For all new patients (excluding Tricare and Medicare), we are now able to initiate counseling without an in-person visit or face to face contact. We have transitioned our intake paperwork to a completely digital, HIPPA compliant process. This allows you to establish as a new patient and begin counseling (in the majority of situations) at our earliest available appointment. Normally this would require at least one in-person visit or session.

	Mary Kay Brooks. Two guiding principles for change are compassion and accountability. Compassion helps us hang in there when life is hard. Accountability compels us to use what we learn, as it turns us away from self-pity and blame. Sometimes we learn life’s lessons the hard way-it just seems to be part of being human. If you’re feeling stuck in a confusing or painful situation, consider therapy. It isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about learning how to sort things out for yourself. My approach is active, direct and flexible. I employ cognitive, behavioral, insight, relaxation training, and mind, body, spirit approaches. My career began in health care, and I offer over 20 years experience. I particularly enjoy working on relationship issues with people of all ages.

	Judith Evnen, LCSW “Thanks for being a real person”, is something that clients have expressed through the years-even folks who may be pretty wary at the beginning. It’s an honor to hear, but being with people during rough times, and helping them move forward in a way that suits their values is what we’re working towards. That is the true honor. Using a toolbox including Cognitive Behavioral Therapies; solution-oriented therapy, a dab of dialectical behavioral therapy, humor and strengths-based approaches result in important therapeutic progress. Clients want to know that they will meet with a skilled clinician, will not be judged, that their therapist will work to connect in a meaningful way, and honor their experiences. They also want to be certain that therapy will lead to new insights and change. Therapeutic process isn’t always easy, but it’s achievable with a thoughtful, tailored approach. Let’s work together on concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and death, medical/health situations including strategies for coping with physical pain, assertiveness, family and marital difficulties and sometimes just figuring out the next step to creating a better path in an organized, productive way. Look forward to meeting you, and developing useful tools and insights, together.

	Diane M. Keith, LPCSeeking help can be difficult. We often think we should be able to handle any problem that comes our way. However, everyone needs support at some point in their lives. A major crisis, a life transition, loss, relationship problems, emotional needs, our past interfering with our present, or just daily stressors become too much to deal with alone. We forget our strengths and become isolated, depressed, angry, or make poor choices.As your counselor, I use an eclectic approach to help you find solutions to your problems, rediscover and develop your inner strengths, and acquire valuable communication skills so you may have a happy and healthy relationship with others and yourself! If you are looking for a safe and compassionate therapist, I would love to work with you! Psychology Today Profile

	David Burkett, LSCSW I have over twenty five years of counseling experience, offering individual, marital and family therapy. I have a great deal of personal experience on this level, having been married for 40 years, and having 3 adult children. I have professional experience in working with a broad age group from 5 to over 100 years of age, and have had the experience of caring for elderly parents, including my 97 year old father, who continues to live in his own home with the help of his family. Also on a professional level, I have a strong background in working with chronic and terminal illnesses, assisting individuals and family members in adjusting to their changed circumstances, while identifying factors within their control and strategies to help navigate through challenging life experiences. Working through life transitions, and finding meaning in our experiences, is an important feature of my counseling role. Toward this end, I primarily utilize an eclectic approach with an emphasis on brief, short-term psychotherapy skills. I was educated at the University of Kansas, where I obtained a Masters Degree in Social Work, and I am licensed in both Kansas and Missouri.

	Dawn Stillinger, LCPC, LPC, RPT I am a creative and caring clinical professional counselor and registered play therapist. I embrace a holistic and trauma-informed approach to treat the whole person with an emphasis on treating the effects of trauma and anxiety. I enjoy working with adults, children, adolescents, and families and have experience with a variety of issues, including relationship and behavioral concerns, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, and working through complex or sexual trauma and PTSD. I am uniquely qualified to assist with career concerns or creative challenges because of my previous work in the private sector and the art community. My therapeutic approach is strengthened by training in EMDR, CBT, DBT, trauma-focused CBT, mindfulness, family systems, hypnotherapy, play therapy, attachment-based therapy, art therapy and psychoeducation. Since we are all unique, there is no single approach that is productive for each of us. Each of my clients receives personalized treatment from me. I embrace creativity and work to provide a soothing and safe platform for personal expression in a supportive environment. A belief that I hold about engaging in therapy and working to change is this: a powerful therapeutic experience is created by making seemingly small changes in your life. These changes build to create a lasting and positive impact on your life. When you’re ready, I’m here to help, and we can get you on the path of discovery to your true and authentic self. Even if you’ve experienced a particularly traumatic event, with my help and creative approaches, I can create a safe place for you to land and begin to explore your life again. I look forward to finding your unique path of discovery with you.
	Martina Windler, MAS/PsyD, CGPMaybe you feel stuck in your life, confused about your feelings and thoughts, or you’re not living your life the way you’d want to. Maybe you’ve noticed that there are patterns in your relationships or at work that are interfering with your goals and that seem to repeat themselves. Maybe there are cultural factors and expectations (family culture or culture in a broader sense) that seem to hold you back or interfere with your hopes and life plans.I can help you explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviors in order to better understand them, for symptom relief, to be more forgiving with yourself, heal and promote personal growth, and move forward. Sometimes it’s painful to look at one’s past and we’d rather avoid it. Sometimes it makes a lot of sense, though, to explore exactly these feelings in order to gain insight into how our past experiences influence the present, and in order to re-evaluate behaviors that might have been adaptive and helpful at one point, but are now interfering with your life and your goals. Together we will be able to discover that you have choices and you will become able to more actively engage life, and use your own strengths to be most true to yourself. I’m supporting you in the making of a more fulfilling life. I’m a caring and supportive psychologist with 9 years of experience as a therapist, and who’s committed to creating a safe and trusting, collaborative environment and therapeutic relationship as a foundation for exploration. Together we’ll seek to identify opportunities for growth and healing, and identify limiting beliefs, feelings and behaviors that give you the chance to experience real choice in your life. I customize my approach to each patient’s needs and preferences, integrating psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral and humanistic approaches. I provide psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, couples, families and groups struggling with a range of interpersonal and emotional issues and from diverse backgrounds, in English, Spanish, and German. I specialize in treating people struggling with painful issues related to anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, shame, life transitions, feelings of stagnation, grief, stress, Trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, paraphilias, getting in trouble with law enforcement.

	Mary Kay Brooks. Two guiding principles for change are compassion and accountability. Compassion helps us hang in there when life is hard. Accountability compels us to use what we learn, as it turns us away from self-pity and blame. Sometimes we learn life’s lessons the hard way-it just seems to be part of being human. If you’re feeling stuck in a confusing or painful situation, consider therapy. It isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about learning how to sort things out for yourself. My approach is active, direct and flexible. I employ cognitive, behavioral, insight, relaxation training, and mind, body, spirit approaches. My career began in health care, and I offer over 20 years experience. I particularly enjoy working on relationship issues with people of all ages.
	David Burkett, LCSWI have over twenty five years of counseling experience, offering individual, marital and family therapy. I have a great deal of personal experience on this level, having been married for 40 years, and having 3 adult children. I have professional experience in working with a broad age group from 5 to over 100 years of age, and have had the experience of caring for elderly parents, including my 97 year old father, who continues to live in his own home with the help of his family. Also on a professional level, I have a strong background in working with chronic and terminal illnesses, assisting individuals and family members in adjusting to their changed circumstances, while identifying factors within their control and strategies to help navigate through challenging life experiences. Working through life transitions, and finding meaning in our experiences, is an important feature of my counseling role. Toward this end, I primarily utilize an eclectic approach with an emphasis on brief, short-term psychotherapy skills. I was educated at the University of Kansas, where I obtained a Masters Degree in Social Work, and I am licensed in both Kansas and Missouri.

	Judith Evnen, LCSW “Thanks for being a real person”, is something that clients have expressed through the years-even folks who may be pretty wary at the beginning. It’s an honor to hear, but being with people during rough times, and helping them move forward in a way that suits their values is what we’re working towards. That is the true honor. Using a toolbox including Cognitive Behavioral Therapies; solution-oriented therapy, a dab of dialectical behavioral therapy, humor and strengths-based approaches result in important therapeutic progress. Clients want to know that they will meet with a skilled clinician, will not be judged, that their therapist will work to connect in a meaningful way, and honor their experiences. They also want to be certain that therapy will lead to new insights and change. Therapeutic process isn’t always easy, but it’s achievable with a thoughtful, tailored approach. Let’s work together on concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and death, medical/health situations including strategies for coping with physical pain, assertiveness, family and marital difficulties and sometimes just figuring out the next step to creating a better path in an organized, productive way. Look forward to meeting you, and developing useful tools and insights, together.

	Diane M. Keith, LPCSeeking help can be difficult. We often think we should be able to handle any problem that comes our way. However, everyone needs support at some point in their lives. A major crisis, a life transition, loss, relationship problems, emotional needs, our past interfering with our present, or just daily stressors become too much to deal with alone. We forget our strengths and become isolated, depressed, angry, or make poor choices.As your counselor, I use an eclectic approach to help you find solutions to your problems, rediscover and develop your inner strengths, and acquire valuable communication skills so you may have a happy and healthy relationship with others and yourself!

I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, but my favorite tool is a power tool: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have been using EMDR since 1998 to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other disorders such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues that have their roots in the past. I have also used it to help reduce cravings for nicotine and other substances to prevent relapse. I favor a strengths-based approach, building on what you already know, while teaching you additional skills to manage your feelings, build self-confidence, and cope with stress in your life.

	Martina Windler, MAS/PsyD, CGP Maybe you feel stuck in your life, confused about your feelings and thoughts, or you’re not living your life the way you’d want to. Maybe you’ve noticed that there are patterns in your relationships or at work that are interfering with your goals and that seem to repeat themselves. Maybe there are cultural factors and expectations (family culture or culture in a broader sense) that seem to hold you back or interfere with your hopes and life plans. I can help you explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviors in order to better understand them, for symptom relief, to be more forgiving with yourself, heal and promote personal growth, and move forward. Sometimes it’s painful to look at one’s past and we’d rather avoid it. Sometimes it makes a lot of sense, though, to explore exactly these feelings in order to gain insight into how our past experiences influence the present, and in order to re-evaluate behaviors that might have been adaptive and helpful at one point, but are now interfering with your life and your goals. Together we will be able to discover that you have choices and you will become able to more actively engage life, and use your own strengths to be most true to yourself. I’m supporting you in the making of a more fulfilling life. I’m a caring and supportive psychologist with 9 years of experience as a therapist, and who’s committed to creating a safe and trusting, collaborative environment and therapeutic relationship as a foundation for exploration. Together we’ll seek to identify opportunities for growth and healing, and identify limiting beliefs, feelings and behaviors that give you the chance to experience real choice in your life. I customize my approach to each patient’s needs and preferences, integrating psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral and humanistic approaches. I provide psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, couples, families and groups struggling with a range of interpersonal and emotional issues and from diverse backgrounds, in English, Spanish, and German. I specialize in treating people struggling with painful issues related to anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, shame, life transitions, feelings of stagnation, grief, stress, Trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, paraphilias, getting in trouble with law enforcement.
