Therapists in Owensville, MO

Do you have struggles in relationships or have a trauma history that is still impacting you? I can help you to break out of unhealthy patterns and cope and integrate negative experiences in positive ways. I can help clients to have healthier relationships, a stronger sense of self, better ways to cope with and manage symptoms, and to resolve unprocessed trauma. Achieving these goals means experiencing a higher quality of life. My ideal client is also able to be open minded in exploring their emotions in psychosomatic ways through interventions like brain spotting.

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.

Accepting New Patients! You're a mother who has tried therapy. You felt heard and supported but you don't feel different, and motherhood has made everything more intense! You understand your past more and maybe even feel like the expert on yourself. When the past comes up you cry, tense up, get defensive, yell, people please, isolate yourself, feel guarded, helpless, or even voiceless. You're scared it impacts you as a mom, partner/spouse, friend, and woman. You feel anxious, unheard, unsatisfied, unsafe, or unloved. Sometimes you think, "I suck!" You desperately want to release what swirls around your head and body but feel stuck.

My name is Rebecca Ehrke and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Certified EMDR therapist and practice owner of Lifestream Integrative Healing Center. I chose the name, "Lifestream", from the concept of the "stream of life" that Peter Levine refers to in Somatic Experiencing. When someone experiences a traumatic event, it can disrupt the flow of their life path. Lifestream Integrative Healing Center offers holistic trauma treatment that helps individuals heal and return to the lives they were innately meant to have.

The clients I serve are often at a crossroads in their life story and unsure of how to close one chapter and begin anew. Clients I enjoy working with recognize that counseling continues outside of the session in self reflection, exploring behavior change, and shifting how we think and relate to ourselves. I find that counseling helps meet goals and needs as diverse as the client, and sometimes goals arise throughout the course of the relationship. No one needs a "good reason" to come to counseling, for the desire to reach out and try will always be sufficient.

Many of us get to a point in life where we realize that we cannot keep doing what we've always done. We are tired, discouraged, and unsure of how things could ever change. Maybe you've been fighting addictive behavior, or perhaps you are feeling weighed down by relentless depression/anxiety? Maybe you and your spouse are constantly arguing and wonder if things could ever get back to the way they used to be? You have tried and hoped for things to be different, but they just aren't...

Alicia Buck - Hall is passionate about providing informed and practical guidance / recommendations for improving social-emotional outcomes for all experiencing behavioral health challenges. Functioning from a culturally relevant lens, the goal is to reduce the stigmas surrounding mental health that will lead to a more informed and relevant practice of addressing problematic concerns from a clinically informed perspective. Focus is placed on attending to social emotional needs while learning to build healthy supportive relationships, encouraging early intervention, being able to adapt, self-regulate, and develop resilience.

You love and cherish your child or teenager. And, you work hard to provide for their physical/emotional well-being because happy, healthy kids promote joyful families. But sometimes despite your best efforts, your child continues to struggle with behavioral problems, peer relationships, family changes, deficits in social/emotional development, aftermath of traumatic experiences, or mental health challenges. Many parents like you are tasked to find the necessary help and resources that their children require. My training and experience in issues related to trauma, mental health, and attachment position me well to serve the needs of your family.

I am passionate about coming alongside clients as they seek to find comfort, peace, and healing in the midst of the many difficulties that life can bring. From the moment you walk in my office, my goal is to provide you with a place where you feel safe to work through issues at your own pace, while experiencing both comfort and understanding. Since I work with many clients experiencing trauma and cPTSD, consent and safety are of the utmost importance to me. I strive to create an environment where clients can feel seen and heard without experiencing shame.

I believe almost all problems are solvable. If you decide to see me for therapy, the first thing I'll probably ask is, "What's going on? Why have you come?" Perhaps you're having difficulty with a relationship or your struggling with a child or your weight. You may be trying to decide if you want to continue in a relationship or look for another job. Or you've noticed that you're drinking too much or getting too angry or obsessing. Maybe you're feeling anxious, depressed or lonely, and despite your best efforts, you can't seem to shake these feelings.

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.
