Welcome to my website. My name is Connor O'Shea. I am a licensed therapist in Kansas, Missouri, and Colorado (LCPC/LCP). I first want to honor you for taking the first step toward healing by looking for a therapist. I know that this step can be very overwhelming for many people.

Addressing a Wide Variety of Emotional Difficulties
Anxiety
Anxiety can manifest in many different ways. It is not something to "just get over" but can really interfere with your life. Knowing how to cope with and interact with anxiety can lead to a fuller life filled with emotional relief.
Depression
Depression can lead to fatigue, feelings of worthlessness, guilt, lack of drive, and/or an overall feeling of numbness. Interacting with depression is about having self-compassion. Depressive symptoms increase depression in extreme ways . Breaking the depression spiral is possible
OCD
Engaging in compulsions to reduce distress related to obsessions can interfere with a person's life in intense ways. You cannot convince compulsions or obsessions that they are not necessary. Treating OCD takes a unique approach to retraining the brain to disconnect the compulsions from the obsession.
Couples Therapy
It is never too early to start couples therapy. A lot of couples have difficulties in their marriage for years before attempting couples therapy. If your relationship is strained and has been for a while or is hitting a rough patch, couples therapy could be a great option to repair the relationship and help it grow stronger.
Trauma
Living with trauma can be exhausting. Whether it be PTSD or any other form of trauma it can negatively impact a person's life. Addressing trauma can feel intimidating, but it does not have to be. Moving from victim to survivor is possible.
Eating Disorders
Experiencing an eating disorder can feel very isolating. Whether it being people saying , "why don't you just eat", or negative feelings around purging or overeating, to name a few, eating disorder behaviors are a way to cope. When underlying emotions are addressed, relief can be found.
