Awakenings KC

For many people in recovery, the work doesn't end after leaving a residential treatment program or completing a detox. Managing co-occurring mental health conditions — depression, anxiety, trauma, and others — is often central to sustaining long-term sobriety and wellbeing. Awakenings KC is structured specifically for this phase of the journey, offering outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) services that can serve as standalone aftercare or as a complement to an existing recovery support network.

The practice treats conditions including Major Depressive Disorder, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and trauma. These are among the most common diagnoses that co-occur with substance use disorders, and having access to a dedicated psychiatric team — rather than relying solely on a counselor or peer support group — can make a meaningful difference in recovery outcomes. Awakenings KC's outpatient structure means patients maintain their daily lives and community connections while receiving consistent clinical care.

Awakenings KC offers two treatment modalities not widely available at general outpatient programs or recovery centers: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Ketamine Infusion Therapy. TMS is a non-invasive procedure used to address conditions like depression, while Ketamine Infusion Therapy is available for patients who may not have responded adequately to conventional treatments. Ketamine sessions are priced at $450 per session, and the practice provides transparent pricing rather than requiring patients to navigate ambiguous billing.

These offerings place Awakenings KC in a distinct category within the Overland Park and broader Kansas City metro area treatment landscape. For individuals whose recovery is complicated by treatment-resistant depression or trauma-related conditions, access to these interventions within an outpatient setting — alongside Medication Management — represents a level of clinical depth that few local outpatient programs can match. The practice also accepts Medicare, broadening access for adults who carry that coverage.

Awakenings KC works with adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, and neurodivergent individuals. This isn't a generic population list — it reflects an intentional clinical environment designed to be responsive to people who have historically found mainstream treatment settings unwelcoming or poorly equipped for their needs. LGBTQ+ individuals and neurodivergent people face elevated rates of mental health conditions and substance use disorders, and finding an affirming outpatient program that takes those identities seriously matters in recovery.

The clinical team at Awakenings KC brings a range of training and credentials to this work. Dr. Miguel Stamati, board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, holds a medical degree from the National University of Córdoba. Loise Wameithi earned her MSN and PMHNP-BC credential from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Amelia Hess, who holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from UMKC, provides counseling services under the supervision of licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Becky Milks. Together, they form a team capable of addressing both the psychiatric and therapeutic dimensions of sustained recovery.
