Kristen Burrus, Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist

I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Addiction Counselor, proudly serving individuals in both Kansas and Missouri. With a holistic and integrative approach to mental health, I specialize in supporting clients through complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and a range of life challenges. As a certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, I combine this evidence-based modality with traditional talk therapy to help clients process difficult experiences and move toward lasting healing. My work is grounded in empathy and clarity, blending structured, goal-oriented methods with a deeply compassionate therapeutic environment.

Beyond therapy, I also offer coaching services focused on whole-person well-being—helping clients explore emotional, mental, physical, and relational wellness. I believe in the transformative power of resilience and the possibility of healing, and I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they grow, heal, and rediscover their inner strength.

If you?ve had a negative experience with therapy in the past, you?re not alone?and it doesn?t mean therapy isn?t for you. The right fit can make all the difference. Healing takes courage, and sometimes it starts with trying again. You deserve support that feels safe, respectful, and truly helpful. Don?t give up on your healing.

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision, and the right fit matters. Consider factors like their experience with your specific concerns, their therapeutic style, and how comfortable and supported you feel during sessions. Trust, safety, and connection are key?it?s okay to ask questions and take your time finding someone who truly aligns with your needs and values.
