Please welcome our two new student therapists, Kirsten and J! Please call (316) 201-4063 to book at a reduced rate!

Kirsten’s info:

I am a student therapist and licensed School Counselor currently completing the clinical requirements to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I earned my Master’s of Education from Wichita State University in December 2016 and bring years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families within educational settings. My background allows me to approach therapy with a strong understanding of development, systems, and the unique challenges individuals face across different life stages.
I work with individuals ages 5 and up, with a special focus on adolescents, young adults, and expecting and postpartum mothers. I support clients navigating concerns such as self-esteem, anxiety, depression, self-harm, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional regulation. My preferred therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based practices, psychodynamic therapy, person-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing. I believe therapy is a collaborative process—one where I walk alongside you on your individual and unique journey with compassion, empathy, and a safe space using trauma-informed care.

J’s info:

I am a student therapist currently completing my final year of a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Liberty University’s program. My professional goal is to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I work with individuals ages 10 and older and support clients experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, divorce-related stress, ADHD, and trauma-related issues.
I am passionate about helping individuals overcome the obstacles that prevent them from living their best and most fulfilling lives. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy, and attachment-based interventions. I also offer
faith-based counseling when desired and incorporate creative therapeutic techniques to meet clients where they are. My goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where all individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered in their healing journey.

Please help us welcome another AMAZING therapist, Isabel Alexander, to the Wichita Therapy Stop team! Here's a little about Isabel.

I earned my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Friends University and work with individuals, children, and families. I am passionate about supporting people as they navigate life’s challenges and discover meaningful paths toward growth, healing, and resilience.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and elements of Play Therapy, allowing me to meet clients where they are and provide support that feels both practical and compassionate.

In addition to clinical work, I bring experience in community case management, which helps bridge the gap between therapy and real-world solutions. This background allows me to support clients not only emotionally, but also in navigating resources and systems that impact their daily lives. As a member of Delta Kappa, the Marriage and Family Therapy Honors Society, I am committed to high standards of care and ongoing professional growth.

I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and care as you explore challenges, recognize your strengths, and work toward meaningful and lasting change. Whether you are facing personal concerns, relationship difficulties, or simply seeking greater balance and fulfillment, I am here to support you in a way that feels genuine, empowering, and aligned with your individual journey.

Please help us welcome Dan Bigelow, T-LMFT, to Wichita Therapy Stop! You can schedule with him by calling 316-201-4063. Here's a little about Dan:

Dan Bigelow is a relationship-centered mental health professional with a rich background in education, communication, and systemic therapy. A 2025 graduate of Friends University’s Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy program, Dan is an active member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and brings a lifelong passion for learning and helping others into every therapeutic encounter.

Before entering the field of mental health, Dan earned degrees in English from the University of Minnesota (2002) and Elementary Education from Friends University (2018). His experience as a fourth-grade teacher deeply shaped his understanding of the importance of relationships—not only with children, but with the families and systems that support them. That insight continues to guide his work with clients of all ages.

Dan works with children (ages 5 and up), adolescents, adults, couples, and families. His clinical training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for individuals, Structural Family Therapy for families, and the Gottman Method for couples. He is currently expanding his theoretical knowledge into psychoanalytic approaches, driven by a curiosity for deeper emotional insight and systemic understanding.

Grounded in the belief that “life is about relationships,” Dan approaches therapy with empathy, clarity, and truth, fostering a collaborative spirit that honors each client’s unique journey.

Drugs aren’t just “a phase.”
They’re the biggest voluntary battle your kids will ever face.

👉 Once kids choose drugs, most spend the rest of their lives trying to convince themselves they’re in control.
👉 Others spend their lives chained to an addiction that steals their money, their friends, and their family.

💨 The #1 gateway drug you need to worry about right now? VA**NG.

✔️ V**e companies & social media spend millions to hook your kids.
✔️ There are 100 ways for your child to get a v**e — at school, online, in your own neighborhood.
✔️ Once they start, ni****ne isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. Cigarettes… and sometimes even harder drugs hidden in v**e pens.

One “harmless puff” can turn into a lifelong fight your child may never win.

⚠️ Talk to your kids NOW. Drugs. Alcohol. To***co. These aren’t small decisions — they’re life-changing choices with consequences that can last forever.

Happy Parenting,
Officer Gomez
