Individual therapy is a space for people to work through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and more in a one-on-one setting. Entering therapy and choosing a therapist are important decisions, so being an educated and informed consumer is crucial. Our clinicians have served Manhattan, KS, and the surrounding communities for over a decade. Please read over our clinicians' bios to find someone whose approach and specialties feel like the right fit for you. Before scheduling your first appointment, we offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask questions and get a sense for working together. We welcome the feedback and communication at all times.

Sometimes the terminology for mental health practitioners can be confusing. Here are some things to keep in mind when you are searching for someone to see.

• A Licensed Psychologist in Kansas has completed a doctoral-level degree from an accredited university, along with required supervised clinical hours. Psychologists are trained in therapy and assessment, but are not qualified to prescribe medication in Kansas.
• A Licensed Mental Health Clinician (such as an LCSW, LCP, or LCMFT) holds a master's-level degree and state licensure in their specific discipline. Like psychologists, they provide therapy but do not prescribe medication.
• A Psychiatrist is a physician who completed medical school before specializing in psychiatry. Their primary form of treatment is medication management, though some also provide therapy.

At Manhattan Mental Health Services, our team includes both licensed psychologists and licensed mental health clinicians. We do not have a psychiatrist on staff. When medication may be helpful, we refer clients to a psychiatrist or other prescribing professional and coordinate care with a signed release of information, since we typically see clients more frequently than a prescriber does.
