhere else without cutting into the rest of your day. I work with individuals from Overland Park regularly, no residency requirement.

What kind of individual therapy issues do you work with?

A lot of what I see from Overland Park clients centers on the pressure to have it together, women especially who've spent years meeting the expectations of a good mother, a good partner, a well-run household, and have lost track of themselves underneath it. If that exhaustion sounds familiar, this is exactly the kind of work I do. You might recognize a lot of yourself in that, or none of it, and that's alright too. People come to individual therapy for all kinds of reasons, including anxiety, low mood, or old trauma resurfacing, which I've written more about here, and what's underneath doesn't always have an obvious label right away. If something feels off, or you don't feel like yourself, that's reason enough. We'll go slowly and tenderly, explore together what's going on and why, and work from there toward whatever healing and progress you're looking for.

Why come to Prairie Village instead of finding someone closer?

Some clients want a little distance from their own community for something this personal, no chance of running into a neighbor or your child's teacher in the waiting room. Prairie Village has that same steady, family-centered feel as Overland Park, so it doesn't feel foreign and is just far enough removed to be yours.

Is individual therapy confidential?

Yes, fully. This is a guarantee. Everything discussed in session is held to the same strict confidentiality standards required of licensed therapists, regardless of where you live.

Do you accept insurance for individual therapy?

Core Counseling KC does not currently accept insurance, and there are some real benefits to that for you. Read more about that here. Individual sessions last 45 minutes and currently cost $160.

How do I get started?

Reach out through the Contact form, and let me know how you'd like to proceed, whether you'd rather ask a few questions by text or email first, set up a brief consultation call, or go ahead and see if our availability lines up to schedule a session. I typically respond within 24 hours by email, and will follow up using whichever preferred method you indicate on the form.

Couples & Individual Therapy in Overland Park, KS

Just a short drive from Overland Park, with the privacy of stepping outside your own community.

For many Overland Park couples and individuals, that's exactly the point. My office sits just across the suburb line in Prairie Village — close enough for an easy drive, far enough that you can walk into your session without the worry of running into a neighbor, your child's teacher, or someone from church in the waiting room.

Prairie Village shares the same kind of steady, family-centered community feel you already know from Overland Park — safe, connected, built around the everyday rhythms of raising a family. So it never feels foreign or out of place to come here. It just gives you that small but meaningful bit of distance from your own immediate community, so this stays something that belongs to you.

For Overland Park couples

In a community built around family stability, good schools, and predictable, connected neighborhoods, your relationship isn't just about the two of you — it's the foundation everything else stands on. When that foundation feels shaky, it shows up everywhere: in how you parent, in how present you are with your kids, in whether your home feels like the safe, steady place you're both working so hard to build.

I work with couples who are deeply invested in raising happy, well-adjusted kids, and who know that starts with the relationship between the two of you, not just what happens around your children. We slow down the patterns that keep you stuck in the same argument, help you understand what's actually driving the disconnection underneath it, and rebuild a partnership that can hold the weight of a busy, full family life. If you're weighing your options, I've written more about what to look for in a couples counselor in Johnson County and what working together actually looks like.

For Overland Park individuals

Overland Park's culture of stability and "having it together" can be a beautiful thing to raise a family inside of — and it can also be quietly exhausting to keep up with. I work with women in particular who've spent years measuring themselves against the expectations of a good mother, a good partner, a well-run household, only to realize they've lost track of who they are underneath all of it. If you're a person who's always taken care of everyone else's needs first, or someone who's achieved every marker of success and still feels like it's never quite enough, that exhaustion is real, and it's not something you have to keep carrying alone.

After your session

One thing Overland Park clients often mention: Prairie Village has a handful of genuinely great local spots to grab coffee or sit down together after a session — a place to process what came up, have a real conversation as a couple, or just decompress before heading back into the pace of everyday life. It's a small thing, but it tends to matter more than people expect.

A note on distance

For most of Overland Park, Prairie Village is a short, easy trip, well worth it for the added privacy of stepping just outside your own immediate community for something this personal.

If you’re ready to talk about what this could look like for you or your relationship, I’d love to talk.

That exhaustion is real, and it's not something you have to keep carrying alone.
