Patricia Lord

Patricia Lord approaches therapy with the belief that every person’s life story matters and that sharing those stories opens the way to empathy and hope. She earned a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple and Family Counseling and is a certified Play Therapist, and she practices from her base in Kansas.

With ten years of clinical experience, Patricia is licensed to practice as a professional counselor in Missouri and as a clinical professional counselor in Kansas. She works extensively with adolescents, teens and young adults and has supported people through many challenges, including all stages of divorce, co-parenting and step parenting relationships, grief and loss, anxiety, stress and depression, trauma, domestic violence and self-harming behaviors. Her practice also includes work on behavioral, adjustment and attachment concerns, and with teens she has addressed non-suicidal self-harm, parental divorce, adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, healthy management of expectations and understanding boundaries.

Patricia integrates client-focused, experiential, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She is committed to the therapeutic process and to helping clients pursue their goals and discover greater satisfaction and joy in their daily lives.
