Hello! My name is Jason Porter. I work with adults, and teens and couples who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or just some general life struggles. I know from experience that life can be difficult, and sometimes getting some help can make all the difference. I love to listen and help others live the life they want to live. I believe this is my purpose and feel blessed to be able to help. I started my mental health career working at a community mental health center for several years. I then moved on to School counseling, and now I am working in private practice.
Hi, my name is Julie Karanja, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have been in the helping profession for over 20 years and have worked at SOZO Therapy Group for more than three years. I consider it an honor to walk alongside individuals who take the brave step of beginning their therapy journey.
I enjoy supporting individuals through grief and loss, relational challenges—including betrayal trauma—and working with women and couples as they navigate their reproductive journeys. I have held a certification in Perinatal Mental Health for over five years, bringing specialized training and care to this area of my work.
Hello! My name is Elijah and I have been a licensed therapist for almost 20 years. I specialize in Anxiety/Panic treatment, Couples/Marital Counseling, and am strongly LGBTQ allied. I would love to connect and discuss more about your needs. I come from a Deaf family and am fluent in American Sign Language.
I work with men, women, couples, and families who feel stuck in their relationships—especially when communication breaks down or emotions run high. Many of my clients are successful at work but find home life more challenging. I’ve worked in leadership roles managing teams and high-pressure decisions, so I understand that world. I bring a mix of counseling, pastoral, and leadership experience, and I create a space that is honest, practical, and non-judgmental.

I work with busy adults and high functioning professional women experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, mood concerns, and menopause related mood changes. As a dual-certified nurse practitioner in both adult-gerontology and psychiatric mental health allows me to take a comprehensive, whole-person approach. My goal is to provide personalized care that feels thoughtful, supportive, and not rushed.

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 Lenexa
Finding the right therapist in Lenexa starts with getting clear on the type of care you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions — or whether you're looking for general talk therapy. Providers in the Lenexa area include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), and psychologists, each with different training and approaches.
Once you know what you're looking for, practical factors like scheduling, location, and session format can help narrow your options. Many therapists in Lenexa offer both in-person and virtual appointments, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Reading a provider's bio before booking can also give you a sense of their style and whether they might be a good match.
Therapy in the Kansas City metro area can be expensive without coverage — but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Lenexa who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
