Chris Cobb, LPC

Webster University, 1997

Your family may be feeling like it is being turned upside down as your developing young adult struggles to find their place in the world. I work within the family system to re-establish the balance that is necessary for a healthy, growing family and find order within the chaos. With over 25 years of experience, we can work together to turn this energy into productivity and success in academic, social, and all other aspects of life.

Gina Armitage, LPC

I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable and a little scary. My goal is to offer a warm, safe space where you can be heard, seen, and understood. I work with adolescents and adults through a trauma-informed lens and I utilize Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help guide the healing process. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs.

Liz Armstrong, LPC

University of Missouri–St. Louis

Beginning with a warm and safe therapeutic relationship is essential to wading through the complexities that will arise from the great work that is participating in counseling. I believe in your expertise — that you possess an inner voice that is specific to you. Through counseling, I hope to help you develop the confidence to find, listen to, and trust in your truth, moving through life more authentically, all the while accepting and finding meaning in life's challenges.

Adriana Capraio, LPC

University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2020

I have a deep commitment to helping people navigate life's challenges with compassion, curiosity, and authenticity. I specialize in working with adolescents (12+), adults, and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, and grief. My approach is rooted in existential, psychodynamic, and person-centered philosophies, and I am also trained in EMDR. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.

Whether you are facing a new crisis in your life or feeling stuck with old feelings and behaviors, therapy can be a useful tool to help you move on. Utilizing a direct and thoughtful approach, I will help you find coping strategies to deal with the immediate stressor, but also help you identify underlying patterns and issues so you can make long-term and lasting changes. Clients often feel empowered when leaving therapy with me, free from their past, and capable of taking on their future.

Michelle Asby, LCSW, LSCSW

University of Kansas, 2015

I am a social worker at heart — it has not just been a job I have done for over 25 years, it is the core of who I am. A helper, an empathic listener, an advocate, a clinician. I use a variety of evidence-based treatment models including CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness to guide therapeutic change.

Nina Tzianos, LPC

University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2019

Everyone we meet is walking around with an 'under construction' sign above their head — behind the scenes everyone is working on something. My goal is to help you alter your perception of yourself and assist you in finding your way to living a life you deem fulfilling. I have experience treating a wide variety of clients including LGBTQ+ youth and adults, couples, athletes, and first responders.

Katie Anderson, PLPC

Provisionally Licensed — supervised by Chris Cobb

I believe working with people is most effective when it is individualized and focused on what matters most to them. I work with individuals ages 9 and up, as well as families, to strengthen relationships, repair areas of disconnection, and build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. My clinical interests include anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, OCD, and adjustment disorders.
