I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience working both as a therapist and doing community-based crisis intervention. I enjoy helping clients to maximize their potential by focusing upon their strengths and past successes. I believe that therapy is a cooperative endeavor that should assist the client in discovering his/her/their own abilities and coping strategies. I relish the opportunity to support clients through trying situations and to help them to process grief. I speak at conferences on HIV/AIDS, work with LGBTQIA clients, and other topics. I served on the HIV service funding Planning Council.

It is so exciting to me that you are looking for a therapist! Are you trying & struggling to make some big life decisions, or trying to figure out why it’s hard to trust or feel connected with yourself? Feeling like it might be helpful or necessary to (finally) process complicated or upsetting events from your past that you’ve been working hard to just move on from? Wanting to process an experience in a religious setting that felt confusing or upsetting, examine your relationship with a spiritual/religious organization, or explore the ways that religious influences have impacted your relationships and identity development?

I work with adults and teens experiencing issues related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, shame, grief, fear and a range of other symptoms. I join with individuals and couples who struggle with overwhelming stress; have difficulty understanding their emotions and feelings; feel loneliness and isolation; who question their relationship, career or overall life choices; who struggle to find meaning in their lives. We all want to find peace and clarity, and to escape the stream of negative self-talk and self-criticism that churns inside of us. All of us have a fundamental human need to feel connected, accepted and understood.

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.

Something’s not right, and maybe it hasn’t been for a while, but you know it’s time to make some changes. If you (or you & your partner) need help making that change, I’d be honored to work with you. I take a flexible approach, bringing thoughtfulness and creativity to the process to meet you where you are. Here are areas I help people with most often: anxiety & stress, depression, couples counseling (Gottman Method), trauma (Brainspotting), career counseling & life design, substance use & addiction, men's issues, life transitions, anger, mindfulness, and grief.

Hello! My name is Melanie, but everyone calls me Mia. I know how disorienting life can feel in the aftermath of betrayal, loss and trauma. I also know that therapy can be a powerful tool to help people recover their sense of purpose and safety. As a therapist, I draw from a variety of approaches to help clients learn to treat themselves with compassion, grieve their losses, and move ahead with a restored sense of direction. You can expect me to show up as a sensitive, challenging and collaborative partner on this journey.

Do you notice that you struggle with the same kinds of problems, emotions, and relationships over and over again? Have you tried different coping skills without success? Do you turn to things like substances, unhealthy relationships, or mindless internet scrolling to take the edge off sadness, anger, fear, or loneliness? Explorative, insight-oriented, in-depth psychotherapy can help you understand and finally transform these dynamics, increasing your well-being and sense of self. This lasting change offers an opportunity to expand your world.

Accepting new clients... It is a sign of strength and courage to ask for support. Life is full of unpredictable twists and turns and having some encouragement along the way can be very helpful. I enjoy working with all ages, cultures and those experiencing a wide range of challenges. My specialties are in working with children and adults who are or may think they are on the autism spectrum. I also specialize in working with couples and families and am a facilitator of premarital and marital assessments through www.prepare-enrich.com

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with the state of Missouri. I received a Masters in Counseling Psychology as well as a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in 2017. During my studies, I was a staff counselor at Bastyr University. In addition, I offered low cost therapy to the community at a year long internship at Seattle Therapy Alliance. I spent 4 years as a clinical fellow at Roots Renewal Counseling in St. Louis, MO. I enjoy working with adults experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, OCD, grief/loss, chronic illness, identity development, career, body image and self confidence.

My name is Christine Sibilla, MA, LPC and I understand that self-care and the health of our minds is incredibly important, especially when it doesn't feel like there is a path forward. During moments of uncertainty, additional anxieties, fears, and doubts can be brought to light. Sometimes the skills we utilized are no longer enough, and we require additional help navigating our situation. Healing and understanding comes from within, by forming a connection to your body and your self.

We all need help sometimes. Are you struggling with anxiety, trauma, life changes, issues around gender and/or sexual orientation, or relationships with unhealthy dynamics? I help people to work through things that may be getting in the way of what they want for their life. My hope for everyone is that they find more peace, strength, and joy in life. I specialize in working with lesbian, gay, queer, and transgender populations.

Waitlisting clients as of April 2023. - If you are like me, you have procrastinated this decision to seek counseling for some time, and you are steadily nearing desperation. Entering into therapy is difficult - it is important to find a therapist with whom you connect. I provide a free phone consultation and a half price first session, so we can decide if we are a good fit. I work best with clients who are motivated to begin the explorative process towards healing. I seek to honor the vulnerability required to make changes in one's life by listening without judgment and growing to understand the individual's experiences.

"Adversity introduces you to yourself." - Dr. Dan Allender. Therapy, at its best, facilitates this introduction. My great privilege as a therapist is to participate in offering the possibility for hope, healing and flourishing. Whether you have hit a crisis, or desire to dig deeper into long established patterns, entering therapy is a courageous and exciting first step. Please visit my website - jensimmonslpc.com - for an idea of what therapy with me might look like.

Are you stuck? Life's challenges keep getting you down? Feel like you can't move beyond past disappointments and hurts? You are not alone. Therapy can help "renew you, renew life".

I work closely with sexual and gender minority individuals (LGBTQIA+), BIPOC and immigrant/refugee populations. I specialize in working with individuals who are 18+ and who may need help with processing trauma, stabilizing emotional regulation and working towards adaptive core beliefs. I believe that oppressive structures impact a person's emotional wellbeing on a multitude of levels and that intersectional identities of a person are all important in the processing of the mental and physical wellbeing of an individual. I have provided therapeutic services for clients for nearly 15 years.

I am passionate about coming alongside clients as they seek to find comfort, peace, and healing in the midst of the many difficulties that life can bring. From the moment you walk in my office, my goal is to provide you with a place where you feel safe to work through issues at your own pace, while experiencing both comfort and understanding. Since I work with many clients experiencing trauma and cPTSD, consent and safety are of the utmost importance to me. I strive to create an environment where clients can feel seen and heard without experiencing shame.
