Training the next generation of psychologists.

Each year, MPS, L.L.C., proudly welcomes one gifted, compassionate doctoral student from Kansas City University’s up-and-coming Health Service Psychology Psy.D. program as a junior colleague for training in psychological assessment and psychotherapy under Dr. Maxwell’s close supervision.

Recognizing that many folks would often like to meet more frequently than he can accommodate, Dr. Maxwell is pleased to offer his current clients an option to meet with his trainee during weeks when he is unavailable or fully scheduled. Dr. Maxwell allows his student to provide supportive, adjunctive therapy sessions under his regular (i.e., weekly) guidance to folks currently meeting with him. This option is available Wednesday through Friday from 9:00AM to 5:00PM for 60-minute sessions at a low rate of $40/session.

NOTE: New clients may select Dr. Maxwell’s trainee as their preferred provider following an initial evaluation conducted by Dr. Maxwell. Please note Dr. Maxwell supervises his trainee across all clinical services as described. If you are interested, please call (913) 733-1882.

Meet Britney Slater: Experience in development from childhood to college

“As a doctoral candidate at Kansas City University, I am dedicated to treating others and helping improve lives. With my Master’s of Clinical Psychology from KCU, I have a strong foundation in evidence-based practices in psychology and human behavior. 

I have gained experience in previous practicum sites working in an acute psychiatric setting for children aged five to 17 and with college students in an outpatient academic counseling center aged 18 to 24. These experiences have provided me with a great understanding of development throughout the lifespan and the complexities of navigating life transitions. 

My professional interests include anxiety and adjustment disorders, trauma, and working with a diverse population. I work within an ACT [Acceptance & Commitment Therapy] and interpersonal framework and believe that everyone is capable of improving their lives. 

I remain committed to life-long learning and continuing my education in clinical psychology. I am excited to meet with clients and work with them to navigate the challenges of life."
