Therapists in Hazelwood, MO

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.

Our patients are individuals, couples or groups who have been struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorder and other behavioral challenges that have made ordinary day to day functioning impossible or extremely difficult. Through evidence-based clinical mental health therapy that includes EMDR, CBT, DBT, and SFBT, we assess, and diagnose individuals, couples and groups providing evidenced-based treatment plans.

Society Today is faced with multiple Life stressors ranging from Financial, Marital, Relational, issues with employment and or Life In General. Through Therapy, an Individualized Improvement Plan can be devised and implemented to assist individuals with coping and possibly overcoming the issues they are facing. Adolescents and Teens are complicated, and I am eager to assist. Teen groups are available as well as individualized treatment. Two people working together are always better than one. As a therapist I have learned the more input a client contributes to their therapeutic goals the better the outcomes and success possibility.

I have been in private practice for over 35 years. I meet the client where they are at and more importantly assist them in where they want to be. I strive to help in the most professional and respectful way and value each and every opportunity to be in the lives of those who want to live the life they want. I believe there is nothing wrong with the individual but they are often striving for balance and harmony in their lives. All my clients want the same thing-Love and acceptance.

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.

Are you depressed, anxious with panic attacks, self-harming, angry, and/or distressed from past or current abuse/trauma? Are you grieving a major loss or sometimes you may feel like you do not want to be here. You may have family/relationship issues, parent-child conflict or single-parenting. Or you may have "church-hurt" or other hurtful situations. Well, there is hope. As a Trauma-Informed therapist I know that your path can get heavy. But you are still unique and can still Awaken to Every Opportunity For You and become a better version of yourself. You do count, you matter and there are new Awakenings everyday!

Struggling with stress, sadness or hopelessness even grief? Feeling like your best isn't good enough, tired and beat down? You are not alone, I am here to help. As a therapist, you'll find I'm empathetic, non-judgmental and provide a safe place where adults can lay their heart and soul. As a client you will experience the butterfly effect. Which involves you acknowledging what needs to change, accepting you're a part of the change and taking ownership of your power to change. Together we will navigate through the difficult times creating balance and defining your purpose.

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.

Using a variety of counseling approaches in a judgment free atmosphere provides for the best possible outcomes from therapy.

I am committed to assisting those in relationships and situationships navigating the complexities and challenges aiming for healthier and stronger bonds. Ideal clients, whether in a situationship or dating, cohabitating, or married that acknowledge the intricacies therein –as they seek guidance with the goal of building a healthier connection.

With over 20 years of professional experience I know that no single approach is the right one for every client, so I have been trained in a wide range of modalities that address and treat multiple needs. My focus and passion is helping my clients address life challenges. I carefully meet each individual where they are and explore the best approach on their wellness journey. I empower self-growth, promote self-actualization, strengthen relationships, and reduce emotional suffering in a safe, supportive environment.

Hi! I'm Ann. I enjoy working with people who are open-minded, inquisitive and who like to challenge norms. Part of the therapeutic process is about confronting the parts of ourselves that we tend to hide and feel a bit less comfortable with. I'd like to help you get to know your whole self and walk beside you as you question some of the beliefs you've held, which may be in conflict with who you are now. Like you, I've been there and asked myself. "What do I want?" "Who am I?" and "What feels motivating and pleasurable in my life?" It's tough to feel ‘stuck’ and also, it's the start of something brand new.
