All of the therapists work independently out of the HomePlace Therapy office and are not employees. That means each therapist sets their own office hours and has their own phone number, but you can always call the main office number.
Jennifer Harms, LCMFT
Here's what I need you to know right now. You can find hope! You can find your place!
I've been in private practice for over 20 years, but cut my teeth in community mental health and at the local inpatient hospital system. I work with adults, couples, and older teens. I also lead Women's Group and DBT Group Therapy sessions.
I am a former Okie with a rural past but have called Wichita home for over 20 years. Outside of work, I enjoy quilting, baking and I'm involved at Ridgepoint Church. I am a Sooner fan, but we can talk about your team too! I have an adventurous spirit and love snow skiing and camping with my family, friends and dogs, Kassie and Boomer. You will find me at the farmer's markets and checking out local shops, artisans, and restaurants. And please, call me Jenni.

Jessica Geide, LMFT
I believe that in order to get the most out of therapy, the client needs to work in collaboration with the therapist. Our childhood and current stresses can affect our mental health.
I grew up in Russia, and provide therapy in English and Russian. I work with clients ages 5 and up. I work with family systems that are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, ODD, trauma, and relationship and family issues.
I have been trained in sand tray therapy and EMDR.
