Aspire Counseling Lee’s Summit, MO Therapy Office

Now With a Counseling Office In Lee’s Summit

At Aspire Counseling, we're excited to announce the opening of our new office in Lee's Summit! It’s easily accessed by anyone living or working in Lee’s Summit, Blue Springs or the surrounding area.

Founded in Columbia, Missouri, our group practice specializes in helping individuals overcome trauma and anxiety. Additionally, as we’ve grown over the years we’ve each brought our own specialties to the practice and now treat a wide range of other mental health issues such as depression, identity concerns, interpersonal stressors, grief & more.

With the relocation of one of our clinicians to the Lee's Summit/Blue Springs area, and another spending a lot of time in the area, we realized the need for a dedicated office in this community.

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

Our new office in Lee's Summit continuesto focus on trauma therapy and anxiety treatment, while also offering counseling services for a wide range of mental health issues. 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.

A Safe & Comfortable Counseling Office

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.

Beginning Therapy With a Counselor at the new Lee’s Summit Location

As a private-pay practice, our clinicians charge an average of $125-$150 per session, with a very limited number of reduced rate slots available. We understand that therapy can be costly, but we believe that the investment in yourself and your mental health is worth it.

At this time, we primarily treat teens & college students. However, we do have one clinician who sees children as young as birth through 5 years old another who sees adults all the way through retirement. To begin, just reach out by calling 573-328-2288 ext 1 or through our website and mention to our client care coordinator that you are interested in seeing a therapist at our Lee’s Summit counseling office. She can set you up with any of our therapists at that location or any of our online therapists as well.

We're excited to bring our counseling and therapy services to the Lee's Summit and Blue Springs communities. We look forward to helping you overcome trauma, anxiety, depression and other emotional/mental health concerns to move toward overall wellbeing. If you're ready to take the first step toward healing, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help.

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. Please note that if you are on the Kansas side of the border, our clinicians are not currently licensed to practice in the state of Kansas and won’t be able to meet with you even online if you aren’t physically in Missouri.
