Build Self-Worth, Break Negative Cycles, and Reconnect With Yourself

If you constantly question yourself, feel like you're not good enough, or can't seem to break the cycle of attracting the wrong people, you're not alone. Maybe you've been stuck in these patterns for years, or maybe a recent challenge has shaken your confidence. Either way, individual therapy can help you reconnect with who you are, rebuild your sense of worth, and start living from a place of clarity and confidence.

Hey, I’m Taylor Luttrell-Deeds, M.S., PLPC, a licensed therapist based in Kansas City and serving adults across Missouri and Kansas. I work with women who are done feeling stuck, small, and disconnected from themselves. My specialty is helping you rebuild your self-worth, quiet your inner critic, and untangle the patterns keeping you in anxiety, shame, and relationships that don’t serve you. If you’re ready to show up fully in your life with more clarity, confidence, and compassion, I’m here for that.

Is Individual Therapy Right for You?

Absolutely! Therapy isn’t just for crisis. It’s for clarity, confidence, and growth.

Maybe you’re exhausted from second-guessing yourself, struggling to set boundaries, or attracting the wrong people into your life. Or maybe your anxiety, overthinking, or inner critic is stealing your peace.

Therapy provides a supportive, non-judgmental space to:

  • Improve self-esteem and rebuild your sense of worth

  • Develop the confidence to make aligned decisions

  • Navigate relationship issues with more self-awareness

  • Break cycles of people-pleasing and self-sabotage

  • Manage anxiety, racing thoughts, and emotional overwhelm

Together, we’ll work to quiet the inner critic and strengthen the voice of self-trust, compassion, and resilience.

What to Expect in Individual Therapy

I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you gain insight and practical tools for changing unhelpful patterns. Sessions are goal-oriented, supportive, and empowering. We’ll work at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you.

My goal is for you to leave every session feeling more grounded, more confident, and more in control of your life.

Common Issues Addressed During Individual Therapy

Low Self-Esteem and Self-Worth

Many individuals seek therapy to improve their self-esteem and self-worth. Therapy provides a supportive space to identify negative self-talk, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop a healthier, more positive self-image.

Relationship Issues

While individual therapy focuses on personal growth, many clients seek support in navigating relationship issues like poor communication, trust issues, or conflict with family or partners. Therapy helps you understand your behaviors and emotions, empowering you to build healthier relationships.

Depression and Low Mood

Depression and feelings of sadness are common reasons for seeking therapy. At TLD Counseling, we can help you identify the underlying causes of your depression, develop coping strategies, and take steps towards a brighter, more hopeful future.

Anxiety and Stress Management

Whether you're dealing with general anxiety, social anxiety, or work-related stress, therapy can help you manage overwhelming emotions. Using proven techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), therapy at TLD Counseling in Kansas City can help reduce anxiety and restore balance in your life.

Life Transitions

Navigating significant life transitions such as career changes, divorce, or the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming. Therapy provides support as you adjust to these changes, helping you rediscover balance and create a positive path forward.

Personal Growth and Self-Discovery

Therapy isn't just for times of struggle; it's also for personal growth. If you're looking to gain insight into your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, individual therapy can help you discover your true self and work toward becoming the best version of yourself.

“It’s time to stop living your life for other people’s approval. YOUR approval is what counts. YOUR approval is what matters. Because no matter where you go, there you are… so you might as well enjoy the person looking back at you in the mirror.”
