Therapists in Saint Charles, MO

My name is Michelle Maguire, I am a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri and Kansas. I believe trust, compassion and respect are essential for effective treatment. I will create a safe and non-judgmental space for healing and change. I studied at Kansas State University for my undergraduate degree in social work. I obtained my graduate degree in social work from the University of Missouri. I have been a practicing therapist since 2003. My clinical experience spans clients of all ages and backgrounds.

I believe people are more than their diagnosis. Yes, a diagnosis is a tool but it is not the big picture. I come from a place of curiosity and wonder, wanting to know my clients on a deeper level so that I can help them navigate this world. For example, PTSD is a big diagnosis that is thrown around; yet, it doesn't paint the full picture. It doesn't reflect someone's experiences, triggers, how this is impacting their relationships, family history, the strengths they possess etc. Adolescents are my passion however, I also enjoy and work closely with families and adults.

Are you a mom, couple, college student or professional that is struggling to make sense of your life? Do you need help setting boundaries and making yourself a priority in your own story? When you are struggling, therapy can help you find a way forward. Life can be challenging but it doesn't have to be overwhelming! My passion is working with individuals and couples going through transitions in life. Relationships are such an integral part of life's journey; if you're experiencing difficulty in yours we might be a good fit. Now offering therapy intensives- ask about how you can feel better sooner!

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Registered Play Therapist (RPT). I have experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults.

I specialize in couples, working with those experiencing conflict, conflict-avoidance, infidelity/trust issues, communication problems, parenting/co-parenting struggles, and or when one or both partners experience depression, anxiety, or trauma. Relationships are the most important things in our lives, and when we get disconnected, everything in life can feel so much harder. I also see individuals who are struggling with self-worth issues, excessive worry, past history of trauma. Therapy can do a world of good, especially when life has been painful. I am dedicated to the therapy process, and help clients find hope and relief.

I am passionate about providing services to those who want to take that step forward to begin their journey to healing. I support clients to reach their individual goals by helping identify thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that keep them in a never-ending cycle. I enjoy providing my clients with the space to feel comfortable and open while guiding them to set realistic goals that lead them on a healthier path.

“Running away from a problem only increases the distance from the solution.” Therapy is personal and unique and I believe your therapeutic journey should lead you to self-empowerment and positive changes in your life. My intent is to support you in discovering what stops you from living the life you have always hoped for. My approach is depth-orientated and includes a blend of traditional therapy and creative ways of optimizing a healthier new sense of Self. I value the importance of creating a safe space that allows for a sense of peace, trust and comfort.

Life Connect Counseling Services provides a safe, comfortable and confidential place to work through some of life's biggest challenges. With over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families, I understand how hard it is to ask for help and the risk of sharing your deepest struggles and hurts with another person.

Hello! My name is Jenn. I am happy you found me! I work with individuals with a wide variety of mental health and life stress concerns. I strive to help individuals manage their depression and anxiety through coping skills and challenging your inner critic. My passion lies with helping soon-to-be, new and seasoned parents manage the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with parenting. Working with me will help you to challenge those inner thoughts and incorporate mindfulness skills to identify what you’re feeling and how to process those feelings without judgment.

There are so many life experiences, transitions and "bumps" in the road that can oftentimes feel overwhelming, uncertain or impossible. Whether we have awareness of the problem, or notice that our behaviors are masking problems (fighting in relationships, unhealthy coping behaviors, etc.), we can explore these in session and determine how to overcome these challenges.

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.

Are you a new parent? Or did you recently have a life transition such as new city, new job, new relationship? Do you struggle with managing your mood or anxiety during this life transition? Are you ready for a change in your day-to-day life? By partnering with me, as your therapist, we will focus on learning how to engage in healthy coping strategies during this vulnerable time, how to manage our mood throughout our new circumstances, and build healthy relationships with our support system. Through a strength-based approach, I will empower you to navigate these changes and have improved satisfaction in the circumstances of life.

My clients come from all facets of life. Although every individual walk is unique, we share one commonality. That being that we are all human. Every individual's needs vary. Some common shared goals include but are not limited to needs for growth, healing, confidence, and understanding. I see clients who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, career changes, relational concerns, trauma & ptsd, every day stress and more. I have worked with children in many settings as well as teens and adults who want to cope and enjoy daily living with a healthy mind.

This isn’t what you expected. You were told parenthood would be a “magical journey” but right now it feels like anything but. Maybe you’re feeling hopeless on your journey through infertility, drowning in grief following a loss, dealing with prenatal anxiety and depression, struggling to cope with experiencing birth trauma, or trying to survive that first year postpartum (because whoever said everything will be hunky dory at 6 weeks was clearly misinformed). I get it and you are not alone.

Dr. Gwenda Plummer helps individuals, couples, and families develop healthy relationships, identify and change problem behaviors, overcome challenges, find healing from past pain, and discover tools for an overcoming and enriched life. After the initial intake, each session is designed to achieve the client's goals in a safe and welcoming atmosphere. Change and a fulfilled life are possible! Schedule with Gwenda today to begin your journey toward the healthy life you desire!

I enjoy working with children of all ages, adults, and families in an effort to help others identify and build on current strengths and promote positive change where desired. My experience, training, and years of ongoing supervision enables me to offer you effective, quality, individualized care.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private counseling practice specializing in infertility, pregnancy/birth, postpartum, attachment and parenting challenges. I combine my life experiences and formal trainings to provide my clients with a unique blend of acceptance, knowledge and compassion which I believe to be vital for healing and leaping into the unknown spaces of living life abundantly. Feel free to call or email me anytime with questions or to learn more about how we can work together.
