Our mission is to empower individuals to overcome their challenges and live a life worth living. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and thrive.

Our Therapies

Our team of experienced therapists offer a range of therapy options to address a variety of emotional challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is one of our core therapies, focusing on emotional experiences and rational thinking processes to find balance and promote emotional regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is another key therapy, which helps individuals heal from traumatic experiences by processing and integrating negative emotions.

Additional Therapies

In addition to DBT and EMDR, we also offer Radically-Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT), which is designed to treat individuals who struggle with high levels of anxiety, depression, and repression of emotions. We also provide therapy options for individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, self-injury, and other mental health challenges.

Our Therapists

Our therapists are licensed professionals with extensive training and experience in various therapy modalities. Our team includes Jill Yates, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri, with specialized training in DBT, EMDR, and RO-DBT. Jill has a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of mental health and a passion for empowering individuals to overcome their challenges.
