Therapy for Grief in Overland Park, Kansas
Grief touches every part of life. Whether you’ve lost a spouse, parent, child, friend, pregnancy, pet, or relationship, the pain can feel overwhelming.
You may feel lost and unsure of what to do next, unable to think, or disconnected from others around you. You wonder if you’ll feel like yourself again.
Grief therapy offers a way to work through painful emotions, so you can feel safer, reduce feelings of guilt, and learn to carry your grief while continuing to move forward.
ABOUT GRIEF
Grief looks different for everyone. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Grief isn’t limited to the loss of a loved one. We can experience grief whenever something meaningful changes or comes to an end.
Grief is deeply personal, and everyone experiences loss differently. Some people cry, while others may feel numb, angry, anxious, or simply “not like themselves.” You may want to talk about your loss, while someone else may need space. Your grief may change from day to day, and there is no set timeline for healing.
Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to make sense of your unique experience, honor what you've lost, and find a way to move forward while carrying your loss with you.

What are your fees and do you accept insurance?My fee for services is $150 per 50-minute session.
I am currently considered to be an out of network mental health provider.
I am happy to provide you a superbill each month to give to your insurance. Please check with your insurance about your out of network mental health benefits - many of my clients are able to get reimbursement from their insurance.
Why you should consider working with an “out of network” therapist:

Allows us to avoid surprise billing issues, which can lead to lapses in treatment.
Lets us focus on what’s best for you, not what insurance says is best for you!
