Angela Kieler
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor/Art Therapist and I have a wide range of experience working with clients of all ages. I have worked with children in special education, elderly adults in hospice, and provided art therapy as well as individual counseling to patients who suffer from addictions and/or severe and persistent mental illness. In addition to working with psychiatric patients, I have provided education to family members through the National Alliance of Mental Illness. As an Qualified Mental Health Professional at Truman Medical Center in KC, MO I have worked with some of the most difficult cases in the community and also have personal experience with family members who suffer from mental illness. Having both professional and personal experience has made me very aware of how difficult it is to navigate mental health services for yourself or for a loved one when trying to access help for mental illness. As for my therapeutic approaches, I consider myself to be open minded, flexible, and willing to provide whatever would be best suited for each client I work with. I have a humanistic approach and can provide Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Existential Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Art Therapy.

Lindsay Scheinerman
Conflict in life is unavoidable. We can be aware of it slowly creeping up on us or a life changing event can happen suddenly without any hints. These challenges can cause trauma, anxiety, depression or lower our self-esteem. They can impact our relationships or daily activities. They can cause us to look for comfort in all the wrong places. We cannot move forward in life without facing conflicts. Let's work together to manage conflict in healthy ways. I am here to work with individuals or families move forward from conflicts in their life and to help them learn to build positive and peaceful solutions. My counseling techniques are focused in putting the clients unique set of strengths into action while creating solutions to reach their goals. I have over 13 years of experience working with adults, families and youth. Please check out my website to learn more about my experiences and counseling practices.
