Counseling Practice – Soothing Hearts Counseling Services
Soothing Hearts Counseling Services, LLC is a counseling practice located at 115 S. Sycamore St., Gardner, Kansas 66030. The practice is operated by Tracy Bennett, MA, LPC, LCPC, who holds licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas. The clinician brings nearly 20 years of professional experience to the work.
Individual therapy is the primary service format offered, available through both in-person appointments at the Gardner office and telehealth sessions conducted via a HIPAA-compliant video platform. The in-person office is described as a safe, regularly cleaned and disinfected environment for clients who prefer face-to-face sessions.
Treatment areas addressed by the practice include depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, and other mental health concerns. The stated clinical approach emphasizes warm conversations, humor, trust, and the absence of judgment in the therapeutic relationship. Tracy Bennett describes the therapeutic space as one where “the conversation flows” and the therapist serves as an objective participant, providing empathy and guidance throughout the process.
Beyond direct therapy sessions, the website provides supplementary resources for clients and the broader community. These include crisis line information, support group listings, mental health symptom guides, and materials designed to help individuals support someone in their life who may be experiencing mental health difficulties. This resource orientation reflects an engagement with community mental health education alongside the practice’s direct clinical work.
Tracy Bennett’s dual licensure in Kansas and Missouri allows the practice to serve clients across both states, with the Gardner, Kansas office location providing geographic access to communities on both sides of the state line. The availability of telehealth further extends the practice’s reach for clients who cannot attend in-person sessions.
No specific information about insurance acceptance or self-pay fee schedules appears on the site. The practice maintains a Psychology Today profile for reference.
