You're navigating something hard right now, whether that's anxiety, depression, grief, a major life transition, or stress that just won't let up. You don't have to figure it out alone. I'm Joseph, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people move through uncertainty with confidence. My work is grounded in a simple belief: when we accept change and prepare for it thoughtfully, we transform it from a source of crisis into an opportunity for growth .

Everyone experiences seasons of uncertainty, loss, transition, or feeling stuck. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, chronic illness, or overwhelming stress, you don't have to do it alone. My role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, build resilience, and develop practical strategies to move forward with confidence.

In addition to providing therapy, I work as a Care Progression Social Worker in a hospital setting, where I help patients and families navigate some of life's most difficult moments. This experience has reinforced my belief that meaningful change happens when people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make thoughtful decisions. I earned my Master of Social Work and am licensed in both Missouri and Kansas. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you create lasting, meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

Dr. Ryan Hale

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


I started out working in college sports as a trainer and eventually began consulting with athletes and coaches after graduate school. My career path later took me through 10 years with an ambulance service, 2 years as a community service officer and 4 years as a crisis counselor embedded with a police department. I've also spent a considerable amount of time teaching psychology as a college professor. Because of this rather unique skill set, I have a heart for athletes, rescue workers and students.

Find the right therapist 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 Mental Health Therapist in Kansas

Searching for therapists in Kansas starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Kansas has a wide mix of therapists across urban and rural areas, so available care may vary by location. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.

Location, format, and scheduling can shape which therapist is the right fit in practice. In Wichita, Topeka, Kansas City, and surrounding communities, some people prefer in-person sessions close to home or work, while others choose virtual therapy for more flexibility. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their style, what concerns they often support, and what a first session may look like.

The cost of therapy in Kansas varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated session costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your details to confirm your coverage for your location. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

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