Telehealth Service Areas

I am fully licensed to provide online therapy to residents throughout Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, and Illinois, offering convenient and accessible mental health support.

​

What are the benefits of doing virtual therapy? For one, it's so convenient for you to be able to log-in from work or home and you don't have to worry about getting stuck in traffic or driving across town to get to your appointment. Two, we know that when interventions are done in home where the problem is most present in your life, you'll see faster results because you'll have gained the skills you need where you're most often at. 

​

You do, however, have to be physically located in one of the states I'm licensed in for each of the therapy sessions you attend. State licensing laws often say that "therapy happens where the client is at during the time of service." So, as much as I'd love to meet with you while on vacation (and see stunning views of the beach), you will need to be in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, or Colorado and provide me with the address of where you are located at the start of each session (when differing from your home address).

Specialized Therapy Services

 

Our approach to therapy recognizes that mental health and emotional well-being are deeply connected to our relationships and experiences of belonging. We help clients better understand their emotional needs, develop healthier relationship patterns, and build the confidence necessary to create meaningful connections.

​

KC Character Development also offers non-clinical couples coaching for partners who want to strengthen their relationships and develop healthier ways of communicating.

 

Coaching focuses on:

Improving communication and understanding

Navigating relationship conflict

Developing emotional intimacy

Establishing healthy boundaries

Strengthening trust and connection

Building intentional, fulfilling partnerships

Couples coaching is a separate, non-clinical service and is not a substitute for psychotherapy or mental health treatment.
