You don’t have to keep having the same fight.

If you and your partner are feeling stuck—misunderstood, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward—therapy can help.

I’m My’Nika Lucas, and I work with couples who want to rebuild connection, communicate more clearly, and stop looping through the same arguments.

In our work together, we’ll focus on:
*Learning how to slow down and really listen to each other
*Noticing those stuck patterns—like withdrawing or chasing
*Rebuilding curiosity with open, honest questions
*Understanding that miscommunication is normal—and what matters most is how you repair

You don’t need to have it all figured out before coming in. You just need a willingness to show up and try something new.

I offer sessions in Kansas City and online throughout Missouri and Kansas.

Ready to reconnect?

My’Nika Lucas is a Graduate Student Therapist in Kansas City offering individual, couples, and family therapy at $75/session. Sliding scale available. Start your healing journey today.

As a psychotherapist, I’m still not perfect. I don’t get it “right” all the time. I have my moments. I cry. I have breakdowns. This is the honest part about being human. I’m sharing this to normalize that it’s ok to not be ok sometimes. And yet we are *still worthy of love* by ourselves and by others.

Don’t let your human messiness be a source of shame. You’re not “too much”. You’re perfectly and radically you—all Parts of your Authentic Self.

Safe love isn’t about loving the “best” version of you.
It’s about holding you close when you’re messy, lost, or overthinking at 2 AM.
It’s the kind of love that doesn’t run from your storms,
but stands with you in the rain.
They don’t love you despite your chaos —
they love you through it.

If you haven’t heard this before, watch it. It’s Charlie Chaplin from the 1940 film, “The Great Dictator”, and it’s uncannily relevant today. This is Liz, and at The Liz Davis Therapy Group we believe in the inherent dignity of all people across the globe. I’m making this post as I reflect on the power of unity over propagandized division. They want us separate and isolated. They want us to hate each other. Compassion is the antidote. In our modern world, compassion for all people is a revolutionarily political act. As a Black, Q***r, Indigenous, First Generation American woman (she/they), I choose to hate no one. I only set intentions for a change of heart in those in positions of leadership and power so that our future on this earth is one of peace and not fascism.

Hey, this is Liz! As someone who has historically feared being either “too much” or “not enough” for others, I had to really wrestle with myself to discover what true Authenticity and Self-Love mean to me. I had to learn that performative “confidence” wasn’t the same as radical Self-Love. I had to realize that other people are just a mirror to what I deeply believed about myself. Before, other people’s reactions to me held me captive. Like many of you out there, I am in the process of Authentic Liberation—Radical Self-Love and Self-Acceptance of ALL of my Parts. Even the Parts of me that are difficult to like. Join me on the journey if you want to surrender judgment and comparison, and embrace your True Self more fully and unapologetically! ✨💜🫶🏾

If you relate to this, I’m sending peace your way….. “Four Steps to Post-Traumatic Growth” @ link in bio.

I’m so glad you’re here! 🫶💞✨

Silence is complicity. At The Liz Davis Therapy Group, we believe in the inherent dignity and right to safety of ALL people. In that spirit, we are using our platform to express our solidarity with the people of Palestine, who are experiencing devastating and ongoing violence. We mourn the loss of innocent lives and stand against systems and ideologies that perpetuate suffering.

Let us be clear: this statement is not anti-Semitic. We affirm the inherent worth of our Jewish clients, colleagues, and community members. Judaism is a beautiful, diverse, and deeply meaningful faith and culture — and it is not synonymous with Zionism. Criticism of state violence or political ideology is not a criticism of a people or a religion.

We also want to recognize the many Jewish individuals and organizations who have courageously spoken out against the violence in Palestine. Their voices inspire us, and we stand in community with them in the call for justice and peace.

Our therapy office doors are open to people of all faiths, cultures, races, genders, sexualities, countries of origin, and worldviews. We are a space rooted in compassion, not division. And in times of silence, we choose to speak--not to alienate, but to affirm the humanity of all.

We send our love to all who are grieving, hurting, or afraid—especially our clients and community members with loved ones in Palestine. Our hearts are with you.

💜💜💜

Let me be clear: We’re running for the county to deliver a countywide public transit system that’s built on two core principles: a rapid bus network and a zero-fare policy. 🚌

Kansas City proved free fare transit works—but their system suffered because the county failed to invest. If we’re elected, our county government will finally step up and fund public transit the way it should. 📊

Because transit isn’t just about getting from point A to B—it’s about economic opportunity and freedom of movement. I believe mobility is freedom, and I’m committed to making that freedom a reality for every resident in Jackson County.
