Master’s level student interns offer counseling at the Leawood campus for mild to moderate mental health needs. All counseling sessions will be recorded for supervision and training purposes, as our counselors are master’s students.
These recordings are confidential and will only be reviewed by authorized supervisors to ensure quality care.
These are students from area universities in the process of completing their Master’s degrees in counseling or marriage and family therapy.
They offer fresh perspectives and are trained in evidence-based practices, under the close supervision of experienced professionals.
We understand some people may not be comfortable being recorded or would like to be seen by an experienced mental health professional. Here is a valuable comprehensive resource of licensed local providers: Psychologytoday.com
Your needs will be evaluated by our counseling staff. If we believe your needs can be addressed by our counseling interns, you’ll be placed on our wait list. Once an intern has space become available, you’ll be contacted to schedule an initial session.
If we believe your needs exceed those of the interns, someone will be in touch to offer alternative resources.
Our interns are equipped to deal with mild to moderate mental health needs.
If it’s determined you will be better served by a licensed therapist, we will offer to provide you with a few referrals based on your needs, location and financial circumstances.
Our counseling interns are accessible to our church family and the community. You do not need to be a member or a visitor to request counseling services.
This service is not intended for immediate crisis needs. Depending on the demand and our current staffing level, it may take as long as a few months to be placed with an intern. If you need urgent help, please call the 988 mental health line or 911, or visit the nearest emergency room.
If you have identified a spiritual component to your challenges, we strongly encourage that you seek pastoral guidance.
If you would like to speak to one of our pastors, contact information for each location can be found at: Request Care – Resurrection Church
