Jean Beatie , LPC, LCPC

Jean Beatie is a licensed counselor with 35 years of clinical experience, holding credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas. She has supported people across the lifespan, working with clients as young as two and as old as ninety-nine, and brings decades of hands-on practice in a range of care settings.

Her career began in an inpatient psychiatric unit and has included work as a children’s therapist, service at a shelter for women affected by physical abuse or addiction, individual outpatient counseling, and current work as an elementary school counselor. This varied background informs a broad skill set in grief work, anxiety and depression, family and relationship conflicts, life transitions, complex trauma and abuse, physical and sexual abuse, codependency, and challenges faced by adult children of alcoholics.

Jean uses a person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative style, tailoring treatment plans to each individual’s needs. She draws on evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to help clients develop concrete goals and coping skills. She is also experienced addressing issues including addictions, LGBT concerns, parenting and intimacy-related problems, bipolar disorder, and career stress.

Warm and collaborative in approach, she partners with clients to address struggles directly and work steadily toward meaningful change. Jean emphasizes that therapy is not a quick fix and is prepared to accompany clients through the time it takes to heal and grow.
