Happy Halloween from all of us at Responsive Centers! πŸ¦‡πŸŽƒ

Behind the costumes and candy, is a reminder to check in with ourselves on our mental health journey and recognize the steps we've taken to face our fears. Remember, it takes real courage to take off your mask and be honest about what you’re feeling. 🧟

Small daily actions can make a big difference in how you feel. Try these three practices on to help manage stress, build resilience, and show up for yourself before a crisis arises.

🌎 Every October 10th, the world comes together to observe World Mental Health Day as a moment to not only raise awareness and reduce stigma, but also reaffirm our collective commitment to all dimensions of behavioral, cognitive, social, and emotional wellbeing.

The World Health Organization (WHO)'s theme for World Mental Health Day 2025 is β€œmental health in humanitarian emergencies,” referencing the reality that crises often cause emotional distress while disrupting access to mental health services. πŸ’‘

With 1 in 5 individuals experiencing a mental health condition, supporting mental health care in crisis can save lives and create strength and space for coping and healing with recent and ongoing stressors. πŸ’š

Today, and every other day, our staff and clinicians are committed to serving, supporting, and strengthening access for vulnerable people facing acute adversity.

: Responsive Centers recently welcomed Amber Kuykendall, LMSW to our clinical team!

Amber enjoys working with clients ages five and up – especially teenagers. As a therapist, she integrates a wide range of evidence-based modalities, bringing nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and families across diverse settings. πŸ’›

β€œI have a lot of experience and passion working with autistic individuals, individuals diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, people in the LGBTQIA+ population, and those with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” she shared.

Amber wishes more people understood that therapy is not a magic pill. What excites her most about this work is the ability and honor to hold space for and sit alongside people during some of the most impactful, growth-filled, and meaningful periods of life. 🌱

β€œYou have to put in hard work, and you get out as much as you put in. But you can get so much out of it,” she said. β€œWhen it comes to some of the most difficult experiences and emotions, the only way out is through.”

Grounded in CBT, DBT, ACT, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Amber prioritizes teaching her clients skills, interventions, and cognitive restructuring methods that increase resilience and distress tolerance while reducing suffering. ✨

We tuned into the Missouri Psychological Association's Annual Conference this weekend to attend a panel discussion featuring Dr. Steve Hazel – psychologist and co-founder of Responsive Centers – alongside Dr. George Harris, Dr. David Hill, and Dr. Martin Zehr.

Aimed at behavioral health professionals navigating private or group practice, the "Working Smart" discussion consisted of practical tools for collaborating effectively with attorneys, building a quality clientele, recognize appropriate doctoral-level niches, assessing profitability, creating satisfaction with work, and more. πŸ’‘

Thank you Missouri Psychological Association for this opportunity!

– Hello, my name is Misha Khan, and I am an LCPC. πŸ‘‹

I recently joined the practice at Responsive Centers and am accepting new clients at this time. If you are looking for a therapist for yourself, a loved one, or someone in your care, keep reading to learn a little bit about me!

πŸ’¬ ΒΏHablas espaΓ±ol? Yo hablo espaΓ±ol y estoy feliz de trabajar contigo en tu idioma.

I am licensed in Kansas and enjoy working with adults ages 18 to 64 at Responsive Centers. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and my bachelor's degree in psychology (with a minor in Spanish!) from the University of Kansas. πŸ’™β€οΈ

My career spans diverse experiences in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. My clinical background includes individual therapy, group therapy, and couples counseling, and I've treated a range of concerns including substance use, trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders. I am fluent in Spanish and value a culturally responsive approach to therapy, drawing on my background to build strong therapeutic relationships.

Wondering what to expect? Our sessions will likely integrate aspects of evidence-based practices, including CBT and DBT. Also, I value collaboration and work closely with other providers to support client care. 🧠

🌻 At this time, I am accepting clients with Medicare insurance, in addition to clients who prefer self-pay. Bookmark my page to stay in the know about new insurance options in the near future β†’ https://responsivecenters.com/clinician-detail1.php?url_key=misha-khan-lcpc πŸ”–
