Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Missouri

I think "moving on” from life's challenges isn’t easy; it doesn’t matter what actually happened/happening... getting over whatever is going on in your life is just hard. I think “moving on” actually means you have to move “through” & I provide a safe space for that to happen. I’m an experienced therapist who believes some topics deserve a deep dive & others are better tackled with solution-focused coaching. Over the years, I’ve helped people cope, heal, recover & basically “move on” from the hard stuff.

I offer a wide range of therapy services, tailored to meet your individual needs. My goal is to help you develop the skills and tools necessary to navigate life's challenges and live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Hello! I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist committed to supporting your journey to emotional well-being and personal growth. I have had the privilege of guiding individuals through various challenges for 20+ years, helping each of them discover inner strength and resilience. Specializations include anxiety, stress, anger management, ADHD, improving relationships, communication, navigating life transitions, and parenting challenges. I have considerable experience supporting LGBTQIA individuals, helping to navigate the challenges they may encounter with family, friends, or community.

Hello my name is Lana Jamison and I am a licensed therapist serving KS and MO. I understand that life can be challenging. We are pulled in many directions and often give so much of ourselves to other people and the activities in our lives. It can feel overwhelming trying to balance it all! I work with individuals who regularly share concerns of exhaustion, worry, anger, stress, communication difficulties, resentment, and sadness.

For clients who need to grow from their struggles, heal from pain, and move forward to where they want to be in life. I enjoy working with teens, children and families. Let me come alongside you and help determine the best course of action to resolve your anxiety, depression, communication or relationship problems. With more than ten years of clinical experience I am well versed in a range of diagnosis and treatments and strive to create a welcoming, productive and non-judgmental environment for you to heal in.

No matter what has brought you to this place, change is possible. You may feel exhausted on the hamster wheel of anxiety or stuck in a pit of depression. You may be grieving a life that you used to know and struggling to find your new footing. You may just feel stagnant and in need of a fresh perspective. If therapy is the next right thing for you, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in uncovering the path forward as you discover more “next right things.”

At my practice, we treat a wide variety of patients. For some, it is his or her first time at therapy and there may be some trepidation about starting the process. For others, we have been one of many therapists in his or her life. Each patient brings a unique and fascinating set of thoughts, feelings and behaviors all of which require a specific method of treatment. It is wonderful work! We hope that everyone can have the chance to explore psychotherapy in his or her life, be it for a single session or many more.

As adults, we can carry many layers of stress. Stress that can take a toll on our mental and physical wellbeing, creating tension in our personal and professional experiences, and negatively impacting our quality of life. Often, when we are in this place of limited resiliency, we can find that anxiety and/or depression can take advantage and settle in. Or we find that our relationships or parenting can seem more challenging, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or lost. If this is your experience, you're not alone. Together we can move through the stressors, build skills and resiliency; to find a path to peace and hope.

Confidential talk without judgement. Hi, I’m Shakea “Kea” Roper. I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Do you need someone to talk to that will be understanding, compassionate, and encouraging? If so, you have reached the right therapist. I’m a single mother from the inner city. I’ve been through many struggles. From parenting, to family, to work, and just life. I’ve learned you can always work on yourself to help break cycles/patterns that once held you back. I value honesty and keeping it real. When there is free time, I like to sleep, spend time with family, board games, and of course diamond painting/other crafts.

You shouldn't go through this journey alone and I am so glad you have taken the first step to making a change. Striving to be the best and healthiest version of yourself is NOT easy! I would love to hear everything about your unique self, free of judgment, where you can feel safe, accepted and authentically you. Armed with the appropriate knowledge and tools, I believe we can tackle life's many challenges and obstacles together.

Are you working really hard at life without the outcomes you want? It can feel exhausting. Without the ability to effectively manage and cope with life's demands, a person's world can become a place filled with missed opportunities and experiences; a place of unrelenting anxiety, suffering and feelings of isolation. Change is hard and change is possibIe. It's about learning skills to do differently to live differently in a manner of your choosing. I'm a therapist who uses behavior-focused, outcome-driven treatments to address the symptoms of ADHD, OCD, PTSD, anorexia, abuse, anxiety and depression to increase quality in your life.

I believe we all have the power within ourselves to heal. However, sometimes we get so caught up in the struggle, we lose track of our strengths. Therapy can help you recognize patterns that aren't working for you and reconnect to those strengths, leading to awareness and self-acceptance. I will guide you along that journey, encouraging you to be who you truly are in an empathetic and supportive environment. My office is a judgement-free zone, where you can express yourself honestly in a compassionate setting.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and Kansas. I describe myself as empathetic, warm, and calm and I enjoy developing a connection and a collaborative relationship with clients to help them understand the impact of anxiety, stress, and depression while also helping them learn and develop skills to manage their emotions and develop effective problem-solving skills that reinforce personal growth and improve overall mental and physical health.

I work with adults through many stressors, and I specalize in caring for parents. I'm here to make time for your well-being and help support you through this tough, wonderful, never-ending job. Maybe you're having anxious thoughts or feeling down. Maybe something big is changing. For most parents, we get used to taking care of ourselves last, if at all. Therapy is a time for you. Transitioning to parenthood brings up a world of emotions from joy and excitement to grief and anxiety. And it doesn't end with postpartum. Life gets messy sometimes. I'm dedicated to providing support to you, the caregivers doing the work every day.

The plan we have for our lives doesn't always align with how it is playing out. Life transitions, choices, circumstances outside of our control shape our lives and before we know it, we are on a different route completely. Enter depression, anxiety, stress, ruminating thoughts, poor self image, fear of failing, the list goes on. Therapy is a supportive environment to sort it out and identify steps to move forward with the life you want.

Stuck? People-Pleasing? Burnt out by life? Almost like no matter what you try to change or improve, those wheels just keep spinning, and you are exhausted. My ideal client is someone who is just ready to feel better. You may not exactly know what is going on or why these feelings are coming up all of a sudden. That's okay! You deserve someone who will collaborate with you no matter what you are dealing with. I believe connection and authenticity is the most vital part of the therapy process. Therapy is not just for fears and tears, but laughter and smiles too :) Let's tackle this together! (I hope you enjoy analogies!)

Join me as we navigate the best path for you together, returning to hope.
