Ray Woods

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


Life doesn't come with a roadmap — but building one is exactly what we do together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and military communities across school, clinical, and community settings. I've sat with people in some of the most demanding circumstances imaginable — from inpatient mental health facilities to active military bases — and I've learned that what helps most isn't a script. It's connection, clarity, and a practical plan that actually fits your life.

I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that hard work and determination lead to better outcomes. That belief has shaped every corner of my career — and how I show up for every person I work with.

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.
