Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in 62220

Hi there! I'm a therapist with a certified specialty in perinatal mental health. I utilize holistic and innovative methods to treat life's common (and some not so common) speed-bumps - the ones that usually leave us feeling like we're trapped in frustrating cycles or tapped out energetically. My life's work and passion is all about holding space for clients who are ready to own their stories and transform their lives. I aim to work with individuals who are ready to become empowered to make a return to their most authentic self! If you are looking for a counselor who is creative, non-judgmental & laid back, we may be a great fit.

Drawing from a person-centered approach, I strive to create a therapeutic environment characterized by empathy, acceptance, and authentic connection. I understand that working with adolescents requires patience, compassion, and a willingness to meet individuals where they are on their journey. My focus extends beyond the individual to encompass the entire family unit. I believe that healing is a collaborative process that involves addressing systemic issues and fostering healthy relational dynamics. By working with the whole system, I aim to create lasting change and promote resilience within the family.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you know what is wrong, but not how to fix it? Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Missouri, with a second License in Illinois. I received my Masters from the University of St Louis and have been practicing for 31 years. I help people of all ages struggling with emotional regulation, the management of symptoms of depression or anxiety, stress, life transitions, , anger management, parenting, and burnout to become the best versions of themselves.

Hello and welcome! The decision to find support through a mental health professional is not always easy. By being here, it shows you possess the courage necessary to look inward and heal. As a clinician, I have the privilege to walk alongside clients during trying times.  I have a compassionate and direct approach. My commitment is to understand your needs and meet you where you are on your journey to wellness.  I am a trauma-informed therapist who helps clients who are struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma/PTSD.

I provide therapy/counseling services for individuals age 12 and older, couples, and families. I have over 9 years of experience providing clinical services to both adults and adolescents in residential, inpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. I have experience treating eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, interpersonal/relationship issues, existential concerns/life transitions, as well as other concerns/issues.

I have been fortunate to work with and connect with adolescents and adults in my practice. My therapeutic approach involves working with client's to identify the issues they are facing, articulate their personal goals and uncover the specific needs of each individual. This approach allows me to build rapport with the client which is conducive to positive outcomes. The client is allowed the time and space to identify triggers and blocks to making meaningful change. A wide array of coping skills and tools will be utilized to manage life stressors and build personal resilience.

Life is hard. Everyone walks through tough times, and no one should have to do it alone. It is my goal to walk with my clients through trials and see them emerge a stronger, healthier version of themselves. It takes courage to ask for help, therefore everyone who walks through my door is treated with respect and met with empathy and compassion.

Your story matters. And you are more than a story. People usually seek therapy when trying to make sense of a piece of their story or trying to create a new chapter. My approach to therapy seeks to hear your story as we both learn more about who you are and what matters to you. I love to help people improve their relationships with themselves and other. Neurodiversity-Affirming therapy for those with Autism, including women and teens, is my primary specialty. I also have specialization in recovery from mental health challenges such as Depression, self-harm, Borderline Personality, Bipolar Disorder and voice hearing/psychosis.

Do you ever feel stressed, overwhelmed, alone, confused or just not sure which way to turn or what to do? I aim to provide a non-judgmental, safe space where we can work together to meet your needs and empower you to make changes in your life so you have more control and peace of mind. My goal is to help clients to discover what they already have and build upon those strengths to be the best version of themselves.
