Justin Grotheer

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individual adults. I support clients navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy can help you better understand yourself, strengthen self-trust, and the clinical belief that any person can change course in life at any time.

I draw from approaches such as EFT, IFS, ACT, and integrative experiential techniques, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore emotions, patterns, and strategies that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself and the relationships that matter most.

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!

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Kansas


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.

Brandi Starks

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Overland Park, KS


You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.

I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.

I specialize in:

  • Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
  • High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
  • Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.

Why Work With Me?

I offer a "cozy" office experience in Houston, TX, and convenient virtual care across 7 states ( DE, FL, GA, IA, KS, MT, and TX). My goal is to make mental health easy, accessible and relatable.
