Anxiety and Depression Therapy in Kansas City

Compassionate Support for When Life Feels Heavy

Anxiety and depression are among the most common reasons people seek therapy, and yet they can often feel the hardest to talk about. Whether you’re constantly overwhelmed or feeling stuck in a fog you can’t shake, you’re not alone.

At Owings Counseling, I provide counseling for anxiety and depression in Kansas City for children, teens, and adults. My goal is to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, find relief, and begin feeling like yourself again.

Understanding Anxiety and Depression

Both anxiety and depression can look different from person to person. You might notice some of the following signs:

  • Constant worry or racing thoughts

  • Difficulty sleeping or relaxing

  • Panic attacks or physical tension

  • Fatigue, low energy, or feeling emotionally flat

  • Negative self-talk or low self-worth

  • Withdrawing from people or activities you used to enjoy

  • Trouble concentrating, staying motivated, or making decisions

Whether you're struggling with one or both, therapy can help you make sense of what you're feeling and learn new ways to cope.

How Therapy Can Help

As a therapist for anxiety and depression in Kansas City, I provide a supportive space where we can:

I often integrate CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), person-centered therapy, and creative tools like sand tray therapy to meet your unique needs.
