Hello!

I’m Peyton Milstead, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW, LISW) and the founder of Emotion Therapy Services, LLC, a private practice in Overland Park, Kansas. Originally from Kansas City, I’m excited to return to my roots and serve the community with compassionate, evidence-based mental health care.

I specialize in individual therapy for children, teens, and young adults ages 5-30, addressing challenges like anxiety, depression, personality disorders, ADHD, trauma, self-esteem, behavioral concerns, and life transitions. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving (STEPPS), I create a warm, tailored space where clients feel heard and empowered to grow.

My approach is collaborative and heartfelt, blending proven techniques with genuine connection to help clients and families build confidence and resilience. I also offer parent coaching and family sessions to support family dynamics and emotional well being.

When I’m not in session, you’ll likely find me curled up with a true crime book or documentary, my cats by my side, indulging my curiosity.

For clients who are not billing through insurance, I offer a sliding scale fee to help make therapy more accessible. If cost is a concern, please don't hesitate to reach out.
