Therapy is a creative partnership. I bring to it compassion, 23 years of experience, and extensive skills in working with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief and loss, adjustment disorders, and family dynamics. I believe managing life's challenges and transitions is most effective through helping clients utilize their own inner strengths and resources to change their thinking and behaviors. Through the pandemic, I came to believe that working virtually provides a variety of therapeutic advantages such as allowing the client to participate from his or her own comfortable space and without geographic limitations.

Does anger, sadness or anxiety get in the way of your relationships, jobs or general happiness? I work with clients to process these feelings and the pain they can cause. We all carry baggage from our childhoods and pasts, worsened by the hardships we endure as adults and from the inevitable trials of daily life, but they do not define who we are. Anger is a common response to these issues but does not have to interfere with our lives. Having worked for over a decade as a first responder, I know first hand how trauma impacts us, especially in our ability to control impulses, frustration and anger. You do not need to suffer alone.

I help individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and life transitions find clarity, connection, and emotional balance. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Many of my clients are adolescents, college students, and adults who feel overwhelmed despite being capable and driven. They may struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship stress, or feeling unsure of who they are or what comes next. Often, they are navigating academic, career, or life transitions while managing self-doubt, burnout, or emotional overwhelm. They want to better understand themselves, feel more confident in decisions, and develop healthier patterns that support balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships.

My ideal clients are high-achieving women who often appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, overextended, or emotionally exhausted underneath. Many are first-generation professionals navigating anxiety, burnout, and identity pressure in demanding careers and relationships. They are often used to holding everything together while quietly experiencing internal stress, self-doubt, and difficulty slowing down without guilt. They come to therapy seeking relief from chronic stress patterns and a more grounded, sustainable way of living and relating.

You look like you have it together, but something still feels "off" & you can't fully explain why. You've done the reflecting. You have insight. You've maybe even tried therapy before, but you still feel stuck in cycles that just don't make sense. You can name what's happening, but something isn't clicking the way you need it to. I help high-functioning women (18 & over) understand what's actually driving the patterns so you can respond differently: with more direction, steadiness & self-trust. This isn't about gaining more insight - it's about things finally making sense in a way that shifts how you experience yourself & your life.

You're parenting while healing from your own childhood wounds. You yell, shut down, or respond in ways that don't feel aligned with the parent you want to be. The mental load of household management and child-rearing isn't fairly distributed in your home and something needs to change. You're struggling with constant family conflict around screens, limits, and routines. You're helping a child heal from trauma while managing your own fear, anger, or grief. You're embarrassed or anxious about your child's behavior in public- you dread public meltdowns and calls home from school. Your kid's already in services and they're not working.

My ideal client is a woman who is looking to have greater, more holistic health in their life. They are maybe struggling with limiting beliefs or self-esteem issues that they know that, if resolved, would help them to establish a more firm footing in life and be able to navigate life's challenges with greater ease. They would be energized and ready for change and willing to take on the challenge of improving self-care from a holistic perspective.

Hi there, I'm Brittany! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about working with women and the maternal health population. I have a person centered approach which allows me to collaborate with the client as a member of their team on their pursuit to optimal wellness. I use different theoretical approaches based on the client’s needs. The most common approach that I tend to use is the psychodynamic approach. This approach helps me to understand the client’s background as I also use other forms of therapy such as cognitive behavioral, solution focused, and motivational interviewing.

We are all just walking each other home in a timeline vibe of uncertain and chaotic. I bring a deep love (and nerdiness) for how we become - while honoring that you know yourself best. My work centers on returning to the safety of self, finding relief, vulnerability, agency, and trust in your authenticity. I’m a late-diagnosed ADHD’er and work with trauma, anxiety, ADHD/AuDHD, moral injury, peri-menopause and religious/spiritual trauma/wounding. I primarily support women, non-binary, and neurodivergent adults, through a culturally affirmative, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed lens. Licensed in MO & KS. I’m here to walk with you.

People need different things in their lives and when they come to therapy they can expect a calm, quiet atmosphere and a place where they can express themselves in ways that they may have never felt safe enough to do so. There are so many challenges in life and individuals should take pride in recognizing that it takes strength to reach out for guidance.

The anxiety is loud. The inner critic is louder. And underneath it all, there’s a heaviness you can’t always explain. You just know you’re tired of feeling this way. I work with adults across Missouri who are high-functioning on the outside and exhausted on the inside. If that’s you, you’re exactly who I work with.

Hi, I'm Mandy! Life can be a lot to handle on your own, and I'm here to help. I tend to be a good fit for clients looking for a space to process/organize their thoughts and feelings, or those seeking a more informal therapeutic experience. I view therapy as a partnership, and while I've got some tips and tricks to help you start feeling more in control and less stressed, you are the expert on you. We'll work at your pace, talking through the things you feel are most important - and it's okay if that's not the same thing from week to week. Healing isn't linear; we'll celebrate your successes no matter how big or small!

I have experience helping children, teens, and adults find their way through difficult times. Perhaps you have overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, anger, anxiety, or confusion, or are going through major changes in your relationship, work, or school life. Perhaps you feel stuck and simply want to live more authentically. As we explore together, you can feel better, avoid old pitfalls, and work toward your goals. I'm comfortable with people of diverse cultures, sexualities, and ages.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, low self-esteem, or disconnection from your partner? Therapy can provide relief from pain, as well as deeper understanding about the meanings it carries.
Perhaps you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe your inner critic is the loudest voice in your life. Your comfort zone might be making all your decisions. Maybe you’ve spent years taking care of others, so much so you aren’t even sure who you are anymore. Maybe you hide parts of yourself to avoid conflict or you worry too much about what others think.

I am an LPC (MO) and LCPC (KS) who specializes in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, military and first responder trauma, and LGBTQIA-related issues. Throughout my years as a clinician, I have learned that the best therapy is done when a positive connection and therapeutic trust can be built and maintained. I work to make therapy a safe place for clients to open up and feel supported and valued. Therapy can be intense and hard at times, I work to keep a positive balance between seriousness and humor. I am a person-centered therapist and I believe in encouraging and challenging my clients to grow.

Finding a safe and supportive place to talk can make all the difference. I work with teens and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and spiritual concerns. In our first few sessions, my focus is to build trust and understand your unique story. You can expect a nonjudgmental space where we explore your strengths and uncover what’s getting in the way of your growth.
My approach is collaborative and at your pace. I love seeing people become fully themselves—functioning on all cylinders and thriving in their everyday lives.

Many of the people I work with appear strong and capable on the outside while privately carrying trauma, grief or memories of experiences that few people know about. I often work with individuals who have lived through profound loss, suicide loss, traumatic events, or chaotic environments, yet have built thoughtful and capable lives. Over time, unresolved grief or complex trauma can surface as depression, emotional numbness, exhaustion, or a sense that something inside still hasn’t settled. Therapy can offer a place where the weight you’ve been carrying no longer has to remain as a heaviness or affecting your growth and happiness.
