Teressa Thurwanger
M.S., LCMFT, SEP| Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and A.R.T. (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) for individuals 21+
Teressa is a collaborative therapist who practices a holistic approach focusing on acute and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. “Watching people show up, work hard, and reap the amazing benefits from their practices of courage and vulnerability inside and outside of my office gives me life.”
Teressa graduated with two undergraduate degrees in Criminal Justice and Elementary Education from Evangel University in 1997, pursuing law enforcement as her first career for several years. Next up was being a full-time stay-at-home mama, followed by working as a private investigator for the Missouri State Board of Nursing and the Missouri Real Estate Commission.
After beginning her own self-work with a therapist nearly 20 years ago, and a few years later navigating her divorce with intention and kindness, Teressa decided she wanted to go back to school. She wanted to learn how to use all of her lived experiences to help others, as she had been helped with clinical skills and unconditional positive regard in a therapy room.
She attended the Friends University Marriage and Family Therapy Program and received a Master of Science with honors in 2017. She is fully clinically licensed in both Kansas and Missouri. She has also completed a significant number of post-graduate trainings and certifications, including being trained as a death doula, a ketamine assisted psychotherapist, and most recently as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner through the three-year program by Somatic Experiencing International.
Teressa is both incredibly warm and unapologetically bold, holding every gritty thing you might bring to a session with compassion and an utter lack of judgment. She looks forward to meeting you!
Teressa is private pay but does provide monthly superbills upon request. She also accepts HSA/FSA cards.

Hannah Swanson
Hannah M. Swanson of HMS Naturopathy is a Naturopathic Wellness Practitioner (NWP) and Integrative Somatic Practitioner (ISP) specializing in trauma-informed, root-cause healing through the lens of Holistic Health, Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), Ayurveda, and nervous system care.
Her work bridges the gap between physical health and emotional well-being, supporting clients in understanding how stress, trauma, and the state of the nervous system can manifest as chronic symptoms in the body.
Hannah takes a gentle, personalized approach to healing, guiding clients through somatic awareness practices, in-depth lifestyle and nutritional support, and sustainable shifts that restore resilience and internal safety.
Her sessions are deeply supportive, intuitive, and science-informed, designed to help clients feel seen, heard, and empowered in their healing process.
Approach to Care
Rather than separating naturopathic and somatic services, I offer an integrative intake experience.
From there, I intuitively and clinically tailor each session to meet the client where they are, whether that’s more body-based somatic work, deeper lifestyle/nutritional support, or a blend of both.
CREDENTIALS & CERTIFICATION NOTE
I hold certifications in Naturopathy, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, Ayurveda, and Advanced Psychoneuroimmunology, Yoga, Neuroscience, and have been recently approved for Board Certification in Naturopathic Practitioner Care.
CLIENT EXPERIENCE & PHILOSOPHY
My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported at the deepest level! Every session will be unique to your needs, whether it leans more towards talk counseling, somatic embodiment, 1:1 movement exercises, nutrition and mineral supplement integration; I strive to create a plan with you that you can feel confident in.
Whether you’re navigating chronic stress, trauma recovery (c-ptsd/ptsd), autoimmune dysfunction, hormone imbalances, or simply seeking more vibrant wellness, you’re in the right place. I believe your body is not broken ~ only communicating. Through personalized sessions, education, and trauma-informed support, I help you reconnect with your body’s wisdom and heal from the inside out.
I believe that true healing happens when the body is no longer in survival mode, and my work focuses on helping clients gently shift into a state where healing becomes possible again. I hope to be your missing piece within your health journey and remind you of your natural power to accelerate into a more peaceful, and healthy life.
All are welcome here.
