Location
Just outside Kansas City, Summit Ranch offers outpatient mental health services for kids and teens in a setting that feels more like summer camp than therapy. Located on 103 acres in Shawnee, Kansas, our property blends traditional counseling with outdoor experiences that help kids build confidence, focus, and emotional strength.
What Makes Summit Ranch Special
Our setting isn’t just beautiful. It’s part of the healing.
At Summit Ranch, we designed every corner of our 103-acre campus to help kids feel safe, calm, and ready to grow. From animal companions to archery, every activity becomes a way to practice focus, build resilience, and feel more in control.
Here’s what makes our space different:
Peaceful walking trails, therapeutic gardens, and a waterfall that invites calm and conversation
Equine-assisted learning with Sadie, Emmett Patty Mahorse, our spirited mini
A 40,000 square foot recreation center where movement becomes a tool for focus and fun
Cozy spaces and friendly animals that help anxious or sensory-sensitive kids feel at ease
This is a place where kids aren’t just supported—they’re empowered.
Children’s Therapy in Kansas City That Feels Different
Summit Ranch offers outpatient therapy for kids and teens ages 8 to 18, serving families across Johnson County, Wyandotte County, and the greater Kansas City area.
We support kids who are navigating:
Anxiety, emotional regulation, and school-related stress
ADHD and executive function challenges
Confidence, social skills, and resilience
Instead of sitting in a traditional office, therapy at Summit Ranch happens through movement, play, and connection—with nature, animals, and people who truly understand.
Our location in Shawnee, Kansas is just minutes from Overland Park, Olathe, and downtown Kansas City. But it feels like a world apart.
It’s a place where therapy feels less like an appointment and more like a chance to grow.
