Therapists in Missouri

Available Appt. Hours: Monday-Friday 11am-5pm. Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, feeling disconnected from others, or the way your life has been impacted by trauma? Are you searching for happiness or meaning in your relationships, your work, or in life in general? If any of this resonates with you, I may have the type of professional experience that would be helpful to you. I work with adults (18+) providing virtual therapy. I have additional experience with anger management, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ related issues, and low self-esteem. I am proud to provide gender-affirming care.

The ideal client is everyone as mental wellness is for everyone. Those who seek a radical approach to empowerment in strengthening their ability to develop boundaries, expectations, values, relationships, authenticity, attachment and healing will become closer to the goal of value based living and healing.

If you are motivated to grow as an individual or as a couple, face challenging realities, and develop a growth mentality, or if you need to recover from harm, work through grief, and move toward wholeness and wellbeing, this could be the right therapeutic fit for you. If you feel stuck, unsatisfied, anxious, or discouraged, we can work through your struggles. If your relationship is in jeopardy or you just want to take it to the next level of connection, this is the right place for you. Lastly, to recent graduates looking for supervision, I've enjoyed supervising many therapists over the years and would be happy to discuss fitting.

I am the owner of the Robert Jason Grant Ed.D AutPlay Therapy Clinic. I am the creator of AutPlay Therapy. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families dealing with a variety of mental health needs. Some of my specializations include addressing the needs of neurodivergent children, adolescents, and adults (autism, ADHD, trauma issues, and anxiety and depression struggles). I am neurodiversity affirming and informed and provide individual, family, and group therapy. I provide in-office and telehealth services. I also offer parent training, coaching services, and various trainings for professionals and caregivers.

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.

Today is a new day! Having someone to listen without judgment is a tremendous gift. It can remove the loneliness and despair that can happen when life gets to be too much to bear. Perhaps you've had therapy before but something's still missing. You've done everything you can think of or that your previous therapist told you. You are dedicated to your personal growth. You engage in regular practices and are committed to do whatever it takes to be your best self. Despite some real progress, the deeper relief you've been looking for hasn't occurred just yet.

Available remotely in: AL, AZ, AR, CT, DE, D.C., GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MN, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NC, OH, OK, PA, RI, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI. I was introduced to psychology while going through a difficult time as a young college student and seeking the help of a therapist. The experience taught me so much about myself and how to manage my emotions during difficult times that I decided to learn more about the field. One intro to psychology class turned into two more, and then just 12 short years later (with a few twists and turns along the way) I completed my PhD in counseling psychology!

As a therapist licensed in Missouri, Michigan, and Alaska with over a decade of experience, my mission is to create a safe space where you feel heard and understood. Guided by Christian principles, I integrate faith-based support with evidence-based therapies to help you navigate life's challenges. Together, we will explore your mental, emotional, and spiritual domains at your pace, uncover patterns, and develop strategies to foster healing and growth. Your mental and emotional health are my top priorities, and I look forward to supporting you on your journey to healing and insight.

I believe that all individuals will encounter a time in their lives when they will be facing some form of hardship, conflict, or distress. The ability for someone to recognize that they cannot go it alone and need a partner to assist them in navigating life situations is where I come into play. I believe that individuals can make the changes necessary in their lives with the proper supports and skills provided through counseling. Individuals who are ready to put in the work needed to navigate this life are the ones who will succeed.

In my ten years as a counselor, it's been my privilege to care for men, teens, and couples wrestling with depression, stress, and anxiety; addiction (drugs and alcohol; gambling; sexual...); the grief involved with divorce; the struggles associated with life's transitions; difficulties in school and relationships; and family conflict. My hope is that the men and women I talk to would be able to experience intimacy in their relationships, fullness of life, and find success in their daily lives.

We are not meant to live life alone, but rather deeply involved in relationships. Some of these relationships are highly successful, while others have come with great loss, significant struggle or just the every day difficulty of learning to live and enjoy life with another person. I believe in the value of working through personal problems in the context of building stronger relationships. I will help you work through this on a personal level or with whomever you are needing to have a restored relationship with.

The clients I serve are often at a crossroads in their life story and unsure of how to close one chapter and begin anew. Clients I enjoy working with recognize that counseling continues outside of the session in self reflection, exploring behavior change, and shifting how we think and relate to ourselves. I find that counseling helps meet goals and needs as diverse as the client, and sometimes goals arise throughout the course of the relationship. No one needs a "good reason" to come to counseling, for the desire to reach out and try will always be sufficient.

Hello! I am an intuitive therapist who holds safe space for individuals to gain insight, understanding, and healing into themselves and their life experiences. I support you in exploring and living an authentic, empowered, creative and meaningful life. Being seen, understood and accepted as we actually are in this present moment is essential. I am committed to being a compassionate witness and mirror in your transformative journey of healing and (re)discovery. If you’re looking for a philosophically and metaphysically informed psychotherapist, I am your person.

I come to the counseling room as a fellow traveller with a strong desire to create emotional and spiritual safety, regardless of what must be faced. Much of my experience has been focused on helping men find hope and a voice amid brokenness, loneliness, and relational trouble. I meet with individuals wrestling with anxiety, depression, past or present abuse, sexual confusion, sexual addiction, and spiritual and emotional health in general. Real relief and real growth are really possible!

I help teens, individuals, and families in the areas of depression, grief, anxiety, guilt and family systems. I primarily focus my work with minority populations including the LGBTQ+ community as well as cultural and ethnic minorities; however, I do not work exclusively with minorities, and any prospective client is welcome to inquire. In our work, I like going beyond being an informed and accepting therapist; it's important to me to embrace your uniqueness, respect your journey, and celebrate your success. My clients report that I challenge them and introduce new perspectives resulting in a greater sense of healing.

The heart and soul of how I help others is as a counselor who meets clients where they are in life, relationships, struggles, and so on - with the goal of gaining your trust and helping move you through discouraging and challenging circumstances, while sharing in God's reality for your life. I believe in the value of working through personal problems and issues in the context of stronger relationships. I will help you with this on a personal level, and in the process of restoring health and relationships with whomever you are intending to build this restored relationship with.

Currently Accepting New Clients. With several years of personal and professional experience working with recovery from pornography and problematic sexual behavior, I utilize a trauma-informed approach to treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, and process addictions. I hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Human Services from Evangel University, and received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Missouri State University.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship problems? If you are I can help. I offer convenient daytime, evening, and Saturday appointment times.
