Created in 2019 by Emily Sterk- LCMFT, Healing Towards Wellness is a mental health practice unlike any other in Kansas City. Designed to address the growing need for mental health care in our area, HTW operates on a payment plan that is unique and attainable for every individual.

We believe that wellness isn’t just a privilege for the wealthiest among us, and affordable treatment shouldn’t be reserved for those in emergent critical need.

As we grow, please check the site often to learn more about our three phase plan to bring a multi-faceted, affordable, and accessible mental wellness facility to Johnson County!
