Are you regularly negotiating what you can or cannot eat based on how much activity you have done that day? Are you starting a new diet every couple weeks or days, finding your weight constantly in flux? Afraid of specific foods, or engaging in food rituals, to keep your body regulated. Generally unaware of your body, what you look like, or how much space you ‘take up’? You are not alone. Our providers are all trained in the treatment of eating disorders and have collectively provided care at all levels of treatment. We work closely with HAES dietitians, doctors, and psychiatrists in the community. We will start with getting you wrapped around in support so you know, without a doubt, you don’t have to embark on this journey alone. Once you feel supported with a team, we will work together to develop concrete skills that help you regulate emotion, engage in your relationships, and tolerate hard experiences. Finally, we work to shift your view of health from a binary state of being, while building trust and confidence in your body, your values, your relationships, and your mind. You will find and engage in your life worth living again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1628613157500-9E36WFWQPM4LGINEOYAO/unsplash-image-son4VHt4Ld0.jpg Individual Therapy Are you struggling with balancing your dreams and new identity as mom? Overwhelmed with changes to your body, mood, or relationships as a result of pregnancy? Are you noticing old patterns of thinking and behaving appearing related to past traumas, body image, or eating disorders? It is common to struggle with your identity, body changes, mood, and relationships throughout pregnancy and after birth. We are here to walk alongside you as you courageously take on the task of parenthood. We will support you through body changes, food struggles, traumatic experiences brought up during or created through pregnancy and birth, regulating mood changes, and creating new ways of connecting with those around you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1628620154561-GLT9QSWBQ6CCAQVJYMU0/Scallop+Seashell+Photographer+Portfolio+Website+%288%29.png Individual Therapy - Anxiety + Depression Are you suddenly overcome by the deep knot in your stomach and encapsulated with fear? Are you isolating, retreating, giving up, because it is all too much? Are you searching for calmness or control in less than desirable ways? Or maybe having intrusive thoughts about your life, your family, your body, or complete strangers? Anxiety and depression are common experiences for most people; the depth, interference, and severity of anxiety is individual to you. You don’t need to experience life-altering anxiety to get help managing your thoughts, fears, worries, or intrusive thoughts. We address anxiety + depression with both the cognitive thought interventions for those circling, spiraling, ruminating, thinking traps and the body for the racing heart, sweaty palms, and muscle tension. We will guide you in finding what skills and thought changes work for YOU specifically. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1628719531878-YJ4X01W8FQXCD95QDZYF/unsplash-image-KNf9AeHpI9o.jpg Individual Therapy Even when ethnic minorities do seek services, there is evidence that they arE more likely to drop-out and that they often receive poorer quality treatment. At Opal, we provide specific services for minority populations who encounter racial and culturally based issues on a daily basis. Our position is not that a Caucasian therapist is unable to work with a racial minority client on their issues, but rather that a minority client might feel most comfortable being paired with a provider who also identifies as a minority. Race-based therapy may include exploration of identity issues, immigration challenges, race-based trauma, micro-aggressions, racism/discrimination, and the race-body connection. Minorities of all ages may benefit from this service. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/71455f98-93ff-466a-888e-23a677ced1ab/CFB096AF-9A10-4C06-A5BE-71D0CCADFB86_1_201_a.jpeg Individual Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1669063563433-6PD5VP4D2WIS66D2KQMN/unsplash-image-UISgcA0yLrA.jpg Individual Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1771871575854-X3U1WV6EXEQ9BLFU3O7K/unsplash-image-0aMMMUjiiEQ.jpg Individual Therapy - “together we can do this. https://opalkc.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-02-10 https://opalkc.com/teamnon-active daily 0.75 2026-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1625962500628-41RGUOFLDBREX3CWCQ6K/Opal+Wellness+Headshots+%2B+Groupshots+Outdoors+_+Nicole+Bissey+Photography+19.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/504fe96e-a2b5-4ed8-98b8-30189efe1796/Kari%2BProfile%2BPhoto.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/fd1a1ed7-e700-448c-8333-2fe2acce30d6/KT.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/78ed91be-0c95-4092-ab69-f47534e6b677/IMG_4399.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1625962400011-RSU680SFP9M5C1VX8IAU/Opal+Wellness+Headshots+%2B+Groupshots+Outdoors+_+Nicole+Bissey+Photography+30.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/fc126cd1-19d4-4eed-ae69-e64926140a26/AR.jpeg https://opalkc.com/our-approach daily 0.75 2023-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1677618601452-NEHCT8IGPYXSCONHGK4B/unsplash-image-NLh54uTbftQ.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1677618902188-FWD97YUN9M93DXF9UY7P/unsplash-image-8mCMQSq41gQ.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1677619004501-E6KBQHEFWN9YTH7S5H46/unsplash-image-GptAyPNM4WE.jpg https://opalkc.com/advocacy-outreach daily 0.75 2022-11-21 https://opalkc.com/new-page daily 0.75 2021-06-30 https://opalkc.com/home-1 daily 1.0 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/b3d2c71f-af6d-4b18-9974-967777b06c2d/Opal+Wellness+Space+_+Nicole+Bissey+Photography+43.jpg Home (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/7ae7aa56-7c2c-49bd-937d-673ba2737223/IMG_3692.jpeg Home (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1677614402252-DBDKSYFRCGS207T9UCAI/unsplash-image-KNf9AeHpI9o.jpg Home (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1677615066523-ZNYIQX4DMNRZGP3K1K08/unsplash-image-NLh54uTbftQ.jpg Home (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1382ae9a-9b11-458e-9e6b-d9d2948849a8/opal.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1625960266817-DNUH8DZJENNN5FVIX6U1/Opal+Wellness+Headshots+%2B+Groupshots+Outdoors+_+Nicole+Bissey+Photography+30.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/ee14b1cf-e483-48b7-82b9-68de2b37697f/MO+Wildflower+Receipt.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/504fe96e-a2b5-4ed8-98b8-30189efe1796/Kari%2BProfile%2BPhoto.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/873ee08b-646f-41d8-8097-e8ea6b9434d3/IMG_4399.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/2a228ef3-9c6f-4ccf-b178-aca713b2179d/157+-+AME+Photography+KC+2025.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/1625960328930-9AG0GDUD7GL3SGQQRUTK/Opal+Wellness+Headshots+%2B+Groupshots+Outdoors+_+Nicole+Bissey+Photography+19.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/c4a4d6fe-dccb-40ce-8fb3-2f3a301297c4/AR.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b79e6de39ca91706efc8b6/cfccb566-bec4-405d-9c0f-ed77ad7ee591/Orange+Art+Gallery+Promotion+Arts+%26+Entertainment+Story+Ad.jpg https://opalkc.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1591809300101-EYDRWIYMF88LH58RQ8TW/image-asset.jpeg About - Transforming mental healthcare We are a group of doctoral-level psychologists and psychiatrists who provide quality mental health care.
