Child Therapists in Hazelwood, MO

I can work with kids and their families who are going through different life difficulties. I have experience working with kids who struggle with self-esteem, emotion regulation, coping skills, and much more! Artemis Counseling provides help in a compassionate and understanding space. At Artemis Counseling, our goal is to empower children , parents and families who often come to us during a time of transition, to move through life’s transitions and soar.

We work with individuals, families, and children . We specialize in trauma including generational trauma, perinatal, immigrants, parent- child relationship issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and family conflict. Our greatest intention is to help you understand yourself better and improve your quality of life and relationships. We tailor our approach to the needs of each person or family, responding to your unique problems, identities, and realities. This is not a one-size-fits-all practice because we are trauma-informed and social-emotional focused practices from a social justice framework.

When working with individuals, I aim to help them through a collaborative process to understand the underlying issues that are causing them to not live up to their potential. The model which I employ assumes that many of our struggles are connected to conflicts within us of which we are not completely aware. I feel that therapy is most effective when the entire person's personality and history are considered instead of just focusing on current problematic behaviors. My work focuses on recognizing long standing relationship patterns that are troublesome as well as developing a more emotionally stable and adaptive personality.

As a social worker for more than 25 years, I provide therapeutic and play therapy services to children and teens ages 10-20 who experience a broad range of issues. My approach is collaborative, designed to help people feel better and function more effectively.

If your child is hurting, imagine a life where hope enters in, allowing that pain to heal so your child can begin to feel whole again. With a strong background in crisis intervention, suicide prevention and adolescent depression and anxiety, I work with teens, tweens & young adults. I offer a client-centered, strength-based, philosophy. I work to quiet the mind, uncover resiliency & provide hope for healing. It is my privilege to walk beside a child who is struggling. I aim to provide an affirming space and help them uncover once again their inner strength, their unique gifts and their capacity to thrive.
