You’ve been holding a lot. Maybe it’s anxiety that won’t settle, or something from years ago that still shows up in your body, your sleep, or your relationships. You’re tired of feeling this way, and you want to feel like yourself again.
I’m Kara Collins, a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDRIA Certified Therapist. At Simply Thrive Counseling, I work with adults on trauma, anxiety, and the weight of always being the one who holds it together. I use EMDR to help your mind finish processing what it’s been carrying, and ACT to help you live by what matters to you instead of what you’re afraid of.
I’m kink- and poly-friendly. You won’t need to explain or defend how you love or what you enjoy. Your sessions stay focused on what you came in for.
Sessions are by telehealth for clients located in Missouri and Kansas. I accept insurance through Headway, as well as private pay.
If you’re ready to start, reach out to schedule a consultation. We’ll talk about what’s going on and whether we’re a good fit.
