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 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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.8 mi away • Overland Park, KS


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.

Dr. Lauren Thomas

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • 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.
