Therapy is a brave step! I am here to listen, support, help, and encourage you as we explore your needs and wants. Our goal will be to overcome roadblocks in your life and help you achieve your personal goals. I want this to be a valuable and beneficial experience for you. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a Social Worker our work will be very solution focused, although we may look at all aspects of your life in order to determine the roots of what is going on in your world. Originally from Nebraska, I have called the KC metro area home for 14 years. I love anything involving being outdoors, or family time! I have worked with people from all walks of life and believe compassion holds no bounds. There is no topic I will not broach and no truth too big. I do this work because I enjoy helping others find their own version of happy. I will offer you a reliable, nonjudgmental space filled with compassion and understanding. I look forward to getting to know you!

Rhonda Palmer
Welcome! I’m Rhonda Palmer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience in the field of social work, licensed in Missouri, Texas, and Arizona. I enjoy supporting clients navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, neurodivergent experiences (including autism and ADHD), and more. As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional and Autism Spectrum Clinical Specialist, I’m passionate about walking alongside people as they build resilience, heal old wounds, and step into their full, authentic selves. I believe everyone’s path is deeply personal, and that moving forward often unfolds more fully when we don’t have to do it alone. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on creating a space where you can feel genuinely seen, heard, and honored for who you are, not just how you present. I welcome people who may have felt misunderstood, masked their truth to get by, or questioned whether therapy could ever feel safe for them. I recognize the toll of masking, invalidation, and navigating systems that weren’t built for neurodivergent ways of being. I don’t view autism or ADHD as problems to be fixed, but as natural, valid, and valuable ways of experiencing the world. Whether you prefer directness, spaciousness, or flexibility, we’ll work together to create a space that fits you. While I may draw from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Solution-Focused Therapy, I aspire to adapt these tools to your unique processing style. Also, I’m currently pursuing certification in Brainspotting, a powerful somatic modality that supports emotional healing without forcing words, when words aren’t enough. Because life doesn’t follow a script, I’ll strive to do my best to meet you where you’re at, with presence, flexibility, and care. Whether you’re moving through anxiety, life transitions, sensory overload, relational disconnect, or a desire to better understand and reconnect with yourself, I’m here to walk with you. I’m not here to fix you. Instead, I’m here to get curious with you, hold space, and co-create something real. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” — Albert Einstein “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” — Nelson Mandela

Stacy Bernard
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in the field for over 35 years. I work primarily with adults who present with depression, anxiety, job stress, parenting stress, struggling with grief and loss. I also have experience in working with people who are dealing with the many transitions of life: marriage, divorce, retirement, aging parents and nearing end of life. My counseling style is warm, friendly, with a bit of humor. I am client centered/focused. We will begin with where you are. Seeking help can be a difficult decision to make. You have made that first difficult step in exploring and seeking help. My training/approach is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psycho-dynamic. I tend to focus on teaching you skills to help you manage your symptoms, thinking process, and communication style. Your treatment plan will be individualized to meet your needs. Change is difficult. Nobody likes change. But, if you are ready and willing to do the work, I am willing to be your guide and help you during this process. I look forward to working with you.

Stephanie Wideman
Hi there! I am so glad you are here. Take a moment. Yes, right now, take a deep breath. I’ll be here. Exhale. Be proud of yourself. Today, you showed up. You are here and you are willing to consider taking the next step. Well done! I believe, life is full of emotion. It makes us laugh and cry… sometimes both in the same moment. It can be hard as we journey through it to see the forest for the trees… to see beauty instead of pain. Wherever you are along your journey you do not have to travel alone. My name is Stephanie Wideman. I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Missouri. I have 20 years of experience coming alongside others, from children to older adults, on their journey as a guide. You will always lead, because we are going where you want to go. Together we can forge a path of perspective and self awareness; replacing lies with truth and be able to take in all of the beauty of the journey along the way. Each person's destination and goals are unique. My guidebook (clinical approach techniques) is diverse. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves, because I believe you get out of therapy what you put into it. I am a Christian and draw my clinical approaches heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (known as CBT) aligned with the Biblical principles of grace, love, and mercy. At all times, as your guide it is important to me that you feel safe, respected, heard, encouraged, empowered, and challenged. Yes, we can do hard things. Now, you did not come this far to only come this far. Grab your favorite mug and find a place of solace. Let’s journey through together.
