A space to understand yourself more clearly.
Individual therapy for anxiety, life transitions, relationship patterns and personal growth. Based in Roeland Park, Kansas, Bussmann Therapy KC welcomes clients from throughout the greater Kansas City metro area.
What is individual therapy?
Individual therapy is a collaborative space to explore your thoughts, emotions and patterns, understand yourself more deeply and develop practical tools for a more fulfilling life.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, feeling stuck in certain patterns, navigating a life transition or simply wanting to better understand yourself, therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
In our work together, we’ll look at the bigger picture — not just the challenges you’re facing, but the experiences and patterns that may be shaping them.
Common reasons people start individual therapy.
Everyone’s story is different, but some of the most common reasons people seek individual therapy include:
Anxiety and overthinking
Learn to manage worry, quiet self-critical thoughts and feel more present.
Life transitions
Navigate changes like career shifts, moves, relationship changes or major decisions.
Self-esteem and confidence
Build a stronger sense of self and feel more confident in your choices and relationships.
Patterns and personal growth
Understand recurring patterns and create healthier, more fulfilling ways of living.
A deeper look at what’s underneath.
My approach to individual therapy is collaborative, thoughtful and grounded in both insight and practical tools. You don’t need a perfect explanation for why you’re here — we can start with what you’re noticing now.
Together, we’ll slow down the patterns that keep showing up, explore how past experiences and current circumstances may be shaping your thoughts, emotions and reactions, and pay attention to what happens in your relationships with other people.
My work draws primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy and AEDP. When a specific painful memory or experience is part of what keeps you stuck, EMDR may be incorporated when appropriate.
The goal isn’t simply to understand why something happens. It’s to help you respond differently, feel more connected to yourself and others, and create meaningful change that lasts.

Common questions about individual therapy.
Where can I find individual therapy in Kansas City?
Bussmann Therapy KC offers individual therapy and counseling for adults throughout the greater Kansas City metro area. Located in Roeland Park, Kansas, the practice provides in-person sessions for people seeking support with anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and personal growth.
Who can benefit from individual counseling?
You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Individual counseling can help if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, navigating a difficult transition, or carrying experiences from the past. Some people come with a specific concern. Others simply want to better understand themselves and the patterns shaping their lives.
Can individual therapy help with anxiety and overthinking?
Yes. Anxiety, persistent worry, and overthinking are common reasons people seek therapy. Along with finding ways to manage difficult feelings, we'll explore what may be happening underneath them, including emotional patterns, past experiences, and responses to stress.
Can individual therapy help with relationships?
Yes. You don't need to attend therapy with a partner to explore relationship concerns. Individual therapy can help you understand patterns of closeness, conflict, boundaries, and emotional distance. If you're interested in working together with your partner, you can also explore couples therapy.
How much does individual therapy cost in Kansas City?
Individual therapy at Bussmann Therapy KC costs $150 per session. The practice is private-pay and out-of-network, so insurance isn't billed directly. Depending on your plan, you may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement. Visit the fees page for more information.
What therapy approaches do you use?
My approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). EMDR may also be incorporated when appropriate. The work is shaped by your experiences and goals, rather than following the same approach for everyone.
What happens during the first individual therapy session?
The first session is a chance to talk about what brought you to therapy, what you've been experiencing, and what you hope might change. We'll begin exploring your concerns and getting to know one another. You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say.
