Hello, I’m Debra Wren, LPC, and I’m proud to be licensed to provide counseling in Missouri and Georgia. If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re seeking someone who will truly listen and help you find clarity. Maybe you’ve been feeling unheard in your relationship, stuck in conflict, or disconnected from your partner. Or perhaps you’re navigating anxiety, sadness, or burnout and simply want a safe space to sort through it all. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and direct. I believe healing happens when we understand the deeper “why” behind our emotions—not just when we learn how to manage them. Help is here!

Let's collaboratively craft a plan to achieve your mental health goals. As we seek to be the best version of ourselves we discover parts of us that need healing, those parts can be distracting to our goals. Lets work together to design a course of action to heal those inner wounds by engaging in trauma informed brain based interventions backed by neuroscience to foster the growth you need to move past the pieces that are holding you back.

If your relationships, responsibilities, or transitions have stretched you thin, I offer a grounded, compassionate space to make sense of what feels too heavy to hold alone. You deserve a therapist who truly understands the weight you’re carrying. I bring both clinical training and lived experience to help you feel seen, supported, and less alone.
I work with adults, couples, and families facing big transitions: new babies, illness, launching older kids, or the quiet grief of a relationship changing over time. I help you slow down, understand what’s happening inside, and respond from a calmer, more grounded place.

Have you tried therapy before but struggled to get what you were looking for from it? You need someone who is going to do more than listen. I help people see how they came to be who they are and how to transform parts of themselves that have outworn their welcome. Whether you're suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship dissatisfaction, or a general lack of purpose, your symptoms are an invaluable signal that it is time to make some changes. There are very few models on how to grow ourselves, which leaves many people in a perpetual state of desiring something without knowing how to get there. Let's find your unique pathway!

If you or a loved one would benefit from seeing a counselor I specialize in helping teen boys and men.
Teen boys over 14 who are open to the idea of counseling can benefit no matter if a parent initiates. Parents can expect from me good boundaries and communication. Teens often report a willingness to trust me and engage in counseling.
Also, I work with men to understand themselves and their relationships. Counseling seeks to address aspects of yourself we can work together to understand. My goal is to help men towards increased hope and resolve in meeting life's challenges.

I bring a background in healthcare and many years of experience supporting individuals and families through complex life, health, and system-related challenges. Over time, I have worked closely with people navigating not only emotional stress, but also the practical realities that come with illness, aging, caregiving, and major life transitions. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when you are trying to manage appointments, decisions, responsibilities, and emotional strain all at once-often while also being the person other depend on.

I provide a speciality therapy for perfectionism. My clients are thoughtful, intelligent people who are committed to reaching their potential, avoiding negatively impacting others, and preventing problems before they arise. Yet can we have too much of a good thing? The self-control it takes to keep this up can be exhausting, and it can impair our natural ability to express ourselves, connect to others, or explore new ways of being that might make us happier in the long run.

You’re searching for something, or someone to connect with, right? That’s why you’re here. Finding a therapist can be a very difficult task, especially if you are not feeling your best. You have found the courage to take the first and second steps, which is saying “I need some help and I need to find a therapist.” You are the expert on you, so you know the choices you have made and the consequences, good and bad, that come along with them. Fixating and ruminating on those choices and consequences can lead you to use unhealthy coping mechanisms, leading to you feeling trapped by old habits.

I am an EMDR certified therapist, counselor, and former yoga teacher specializing in mindfulness-based interventions for healing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I began my counseling career with a background of nearly 20 years teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness to groups and individuals. I integrate the tools and techniques of yoga practice and theory with more traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, ACT, DBT, and IFS in order to treat people holistically - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I work with thoughtful adults who are curious about themselves and open to profound reflection. Our work together doesn't evade quick fixes, but it also doesn't assume simplicity. Rather, my patients often seek a more longitudinal psychotherapy that explores the deeper patterns shaping their lives, with the aim of empowering them to live with expanded awareness, and greater clarity, that inspires both agency and authenticity.
