Sierra Cook
MA, LPC,NCC
FOUNDER | LICENSED THERAPIST
Sierra Cook is a licensed therapist and the founder of Fearless Counseling. She earned her Master of Arts in Counseling from MidAmerica Nazarene University and brings a steady, thoughtful presence to her work with individuals and couples.
Fearless Counseling was recently recognized as Best of KC for Mental Health Services by The Kansas City Star. While that recognition reflects the quality of care provided, Sierra’s focus remains deeply personal — creating a space where clients feel genuinely seen, supported, and safe enough to do meaningful work.
For Sierra, becoming a therapist has always felt like a calling. She set out to build an authentic practice where therapists feel valued and supported, and where clients are met exactly where they are. Inspired by the belief that courage isn’t the absence of fear but the willingness to move beyond it, Sierra believes therapy should help people face life with trust, confidence, and resilience — in every part of who they are.
Kaitlyn Engelbrecht
MA, PLPC
PROVISIONALLY LICENSED THERAPISt | EMdr certified
In my therapy room, I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. I work with adults and teens who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and more. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT, DBT, and ACT) and feminist theory. I am here to walk alongside you as we navigate through the challenges life throws at you - whether that is learning to manage emotions, change unhelpful behaviors, help adjust to life changes, or deal with stressful situations. I welcome you to embrace this journey of healing with me by your side.
Addison White
MA, PLPC
PROVISIONALLY LICENSED THERAPIST | EMDR CERTIFIED
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure of your next step, or disconnected from the life you want to live, you’re not alone. I work with older teens and adults as they move through challenges like anxiety, trauma, and the complexities of neurodivergence, helping them reconnect with their personal values and discover new ways forward. I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to listen deeply, offer perspective, and collaborate with you in a space that is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and grounded. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based approaches, feminist theory, and mindfulness practices, I work alongside you to ease emotional burdens, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
