Mental Health Therapy for Men in Overland Park

Trauma Therapy for Men

Trauma changes how you think, feel, and relate to the world. At Trailhead Counseling, we offer trauma therapy for men who are ready to face the past and build a healthier future. Our therapists use EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and other evidence-based techniques to help you reprocess traumatic memories and finally experience relief.

Whether your trauma stems from childhood abuse, military service, an accident, or another painful experience, healing is possible.

Anxiety Therapy for Men

If anxiety is running your life, we can help. At Trailhead Counseling, our therapists help men learn practical skills to manage anxiety, face their fears head one, and get to the roots causes of their anxiety. Whether it’s chronic worry, panic attacks, or a phobia, you’ll learn how to calm your brain, feel more confident, and confront your fears.

OCD Therapy for Men

OCD attacks what you care about most—your values, relationships, faith, and peace of mind. We use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard therapy for OCD, to help you get unstuck from the OCD loop. ERP helps you break free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions so you can get your life back.

Sexual Abuse Therapy for Men

Men who experience sexual abuse often carry their pain in silence. We provide a confidential, empathetic space for men to work through the shame, anger, confusion, grief, and fear of sexual abuse. Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed approaches and understand the unique challenges male survivors face. Whether it happened yesterday or years ago, you don’t have to keep this hidden any longer.

PTSD Treatment for Veterans and First Responders

Studies show over 30% of veterans and 50% of first responders develop PTSD. Our therapists understand what it’s like to carry trauma from high-stress, life-threatening roles. We offer specialized PTSD treatment for veterans and first responders in Overland Park using EMDR and ART—two of the most effective therapies for trauma.

Treatment for Phobias

Whether you're afraid of flying, heights, germs, vomiting, or something less common, we provide evidence-based therapy to help you overcome your fears. Our approach uses gradual exposure to help you feel less anxious and more empowered over time.

We offer a free therapy consultation to all prospective clients.

FAQs

How long does therapy usually last?

Every client is different, but many start to feel relief within a few sessions. Some continue for a few months or longer, depending on their goals. Several of the treatments we use, such as EMDR and ART, are designed to help clients feel better quickly.

How much will I pay per session?

The rate for a 50-minute therapy session is $150. The amount that clients using insurance will pay depends on their unique insurance plan. You can check with your insurance carrier to see how much therapy will cost.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes. We can see clients who are located anywhere in Kansas. Some of our providers are licensed in Missouri as well, allowing them to see clients who are located there.

What ages do you work with?

We primarily work with male teens and adult men. We know that convincing a teenage boy to attend therapy can be difficult, so we’re happy to meet with your teen before starting treatment to answer any questions he may have and to help him feel comfortable.

Do you offer faith-based counseling?

We sure do. Each of our providers are committed to following Christ and are comfortable incorporating faith into treatment. If you’re not a Christian, we still want you here! You’ll be treated with empathy and respect, and we’ll offer you the best quality of care that we can.

How often will we meet?

We typically meet with clients once a week at the beginning of therapy. It’s common to begin spacing sessions out as you progress toward meeting your goals.
