I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Kansas and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state Louisiana. I have over 30 years of counseling experience. My approach is holistic in nature. Utilizing tools and techniques derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, my goal is to empower and nurture each individual in Mind, Body, and Spirit. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first step toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you throughout the journey. Life gets hard sometimes and there are many aspects/changes we are not able to control. Working together we can develop a plan of action to move forward toward a better, healthier well-being, fine tuning the Mind, Body, and Spirit. Utilizing a variety of tools and techniques, we can explore, mold, modify, and heal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I won't guarantee success, but my ultimate goal for you is to gain control of your thoughts, your feelings, and your behaviors in order for you to embody power and enhance your overall health, well-being, and present life situation.

27 years offering treatment
My name is Bob McElwee, and I have been a clinical therapist for more than 25 years. I am a retired clergyman, and I currently work as a teacher and chaplain at a boys boarding school in Southeast Kansas. My wife and I have raised seven children, and we currently have 15 grandchildren. I have earned master’s degrees in literature, theology, and clinical psychology. Additionally, I also have an associate degree as a motorcycle repair and maintenance technician. In addition to riding and repairing Harley Davidson motorcycles, I enjoy gardening, carpentry, scuba diving, long distance bicycle riding, model trains, exercise, travel, and reading. As a clergyman I have considerable experience in marriage preparation, couples counseling, divorce adjustment, and grief and bereavement therapy. As a clinical therapist most of my work has been with individual mood disorders (e.g. anxiety and depression). I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT). As such I have worked mostly with people in stressed relationships that have produced individual disfunctions and flawed coping strategies. My theoretical basis for most of my therapeutic interventions is most accurately described as “Cognitive-Behavioral.” Even so I take “Script Theory” seriously and find it a useful tool in helping people to re-conceptualize and organize their personality structure and characteristics. In this regard I am currently investigating “Narrative Therapy” and its theoretic techniques. At base I am an optimistic person who believes that people have the ability to recover from past negative experiences if given proper tools, techniques, and encouragement. I enjoy assisting people as they create a productive, responsible, principled, and creative life that they can be proud of, and enjoy.
