Nathen Hacker, LPC
Founder of Maverick Insights Counseling
Nathen has worked with teens and adults in community mental and behavioral health for several years. Nathen earned a Master of Education (M. Ed.) in Counseling in 2022 from Wichita State University.
Nathen offers counseling to individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, or other issues impacting a person's ability to function well and feel empowered in their daily life. Nathen uses his expertise in a variety of theories including cognitive behavioral therapy and existentialism to provide person centered treatment.
Nathen was inspired to establish Maverick Insights Counseling because he has seen the negative effects of closed-minded and rigid treatment on adolescents and adults. Nathen strives to offer support and to think differently about issues outside of mainstream ideals. Nathen believes that sometimes a person just needs a non-judgmental ear to help them walk through life and offer support.
Nathen currently accepts the following types of insurance: Aetna, BlueCross and BlueShield, Centene, Medicaid, Medicare, MultiPlan, ProvDRsCare, and Sunflower Health Plan. Nathen also accepts private pay clients.
