Dr. Kendra Stuke, LSCSW

Dr. Kendra Stuke is a Kansas-licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) with 26 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, depression, and ADHD. Her practice includes work with children, youth, teens, young adults, and adults who are moving through life changes.

She often helps parents and caregivers understand behavior and manage parenting challenges. She uses play-based techniques for younger children and straightforward talk for older teens and adults. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns and Client-Centered techniques that prioritize the person’s own goals. Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy tools are available to help people stay present and reframe difficult experiences.

Dr. Stuke has substantial experience supporting people after trauma, and she incorporates age-appropriate methods when working with children and adolescents. She helps people process grief, relationship strain, and issues related to adoption, foster care, or caregiving stress.

Practical problem solving is a hallmark of her work. Sessions typically include straightforward discussion, behavioral experiments, and skills practice. People who want clear steps and tools to use between sessions tend to find this style useful.
