Kaitlyn Christie-Emler, LMSWHello! I am a Licensed Master Social Worker and a graduate of Washburn University. I work with children, adolescents, and families to address depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties and life adjustment issues.
I operate using a person-centered approach, emphasizing an individual’s capacity to create change and enhance the quality of their life. In addition, I incorporate techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma Focused and Play Therapy with children and adolescents.
For more information, please visit my website:
Crystal M. Duclos, Psy.D. is available Thursdays.
I provide individual therapy for mature adolescents and adults for a number of presenting concerns including depression, anxiety and panic, thought disorders, relationship problems, academic issues, and life adjustment difficulties. I tend to utilize supportive listening with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused techniques in therapy sessions.
I also perform general psychological evaluations and pre-surgical weight loss evaluations using a number of objective test measures. At the conclusion of the assessment, I am able to pinpoint specific diagnoses or areas of clinical concern, and then offer specific treatment recommendations.
Therapy is typically not a quick fix, so I gravitate toward individuals who are motivated to be active participants in the therapy process to learn skills that create lasting change.

Tyrus C. Petty, Jr, LSCSW, MDIV. I am a Licensed Specialist Cinical Social Worker in the State of Kansas. I have, over the last 15 years, enjoyed assisting people to close the gap between where they are right now and where they want to be emotionally and socially in the future. Together, we accomplish your goals within custom designed individual therapy sessions.
I specialize in assessing and creating treatment plans for adolescent and adult attention deficit disorder.

*Premarital assessments
