Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 5.3 mi away • Kansas City, MO


Welcome! My name is Rebecca and I specialize in helping those that have experienced trauma. My interest in therapy rooted from being part of a military family and noticing people that were left to sort through the pieces trauma left behind. I completed my education at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and developed a lot of impactful tools since. I worked with survivors of violence for 5 years while working with a variety of other populations in private practice. I have a passion for my own ongoing education and bringing what I learn to session. I enjoy connecting with people and recognizing we're all doing our best.

Angelique Foye-Fletcher

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.8 mi away • Kansas City, MO


Hey there! I’m Angelique, the therapist you want if you’re ready to understand yourself on a deeper level and actually start feeling different in your everyday life.

Inner child healing and boundary-setting are my passions. I want to hear what you’re going through and together find a way toward experiencing life that feels calmer, safer, and more connected—especially in your relationships.

I’ll create a space where it’s safe to explore, process, and just be yourself, without judgment. With me, you can expect honesty, humor, a little sarcasm, and yes... maybe even some swearing if that’s what the moment calls for.

I have a Master of Science in Child Development and Family Studies with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from Purdue University, and licensed in both MO & KS. Therapist since 2017.

Brittany Holland

Brittany Holland

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Liberty, MO


Brittany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master of social work degree from Walden University. With over seven years of experience in the field of social work, she brings a wide-ranging background that includes working with the Children’s Division, in hospital settings, with geriatrics, and school-based social work. This diverse experience has given her a deep understanding of individuals across the lifespan and the unique challenges they face. Helping others through therapy is more than just a career, it’s a calling. Brittany believes deeply in the power of trauma-informed care and support, and the healing that comes from having a safe, judgment-free space to process and grow. She also believes in the importance of identifying the root cause of symptoms, rather than just managing surface-level issues.

Heather Bauer

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Liberty, MO


I have over 15 years of experience as a therapist after receiving a Master's Degree at the University of Missouri. In 2011, I went through extensive training to become EMDR certified. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as addiction counseling. In March of 2025 I became certified in grief counseling.

I am passionate about guiding my clients toward their goals with warmth and non-judgement. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual and strive to strike a balance between helping someone understand the "why" and the "how" throughout therapy. Asking why did I come to be here; what have I been doing that isn't working anymore and how can I go about change? Pain, whether relational or within work-life can be an invitation to make the changes necessary to grow. I believe that growth toward a successful and healthy future is possible with deeper understanding of one's past and taking steps toward change.

I have interests and experience in serving adult clients who have experienced a trauma in the past, relational loss, anxiety/depression, abuse, career challenges and addiction. My training in EMDR and Internal Family Systems have helped me as I come alongside those who have experienced various types of trauma. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which offers practical tools for change.

If you are looking for a warm therapist who will gently challenge you to take a look at your situation through fresh eyes, I can help. Everyone experiences pain in life. Sometimes all we need is for someone to walk alongside us for a season.
