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.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated with patterns that don’t seem to change. Maybe anxiety is constant, depression has drained your motivation, ADHD is affecting your focus, or past trauma continues to resurface. You want clarity, stability, and relief — not just for today, but long term. You want to feel like yourself again, function better at school or work, and regain control of your emotions instead of feeling controlled by them.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use challenges, emotional overwhelm, and difficult life transitions. Many of the clients I support feel exhausted from carrying stress, self-doubt, unhealthy coping patterns, or the emotional weight of trying to manage everything on their own.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. Together, we’ll work toward understanding what’s keeping you stuck, strengthening healthier coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change that supports your emotional wellbeing and everyday life.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Overland Park, KS

Finding addiction therapists in Overland Park starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with addiction counseling, substance use, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or medication-assisted care coordination. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

In a mid-size market like Overland Park, you may find local therapists near home, work, or nearby Kansas City, along with virtual options that expand your search. Recovery can involve changes over time, so it helps to choose a therapist whose approach feels steady, respectful, and nonjudgmental. You can also compare appointment availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they talk about addiction care, harm reduction, relapse prevention, and related concerns before you book.

Addiction therapy in Overland Park can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, partners with a wide range of insurance plans nationally, and shows estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
