Elders (65+) Therapists in Saint Louis, MO

My goal is meet you in your struggle. Whether it’s grief, anxiety, loss, life transitions or relationship issues, we can work to navigate these difficult times together. The path can be windy often giving us unexpected challenges with little warning or preparation. Your thoughts, feelings, fears and hopes can be shared aloud in a safe space.

From the very beginning, with sensitivity and compassion, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space in which you can express thoughts, feelings, dreams, and desires that you may feel unable to share elsewhere. I believe that constructive change occurs when we work collaboratively to develop insight into your current struggles; only then can we find ways to help you move forward. I have experience and interest in working with adults and older adolescents with anxiety, trauma histories, creative people, and those who wish to explore various aspects of their identities, including people who are LGBTQ+.

For 30+ years in various capacities, I've worked with leaders from the public sector, private industry, the military, the arts, athletics, and emergency response services. Whatever you do, I'm able to collaborate with you to identify the impact of your life experiences on your current sense of well being. With me you will find a safe place to discover peace-of-mind and hope for healing relationships at home and at work. Utilizing a biblical perspective and sound counseling techniques, I treat all clients with dignity regardless of faith background in order to help hurting people grow and to achieve their goals.

Life does not come with a road map and sometimes we find ourselves straying off course. Call me today to see if we can help you get back on the path.

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.

Interested in understanding how past challenges impact life today? Curious about what is getting in the way of your ability to genuinely enjoy a life worth celebrating? We can work together to understand what is happening for you today and open possibilities for your future. Together we identify the best way to address your long or short-term goals.

I have 25+ years experience working with individual adults, and couples, on a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, self esteem and other challenges to well being. My desire as a therapist is to provide a place of safety in which these issues can be addressed. I utilize a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

I specialize in the cognitive-behavioral treatment of anxiety and anxiety-related disorders, depression, trauma, PTSD, and life-cycle challenges. Ideally, patients are interested in a direct, focused, and assertive approach to therapy and are willing to put in the time and effort between sessions to achieve their goals. I believe the goal in therapy must be to resolve the problem, not cope with it. If you've been frustrated by just talking and not doing, I may be able to help you make the changes you're wanting. I prefer to think of my work as psychological rehab rather than therapy.

You're in the right place! You're ready for your mood and motivation to improve, your relationships to be better, your work to be more enjoyable, and your life to feel more meaningful. I work well with people who feel stuck or that things aren't as they could or should be. My clients want clarity about their experiences, their relationships, and the direction of their lives.

Is your life full of stress, setbacks, and challenges? I work to find the strengths people have within themselves. I provide individual, couples and family counseling to people who are struggling with a variety of issues including: Anger, Depression, and Anxiety. Clients who benefit from my services appreciate a provider who has a warm, supportive approach while confronting difficult issues.

The therapeutic relationship is viewed as a collaborative effort where client and therapist join together to seek understanding, healing, and peace. Mary Beth has over 30 years' experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Premarital and marital therapy is provided with a balanced perspective seeking ways to build or rebuild intimate friendship and devoted connection. Individual therapy also provided, focused on issues such as relationship conflict, loss, anxiety and depression.

When people decide to come to therapy, they are struggling. They are stressed, suffering, and feeling stuck or lost. In most cases, they are feeling a loss of control over some important aspect of their lives. This loss of control results in symptoms such as depression, anxiety, stress, feelings of guilt or shame, family problems, relationship problems, or problems at work or school. It is my goal to help you regain control of your life!

Utilizing systemic principles and effective methodology, I work with clients of all backgrounds, sexualities, genders, and relationship dynamics. Clients come to me to work on sexual and/or sociosexual concerns, including low desire, infidelity, lack of partnership skills, poor impulsivity control, coming out, inner shame, exploring new dynamics and/or kinks, and also for vaginal pain and erectile dysfunction.

I believe that creating a safe and supportive space for my clients, where they feel valued and understood, is the most important thing I do as a therapist. I work with adults of all ages, as an ally and confidant, to help them find their own path to healing and peace. My approach to therapy is to use interventions that are tailored to each client’s specific needs and challenges. My ultimate goal with clients is to give them the coping skills they need to better handle challenges and problems on their own. I am trained in EMDR therapy.

Please email only. When we're feeling hopeless and overwhelmed by the stresses of our lives, it can be really hard to take the first step- to do one more thing. It's a lot easier to cope when you're not alone. I work to develop collaborative relationships with my clients to alleviate symptoms and resolve underlying traumas as quickly as possible- with or with out homework- your choice.

Are you standing in the face of uncertainty in your life or career and confused as to how to move forward? Does performance paralysis settle in when considering a risk? Having lived through Hurricane Katrina, resulting in an abrupt relocation to St. Louis in 2008 (after forty years in Louisiana), I can relate to life being out of balance, starting over, and the need for grounding. After fourteen years in St. Louis, I've recently chosen to relocate to Houston to be near family and have expanded my virtual practice to several states. Life is about transition, investing in a balanced life, so that we can draw from each area as needed.
