Hey! You’re seeking help because it is needed. That’s huge! Many people don’t seek treatment or therapy but you’re already on this path. Some folks don’t find the path. You’ve got some idea of what you need and are ready for someone to be along with you on this journey. We both know humans succeed in a team not so much when we are alone. First, give yourself credit because it takes a lot of courage to not do things alone and to be willing to open up to someone you do not know. Your courage is where our journey together starts. It would be an honor to be a part of your team in life, for life!

Dr. Lauren Thomas

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Kansas City, KS


If you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, mood shifts, or ADHD symptoms and wondering whether medication could help, you’re not alone. I work with teens and adults navigating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and stress-related challenges.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my mix of medical expertise and genuine compassion. With a background in both psychiatry and intensive medical care, I understand how closely the mind and body are connected. My goal is to make care accessible and consistent, which is why I offer flexible scheduling and telehealth appointments.

In our first sessions, we’ll review your history, clarify your symptoms, and determine whether medication is appropriate. If it is, we’ll build a treatment plan that feels realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with your goals and overall health.

Outside of work, I find balance through yoga, comedy, time with my dog, and enjoying sunny days — reminders that healing comes from both steady progress and moments of joy.

Hello, and welcome, my name is Caroline I know that choosing to seek mental-health support takes strength, and I want you to know that you will not face this journey alone. If you've ever felt like seeking Psychiatric care means meeting a busy, rushed provider who treats you like a diagnosis, I get it. Our world has a way of speeding up healthcare to the point where it's impersonal. I started my own practice to change that. I have experience with all levels of care from severe hospitalizations to routine medication refills. I am particularly passionate about anxiety and in helping my clients who tell me their "brains just won't turn off"...learn how to slow down.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kansas

Finding the right psychiatrist in Kansas starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor your response over time. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) also prescribe and manage medication and are widely available across the state. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a prescribing provider may be the right fit. If you're looking for talk therapy, a therapist may be a better match — and many people benefit from working with both.

Kansas has a well-documented shortage of psychiatrists, particularly outside the Kansas City metro area. Cities like Wichita, Topeka, Lawrence, and Olathe have growing provider networks, but wait times can still be long through traditional directories. Virtual psychiatry appointments have made it easier to connect with a licensed provider from anywhere in the state, whether you're in Overland Park or a more rural community. On Headway, you can browse providers who are accepting new patients and book directly — with both virtual and in-person options available.

Psychiatry sessions in Kansas can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session — though costs vary based on your location and exact coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
