The struggle…

Sometimes life feels overwhelming. Difficult emotions and experiences have a way of catching up with us after a while. My bet is that you do a fine job of gritting your teeth and getting through the day. You have to. You’re a survivor. But after a while, it can start to feel like you’re dragging yourself through life. Everything feels heavy - from getting out of bed, to going about your daily activities, to putting down your phone at the end of the day and finally shutting your eyes. There’s a background sense that life shouldn’t be like this, but you just can’t seem to find the way forward…

Life doesn’t have to be so hard.

Hi, I’m Christin Trott, MS, LPC, therapist at Être Counseling KC.

I do counseling and therapy with individuals (age 14+) and couples in the Kansas City area (and greater state of Missouri via online therapy).

Many of my clients are dealing with one or more of the following concerns:

intense emotions (depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger, loneliness, or grief)
history of complex-trauma (CPTSD), family trauma, or emotional trauma
relationship difficulties
borderline personality disorder (BPD) or borderline traits
the difficulties of being a highly sensitive person, an empath, creative, or ADHDer in a neurotypical world

If you are an over-thinker or an over-feeler, you have found the right place. Together, we will find the way through the difficulties you’re experiencing. We will gain insight into your unique story and past, build on your strengths, and help you develop the skills and motivation to find your way forward. The overall effect will be more calm, joy, ease and enthusiasm in your life.

I look forward to joining with you on your journey.

Come enjoy a cozy space as we work together

I know that therapy can be strenuous at times - facing the past, seeing things about our lives that aren’t always easy to accept. That’s why comfort is so important while we work together. This office space was designed to be comfortable and inspiring in order to help you get the most out of each counseling session. My hope is for you to be able to relax and enjoy the process.

In-person and online therapy available

My office is located at 325 E 31st St., Floor 2, Kansas City, MO 64108. You can easily find me at 31st and Oak Street (Martini Corner) on the second floor of the Made in KC Store & Prefix Café.

I also provide online counseling to anyone throughout the state of Missouri and for those who are unable to make it into my office due to location or scheduling difficulties.
