Who we are
Jenkins Behavioral Conulting, LLC is a private practice providing individualized care specializing in psychotherapy interventions and comprehensive psychological assessment. Our approach integrates evidence-based methods to support emotional well-being, enhance coping skills, and promote personal growth. We offer therapeutic services for a range of concerns including anxiety, ADHD, mood difficulties, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Psychological assessments are available to clarify diagnoses, guide treatment planning, and support educational or occupational needs. Our goal is to provide a compassionate, confidential space where clients can gain insight, build resilience, and move toward greater balance and fulfillment.
This practice is grounded in the principle of “Root & Rise,” which is the belief that meaningful growth begins with insightful self understanding and deep roots. Inspired by the lotus flower—which blooms with beauty and resilience from muddy waters—we support individuals in cultivating inner stability, emotional clarity, a sense of purpose and finding alignment.
Here, healing is not about striving for perfection, but about returning to yourself. We help you root into your values, your story, and your strengths—so you can rise into the next chapter of your life with clarity and confidence.
Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we create a space where you can feel grounded in the present while building a meaningful path forward.
Dr. Melissa Jenkins, Ph.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist | Owner, Jenkins Behavioral Consulting,LLC
Serving 42 states via PSYPACT
Based in Lawrence, Kansas
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Jenkins Behavioral Consulting, a private practice based in Lawrence, Kansas. I provide online psychotherapy and in-person psychological evaluations, serving clients in Kansas, Wyoming, and across 42 PSYPACT-participating states.
With a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a foundation in diverse, evidence-based practices, I take an integrative approach tailored to each client. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, ADHD and neurodiversity, and major life transitions. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens when we are met with both understanding and practical tools — and that growth is not linear, but deeply personal.
I’ve always been drawn to the challenge and transformation that comes with growth, both in my own life and in the lives of those I work with. I meet clients where they are, helping them reconnect with their values, strengthen self-awareness, and move toward greater alignment and wellness — at their own pace.
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to learn from thoughtful mentors and training environments that emphasized flexibility, integrity, and compassion. These experiences have shaped my ability to choose the right tools in the right context, whether I’m offering therapy or psychological assessment.
At the core of my practice is a deep respect for people and their individual journeys. I’m passionate about helping others discover — and project — their own inner light, even through life’s most challenging seasons.
