Dr. Wiseman is a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Missouri and received his doctorate (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology from Wright State University’s School of Professional Psychology in 2018. Throughout his training and early career, Dr. Wiseman has provided treatment services to adolescents and adults in several settings, including college counseling centers, community mental health centers, inpatient hospitals, state/federal penitentiaries, and medical centers.
Dr. Wiseman has firsthand personal and professional experience with first responder populations. He currently works as a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Psychologist at the Kansas City VA Medical Center in Kansas City, MO. On a daily basis, he assists our nation’s Veterans in working through their mental health and substance use related concerns.
Prior to his work at the Kansas City VA, Dr. Wiseman worked as a Drug Abuse Program Coordinator at the United States Federal Penitentiary Leavenworth in Leavenworth, Kansas. During his time at the Federal Penitentiary, he worked alongside correctional officers (many of which had police and military experience) and was expected to carry out the duties of a law enforcement officer on top of his role as a Psychologist. Additionally, his father has served as a fire fighter for the city of St. Louis for over the past 30 years. Through his personal and professional experiences, he has been exposed to and has familiarized himself with the first responder culture. At his previous and current work environments he is often times tasked with providing crisis intervention services to patients and staff in need, to include those impacted by post-traumatic stress. He understands the impact these professions can have on an individual's mental well-being and willingness to seek help, particularly during periods of crisis and uncertainty. He can personally relate to the impact the aforementioned professions have on the individual and those close to them.
After hours, Dr. Wiseman provides individual therapy services (predominantly via telehealth) for a variety of mental health concerns with Vitality Psychological Services (based in Columbia, MO). Many individuals he works closely with experience unwanted psychological symptoms as a result of having an underlying trauma history related to sexual, physical, and/or emotional abuse.

Dr. Wiseman’s other clinical interests include, but are not limited to, treating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, interpersonal/relational issues, stress reduction, life transitions, problematic sexual behavior, and self-esteem issues. When working with these clinical concerns he utilizes a client-centered approach, with a priority of developing a strong working relationship with his clients. He views each of his clients as being unique and as having their own journey to healing. He believes it to be imperative to create a safe and welcoming environment and his approach to treatment emphasizes openness, authenticity, understanding, empathy, and collaboration. He is passionate on both helping his clients live more meaningful lives while aiding them in gaining a sense of personal success and empowerment.
