Veterans Therapists in O Fallon, MO

Change is possible and hope always exists. I create a therapeutic environment of acceptance with no judgement so that change and growth can occur. Do you feel like you want an area of your life to be different? Or that something is wrong but you just can't pinpoint the source of the problem - or how to fix it? Taking that first step toward counseling is challenging but the benefits will include increased self-esteem, better relationships, a clearer understanding of self, increased productivity and a greater ability to deal with stress. What is the point of waiting when you can start feeling better today!

I am a licensed equine-assisted psychotherapy practitioner with a question. What are you noticing about your life? How you answer that question will determine the direction you're headed and whether or not it's where you want to be. It's not for me to say what that or even if it's right or wrong. That's up to you. Equine assisted therapy is one of the most unique, effective and natural processes you will find to experience yourself and how you impact the world around you. It's life changing and is a powerful way to gain new insight. What you do with that insight can be an even bigger challenge so there's more to the story.

I have had the honor of conducting professional counseling services since 2007 as an Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I consider myself to be a mental health clinician. Client empowerment, rapport building, and a unique ability to teach clients to unlearn unhealthy coping skills and to relearn healthy coping skills are my strengths. Strong focus is given to emotional regulation and assessing emotional dis-regulation symptoms in clients. The use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the treatment orientation I use the most with my clients.

Are you seeking someone who understands suffering? Whether recent loss, painful trauma or a moment of deep personal crisis, you'd like someone who has been there and understands what it takes to stand up again. Fundamentally, counseling is a relationship. And for many, the first relationship you have ever had where someone listens without judgment, meets you with genuine appreciation, and gives with no strings attached. Together we will get a clear picture of what to do next, then we can introduce powerful rapid change methods backed by research and put you on a path to growth, well-being and more fulfilling work and relationships.

The ideal client who desire to be equipped and enabled to handle their issues independently. The client has the ability to solve their life's puzzle. My role is to assist the client to anchor the KEY piece(s) and help to develop their own coping skills . I have been helping people all of my life as a teacher, school counselor, and licensed professional counselor and hypnotherapist . Working with individuals, couples and families are areas in which I excel. Many practicing counselors do not blend traditional counseling practices with hypnotherapy. Using both approaches allows the client's mind to be "totally engaged."

There are many reasons that we find ourselves in need of help. I believe that we all have a desire for our lives to be better, but many times we are unsure of how to reach those goals. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, other mental health needs, or have experienced trauma in your life reaching out for help is the first step toward a better life.

Hi. Thank you for taking a look at my counseling profile. I love counseling and have been practicing for 30 years. One of the things I've noticed new clients are concerned about is being able to express themselves without being judged, as well as if the experience will be awkward. In all my years of practicing, I've heard almost everything imaginable and judgment is not a part of how I work. Everything in my office is 100% confidential and safe. I know how to ask the right question and keep the conversation flowing.

Every person deserves the chance to create happiness from within themselves. As the therapist, I will work with the inner strengths of those individuals and help them navigate their life to become their truest self. My therapeutic practice is based on the client's individual needs. I believe that there is no one model to fit all people and the therapy should be molded to the client's individual goals.

There are so many reasons people choose to see a counselor; trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship problems or situational stress for example. Sometimes, you feel that you can work through it alone. However, another perspective and a place to talk in a comfortable and safe environment is the most beneficial for change to occur. You can get your life on track and I can help! I will help you in developing realistic goals and the support and tools to reach those goals. I have also added a certification to assist First Responders to cope with the challenges of these roles with someone who understands them and their jobs.
