Kansas City 2026: Community Wellness, Healing and Storytelling

In 2026, Kansas City will welcome visitors from across the country and around the world. While this influx brings excitement, tourism, and economic growth, it can also create stress, disruption, emotional strain, and pressure for the families, workers, and communities who live here.

​​

Tamicka Monson, MA, MS, LCPC, CCTP, is proud to support Kansas City through this historic moment with trauma-informed therapy, speaking, and storytelling designed to help the community stay grounded, resilient, and connected.
