Therapy for Women & Parents in Olathe, KS
Whether working with parents, educators experiencing burnout, or couples in premarital therapy, my overarching goal is the same — strengthen your existing roots so you can rise with confidence.
I see you. You’re overwhelmed, easily irritated, or don’t recognize the person in the mirror who you hoped to become. If you’re searching for therapy for anxiety, burnout, or family stress, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I specialize in working with adults (specifically parents and educators) who are experiencing stress, emotional overwhelm, and relational conflict. I understand the complexity of family systems and the pressure to “hold it all together.” Therapy can be a place to set down the expectations you’re holding and meet yourself with honesty and compassion.
About Me | Shannon Lieburn, LPC
Wife. Mother. Teacher. School Counselor. Thearpist.
“So much education, yet no one taught us how to love ourselves.”
This single quote scrawled across a student’s binder during my first semester teaching called me to pursue a career journey dedicated to helping others learn to love themselves.
I spent 10 years working with overwhelmed parents, burnt-out teachers, and young people experiencing deep childhood trauma. It was work I felt deeply called to, but knew I longed for more authentic and intentional connections with those I served. The drive to open my own private therapy practice came from a need to believe in myself, take a leap of faith, and prioritize my own wellbeing — something I encourage my clients to do every day!
When I’m not in my therapy office, you’ll likely find me spending time outside with my boys, baking a yummy treat, grabbing coffee with a friend, watching a crime or medical drama series, listening to an audiobook, or working in our garden. I’m drawn to growth — in nature, in relationships, and in people.

I believe that growth is only sustainable if it is both practical and intentional. I am passionate about helping clients maximize their existing strengths and uncover their best self as they navigate life’s challenges. I strongly believe you already have the strengths within you to tackle what lies ahead and those strengths will guide the work we do together.
My work integrates Reality Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build practical skills for emotional regulation, stress management, communication, and boundary setting.
Whether you’re looking for parent coaching, healing during relational conflict, help creating a foundation for your marriage, or therapy for teacher burnout, our work will be focused on you and your growth — after all, this is all about you! We’ll identify what’s not working, strengthen what is, and create small, realistic steps for you to take to rise to where you want to be.
