Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy in Kansas City
Where is Beyond The Storm Behavioral Health located?
We serve the Kansas City metropolitan area with two physical clinics located in Blue Springs and Lee’s Summit, MO. By maintaining these dedicated local offices, we provide specialized mental health counseling to our immediate communities while also serving the broader region.
What insurances and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) do you accept?
We strive to make therapy accessible by accepting a wide range of insurance networks, including Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Optum, Cigna, Aetna, Medicaid (Missouri & Kansas), Medicare, and The Battle Within.
We also partner with a variety of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPS), including:
SupportLinc, ComPsych, Lucet, PAS, HealthAdvocate, Optum, Cigna, and Aetna.
How do I schedule my first therapy appointment?
Scheduling your first session is handled personally by our dedicated administrative team, including Jessica Rocker and Brooklyn Newton, to ensure the intake process is smooth and stress-free. Prospective patients should use our New Client Intake form, while established patients can book subsequent sessions directly through our Existing Client Portal on SimplePractice.
Do you offer private pay or intensive therapy for couples?
Yes, we offer specialized [Couples Intensives] designed to bypass the traditional weekly therapy model. As a premium Private Pay Service, this offering operates with “No Insurance. No Diagnoses. No Limits”. We offer transparent, tiered investments depending on your relationship’s needs: a 90-Minute Intensive for $250, a 2-Hour Intensive for $400, and our most popular 4-Hour Intensive for $700.
What specialized trauma and anxiety treatments do you offer?
Our highly credentialed clinical team (including providers with PsyD, LPC, LCPC, and LCSW credentials) offers deeply specialized interventions. For trauma recovery, our EMDR therapy utilizes a complete Systematic Eight-Phase Protocol to address the neurobiological roots of post-traumatic stress. For Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), we offer Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, which goes beyond general anxiety counseling to safely break the cycle of obsession and compulsion.
Do you provide mandated wellness checks for first responders?
Yes, Beyond The Storm Behavioral Health acts as an institutional partner for police departments, fire departments, and EMS agencies. We provide confidential, proactive “wellness visits” that fulfill the legal mandates of Missouri Statute 590.192, ensuring law enforcement and emergency personnel receive necessary support distinct from reactive “welfare checks”.
