For many of us, the stress of life can sometimes get overwhelming and support from a therapist can help. When it comes to finding a therapist, Olathe, KS can offer a greater variety of choice than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist for your needs can be complicated even in a city. 

There are a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches in psychology, and how effective they are can depend on the mental health challenge they’re addressing, as well as the preferences of the individual. A therapist with specialized training in anxiety disorders may not be the best match for someone who is seeking help for family conflict. The type of therapist that you need may not necessarily be accessible or available in your area. 

This is where online therapy can help. With an online platform like BetterHelp, you get a wider variety of choices. BetterHelp offers access to over 30,000 mental health professionals with expertise in a number of specialties from commitment therapy to EMDR. By filling out an online questionnaire BetterHelp will match you to a licensed professional counselor that meets your individual needs. And because solid rapport and comfort with your therapist can be essential to the success of the therapeutic process, if you need to change therapists at any time you can do so at no additional cost. 

In addition, many people don’t have the time, ability, or bandwidth to attend in-person therapy. Online sessions with BetterHelp are easily fit into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can talk with your therapist from the comfort of your home or office. 

Therapy can be beneficial for any number of purposes. Whether you’re searching for clarity in a current struggle, seeking to learn skills for stress management, want to focus on self-compassion, or explore healing from life experiences, a therapist can help you. For those living in the Overland Park area or Olathe find a0 therapist through BetterHelp to make it simple and easy to get started on the healing and wellness journey.

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
