Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas. My focus includes anxiety, depression, relationship & family issues, life changes, loss & grief. I consider It a privilege and pleasure to work with you to learn your individual story. We all have ups and downs, hopes and dreams, heartbreak and loss, success and failure, fears and regrets. All of us. My belief is that the answers are inside of us, and with processing, education, tools, coping strategies, understanding, compassion, and a plan, we can make those next steps. This is where counseling starts. A safe place to share who you are, where you have been, where you are now, and where you want to go. I am here to do just that with you. I look forward to working with you!

Everyone needs support for the struggles in life. The influences of society and culture make it difficult for most of us to live our best kind of life. I know what it’s like to fight these influences in making my own queer identity shine bright. No one should go through the process of coming out without support or without knowing the values and strengths that make them their best self. With me you’ll get a Strengths-based and Solution-focused therapy which is backed by my expertise and insights from the last 12 years of social work experience. Our teamwork will highlight and develop the strengths and values you have to help you get through this tough time and help you appreciate what makes you unique. Let’s start this adventure!

Michael James
Taking the step to participate in therapy/counseling takes tremendous courage and desire for something in one's life to be different. As a therapist, my job is to create an atmosphere that encourages alliance between therapist and client, a key component for successful therapy. I consider myself primarily a generalist in types of clients I work with as I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and groups. The therapy relationship makes the theory and techniques used most effective. Building this is the first task in a therapeutic relationship. Through this alliance clients and I venture on a journey often anxiety-provoking (as any/all change is) and develop skills and strategies to managed problems and resolve difficulties. My theoretical approach draws from many areas. The primary influence is cognitive-behavioral theory. What is best and most effective is very individual to each client and situation.
