Hello and welcome! As a counselor, I look forward to being a non-judgmental, collaborative support on your journey. My approach is warm and compassionate, and my goal is to assist you with identifying and exploring your own inner strengths as well as your hopes for the future. In discovering where you want to go, we can work together to process underlying issues that may be keeping you stuck and to develop strategies for change. I believe that everyone deserves and has the ability to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life, and that includes you!

Everyday life isn’t supposed to feel quite this hard or overwhelming, right? Maybe you wish you could manage your emotions or stress better. Perhaps something awful or painful happened that has you wondering if you'll ever feel "normal" or well again. Hi, my name is Deborah and I have the honor of empowering people on their courageous journeys to find ease and joy in living again. Join me in a safe and affirming space to gain insight on the origins of your struggles and find lasting healing. I offer in-person sessions in my O'Fallon office, or online telehealth sessions.

Life can bring unexpected events resulting in a change in how you view the world. Rather you are experiencing, relationship stressors, hopelessness, anxiety, regret, resentment, feeling stuck or grief. I am passionate to collaborate with you to achieve family and individual success.

How are you doing today? Life has started to become pretty overwhelming these days. It feels like we are always running from one thing to the next, maybe even feeling tense or restless but unsure why. We struggle to manage our emotions, or even know who we truly are or what we are wanting out of this life. I can help you navigate and learn from your experience.

Looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to share your story? Be understood? Gain insight into your relationships and coping patterns, so that you can begin to thrive and not just survive? I've got you! I believe counseling is a partnership in which we work together in developing and implementing a plan to reach your goals. Each person is unique and different, and I adjust according to each person's needs. I believe that authenticity and empathy are the two most important things for a counselor to possess. In addition, I am always learning new techniques and tools to help my client's grow.

Sometimes in life there are events that happen that make absolutely no sense. Sometimes those events have a lasting impact on our relationships, parenting, careers, identity and emotional health. As a certified trauma therapist, I believe it is my privilege to work through these emotions with my clients to provide hope and work together toward healing. I am LGBTQ friendly and believe in treating all my clients with respect, dignity, compassion and understanding in a safe and supportive atmosphere. I am now providing virtual therapy to allow clients to continue working toward healing in the midst of the current pandemic.

Feelings are messengers, and they often don't follow the rules of logic. However, emotions still carry important information about what we need, what we want, and what is (and isn’t) working. I will help guide you to listen to your emotions and experiences in a way that finally makes sense. It is my aim to provide insight so you are able to move from the long-held belief of, “What is wrong with me?” to “What is my pain trying to tell me?” We will work together to decode the confusion of emotions and access the inner strengths you already possess. I will guide you on your journey back to Yourself. You are worthy of that.

Samantha Graham-Douglas, LPC and Life Restoration Center have been a part of the community since 2011. We have a mission of providing comfort, safety, and respect to those coming from hopeless situations - including trauma, sexual abuse, substance abuse, sexual addictions, criminal activity, delinquency, behavioral issues, parenting issues, and marital problems. Samantha and other team members have been trained in several trauma theories such as TF-CBT and EMDR and have experience working with substance abuse, addictions, mental health, family systems and focus on the whole family- children, adolescents, adults and families.

I specialize in working with young children and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and other challenges. My focus also includes counseling with prenatal/postpartum clients working through the challenges of becoming a new mother, including anxiety and depression. I am passionate about working with mothers who may be experiencing burnout or other challenges that come with the demands of motherhood. This includes helping to empower women to reach their fullest potential.

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.

I really enjoy working with adults facing anxiety, depression and life transitions; as well as couples aiming to strengthen or repair their relationships.
