Find a therapist in Kansas — covered by insurance

I am able to evaluate and make diagnoses, and/or support existing diagnoses and work with you for a 'best-fit' solution to your needs. So many come from a past of being told they are 'X, Y, Z" and often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed.

My goal is to help find a good treatment start point that resonates with you and provide evidence-based treatment to support your needs, goals, and desires to bring relief and remission, joy and hope.

All options on the table including progressive medication management, psychotherapy and counseling, or referrals for other modalities including deepTMS.

Hello! I am Ellen Heckerman, LSCSW, I have 48 years' experience in counseling with families, and individuals, both adults and children. I enjoy helping clients become their best self and beginning to flourish. Some of the areas I specialize in are Family therapy, marital therapy, treating ADHD in adults and children, treating depression and anxiety, and adjustment disorders . I am a Christian counselor and I can work with you from a faith-based perspective if you like.

The most important goal I have is providing a space where you feel heard and understood. I believe that when someone feels heard, the nervous system begins to heal. I am someone who wants to get to know you and build trust. I hope to provide a space for growth as well as laughter and joy. We all heal a little more when we can laugh with someone. I have 6 years of experience as a counseling graduate and 2 years of counseling experience from grad school. A few of my main areas of focus are anxiety, depression, OCD, attachment, and mood disorders. I specifically enjoy working with children 8 and up, teens, young adults, and women.

I have a master’s degree from the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. I have been described as supportive, direct, caring, and compassionate, with a good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them.

I specialize in supporting women navigating complex experiences that often go misunderstood. This includes women who have experienced harm within spiritual or religious communities—whether that's spiritual abuse, religious trauma, or the complicated grief of leaving a faith tradition. I also work with women managing anxiety, depression, and interpersonal trauma.
