Marriage Counseling Therapists in 65203

I believe there is healing in being seen and feeling heard. You deserve space and time to know yourself and explore who you want to be. The small parts of you that are begging to have a voice yet are hard to voice are welcome in our sessions. I will sit with you in your heavy spaces and you will not be alone.

Do you find your relationship is in a rut? Are you unable to resolve conflict? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? The Marriage & Family Counseling Center can help! While all couples and relationships experience negative patterns at times, there are ways to end those cycles and find healing, reduce conflict and create a more fulfilling relationship.

I have learned that no one is immune to mental health stress, trauma, OR substance abuse. Most really can find recovery and wellness. In 2000, I began my career providing counseling services in a treatment center and have continued to specialize in coping methods vs. "using." Relationships are sacred. I work with all arrangements of families (CNM & polyamory). Expert family/couples counseling requires expert training. The Gottman Method is taught in three levels and I completed all three in 2017. My intensive couples approach is successful in improving communication and provides many tools and results in a reasonable time frame.

I will work with you as an individual/couple/family by assessing what is most important to you in achieving a positive outcome that you decide you would like to achieve. I have been in private practice since 1993 completing post graduate work at Menninger Foundation. I am a Certified Master Practitioner and Trainer of NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis, both which facilitate change as defined by the client with issues such as PTSD, stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, unwanted addictive behaviors as well as behaviors that just aren't working for you. I work with individuals and couples.

I am dedicated to helping people improve their lives, achieve more of a meaningful life, and realize their inherent potential and highest goals. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Missouri. I primarily work with young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, career issues, relationship and marriage problems, and other life challenges. I also work with a lot of business professionals working with balancing careers and businesses. I am an empathetic and compassionate counselor, that works to motivate clients to work on their improvement.

I can help you achieve healthier relationships, more confidence, self understanding, and peace of mind. I have helped adults, college students and couples with support, understanding and answers for over 20 years. I am best suited to help people struggling with relationship problems, depression, anxiety, and chronic unhappiness. I have a depth of "real-world" experiences. I offer a FREE PHONE CONSULTATION. This is a one-time call in which I will provide suggestions how to help you! Accepting all insurance plans, credit and debit cards. Call 573-424-2605 or visit http://www.jimhertelphd.com.

Your past doesn't define you; it informs you. Painful feelings and many of life's experiences can be difficult to work through alone. I work with individuals who want to examine their self-limiting thoughts, understand how to process/regulate their emotions and elevate their self-esteem, self-compassion and confidence. Others need someone who understands how to heal from relational abuse and parent wounds. Maybe it's relief from stress and anxiety that brought you here, or relationship distress. My intention is to support you with curiosity and compassion and help you heal the wounds that have kept you from knowing peace & thriving.

Life is full of many ups, downs, and in-betweens. It is challenging and even devastating. If you are in a place in your life that is difficult, counseling can be helpful. A key part of counseling is the therapeutic relationship established between client and therapist. I will give you a safe space where you can come as you are, without judgement, to feel seen and heard. I believe in slowing down and looking at the emotions we hold. Our emotions are important in guiding us in life with our belief systems.

Couples and Individual Therapy are my specialities. I am passionate about helping couples identify their negative patterns, express their unmet needs, and repair their relationship injuries; deepening the trust and bond they once shared as a couple. I also work with individuals to find the insights and tools they need to navigate life's challenges and transitions. I appreciate working with clients who come from a wide variety of socio-economic, racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities, not to mention ages, including students and seniors.

Maybe you've "been there, done that." Tried that program or seen that counselor or taken that medication. Nothing seems to be working. Once-per-week therapy doesn't seem like enough to get you over the hump, yet, spending 30 days away from home isn't an option, either. It's a good thing we believe there's no right way to do treatment for mental health issues including depression and anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, compulsive behaviors, disordered eating/eating disorders, the list goes on and on. Plus, the "problem" is never the actual problem, right?

I operate from a holistic and integrative approach; valuing each individual, their strengths and honoring their experiences. I believe you have innate behaviors and skills that you can draw upon to overcome challenges and move toward becoming a better you. I enjoy working with both individuals and couples, and can assist you in your journey to new beginnings. I primarily focus my work on helping clients navigate and work through depression, anxiety, trauma, intrapersonal and interpersonal issues.

Do you feel disconnected from your partner or spouse? Are you looking for ways to improve your communication, resolve perpetual conflicts or heal from deep wounds? Do you long for more peace and a sense of calm in your home? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I can help. I am passionate about helping couples, individuals and families find healing, restoration and hope. I strive to provide a safe, empathetic and non-judgmental environment where you feel validated and equipped to enact changes that help you develop the relationship, family or life that you want to have.

Are you confused by your emotions? Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety? Do you ever wonder why you feel so depressed? Do you wish you could connect to other people?

Counseling is a wonderful investment in yourself and your relationships, but finding the right counselor is tough. I provide a safe space for clients to pause, reflect, feel, and find their way... Struggling with anxiety, relationship conflict/divorce, loneliness, grief, major life changes, or lingering issues from past trauma? I bring a depth of experience and professional training in communication, de-escalating & healing relationships, and trauma. I will bring an open, caring, inquisitive, and deeply compassionate presence to our time together. I'm here to sit with you—sometimes to challenge you—but always to really listen.

Let me first say that the fact that you are searching online for help is a sign that there is a part of you that has had enough. I want to address that part of you because it holds the key to your wholeness. Whether you see the root of your difficulty as a primary relationship or some other unknown source, I want to aid you in engaging in the kind of self examination that will see you through your current pain to the new life that is surely waiting on the other side.

I help people pleasers - exhausted by the endless pursuit of perfection - find their version of good enough. I am the right counselor for you if you are doing everything you can to achieve, follow the rules, and do well...yet you do not feel good enough, seen, or valued. Are you ready to stop sacrificing your needs, thoughts, and feelings for the comfort of others?

I'm Shelby Myers, owner and counselor of Strong Heart Counseling. I have a warm, interactive, and direct approach to therapy. I work to create a safe and collaborative therapeutic environment in which my clients can heal and grow. I work with individuals, couples, families, and LGBTQIA+. I love to work with individuals, couples, and families who are searching for answers, have experienced trauma, are transitioning in life, or are experiencing relationship issues. I use a combined method approach to therapy, drawing on Internal Family Systems, the Gottman method, feminist and client focused therapy.

Hi, I'm Cheryl. In the counseling journey, I hope to come alongside you as you wrestle with the inherent difficulties and struggles associated with life. Damaged relationships, disappointments, insecurities, hurt, trauma, and anxieties... it all can be overwhelming and debilitating as times. But I believe healing is possible! I also bring my Christian faith to our work together for those desiring to include their Christian faith.
