Janis Irby

photoI am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both Missouri and Kansas, working primarily with adolescents and adults. I’ve worked in a variety of mental health settings, most recently in an outpatient therapy setting, which I have loved. I use elements of several different therapeutic styles to help people deal with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and other issues that can interfere with living your best life. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which can be very helpful in working through past traumatic events. Developing a comfortable therapeutic relationship is key to beginning the process of healing, and it’s important to me to offer a safe and welcoming space where people can feel free to share openly without fear of judgment. I promise you that I will meet you where you are, emotionally, when you come for therapy, and together we will develop a plan for helping you identify and achieve your goals.
