Empower Your Mental Health and Relationships with Empathetic & Evidence-Based Therapy

I'm committed to helping you improve the quality of your wellbeing and achieve your goals. Whether you're coming to process and understand your mental health or even prepare for the future with your partner in couple's therapy; I'm here to help you navigate your journey and find new tools to help you begin living life. I started KC Character Development in order to offer a variety of services including personalized therapy for your mental health, relational health, and comprehensive wellness support.

​

My practice centers on creating a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel understood, validated, and empowered to explore complex relational dynamics and build the relationships they truly desire. I blend evidence-based practices with a nuanced understanding of identity and diverse lived experiences.

​

In addition to my other services, I offer specialized therapy support for adults living with ADHD, the LGBTQ+ community, adults looking to heal their attachment patterns, and those who are looking for support recovering from codependency.

Gay Couples might find themselves looking for things to do in Kansas City or for wedding planning might realize that one of the foundations in building a stronger relationship is by starting with couples therapy and marriage prep courses. Let our LGBT therapists help.

Before you book your wedding venue for your gay wedding, consider meeting with one of our talented relational therapists for marriage prep counseling. Weddings can be stressful and overwhelming; it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most: the love you have for each other.

If you and your partner are constantly fighting and bickering, it may be time for you to try out couple’s therapy. Our team of marriage and family therapists are trained to help you navigate relational conflict in ways in which you are both seen and heard.

If there has been an affair or infidelity, couple’s therapy is a great place to heal and find your way back to the person you love.

Maybe you and your partner are exploring polyamory for the first time and need help creating a structure and identifying boundaries to ensure that your relationship to each other is strengthened rather than weakened. Many polyamorous couples find support in relational therapy and can better communicate their feelings, wants, and needs.

If you’re looking for queer and trans-affirming therapists will find that in our team of LGBTQ therapists. KC Character Development prioritizes the needs of our community by providing online therapy. Some of our specialties include internal family systems, attachment, emotion-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and adult children of emotionally immature parents.

Maybe you’re coming into your identity as a gay, queer, or transgender person and you need a safe place to process and explore your gender.

If you find yourself needing a consult for a gender affirming surgical letter, We’ve got that covered, too.

Colby specializes in working with depression and OCD, as well as suicidal ideation. Additionally, they provide gender-affirming care. Colby has experience working with both trauma, eating disorders, bipolar disorder and anxiety.

You might have already looked on the LGBT therapy guild Kansas city, betterhelp, psychology today, and therapy den for LGBT online therapy, LGBT therapy near me, LGBT therapist Kansas City or LGBT Therapist Denver and still have struggled to find the right therapist for you. Schedule a consult with us and see how we show up in the therapy room. Kc Character
