Therapists in Baldwin City, KS
Baldwin City, Kansas began as a trailing stop on the Santa Fe Trail and was called Palmyra. It was a small town with a blacksmith shop and stable, a hotel, one lawyer, a drug store, two doctors and a tavern. Even though the population of Baldwin City is about 5,000, it is home to Baker University, the oldest 4-year university in the state of Kansas. Competition is rife at the University and it is common for students to be under stress and, at times, emotional turmoil.
A Baldwin City-area therapist can give you the tools to cope with any problems you may be experiencing. The professional therapist is available should you feel the need for some constructive advice to deal with the stresses that University life entails.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for the State of Kansas, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota, and a Licensed Professional Counselor for the State of Arizona. I have been working with clients in outpatient settings since 2011. Typical concerns that I have experience with are anxiety and/or mild depression, relationship issues, supporting people through separation and divorce, grief and loss, parenting, stress management, PTSD, and support for faith/spiritual life. I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy quite useful and effective, so I tend to use that whenever it seems fitting. I do my best to make sure that I ascertain what approach works best with each client. I want to be flexible and sensitive to your needs and personality. I believe that if you feel safe with me and that you can trust me, that's the most important aspect of working together. I look forward to working with you!
