Therapists in Missouri

My name is Felicia Typaldos and I am a provisionally licensed professional counselor here at Counseling Group of the Ozarks. In my free time I enjoy playing with my two cats, watching anime, reading books, and learning. I like learning so much that I graduated from Missouri State University twice. Once for my bachelors in psychology and once for my Masters in clinical mental health counseling. My path to being a counselor began with personal tragedy involving the sudden death of a loved one. I went to therapy and it was an immense help while I tried to hold myself together.

Taking the steps to find a therapist is a courageous leap in your journey. I take pride in helping clients process difficult emotions and create a secure sense of self. Your issue, need, or goal will be unique, but I strive to provide a safe space to assist you in this difficult process.

Hey! I’m Levi. I invite you to take a moment in your search to exhale with me. I appreciate you finding your way to me today. What’s more, I appreciate the world you exist in right now. No matter your stage of life, or which part(s) of your internal and external worlds you want to discuss – I will arrive in gentle kindness to strategize with you toward digestible approaches to life problems. You need not have “one big issue” that brings you to our space. In the words of my favorite band, Yo La Tengo: “Let’s be undecided, let’s take our time; and sooner or later, we will know our mind.”

Beginning with a new therapist can be anxiety provoking. It's difficult to know who the "right" therapist will be for you. My focus will be getting to know you and what your goals are for therapy. I enjoy teaching coping skills to manage anxiety and depressive symptoms. I also am a Certified Grief Counselor. I understand the grieving process and how to help support you through this transition. Grieving isn't only seen with death but also with loss of marriage, home, job, friendship, etc. My practice is located on a lake where we can practice mindfulness exercises and focus on calming energy.

I believe in a confidential, non-judgmental, relationship-centered counseling environment where individuals, families, and couples can openly and safely discuss their thoughts and feelings. Each client is treated with respect and supported to gain greater self-understanding and self-awareness. The client is at the center of therapy and determines the direction of therapy. I present different perspectives and ideas and help the client identify and develop their own ways to resolve blocks to personal growth and to improve communication and the relationships in their lives.

My hope is to be a first step in overcoming feelings of isolation and loneliness. If your world has been turned upside-down, either from the loss of a loved one or life's hardships, let's connect. Learning how to trust and practice new life skills are foundational in moving forward in relationships.

Hello! My specialties include: Substance Use/Addictions; Grief and Loss; Life Transitions as well as Anxiety and Depression. In addition, I have experience as a Spiritual and Christian counselor.

A client's expressed needs, issues and goals are vital to moving forward with the development of individualized treatment goals.

I provide a genuine and authentic space to validate your feelings, and help you figure out what your strengths are, allowing us to use that to your advantage.

If you find yourself in the midst of profound darkness, I would love to help you reclaim your life, however I see clients with a wide variety of troubles. I enjoy meeting with adults who find themselves deconstructing their trauma, family dynamics, spirituality, and/or grief. I also enjoy meeting with young adults through their late teens and twenties as they navigate many life transitions which require some extra guidance and compassion. Along with trauma care, I see clients struggling with depression, anxiety, abuse (sexual, physical, psychological/emotional, and spiritual), emotional turmoil, addiction, and mental illnesses.

I am licensed in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, and Tennessee. Grief is a normal and natural response to loss experienced through death, illness, caregiving, and trauma. It often results in the loss of security or hope. Grief may create emotional challenges and strain our ability to cope or adjust. If you are struggling with grief and loss, I can help you to navigate these difficult times and uncomfortable reactions and offer a path forward. For over 25 years I have been guiding those that are grieving and those affected by sudden and traumatic loss, such as accidents, suicide, or homicide.

I work with individuals who are navigating grief and loss, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions and identity development. In therapy, I balance addressing symptoms and looking beyond the surface to address the underlying emotions driving behavioral and interpersonal patterns. By learning new adaptive coping strategies and gaining insight into the early development of current emotional wounds or maladaptive behaviors, clients can feel empowered to create positive change.

As a woman living with a life long birth defect, Spina Bifida, I have personal experience and a unique perspective on how disability can impact anxiety issues. I work with women to let them know they are not alone in their stress and anxiety, regardless of their circumstances. I also understand how debilitating grief can be and helping others in an area where there seems to be too little support and attention, the loss of our animal companion/family members, has become a passion of mine. I believe that everyone has a story and my goal is to make every woman who comes to me feel heard, validated, safe, and respected.
