Codependency Therapists in Saint Louis, MO

I work with those who are courageously facing pain and trauma in their lives. Perhaps you wonder if you can look at your own experiences... Maybe you fear being overwhelmed if you dare look. You may be thinking anxiety will overwhelm you. It need not be this way. Allow me to journey with you as you explore the questions tugging at you. You need not face them alone. Support is here; it is real. You CAN face these challenges, and you need not face them alone in the silence of your heart. Reach out now for the support you deserve.

I know that finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already struggling and in need of support. I believe that feeling seen and heard can serve as a powerfully reparative experience, especially in a space of non-judgment and acceptance. I am honored and committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment to help clients connect with themselves in an emotionally vulnerable, safe, and self-compassionate way. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, utilizing a neuro-biologically focused approach that restores the authentic self with self-regulation, wholeness, and a sense of aliveness.

I work with clients to define goals to work on in counseling, and to work to reinforce strengths clients already have within themselves and foster new strengths to help clients achieve their goals. I tailor clinical therapy approaches depending on the unique and specific needs of each individual. I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, attachment/ codependency , stress management, grief, and military/Veteran issues.

I am a trauma-informed therapist who works with adult clients in individual therapy. I have a special heart for working with individuals who struggle with boundary issues, codependency , self-esteem, and shame. I also work with survivors of narcissistic/emotional/spiritual abuse; clients with adult ADHD; and those with relational/attachment trauma through abuse and neglect in their family of origin. I offer a holistic approach to understand the whole person as well as look at attachment; utilize emotionally-focused therapy; cognitive behavioral therapy; and person-centered approach among many other modalities.

I am passionate about psychology and making a positive difference in people's lives. As a generalist, I conduct individual therapy for a variety of concerns, with specialties in treating anxiety, panic attacks, perfectionism, obsessive thinking, women's issues, and codependency . I am both knowledgeable and compassionate, professional and relatable. My approach in therapy is collaborative, in which I empower my clients to help themselves. In my role as a therapist, I can be a supportive listener or active "coach," depending on need. I utilize a wide range of interventions tailored to the specific needs of each individual.

Hello Friend! Feel free to call me Jazz or Jazzy. I’m a curious person who loves helping my fellow humans find their way back home to themselves. This can mean different things depending on the individual, which is why we will work together to decide what it means for you. You’re the expert on your lived experience, I’m the one with the student debt for this degree, and we will work as a team to meet your therapeutic goals. My intention in sessions is to provide a safe place where you can finally set down some of the heavy burdens like anxiety, self-harm, shame, and trauma and begin to unpack them.

Is the stress and anxiety of life getting you down? Does it seem like you will never overcome the emotional and physical pain you are experiencing? Are you stuck in behavioral patterns that derail financial success, impede relationships, and sabotage professional and personal growth? Pessimism, sadness, anger, and frustration, are real emotions with consequences, sometimes severe. They prevent you from enjoying your best life. Feeling stuck, unloved/cared for, worthless, and a failure is no fun. If it seems you are destined to live out this unfulfilling and, at times, hopeless life; take heart. Hope is just a phone call away!

Are you feeling miserable, stressed, or just dissatisfied? I will assist you in building your life worth living. I work very well with those who feel like things are falling apart... to be more present, tolerate your distress, improve relationship satisfaction, and regulate your emotions. I specialize in those with chronic emotional dysregulation who may be trying to cope through self-injury, considering suicide, or other destructive means. Many of my clients have experienced abuse or trauma, and many are working on addressing codependency by learning to set boundaries.

I believe counseling is a partnership in which we work together in developing and implementing a plan to reach the clients treatment goals. Each client is unique and different, and I adjust according to the clients needs. I work well with clients who are ready to do the work to heal and grow. The client and I are active throughout the counseling process. I have found that this process is a journey towards healing and thriving in all areas of life.

I believe that we do not always have control over our circumstances, but we do have a choice in how we handle our circumstances. I encourage clients to focus on their strengths. Allowing a safe platform to vent and learn how to use healthy ways to manage depression, anxiety, stress, life's unexpected changes, losses, codependency and relationship/family struggles. I have worked with many woman regarding pregnancy issues, loss, post-partum, relationship issues and work/life balance. In addition, I've worked with men regarding relationship issues, work stress, family dynamics, and loss.

If you need a warm, supportive environment where you can feel safe to explore, learn, and make changes, you've come to the right place! I work with people from diverse backgrounds in a compassionate manner focusing on improving communication, recovering from past trauma, and developing effective strategies for stress/coping. I am directive at times and will challenge you to take on new perspectives and try out new behaviors, but at a pace that is comfortable to you. I use cognitive-behavioral techniques, role-playing, goal-setting, exposure/response prevention, assertiveness training, internal family systems, and others.

Life transitions are the new beginning; unfortunately, past experiences, insecurities, trauma, and grief can influence the present behavior & actions. Making life transitions emotionally exhausting while getting the same results exacerbating feelings of stuck-ness in the rut. If you are tired of starting over and want to learn Why, When, & How you self-sabotage your success & relationships, If you want to gain mastery over your emotions, have clarity, focus, and commitment to your life goals. Grow personally/professionally, feel more in control, and less stressed than I am the therapeutic coach you need. Online and self-pay only.

Living with internal chaos is exhausting and lonely. Constantly feeling overwhelmed and afraid takes away from living well. Maybe you relate to this. Maybe you know what it’s like to feel like your life isn’t yours, to feel controlled by anxiety. Maybe parts of you feel stuck and alone. You want to feel safe and loved, but something is in the way. Or something is missing. Or maybe you don’t know what’s going on, but you know it hurts. It is possible to feel better. You can create a life you want to live.

I provide therapeutic services to adults, adolescents, couples, and families, specializing in work with clients who are seeking growth or healing within relationships – both those held with others and with themselves. Much of my work explores experiences of alienation or conflict within ourselves, our families, and our communities. The clients that I have found to best fit my approach are seeking purpose and meaning, navigating feelings of uncertainty, and are interested in examining ways outward relationships reflect their inner selves.

I work with couples, individuals, and families focusing on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief/loss, and trauma. I have been trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and utilize these techniques for couples and individuals. During our sessions, we will identify the underlying emotional needs and gain tools to communicate those needs to others, whether that is with our partner, our family, or our friends. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental space where people can increase their understanding of the unhelpful patterns of behaviors that might be causing them pain and hardship.
