Counseling when and where you need it.

Every Person Counts

Erin Phillips

LCSW, LSCSW

Welcome! I am so glad you are here and hope to help you find that which you may or may not know you need. I am a proud mother of five amazing people, both biological and stepchildren, and the grandmother to one perfect baby. I spend my free time passionately watching KU basketball (Rock Chalk!), reading true crime novels, and living life loudly with my friends and family! It is my calling to provide a safe space for all around me, specifically those in the LGBTQIA+ and alternative lifestyle communities.

I am a clinical social worker, licensed in Missouri, Kansas, and Virginia. I have spent 20 years working with clients on issues including but not limited to; foster care involvement, abuse/neglect, gender identity, pre-marital counseling, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and generalized anxiety. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from MWSU and a Master of Social Work from KU.

Together we will set goals that will lead you on a path of healing. I will use humor and compassion, amongst other tools in my toolbox, to help you achieve the goals YOU want to achieve. I see therapy as a collaborative effort - a team sport. Sometimes you just need an objective viewpoint to help you see things a little more clearly.

My Services

Individual Therapy (Ages 16+)

Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Together we will work to design the most effective plan to support you in navigating life’s challenges and achieving emotional well-being. We work collaboratively to help you gain insight, build coping strategies, and make meaningful changes in your life. Your journey toward healing and self-discovery starts here, with a commitment to your growth and mental wellness every step of the way.

Couples Counseling

In couples counseling, I work with you and your partner to navigate challenges and strengthen your relationship. Whether you're struggling with communication, managing conflict, or seeking to reconnect, I create a safe and supportive space where both of you can share your thoughts, feelings and emotions openly. Together, we’ll explore patterns of behavior, identify areas for growth, and develop effective strategies to enhance your connection. My goal is to help you rebuild trust, improve intimacy, and foster a deeper understanding of each other, ultimately creating a more resilient and fulfilling partnership.

Expert Witness Testimony

I provide compassionate and professional support, including expert witness testimony in child sexual abuse cases. With extensive experience and a deep understanding of trauma and child development, I offer clear, credible, and evidence-based insights to assist in legal proceedings. By combining therapeutic expertise with detailed forensic analysis, the goal is to support justice while prioritizing the well-being of the child at the center of each case.

Clinical Supervision

Clinical supervision is available for social workers in Kansas and Missouri, offering guidance and support to develop skills, meet licensing requirements, and achieve professional growth. With a focus on fostering ethical practice and enhancing clinical expertise, sessions are tailored to address individual needs and career goals. By creating a collaborative and supportive environment, I help social workers navigate challenges, build confidence, and deliver effective, client-centered care.
