Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor | MA, LPC, NCC, Level 1 & 2 EMDR Trained
Hi, I’m Alainna, a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Overland Park, Kansas and the owner of Real Life Therapy KC. Before becoming a counselor, I served in vocational ministry overseas for several years where I developed a deep compassion for walking alongside others through suffering, healing, and growth.
I provide counseling for individuals, couples, and families facing complex trauma and PTSD, relationship challenges, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Every person is created with inherent dignity and value, and healing often begins when we are met with compassion, safety, and truth in the context of supportive relationships.
My counseling approach is warm, relational, attachment-based, and trauma-informed. I use evidence-based modalities including AEDP, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gottman Method, and Somatic Experiencing to help clients move beyond survival patterns toward deeper healing, healthier relationships, and renewed hope.
Using a holistic approach that recognizes the connection between mind, body, and spirit, I seek to care for the whole person. For clients who desire it, I welcome integrating Christian faith and biblical principles into the counseling process in a way that fosters hope, healing, and restoration. It is a privilege to walk alongside you through this journey towards healing.
