There are a lot of ways to describe what makes KSBH at The Farm special, so we asked the people who know it best.

From the care we provide to the environment we’ve created, every part of The Farm reflects a shared belief that mental health care can be personal, connected, creative, and built around what people need as individuals.

Hear from members of the KSBH team about what this place means to them and what they’re most excited to see grow here!

Maybe you’ve been thinking of reaching out to a therapist for some time now, maybe you’ve been putting it off because you weren’t quite sure where to start, or maybe you just assumed counseling just isn’t for someone like you.

As we’ve started expanding our services, we’ve expanded who we can support, too!

So, whether you’re looking for care for yourself, a parent, your teenager, or anyone else you love, we’re here to help you figure out the next step.

Unfortunately, not every kid is excited for the start of the school year.

On social media, you might see plenty of smiling first-day-of-school photos, but what you won’t see is the child who barely slept the night before, the teen who’s already worried about fitting in, or the parent wondering if this year will hold any change.

The beginning of the school year can bring excitement, but it can also bring some very real anxiety.

KSBH is here to be a resource for you and your family!

A lot of men grow up believing they should handle everything on their own.

Stress, grief, anxiety, relationship struggles… sometimes the message is “just push through.” But asking for help isn’t giving up! It’s choosing to move forward.

We’re proud to be expanding services specifically for men because everyone deserves support, and no one should carry life’s challenges alone.

Today we celebrated the life of our dear friend and former board president, Janet Frasher. Her legacy will live on at KSBH in many ways, but specifically through a new support community for those experiencing cancer.  It was Janet’s hope that at KSBH at The Farm, we could expand our mental health mission to include persons fighting cancer and those who support them. “Grace & Grit”  will be a new group providing this support and will be launching very soon. Please stay tuned for details. KSBH thanks Janet for her service, her loyalty, her dedication, and her commitment to connecting others.

Mental health isn’t a one-size-fits-all thing.

A teenager navigating school stress doesn’t need the same support as an adult facing burnout, and someone entering retirement has different needs than a recent graduate learning how to navigate independence.

So, we’re growing! KSBH is offering expanded services designed specifically for adults 55+, men, young adults, and adolescents, with even more on the horizon.
