Getting to know Audra VanMatre

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) working with clients throughout the state of Kansas via telehealth. I work with a variety of age ranges including children 5+, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in helping clients in their journey to healing from their trauma experiences using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing; however, I also utilize client-centered and play-based approaches to therapy in helping individuals explore and cope with anxiety, stress, and depression symptoms. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of my clients. I tend to utilize a client-centered approach in which we create a partnership where I accept and value my clients unconditionally to help them gain insight and understanding of their experiences. For my younger clients, I tend to incorporate play therapy strategies to better help with self-expression, and exploration and processing of difficult emotions. For my clients who have traumatic experiences, I tend to incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help reduce the power those traumatic experiences have over the everyday functionality of my clients. My focus I have found that my approach tends to appeal to clients who are struggling with building strong and healthy relationships, who struggle with managing big emotions, who are having difficulty with adjusting to life transitions, and who are struggling to heal from past experiences. I work to help my clients explore their experiences in a safe space to create a better understanding and stronger acceptance of who they are. I feel that doing this work allows my clients to feel more capable when facing future roadblocks and challenges. My communication style My communication style is friendly, light-hearted, and accepting. I feel that one of my superpowers is how quickly I can build trust with my clients through my ability to create a safe space with comfort, playfulness, and listening without judgment.
