ANXIETY THERAPIST IN KANSAS CITY, MO AND AUSTIN, TX

IT’S TIME TO INVEST IN YOURSELF

MADISON WISE, LPC

You’re here because you’re losing the battle with that obnoxious voice in your head.

The one that tells you that you’re not enough, you’re unlovable, and that everyone is mad at you. You’re tired of listening to it and believing that it’s right. You’re sick of overthinking, overworking, over-forgiving, and overcompensating for the belief that you’ve got to earn things like love and rest.

Because you know that you wouldn’t say these things to anyone else. You know that you’re worth the attention, effort and compassion that you give to others. And unfortunately, the people in your life have not been able to read your mind and make you feel heard and seen. But you want to be heard and seen. You’re ready for better.

YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT SPOT.

HOW I WORK

At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that we all have an innate drive towards healing & growth.

It’s my goal to help you access that power within you. It’s always been there and will always be there, but sometimes we lose touch with it. Life happens, oppressive systems are real, and there’s generally a bunch of other messaging that can make us lose touch with our own power and belief in our own goodness.

It’s important to me to learn about you, your lived experiences, and to help you access the healing and reach the goals that you most want to achieve. Together we’ll find ways to address the obstacles and build the courage you need that will help you move through stuck points and past pain, so that you can access your healing, growth, and inner strength and confidence. I’ll help you access that through structure, navigation, and ideally enough safety that you feel free to drop any masks and speak openly about your experiences and innermost thoughts.
