Anger Management Therapists in Missouri

Greetings! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Missouri and certified in DBT. I have diverse experience in working with teens and young adults in various settings, such as private practice, inpatient psychiatry, youth case management, outpatient substance abuse for teens, and adolescent intensive outpatient programming (IOP). I have also volunteered at a crisis hotline and a child development IRB research lab. I’m a proud Eagle Scout and a Big Brothers Big Sisters of KC mentor. My specialty and passion is helping teens and young adults. I provide in-office services.

Elizabeth (Eli) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in the state of Missouri. Eli believes that every client is unique and that their counseling experience should be individualized and custom-tailored to meet each need. Her straightforward therapy style empowers clients to confront challenges head on, promoting resiliency and lasting transformation. Eli enjoys working with adolescents, adults, and couples. She is a certified specialist in anger management (CSAM), a certified SYMBIS facilitator, and the founder of the Risk Assessment program utilized by area courts and juvenile offices.

Life is hard. But that doesn't mean that enjoyment and freedom are distant, idealistic concepts. Whether you are experiencing difficulties in relationships or individually, therapy can be an empowering and life-changing tool. Within my practice, I seek to understand you, first and foremost. I also approach counseling with a goal to modify current thoughts and behaviors, as well as understand why those thoughts and behaviors exist. Through this, you gain the tools and insight to create lasting change.

Are you seeking an answer to your problems? Is anger controlling the way you want to live life? Are you dissatisfied with life and don't know why? If so, I am interested in helping you. I believe that through exploring one's life experiences, both past and present, people find the solutions to their most difficult challenges.

Life can be challenging, especially in our fast-paced transient society. I work with adults, teens, and children of all ages. I specialize in Marriage Conflict and Parent-Child conflict with a large portion of my business devoted to adolescents. From Social Anxiety, to ADHD and chronic depression. I am trained in PLAY THERAPY, EMDR, Veteran's Deployment Psychology, CBT and much more. "Friendly, but professional," describes how most clients see me. I love what I do and look forward to working with you.

Over half of my work is with couples. Through training and supervision in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), I can see and hear needs and feelings long hidden for fear of being hurt again. I empathize and acknowledge real wrongs and real emotional damage to trust and respect. I hear both sides. I also offer hope. I can see when marital conflict itself offers evidence that partners still desire and need each other. I know how difficult a process forgiveness and then trust building really are. Slowly, when even one is ready to love again, I equip both to express their hearts with a gentle strength, and to hear with compassion.

I enjoy partnering with adolescents and adults with a holistic approach, taking time to understand and value your unique experience. I am especially passionate about working with challenges of emotional regulation (particularly anxiety and anger), self-image and identity, and times of transition. My goal as a therapist is to help you understand yourself and equip you as you move towards healthier ways of relating with yourself and others. I approach this by mapping out relational dynamics and helping you build the skills needed to thrive in overwhelming situations.

Depression, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, and trauma effects everyone sometime in his/her life. It is important to have coping skills to battle these issues. I am passionate about seeing people not only enjoy life, but thrive to their fullest potential.

I help individuals with depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, trauma, grief, or shame. Many of my clients are in major life transitions. I help people become more aware of their emotional responses to stressors and to find better ways to manage their inner lives. I can help you become more empowered to make wiser decisions with a stronger sense of self, so you will be more satisfied with your life.

6-8 sessions may be all you need. Do you often think/say to yourself: “I should know this?” “I’ve read all the self-help books.” “I’ve done therapy in the past.” "I was doing great." “What are you going to tell me that I don’t already know?” or "I have never done this before" I get it. I work with negative, self-limiting beliefs and past traumas that may be holding you back.

I have had the honor of conducting professional counseling services since 2007 as an Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I consider myself to be a mental health clinician. Client empowerment, rapport building, and a unique ability to teach clients to unlearn unhealthy coping skills and to relearn healthy coping skills are my strengths. Strong focus is given to emotional regulation and assessing emotional dis-regulation symptoms in clients. The use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the treatment orientation I use the most with my clients.

I work with individuals, couples, and families in helping them achieve control over "emotional hijacking" and poor decision making. Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection prevent people from experiencing connectedness with life and with others. Therefore, the ideal client is one who is struggling with relationship problems, anger, addictions (sexual or chemical), poor stress control, depression, or anxiety-I provide a safe environment where the individual's pain and/or struggle is met with understanding alongside a plan of action to address the issue(s).

I have 16 years of clinical experience in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, anger, relationship issues, and most mental health disorders. Wellness is possible for everyone no matter what they have had to walk through. Coping is possible, but healing is essential to move beyond the places we become stuck.

We all walk on a journey through life. It is on this journey that we face situations that we can celebrate, but also situations in which we struggle. I will walk with you on this journey. We will be open and honest to help you reach a place of peace that you desire. It takes time to work through grief, anger, and challenges, and that is okay. Allow your inner strength to shine through as you make this step toward inner healing. Know that you are worth this step and the time that it takes to reach the destination you choose to find a better and more fulfilling life. Call today and know that it is time to get started. You can do this!

Hi! I'm glad you're here! My name is Sara Schuessler and I am a therapist in St. Louis, Missouri, with over 14 years of clinical experience. I have my Master of Arts in Counseling from Missouri Baptist University, and my Bachelor or Arts in Psychology from Truman State University. I have experience in lots of different settings, including residential treatment, schools, in home, and now, telehealth. I've worked with all ages and often see clients wanting to work on decreasing anxiety, managing anger, navigating family conflict, experienced a traumatic event, or having lost a loved one.

I offer individual counseling, mindfulness training, EMDR, and life coaching through video chatting. Common focus areas include: personal growth and development, career issues, lifestyle issues, assertive communication, self-esteem, ADHD, anger management, persistent mental health problems, addictions, trauma, and disability. I enjoy positive psychology and prefer to focus on solutions, strengths, and assets. I feel it is important to view each person from their unique cultural experience with a nonjudgmental stance. I believe in the biopsychosocial model and understand health and functioning as being systemic in nature.

I offer a variety of treatment approaches. I utilize a person-centered, strengths based approach combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Do you have dreams but aren't actualizing them? Are you lacking motivation or the push you need to get across the finish line? I am skilled at helping my clients identify goals and providing them with support. Are you noticing a negative pattern in your relationships with others? Let me help you learn new communication strategies and a more effective way to resolve conflict. Have you found yourself changing in a way you don't like? I can help you develop healthy coping skills, identify changes that need to be made, become empowered, and motivated to live life to the fullest.
