Megan Diémé, LSCSW, LCSW, RPT
Therapist/Owner
she/her
Almost all of us have had adverse experiences or trauma in our lives that shape how we live and interact with others. Regardless of your trauma or experiences, as a trauma-trained therapist I will help guide you through healing.
I will not pretend to know more about your life than you.
I will not judge you for who you are.
I will not determine what healing means for you.
I will not be a gatekeeper to accessing the resources you need.
Although your reasons for seeking therapy are serious, my goal is for you to feel comfortable and at ease during sessions. You will decide your goals and what you want to work on. My background is in providing services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence. I also support persons with challenges such as anxiety, grief, depression, healing inner wounds and helping people find their identity. For a more comprehensive list of issues served please look under the Services tab.
I received a BSCJ from Washburn University in 2004, and worked 8 years with survivors at an advocacy level. I continued my education obtaining a MSW in 2013 at the University of Kansas-Edward's Campus. I am a Registered Play Therapist (and yes adults can also play!). I am trained in EMDR, ITCT-A and I am Nationally Certified in TF-CBT. I am clinically licensed in Kansas and Missouri, and I am able to meet via telehealth for clients living in both states.
Megan's Client Hours:

Kobe
Kobe is a goldendoodle and comes to the office with Megan every day! He has passed his advanced training courses and the end goal is to be a Registered Therapy Dog. Kobe is a sweet and playful dog who fully enjoys treats and naps on a regular basis. He is the only one you will find sleeping on the job. While in the office you can choose to engage as much or as little as you choose with Kobe. He does love his back scratches though, and he is bound to lower your stress level.
