Supportive Counseling Services

for Individuals, Couples, Children, Families, and Groups

For over two decades, the Westport Growth Center has been providing a safe, supportive atmosphere to help women, men and children from throughout the Kansas City area to discover their full potential.

Westport Growth Center co-founder and owner, Shelley Stelmach-Nigro, as well as Nikol Averbuch, Donna Burgess, Peggy Chilson, Elizabeth Hunter-Blank, Makini King, Julie Kohlhart, Jude Lilienthal, Jakob Nelson, and Anna Stelmach all view counseling as an opportunity to become more aware of yourself and how you relate to others.

They each employ a variety of techniques in the counseling process based on the presenting concerns. Their goal is to explore issues which encourage you to become more of who they are as individuals.
