Adults Therapists in Christian County, MO

Finding a space to feel comfortable and be heard is the most important aspect in therapy. My clients range from teens, young adults, and families trying to find peace in a time of chaos and confusion. Mental health is often taken for granted and it is important to learn how to effectively communicate and practice healthy habits to get the best out of your life.

I consider it an honor to partner with you, through the therapeutic relationship, on this journey toward healing. I understand that sharing your struggles with someone or asking for help can be difficult and overwhelming. My goal is to provide a safe and accepting place for you to share difficult experiences such as emotional and mental injuries.

Does anxiety, depression, or trauma feel so big that you can't see over the top of it right now? Are you feeling stressed-out, overwhelmed, or struggling to breakthrough the things that are holding you back from being your true authentic self? Are you not even sure that you know who you are anymore? In this fast paced world it's easy to feel left behind. You're not alone. Are you ready to begin a journey of self-discovery and healing? I am here and ready to walk beside you on your journey. I can help you reconnect with who you are or transform into who you'd like to be. Taking the first step is hard, but you're worth it.

I specialize in working with adults who have experienced several trauma events. Trauma is a deeply personal experience that can affect every aspect of your life. It is the loss of control over safety. It can be a single event or a series of experiences that leave you feeling overwhelmed and powerless. Trauma can cause intense feelings of fear, anxiety, and even physical pain. It can make you feel like you are reliving the event over and over again, and it can affect your ability to trust others or feel safe in your own body. Trauma can also cause you to question your own self-worth and make you feel like you are alone in your pain.

As your counselor, my goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental place for you to process feelings, thoughts, and experiences. I use a person-centered approach and walk alongside you as we work towards your therapeutic goals. I strive to help children (age 10 and above), adults, and couples develop the tools needed to gain confidence in one’s ability, maintain healthy relationships, and successfully cope with life’s changes and challenges.

You've arrived in your life, but something is still missing. You've gotten the good job, met that special someone, and maybe you've even started a family. By all accounts, life should feel great, but something is missing. You don't feel excited or passionate about life anymore. Things don't feel bad, but they don't feel truly good either. You feel stuck, complacent, like you're just going through the motions of life, every day exactly the same as the last.

As the Government is encouraging social distancing, I will continue to offer in-person as well as video conferencing.

Being a human is hard sometimes; especially if we were not taught the skills needed to successfully navigate through life. Many people have not been excused from experiencing life issues, and partnering in therapy can be a great way to explore life moments in a safe and confidential manner. I specialize in EMDR, a form of therapy that helps reduce emotional intensities brought about from unprocessed past experiences. I also utilize DBT, a skills-based form of therapy that teaches mindfulness, skills to help regulate emotions, relationship skills, and strategies to tolerate distressing situations.

I work best with clients who know what it's like to struggle - whether the struggle is emotional, physical, financial, or spiritual in nature. My clients typically want a place where they have the room and safety to work through hard topics without judgment on their character, but also someone who will challenge them and assist them in pushing themselves in their growth. They want these things because they truly desire growth in their lives, and they know they can't achieve it with a "yes man" as their therapeutic partner.

I love that my profession allows me to connect with a wide array of people. I work with individuals ranging from late adolescence to late adulthood. I also provide family sessions for my clients, as needed. Hearing people's experiences throughout my time as a counselor has shown me how resilient people can be, and it's truly inspiring. I enjoy working with motivated clients who are ready and willing to make changes and break out of unhealthy patterns.

Hello and welcome to this space...it is yours and I hope you'll make it your own. It’s no coincidence that you’re here, now is your time to heal, move forward and experience growth at your pace. It will be an honor to walk with you in the process. I I have been a therapy provider for 15 years and I have the experience, compassion and desire to help improve your situation. I have experience working with a diverse group of people and especially enjoy anxiety and trauma-focused work.

Maybe you are about to get married. Maybe you are in a relationship and haven't yet considered marriage. Maybe you've been married for 5, 13, even 35 years. Every relationship at some point experiences hardship and difficulty. It takes a lot of effort and energy to make a relationship succeed and stay close connected and intimate. Sometimes, it can be very difficult to find the energy, the will, or the motivation to truly give your heart to your partner. Whenever there is brokenness, my goal is to take those broken parts and bring them back together to make a whole relationship again.

I truly believe that all people want to and deserve to feel good and be happy. Much of our lives are spent trying to achieve these goals yet we continue to feel disappointed and like something is missing. I work with issues such as anxiety, depression, conflict in relationships, difficulty with emotions, trauma, shame, or even a general sense of hopelessness or discontentment in life. My hope in therapy is to come alongside you and make sense of what you are feeling and/or experiencing while working toward healing and wholeness in yourself and your relationships.

Hi, I absolutely love being a therapist and believe in assisting people find their pops of joy and enjoy the journey to becoming the best version of themselves. I look forward to chatting with you and embarking on an adventure together.

Sessions will involve working together to help gain insight into thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; and learn healthy coping skills. I believe in matching the pace of therapy to where the individual is and what changes they feel ready to conquer.

Are you struggling with difficult life challenges which result in feeling alone and misunderstood? Before my own personal counseling journey, I felt this way, too. As a counselor, it’s my primary goal to walk along side my clients so each one will not feel alone or misunderstood. I commit to safely processing emotional pain with the ultimate goal of helping clients discover their own best resolutions. I always want to place myself within the unique world of each client to provide unconditional understanding and support. I welcome anyone who is ready to share and process in a safe and comfortable place.

I have been a counselor for 12 years. At this point, I only counsel females age 14+. My career has focused on anxiety, depression, self-worth, personal growth and development, adjustment issues, relationship struggles, communication problems, premarital counseling, etc. I have a strong desire to help people walk through their struggles, no matter how deep-rooted or surface level they may be, to help them become their best self.

My ideal client is one who is aware that they need to do something different but aren't quite sure what the next step is. This could be a life transition from adolescence to adulthood, or a couple who struggles with communication. It could be more intense like a couple who is in the middle of despair or broken trust, or an individual or child who has experienced something traumatic that has changed their whole world. All these individuals are looking for ways to regain their life and become who they believe themselves to be.
