Discover Counseling

At Discover Counseling, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and supportive environment to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Our team of licensed therapists is dedicated to providing a welcoming and non-judgmental space for individuals, families, and couples to work through their challenges and achieve their goals.

Our Services

We offer a range of services, including individual therapy, family and couples therapy, and resources for those seeking to learn more about the therapeutic process. Our therapists are licensed professionals with extensive training and experience in addressing a wide range of issues, from anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns to trauma, relationships, and personal growth.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy at Discover Counseling often begins with a sense of crisis or discontent, and may focus on stopping unwanted behaviors, understanding relational distress, processing grief or loss, managing stress, or simply feeling better. As treatment progresses, our therapists work with clients to develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and confidence, as well as improve their relationships and overall sense of purpose.

Family and Couples Therapy

Family and couples therapy at Discover Counseling typically begins with a focus on repairing trust, stopping unwanted behaviors, and finding deeper understanding within relationships. Our therapists work with clients to understand conflict in attachment bonds, address past trauma and abuse, and establish conditions for secure attachment. We also help couples improve their capacity for attunement to one another's emotional states and attachment needs.

Charles has an emphasis in Marriage, Family, and Couples counseling and is currently a candidate at the Greater Kansas City Psychoanalytic Institute.
