Did you know that interns have completed all of their education requirements prior to beginning their internship experience within the community?

This means they are educationally prepared and equipped to deliver quality services! Not only that, they are under the guidance and supervision of a site supervisor (someone who is clinically trained and deemed by the University and State as qualified) AND an internship supervisor (a professor at University who is overseeing) ... providing a double layer of expertise for the delivery of your mental health service.

That said, just as important as the method is the authentic CONNECTION you feel when meeting with your therapist. Feeling heard, understood, validated, supported, and creating safe space to practice the tools that will help you along your life journey.

Meet Josh Stone ... he comes to us with volumes of compassion and authentic connection for those who are differently-abled or have navigated their journey with disability and/or chronic-illness.

We offer flexible rates for those with high deductibles or who do not have insurance, and for those that do have insurance coinsurance or copays, we honor your current copay as if you were using your insurance.

Contact us at 816-974-7378 and inquire today, or check out Josh on our website:

We are excited to announce a new beginning for January 2025. In our efforts to provide expanded services that meet the various expressed needs of our communities, we are beginning a support group for Foster Parents and Guardians in the Cass County Area.

The parenting role taps into our greatest strengths and sometimes provokes insecurity about our greatest weaknesses - having a community to draw support from can be an essential resource for stepping into the arena and leaning into the challenges.

The intention of this group is to provide compassionate and empowering support as you navigate parenting across systems - both your own family system and the legal system, as well as system resources meant to help.

Call or Text us at 816-974-7378 for more information, and as always, come Be Well at The Well.

Letting go, whether of negative emotions, past experiences, or unrealistic expectations, can have countless & profound psychological benefits. Here are a few...

Reduced Stress & Anxiety
Holding on to past hurts or unresolved issues can create constant mental strain. Letting go allows the mind to relax, reducing stress and anxiety by freeing mental & emotional resources.

Reduced Symptoms of Depression
Letting go of negative self-talk, guilt, or unresolved grief can help alleviate symptoms of depression. By releasing burdens, individuals can make room for healing and emotional balance.

Increased Resilience
Letting go of perfectionism or control over outcomes helps individuals build resilience. It encourages adaptability and the acceptance of uncertainty, making it easier to cope with life's challenges.

Enhanced Relationships
Letting go of past conflicts or unrealistic expectations in relationships fosters forgiveness, compassion, and better communication. It allows for healthier connections and deeper emotional intimacy.

Greater Self-Awareness
The process of letting go often involves reflection and mindfulness, which can increase self-awareness. This allows individuals to identify harmful thought patterns & behaviors, leading to personal growth.

Increased Mental Clarity
By letting go of obsessive thoughts or overthinking, mental clutter is reduced. This leads to greater focus, concentration, & decision-making ability, as the mind is no longer preoccupied with unresolved issues.

Sense of Freedom and Empowerment
Letting go of things you cannot control empowers individuals by shifting focus from external circumstances to personal responses. This fosters a sense of autonomy & emotional freedom, promoting personal empowerment.

Increased Happiness and Fulfillment
Letting go of attachment to outcomes or the need for external validation often leads to a greater sense of inner peace and fulfillment. This allows individuals to live more fully in the present moment & experience increased happiness.

The long-term psychological rewards make the challenge of letting go worth it! Let the example of the Autumn season inspire you to let go of what no longer serves you so new growth can occur. 🍂🥰

Anxiety symptoms vary due to the complexity of humans. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) looks different from person to person; but even in the same person it is expressed differently from day to day and moment to moment. It’s like a quiet tension that builds if allowed, and when it gets too big it is expressed through our bodies, thoughts and feelings.

Be compassionate with yourself and with others, because you never truly know the weight someone’s carrying. We can start recognizing anxiety (in ourselves and others), normalize the conversation about it, and support each other towards wellbeing.

I made this chart to show how anxiety can manifest differently for different people. Here's what mine used to look like on an average day, although it fluctuates.
Just a reminder that anxiety looks different for everyone and all experiences are valid.
