Therapy and Parent Coaching in Olathe, KS
Whether I’m 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.
Before becoming a therapist, I was a teacher and later a school counselor. I spent years inside classrooms, hallways, and conference rooms supporting students, families, and educators. That experience shaped how I see people — not as problems to fix, but as individuals navigating complex systems and relationships.
I’ve sat with overwhelmed parents, burned-out teachers, and students going through a variety of trauma and challenging situations. I understand how quickly stress can take root within someone — and how hard it can feel to untangle.
I’m also a mother and wife. Which means I know that parenting is deeply meaningful, deeply humbling, and extremely exhausting! I know what it’s like to want to respond calmly and instead react. To question whether you’re doing enough — or doing it “right.” That lived perspective keeps my work grounded, practical, and compassionate.
When I’m not in my therapy office, you’ll likely find me watching a good movie, spending time outside with my boys, baking, grabbing coffee with a friend, or working in our garden. I’m drawn to growth — in nature, in relationships, and in people.
