We Focus on High-Quality, Evidence-Based Trauma Therapy & Anxiety Treatment

Our office in Lee's Summit focuses on trauma therapy and anxiety treatment, while also offering counseling services for a wide range of mental health issues including depression & chronic pain. In fact, current clinicians practicing out of that office specialize in treating children, teens and young adults. We understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult step to take, and we want to make it as easy as possible for everyone in the community to access the care they need.

Evidence-Based Mental Health Treatment That Meets You Where You Are

What makes our practice unique is that all our mental health clinicians are highly trained in evidence-based counseling techniques, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Exposure Therapy, and EMDR. These techniques have been proven to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health issues, and we're confident that they can help you achieve your goals.

At the same time, we understand that everyone's journey to healing is unique. And, our Lee’s Summit clinicians will meet you where you are in your healing journey. We use counseling techniques that we know from research are really, really effective. Why? Because we believe you deserve the best possible chance of meeting your mental health goals ASAP. But we don’t treat everyone the same. Instead, our clinicians each bring their own unique personality and experience to the table to get to know YOU as an individual. Then, they figure out how to best make those effective counseling techniques work in your unique situation.

Our team of compassionate and experienced therapists is dedicated to helping you work through your struggles and achieve your goals. We believe in a holistic approach to healing and will work with you to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.

What to Expect When You Arrive at Aspire Counseling’s Lee’s Summit office

Our Lee’s Summit office is located in the Bayberry Business Center. When you enter through the first entrance, we are in the third and final building on the left. Our office is on the corner of that building.

When you arrive, come on in and make yourself comfortable in the waiting area. There’s no check-in station, so you do not need to sign in. Your therapist will come out to meet you at your scheduled appointment time.

You’re welcome to help yourself to a drink or snack while you wait. We also keep fidgets and other calming items available to help the space feel comfortable and welcoming.

At Aspire Counseling, our goal is to provide a space that feels safe and calming for our clients. We understand that the environment in which therapy takes place can greatly impact the effectiveness of the treatment. That's why we take great care in decorating our counseling offices to create an atmosphere that is both comforting and empowering. We serve clients of various races, religions, genders, and backgrounds, and we want everyone to feel welcome and at ease in our office.

Essentially, from the moment you walk into our office, we want you to feel empowered to do the hard work of therapy. We consider all five senses in how we organize our spaces. Our office in Lee’s Summit has beautiful natural light spilling into the waiting room. We’ve carefully set it up so you’ll have things to distract you while you wait, snacks, drinks, a diffuser and other small touches to help put you at ease when you arrive. Our goal is to provide a space that feels like a sanctuary where you can relax, reflect, and work towards a better version of yourself.

Accessibility and sensory information:

You do not need to use stairs any stairs to access our Lee’s Summit office. The door does not open automatically but there is sufficient room to navigate on the sidewalk. You walk directly into our space from the parking lot and there is ample nearby parking.

Please note that the restroom is located inside our suite, toward the back of the office, beyond the locked door to the staff area. Because of that, the best time to use the restroom is at the beginning of your session, once your therapist has brought you back. Or if you are waiting with a loved one, please ask their therapist to let you back when they go to the room for their session.

Our waiting area is designed to provide a positive sensory experience. We keep the space stocked with plants, calming lighting, a quiet noise machine, drinks, snacks, and fidgets to support a more comfortable and grounding experience while you wait. That said, if there is anything more we can do to make this a comfortable experience for you, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Can’t make it to our Lee’s Summit counseling office?

While we take great pride in our physical space and always enjoy seeing clients in the office, we understand that many people refer to meet with a therapist online these days. It can be more convenient and easier.

That is why our therapists also offer online therapy or counseling. All of our therapists are able to offer online sessions, so you actually have a great selection of therapists to be matched with if you’re wanting to give online counseling a try.

If you are going to meet with a therapist online, we encourage you to think about creating a comfortable space for yourself. It’s important that you meet with your therapist from a space that ensures complete privacy. Additionally, you may think of what else may help you feel comfortable. For example, sitting at your desk and looking at a huge pile of work that needs to be done may not help you feel as relaxed as choosing a comfortable place in your living room.

We can meet with you for therapy online as long as you are located anywhere in the state of Missouri & Kansas. Please note that not all of our clinicians are licensed in Kansas so if you may be attending some sessions while you are in Kansas, please mention that in your initial call.
