Therapists in Foristell, MO

Are you tired of answering the question "What's wrong?" One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't speak. Together, we can find your voice and explore whatever brings you to counseling in a collaborative, safe and supportive setting. Mental health is just as critical as your physical health and you don't need to suffer in silence. You deserve an emotional check-up.

I am informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a basis for emotional processing and behavior change. I am deeply committed to respecting each person's individual experience and work to identify tools and interventions that fit the needs of each person. I believe in an integrative health model exploring the mind, body and environment. I believe that exploring the use of mindfulness techniques can have powerful positive effects with individuals who are open. My aim is to support individuals into awareness of their personal strengths and to encourage growth and healing from within, despite the external circumstances.

I currently have a waitlist for new clients. I specialize in working with individuals (of all ages) who are neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD, OCD, gifted, etc.) and I often work with children and teens who are in foster care or are adopted. I offer individual and family/couple sessions, play therapy, and I often integrate technology, including video and computer games, iPads, and virtual reality (VR), into sessions.

Our past experiences and relationships shape how we see the world around us and how we cope with issues and struggles we encounter in our lives. If you are frustrated with feeling out of control, therapy can increase your self-awareness, social connectedness and coping skills. Understanding the "why" of your behaviors and emotions and increasing healthy coping skills can change your life. If you are ready to take the next step in understanding your "why" and "how to move forward", please reach out.

We are a diverse group of licensed professionals. We are compassionate, knowledgable and honored to work with individuals, couples, and families. We support our clients to discover their own personal grace and agility, their ability to express themselves with integrity and conviction and most importantly to restore their faith in themselves and in their relationships.

Allow me to help you transition from uncertainty to hope, healing and personal growth. I have over 20 years of experience working with people in a safe, caring, supportive environment. My position is to help you find solutions in managing and coping with life changes.

Starting the search for a therapist is an act of bravery. As if life isn't tricky enough on its own, then we throw in anxiety, depression or trauma and it can feel even heavier. Self esteem struggles? Not sure what path to take? Feel like you just can't handle what life keeps throwing at you? I'm here for all of it. Are you a parent that needs strategies to help your child? I'm here to support you as well.

Life can bring feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, or even self-doubt. You want the feelings you're experiencing to pass. You wait, and wait, but they're still there. It's exhausting and you've grown tired of balancing daily life with these struggles. Not anymore. It's time for a change.

As a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with years of training in various settings and theoretical approaches, I help individuals overcome the stories they tell themselves that hold them back from reaching their goals. Whether it's the fear of being judged or the fear of change, these fallacies can limit our ability to take action in our lives. It's okay to feel scared or unsure about taking the first step towards self-exploration, but it's important to remember that change is possible. I offer actionable steps to create positive and proactive improvements in your life.

Are you an over-stressed college student? A twenty-something trying to figure out your life path? Dealing with depression and anxiety? Reaching out for help is a brave act. I am here to help. I specialize in working with millennial and gen z specific issues but I welcome all 18 and up on the therapeutic journey with me. I am also passionate about helping people process through past trauma to reclaim their lives. I tailor my approach based upon client needs and utilize EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and more. I accept several insurances.

I help adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, family issues and trauma regain balance and hope in their lives through the use of verbal and creative expression.

Life is short. My goal is to help people find purpose and to overcome some of life's bumps. I work with people of all ages in individual, group, family and with couples who are experiencing feelings/emotions that are getting in the way of living a happy, fulfilled life. Lets face it, sometimes we just need someone to listen and help us learn skills that will get us back on track and feeling better. I work with people that are struggling with anxiety, depression, life events/traumas, bipolar disorder, teen/child issues, couples counseling, finding purpose and many others.

Samantha Graham-Douglas, LPC and Life Restoration Center have been a part of the community since 2011. We have a mission of providing comfort, safety, and respect to those coming from hopeless situations - including trauma, sexual abuse, substance abuse, sexual addictions, criminal activity, delinquency, behavioral issues, parenting issues, and marital problems. Samantha and other team members have been trained in several trauma theories such as TF-CBT and EMDR and have experience working with substance abuse, addictions, mental health, family systems and focus on the whole family- children, adolescents, adults and families.

Welcome! Do you feel misunderstood and undervalued? Are you looking for more meaningful connection? Anxiety, pain and relationship stress can show up in our bodies, our work ethic, our social interactions, sleep habits and so much more. What happens to us early in life influences our ability to cope with the stress and setbacks that life can throw at us. Whether it's a chronic health issue, recent or past trauma, grief, or an ongoing stressor, you don't have to experience it alone. I have an integrative and person-centered approach that uses the therapeutic relationship to build your sense of agency to get yourself unstuck.

I went into the field of psychology because I love helping people transform to the best version of themselves. We all need a safe place to understand ourselves and how we relate to others/self. I often say "We need to be Mindful of our Total-Well Being and that our minds and our bodies are an inter-connected systems. Where the mind goes, so does the man or woman in their actions and body states. We go to the physician for our physical health, so how much healthier would we be if we went to our psychologist for our mental health?" At heart, I am a holistic practitioner and love seeing my clients Thrive.

I am licensed in Missouri with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Hi there, I am here to help you. I work with individuals, couples, and families with struggles ranging from current life issues, relationship struggles, and issues that have been a lifelong battle. Clients often come to me because they have hit the lowest point and have never felt more alone, even after trying therapy countless times before. Many clients have left counseling finding resolution and a drive to live their life to the fullest. My clients have expressed finding healing, feeling equipped to manage life, and having healthier relationships and connections with others that they previously thought weren't possible.

People start to heal the moment they feel heard, and everyone has a story to tell. As your (or your teen's) therapist, I'll support you as you heal from your past and present, gain personal insight, release what no longer serves you, grow in your relationships, forgive yourself or others, embrace your authenticity, explore your purpose, claim your power, find your harmony and thrive. I will meet you where you are, provide a safe space for your unique story, and walk the journey with you. I'm passionate about helping teens and adults become more authentic, grounded versions of themselves.
