Holistic Counseling, Movement Therapy, and Yoga Wall Training in Kansas City’s City Market
Business Overview
KC Counseling Studio is a therapeutic center located at 104 E. 5th Street, Suite 201 in Kansas City’s Historic City Market district. The studio offers counseling services and mind-body practices led by licensed professionals who focus on holistic approaches to mental and physical wellness. Sessions are designed to support individuals working through challenges such as stress, trauma, grief, anxiety, and personal growth in a safe and comfortable environment.
In addition to counseling, the studio offers movement-based sessions using tools like The Great Yoga Wall and STOTT Pilates Reformer, providing clients with options for strength training, rehabilitation, and restorative movement. Services include private sessions, small group experiences, and customized training designed to support each person’s goals, posture, and physical needs.
Our Story
KC Counseling Studio was created as a private, confidential space where individuals can focus on healing, movement, and personal development. The studio combines counseling and mind-body practices to support clients who want a holistic approach to mental and physical well-being.
The studio is owned by Rebecca Baxter, who provides counseling and movement-based sessions tailored to individual needs. Practitioners who work within the studio share a similar philosophy that healing often involves both the mind and the body, and each professional manages their own clients and schedules by appointment.
Counseling & Therapeutic Support
KC Counseling Studio offers individual counseling sessions in a private and confidential environment. Sessions typically last 60–75 minutes, with intake appointments available for new clients.
The studio also incorporates therapeutic techniques such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based method used to help clients process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional impact of past experiences. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation — such as eye movement, tapping, or auditory cues — to help the brain process and reorganize distressing memories.
Yoga Wall & Movement Training
One of the studio’s distinctive features is The Great Yoga Wall, which supports a wide variety of stretching, strengthening, and restorative movements. Sessions may be conducted privately or in small groups, depending on the needs of the client.
Movement sessions are tailored to each individual’s posture, goals, and injuries. The studio also offers access to a STOTT Pilates Reformer, an exercise system often used for rehabilitation, core strengthening, and flexibility training.
These sessions are suitable for many types of clients, from athletes and dancers to individuals recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions.
Private Training & Couples Sessions
KC Counseling Studio offers private training sessions lasting either 60 or 90 minutes. These sessions combine yoga and Pilates-based movement designed to support strength, flexibility, and overall wellness.
The studio also offers couples sessions, which allow two people to participate together in movement or restorative exercises. These sessions are open to couples of all kinds, including friends who want to participate together.
Small Group Experiences
Small group events are available for groups of up to five participants. These 60-minute sessions can be customized based on the group’s goals, whether they want a restorative experience or a more active movement session.
Groups often include corporate teams, friends gathering for a wellness activity, or special events such as bachelorette parties.
Private & Confidential Studio Environment
KC Counseling Studio operates as a private, appointment-only space. During a scheduled session, the studio is reserved exclusively for the client or group using the space, allowing for a calm and focused environment.
The studio also offers an optional heated studio setting, with ceiling panels that can warm the room when requested in advance.
