Jessica, Maureen, and Stevie met years ago while working for a grant that served mothers in the Kansas City area struggling with postpartum anxiety and depression. Through this project, we were able to guide hundreds of women through their mental health journeys and watch them grow and succeed in unimaginable ways.

During this time, we also all had children -- within three months of each other! This deepened our appreciation and understanding for the individualized challenges we as women face during such a critical time of our lives. Eventually, we decided that we wanted to bring our unique perspectives, zest for clinical work, and passion to our own practice which is now Wild Hope.

OUR HOPE IS THAT WE SERVE ALl who are suffering with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma.

With various areas of expertise, including extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing, Wild Hope supports all in their path to healing.

Hello! In a world that demands a lot of you, you did it! Despite all of the unknowns, you took the first step in researching your options to feel different. No matter what has brought you to this place, change is possible.

No matter what brings you to this place in your life, you matter! Whether you're experiencing a big life change, realizing things just feel "off", or anywhere in between, therapy is a powerful tool to have in your toolbox.

If talk therapy has only gotten you so far and hasn’t resonated, or if you are ready to deeply connect to yourself, your feeling states, and your physiology, this is the place for you. My office is a space for slowing down, going inward, and healing.

WHAT WE DO

We focus on providing psychotherapy to individuals in all ages and stages of life. We are experts in treating those with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and just plain being human.

We also offer a wide array of supportive treatment including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Somatic Experiencing. Many therapists at Wild Hope provide corporate trainings on various mental health topics. All therapists are trained in perinatal treatment from Postpartum Support International.

Whatever the issue you or your family is working through, we promise to provide compassionate services that always meets you where you are. We hope that every client that comes into our office feels heard, understood, and known.

WHere we serve

In person sessions are offered at our primary office in Prairie Village, Kansas. We are excited to announce our new  office location in Salina, Kansas, headed by Maureen Francois.
