Dr. Ophelia Blackwell
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and a national certified clinical counselor. I completed my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision with an emphasis in marriage and family studies at Kansas State University. I have worked as a counselor for over 10 years in many settings which include, corrections, military, hospital, college, mental health agency and private practice. I have worked with all types of clients experiencing depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, anger, personality disorders and substance and alcohol abuse. My desire in therapy is to see individuals, couples, and families restored and healthy in every area of their lives. I use an integrative approach to therapy. My primary treatment approach is client-centered therapy. I find this approach beneficial because it helps to establish and maintain a strong therapeutic relationship. Additionally, I am a trained EMDR therapist, a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Specialist (CCBTS), and I utilize attachment approaches in my work with individuals, families, and couples who are experiencing distress in their interpersonal relationships.

Kimberly Marcos
I have been a licensed therapist for 10 +years. I have helped adults as individuals that are seeking someone they can trust, to help them attain their goals. Having a therapist that you are comfortable with is key. Therapy can be short-term and sometimes the issues you are facing require a journey that takes more time. What do you need help with, and what can I help you with, to find solutions that work for best for you? Partnering with a therapist can really make a difference. I am non-judgmental and accepting. Many people are struggling now with isolation or no support system. It is not uncommon to need more support at any point of your life. Therapy is here to help you feel better when stuck. It is not uncommon to feel ashamed, sharing with family and friends while needing extra support. Therapy is a great tool to help work through issues when you don't know where to turn. Every client will be treated with respect and dignity. It's not about "fixing you", but to help you, be empowered and work together to make a plan that makes your life better. Therapy is most beneficial when matched with the right professional. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I've worked as a therapist in the following settings: College Counselor In-Home Therapist Hospice House Domestic Violence Shelter My undergrad and Master's program were both for me to attain my status as LSCSW in Kansas, and LCSW in Missouri. I look forward to working with you! Kimberly Marcos, LSCSW, LCSW

Do you feel like you "don't fit in?" Perhaps it feels awkward because you always feel at a loss for what to say, or maybe everyone else seems enamored by topics to discuss that you don't find interesting. Maybe you do great with most people but still have that one relative that triggers you into dysregulation every time you talk to them? Even the guru Ram Dass said, "If you think you're enlightened, go spend a week with your family." Families can be tough!! Maybe you aren't sure what you would say in therapy because you don't really have words for your experiences, or feel some shame about your circumstances. If this sounds like you, try not to be discouraged! Look at any map and note that there are often multiple roads leading to the same place. Just because you are not on "their" road does not necessarily mean you are on the "wrong" road. Albert Einstein said, "I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that do not work. We could explore new ways that hopefully DO work better for you! I have thirty-five years experience using a very eclectic approach that draws from multiple modalities. I have a background in traditional psychotherapy, but prefer to come from a "whole person" strength-based approach rather than the traditional illness-based approach. I was an LPN years ago and have taken additional graduate level courses in natural and alternative healing as well as a health coaching course because I am passionate about the food/mood/lifestyle connection between physical and mental health and in natural health and healing. I work with adult clients and incorporate techniques such as use of visual imagery, music, art, guided meditations, movement, rituals, aromatherapy, spirituality, "energy," food, sleep, etc., alongside evidence-based practices like DBT, CBT, polyvagal theory, epigenetics, attachment theory, compassionate inquiry, motivational interviewing, a hybrid of a combination of IFS/Brainspotting/EMDR/FLASH incorporated into a strength-based perspective to provide a more holistic approach to healing mind/body/spirit. I frequently give good educational resource links to provide additional opportunities to follow up on issues brought into the sessions. This combination of techniques can help you access your creative expression and intuition to assist you in your ability to identify limiting beliefs and behaviors in your life and move toward your own natural ability to heal in a safe environment with a therapist that will honor your unique contribution to this life's journey. I am LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, polyamory, KINK, and other expansive identity friendly, and can seek to connect people who have lost faith in church religion to consider and find their own unique sense of spirituality, however they might define that. I myself am a spiritual animist, a reiki master, lover of animals, plants, books, music, and gardening. I enjoy making my own personal care products using herbs and essential oils, and in tweaking delicious recipes into a "healthier" version of delicious. My soul is most at home in the mountains and around clear water. I am an INFJ/Guardian, genderfluid, pansexual, and choose not to embrace any particular pronouns. I continue to learn new things almost every day. Ram Dass also said, "We are all just walking each other home. " Kindness, compassion, and respect for one another can go such a long way. I have no desire to compete with you because I want you to win, too. I believe a win/win beats a win/lose every time! Thank you for looking at my information. If you think we might work well together, please get in touch. If you don't feel a connection to me, there are many other very qualified persons on this site. Don't give up! Keep looking till you find someone that you think you would work well with! Someone is out there in the other profiles that would be a good match for you! I wish you the best, and applaud your courage in being willing to take a look at other options for your life if you are feeling troubled.

I am a Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist licensed in Kansas with 35 years of professional work experience.

I studied Transpersonal psychology at John F. Kennedy University and Saybrook Institute in the San Francisco area. While I use several therapeutic modalities, I am primarily Rogarian in my session work. Treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion is of upmost importance.

Each day, life unfolds in ways we don’t always expect. We encounter moments that leave us baffled, overwhelmed, confused, or emotionally shaken — and far too often, we face those moments feeling alone, ashamed, or pulled away from our own inner needs, no matter who we are or how we identify. Having someone to share these experiences with in a non‑judgmental, affirming space can make all the difference. I’m here to walk alongside you on the healing journey you’re creating, offering support as you reconnect with your strength, clarity, and sense of self. I work with adults 18 and older, offering a safe and supportive space rooted in trauma‑informed care, holistic well‑being, and collaborative partnership. Together, we focus on your goals, self‑love, and strengthening your personal intuition so you can move toward your vision of a grounded and empowered life. Your truth and your experiences deserve to be heard, honored, and understood. I’m here to listen with care and to support you as you move toward the healing path that feels right for you.

Find a therapist near you in Lane, Kansas
Finding a therapist near you in Lane, Kansas starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Kansas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you.
The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Kansas, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Kansas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals.
