Complex Trauma & Attachment Therapist in Kansas City

Therapy for adults and teens who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or difficult relationships

HI, I’M GLAD YOU’RE HERE.

I'm Crystle, a Kansas City trauma therapist specializing in complex/developmental trauma, attachment wounds, and nervous-system informed therapy. I work with teens and adults in Kansas and Missouri through in-person therapy in Overland Park and telehealth.

Maybe you’re a high-achiever who sees your pace isn’t sustainable but feels stuck running on fumes. Maybe you’re neurodivergent, highly sensitive, and struggling to get your partner to understand what you need— heck, sometimes YOU don’t even understand what you need, so you unconsciously push people away. Often clients come to me saying: “Why did I do that ‘self-sabotage’ thing AGAIN?”or, “Logically I know I'm okay, but I don't FEEL okay!"

Somatic and relational tools are critical to a FELT-sense of wellbeing, as well as an understanding of the neurobiological influences of stress and trauma on our overall health. Symptoms like anxiety, depression, constant worrying, and even sleep issues are some of the ways the body lets us know something is wrong. You’re not damaged in need of fixing, you may be injured in need of healing. Just as a cut heals with proper care, our psychological wounds can integrate when given the appropriate environment. In a safe therapy space, we address the internal and external obstacles to your wellbeing using a collaborative approach, and the latest neuroscience, attachment, and trauma-informed resources.

My job is to support you through the confusion and overwhelm, helping you to explore and integrate what’s keeping you stuck, so you can finally regain clarity and agency in your life.

Wherever you are on your journey, you deserve an ally.
