The idea of Coffee Talk Counseling began between two tired grad students on the way back from class. We wanted the stigma of therapy to be gone. We wanted therapy to be as normal as grabbing a cup of coffee. We wanted to own a coffee/therapy shop. Plus, we were sleep-deprived and surviving on coffee and a dream. We continued to work in our positions and grow as clinicians. Then one day, I decided it was time to get this ball rolling. I began providing telehealth therapy services to save for rent and an office. I found a small office in Liberal. Not the coffee shop I'd hoped for, but I did make a little coffee bar and a cozy place for people to stop in. If you would like to make an appointment you can request one online or give the office a call. In the Fall of 2024 we added Maria Gutierrez, LMSW. She is a graduate from FHSU, bilingual, and local to the Southwest Kansas area. She works with adolescents and adults.
