Maegan Carlsten, LSCSW
About me
As a licensed therapist in Kansas, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with compassionate, evidence-based care. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate workplace stress, family dynamics, mood disorders, and personal growth.
My therapeutic approach centers on building resilience, enhancing communication skills, and supporting individuals through significant life stages—from young adulthood to aging. I work closely with diverse populations, including military veterans, first responders, and individuals managing postpartum experiences.
I am committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore self-love, work through guilt and shame, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. My goal is to empower you to build meaningful connections, understand your emotional patterns, and cultivate sustainable personal growth.

Maegan has to be, hands down, the best therapist I've ever had. She listens and doesn't interrupt or overtalk me. She's awesomely awesome! Feel free to pass this along to her.

In the short amount of time that i have spent with better help, Maegan has truly taken the time to listen to my situation and offer me a multitude of helpful suggestions, worksheets and worked with me/ my schedule to find times for us to have live conversations.
