Elders (65+) Therapists in Saint Louis, MO

I have earned a doctorate of psychology and master's degree in clinical mental health care and am a professional counselor, clinician, therapist. I am EMDR Trained. I provide talk therapy to adolescents, adults, seniors , families, and groups. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used initially to address client/participant situations and circumstances, to regain functionality, stabilize addictive behaviors and promote safety in an encouraging environment.

I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors . In home, in school services are available. Clients are encouraged to have specific goals in order to have a personalized treatment plan. I also like to incorporate relaxation exercise.

I practice cognitive behavioral therapy. This framework will allow us to help you to change the way you are thinking about your situation, your behaviors that may be affecting your situation, and to make important life decisions. While I believe in being supportive, I will also challenge your thinking at times to help you to see more options for yourself or your family that you haven't previously seen. Homework is sometimes also used to better assist you with making progress faster and starting the life you are wanting to live.

I typically work with adults (over 40 and often older folks above the age of 65) of various races & ethnicities, genders & sexualities, religions & spiritualities. All are welcome. Jungian analysis is a journey of profound self-discovery. It may be that the depths of the psyche ask for a different life experience! Symptoms like depression, anxiety, relationship / sexuality issues can begin the exploration of what a more meaningful & interesting life might look like. Note: This type of therapy is not a 'quick fix' process. As of June 2023, I have a few openings for new clients.

I enjoy working with clients struggling with relationship challenges, caregiver stress, parenting, grief, and workplace issues. I've been trained in many evidence-based interventions, and work collaboratively with clients based on their goals and preferences. I prioritize creating an open, nonjudgmental, and culturally sensitive counseling space to help resolve problems, gain perspective, learn coping skills, and strengthen relationships. In-office and virtual appointments are available.

I bring 30 years of experience working with women, couples and families. I am a gentle and compassionate listener who works hard to understand you and your concerns. I can help you sort through your thoughts and feelings so that you can make sense of the past and implement a plan for the future which includes clarity and compassion for yourself and others.

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from family or loved ones, hopeless about the future, or like they’re struggling to make decisions or meaningful change. They may be uncertain of how to start the process of change or healing, though they’re ready for growth and understanding.

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to reach out for support. I know it's not easy. I’d love to connect with you to help you learn to manage your emotions and identify coping skills that work for you. I’m an unbiased space that gives your room to explore, process emotions and challenges. We can work together to figure out what’s not working and what can help you feel better. I want to see you improve and help you feel like yourself again. I treat therapy as a conversation that helps you talk out anxieties, worries, stress and other topics to help untangle and reorganize your thoughts.

I come to the counseling room as a fellow traveller with a strong desire to create emotional and spiritual safety, regardless of what must be faced. Much of my experience has been focused on helping men find hope and a voice amid brokenness, loneliness, and relational trouble. I meet with individuals wrestling with anxiety, depression, past or present abuse, sexual confusion, sexual addiction, and spiritual and emotional health in general. Real relief and real growth are really possible!

I am dedicated to providing a safe space for all of your therapy needs. I believe the most important component of successful therapy is the development of a therapeutic relationship. I want you or your child to feel safe and comfortable so that real change can be made. When a person feels safe, they are able to be open and honest about their feelings. I have extensive experience serving clients with chronic and terminal illness as well as grief and loss. I previously worked in hospice and enjoy being able to walk alongside you in your grief journey.

Are you getting everything you want out of life? Maybe you're (still) looking for what you want to be when you grow up. Perhaps you've just been fired or laid off, or the writing's on the wall and you don't know what to do next. Or worse, you have to drag yourself out of bed every day. Maybe you're dealing with an unexpected crisis, or you just want life to have more meaning.

Authenticity. Intention. Connection. Integrity. These are foundational principles that I employ to support you in therapy. Drawing from my background in Transpersonal Psychology, I believe in the interconnectedness of all things, and see the basic goodness in every being. I utilize a social justice perspective, and a gentle, organic, holistic, and strengths-based approach to mental health recovery. I work to support you in cultivating perspective shifts, behavior change, and empowerment. Taking the first step to look within ourselves takes an immense amount of tenacity, and I look forward to supporting you through this process.

My experiences in life have prepared me to look at counseling as a holistic experience, incorporating the mind, body, and soul. I believe in being a steady support system for my client, as they find the root of their issues, while also offering them a safe haven where they are free to be themselves, secure of all judgement. This positive attitude, combined with my health-care outlook allows me to reach out to my client as a friend. Together we will build a collaborative relationship to overcome the obstacles of everyday life for you to reach your true potential.
