Therapists in Marthasville, MO

As an Art Therapist (ATR), I support the mental health needs of my clients through a balance of traditional therapeutic techniques (such as Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, Internal Family Systems, and Person-Centered therapies) and the creative, collaborative, and intuitive approach of Art Therapy. I work with clients from childhood through adulthood. Some people may be surprised to hear that you can do Art Therapy via telehealth, but I've found that being able to engage in therapy from the comfort and safety of your own home can be as healing (if not more) than being in person.

Some of us have been taught to fear or push away certain emotions and parts of who we really are. We’ve been taught to disregard what our body and feelings are telling us in order to make others comfortable. While this might seem like the path to approval, it often leads to shame and disconnection. A way to combat these messages are to move towards authenticity and acceptance of all our parts. To learn to advocate for ourselves, heal from our wounds, and stand firm in who we are. I would be honored to work alongside you in the journey.

Are you just f-ing tired? A car accident left you emotionally paralyzed. An assault shook up your life. A recent medical diagnosis or crisis has you questioning what's next. All the "why" questions are flying through your head and the constant noise is driving you nuts. You want things to make sense. You want to feel like yourself again. Most of all, you want to go back in time to the thing that changed your body and do everything in your power to prevent in from happening. The problem is, no one prepared you for this and no one really understands how to help.

I specialize in helping freethinking women, sexual and gender minorities, and nontraditional couples who have already overcome so much, but find that something keeps holding them back. I help people decidedly outside the mainstream, who aren't looking for a professional to fit them back into conformity. I work best with individuals and couples who already have some practice with self-reflection but you now need a fresh perspective and stronger support. I enjoy helping diverse people, in terms of relationship style, abilities, brain type, or cultural identities. I also specialize in recovery from cults or narcissistic abuse.

Feeling fractured from your once-strong sense of self can be confusing, isolating, and painful. Oftentimes these feelings can arise from societal pressures to conform, living in a sex-negative society, or relationship and systemic trauma. Sex & relationship therapy can be a good fit for improving the relational quality of your life and accessing desire as a tool for living well. I specialize in supporting individuals and relationships (of all styles) who struggle to access authenticity and wholeness in their daily lives. I work best with engaged clients who practice active self reflection.

Welcome! I am so excited you are here and would feel honored to work with you. I am a Licensed Master of Social Work and am currently undertaking clinical supervision with Kelly Caul, MSW, LCSW to becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide therapeutic services to adolescents, 13 years and older, and adults of all ages. I enjoy working with individuals across diverse backgrounds and identities with a specific joy to work with LGBTQIA+ identifying individuals. I focus in supporting individuals navigating struggles such as anxiety, dissociation, complex relational trauma, grief, abuse, substance use & life transitions.

Sexuality should be celebrated! Society often makes it difficult for people to express themselves in this way, and therefore I try to offer a space for clients to freely explore all aspects of their sexuality without judgement. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to develop sexual communication skills, process shame associated with sexuality, and learn how to practice safer (more pleasurable) sex. I have experience with many types of clients, including LGBTQ+ people, femme-people, sex workers, and people discovering themselves later in life.

My role is to help support you to lead happier, healthier life. Sometimes this means lessening your symptoms of anxiety or depression, or maybe it's working towards a specific goal like changing jobs or making friends. It can also look like wanting to find your true, authentic self, which can be exploring gender, sexuality, life after loss, or even just trying to figure out who you are!

My approach to therapy is genuine and compassionate. My intention during our time together is to make you feel supported and to help you feel more connected with yourself, and guide you, without judgement, through whatever self-discovery journey you may be on. I believe in creating a space where you feel free to come as you are and feel supported...

When we are suffering in this world, there are usually patterns of suffering that have hold of us. If we confront the patterns, they can teach us. I know it takes courage to walk through the door of a therapist's office. Let me give space to face the hard stuff.

I know reaching out for help can be daunting and overwhelming. I am here to make this process easier for you. I have worked with individuals and families from differing backgrounds, experiences, and concerns. My counseling style is strength-based, meaning I like to focus on the many positive traits you already possess and work collaboratively to reach the goals you would like to achieve. We are all searching for acceptance and understanding. I am here to help. I have extensive experience working with individuals that have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, phobias, LGBTQIA+ related concerns, and non-monogamous relationships.

Whatever it is that has brought you here is important to me—life changes and transitions, grief and loss, trauma and growth, anxiety and depression, or ADHD symptoms—your life is important to me. I can work with you to create a personalized wellness plan. You deserve to see your inner greatness. Your growth is inspiring to me. You deserve to cultivate your inner calm.

I have a passion for helping people who struggle with anxiety and self-doubt, who have a true desire for change and know they are meant for more than living in fear. Uplift your mood, calm your mind and heal past trauma and emotional wounds that are keeping you stuck. You CAN live life without constant anxiety. The peace and joy you long for IS possible. Whether you are experiencing a major life transition, dealing with a past trauma, struggling with constant self-doubt and insecurity or just overwhelmed with life, I can help.

I am of the millennial generation, an artist, a musician, a plant medicine advocate, foodie, animal lover, book worm, and pre-amateur comedian. My holistic counseling practice is designed to promote healing, growth, and harmony. I offer practical, sustainable tools and perspectives for anyone wanting to feel more satisfied with their life! My process often includes getting in touch with and observing your spirit together, then using it as a guide in helping you make positive, wanted change so that you feel more at peace in your mind and at home in your body. My goal is pretty simple- to help clients reach their goals!

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.

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.

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients feel safe, validated, and supported as we work together to identify challenges and create personalized goals that will lead you to ultimately heal and feel whole again. I understand change can feel overwhelming and I will allow you to move at a pace you are comfortable with.

Therapy can provide the freedom for one to explore more about themselves and to create space for change. Some may struggle with believing things could ever be different and start to wonder if they can find their way out. My passion is to provide a safe place for connection, support, and empowerment to facilitate growth for my clients. Through the use of the Internal Family systems (IFS) Model, I invite compassion and curiosity to reestablish your inner confidence while unburdening from the past.

You are worthy of feeling fully alive. The dimensionality and uniqueness of your human experience are worthy of exploration. You are constantly changing and unfolding. In every transition, life invites you to explore more of who you are and what you need and want. This is a great opportunity to seek support. Together we will explore your inner and outer world allowing the wisdom from within to guide you. You have the Keys within you and my intention is to help you discover them.
