People who make a deep commitment to themselves to become emotionally healthy are willing to go to the lengths to learn about their emotional selves and to do what is required to release buried emotions. This is often an uncomfortable and difficult journey when you begin, but I promise you great joy once you've gotten over the first few hurdles. Once you make this commitment your journey to identify your issues and release buried emotions will become much easier. To think outside the box is to look further and to try not thinking of the obvious things, but to try thinking of the things beyond them. This is my greatest strength. Using my broad range of interests and experiences, I strive to have a unique perspective when approaching your issues. My goal is to offer you a dedicated, committed and passionate therapist, who formulates and employs creative coping skills to help you overcome life challenges. Being a motivating and inspirational mentor and coach, I help to instill successful performance in individuals and couples. As an instinctive and attentive listener, I will help you uncover your strengths and offer you a unique individualized plan of success. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Kansas and Missouri. I received a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology at Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri. I added a certification as a Personal Trainer through Smart Fitness because mental health, diet and exercise go hand in hand.

I have 20 years experience working with a variety of issues, including depressed patients, PTSD (combat, domestic and other traumas) anxiety, aging, and cognitive problems resulting in difficulty communicating rationally and calmly. I have worked 5 years in substance abuse, worked with homeless severely mentally ill and nine and a half years working with service members and their families. My perspective is more long term. As a mother and a grandmother I tend to think beyond immediate consequences and impact of one's actions. My thought is that I need to know what you want therapy to do for you and we work together to find a path to your goal. I am less prescriptive than questioning and working to find out what fits you best. We may start with smaller goals to get you where you are going or you may have decided what you think will work best for you. Cooperation in therapy means that you can leave the therapeutic environment ready to steer your own course rather than advice giving which may cause you to second guess yourself. For therapy to be successful we must be guided by your goals and vision for yourself. If ever you feel we need a course correction I am ready and willing to offer treatment in line with your beliefs and insight. I am strengths based in my approach. You have gotten along this far because of the strength and skills you possess. Therapy will build on the strengths you already possess and add other skills to your strength inventory. When people are depressed and anxious or have other disturbances they tend to focus on "what's wrong with me" ignoring the fact that they have already lived through 100% of the challenges life has thrown their way. Let's find out what your strength inventory is and find new skills to move you on the path that you choose. HOURS Monday through Thursday between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM Monday through Thursday between 1 PM and 4 PM Monday through Wednesday between 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM Saturday morning 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Evangeline Suppes
Hello:) My name is Evangeline Suppes. I am a licensed clinical social worker practice in Missouri, and a licensed specialist clinical social worker in the State of Kansas. I have been in the field for 16 years. My goal in my practice is to meet clients where they are and provide proper support during their unique journeys. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This approach often helps my clients with developing a better understanding in the relations between feelings, thinking, and behavior. I primarily utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI) in my practice, which it allows me to build a rapport with my clients and develop a deeper understanding of their perspective while staying focused on their goals in treatment. It is important to me that my clients feel they are heard and understood during the working relationship. I have extensive experience in providing individual and group therapy to adults who are dealing with emotional difficulties and coping with changes in their lives. In the past 8 years, I have been heavily investing my time in providing clinical services in the correctional setting. I often cooperate psycho-education surrounding various topics to support each individual in navigating their goals. I stand for promoting client self-determination and aim for supporting individual to make healthy, pro-social decisions in life. When working with clients, I’m clear and respectful. I believe honestly and sincerity enhance working relationship with clients.

Dr. Jon Mandracchia
I am a firm believer that everybody can benefit from counseling, whether you find yourself in the depths of despair or are just wanting some mental health maintenance. And I'd be happy to support you along your mental health journey. I'm a licensed psychologist in two states (Missouri and Mississippi) and have experiences providing mental health services to adults in a range of settings, including outpatient clinics, medical and psychiatric hospitals, college counseling centers, and even state and federal prisons. I most strongly identify with the cognitive-behavioral orientation of therapy, which is to say that I think problematic beliefs, attitudes, and thinking patterns are a major reason why people experience mental health problems. So, a major focus in my work with clients is identifying and changing those problematic cognitions. I also believe we, as humans, are "hard-wired" to be part of a social group, and so interpersonal relationships and interactions are often a major focus in my work with clients as well. However, I believe one of the most important factors for a person to make positive change in counseling is the relationship between the counselor and the client. I strive to create the best working relationship as possible with each client by being as genuine and empathic as possible. I've been described as a particularly warm and friendly person, and even though counseling can be serious business, I use humor to bond with clients and help them feel more comfortable in the counseling setting. In the end, change can only come from you - the client. I see my role as a counselor to help you clarify your goals, stay motivated, build insight, and develop skills you can use to be happier throughout the rest of your life!
