Female Therapists in Saint Louis, MO

I work with women and married couples dealing with issues of depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, sexual difficulties, and spiritual formation. I provide individual and marital counseling, per-marital counseling, and as my schedule permits, group counseling. Most of my work is with women or couples who are 18 years old or older.

Life is complicated. Both my professional experiences and my own life experiences have taught me this. Women in particular experience unique challenges in today's world. We are faced with pressure from many sources, both internally and externally. I specialize in working with women of all ages, including teen girls. I offer secure, confidential video sessions so you can participate in therapy from the comfort of your home. As women we are often so busy with other responsibilities, that we put ourselves on the back burner. This is an opportunity to take care of you! You deserve it!

I am a professional counselor who strongly believes that we can heal ourselves through a shift in our thought patterns, behaviors & mindset. I enjoy working with Black men and women who are struggling with the longterm aftermath of childhood trauma leading to increased experiences with anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD & maladaptive attachment styles. I start the therapeutic experience by exploring your family history & build connections to current disruptive & unhealthy patterns impacting your mental health. I empathize with those struggling with change due to previous traumas, learned maladaptive thoughts, patterns & beliefs.

Counseling is a space for you to feel connected, cared for, and curious so that together we can explore who you are. We are a fit if you are coming to counseling because there is a gap between who you are and who you want to be. I work with women throughout their lives, especially during times of transition. I specialize in working with women and moms.

Vision: To help individuals, children, teenagers, parents, and families discover other alternatives to unhealthy behaviors. Values: Honesty, Empowerment, and Respect

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.

We all face times in our life where it seems we have been thrown a curve ball. We suddenly find ourselves in the midst of a personal crisis. Where do we go, and who can we turn to for help? It is these times, when professional counseling and therapy is helpful. My motto is, "When life hurts...healing helps." My ideal client is an individual, or family member who is seeking a skilled mental health professional. I provide a therapeutic environment for my client, that will assist you in navigating through the personal issues that you have been struggling with.

At Terrace House, I am passionate about working with women as they seek growth and empowerment – including those facing trauma including emotional abuse, relational violence, sexual violence, and addiction. I also work with adolescents to build self-esteem and coping skills to assist them in overcoming trauma, bullying, anxiety, depression, attention and behavioral challenges, and self-harm. I specialize in partnering with you, the client, to create a safe and true space so that you can come to better understand who you are, and ultimately change your own story.

I work with clients dealing with depression or anxiety rooted in perfectionism, challenging family dynamics, work/life imbalance, OCD, coping with neurodivergence in a neurotypical world, and religious trauma. I enjoy working with women and non-binary individuals who feel uncomfortable with the cultural norms forced upon them. I am a neurodivergent (ND) friendly therapist, and have experience supporting clients to identify and work with their ND characteristics - including women or NBs who believe they may have undiagnosed ADHD or Autism. I am LGBTQIA+ allied.

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen, no matter who you are, where you come from, where you work or what place you call home. I am focused on healing the community’s that I serve. I created a safe space for people to heal and make self-care a priority. I am dedicated to “Shattering the Silence” by encouraging community members to empower, uplift, inspire, motivate and support each other to break the silence and end the stigma about mental illness & mental healthcare. I look forward to being a helpful partner on your journey of healing, growth, learning and change. I will encourage you every step of the way.

Hi! I'm Linda Etim and I specialize in working with women and men who are in toxic or abusive/predatory relationships. My unique approach is designed to help you detach from and avoid these toxic relationships. I also work with individuals who are suffering from anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. As well I work with those experiencing work related stress, racial injustice and everyday life stressors. All of the above issues can threaten your physical and emotional wellbeing. I prescribe techniques that will help you to manage your symptoms while at the same time achieving overall wellness.

What is stopping you from being the mother, and woman , you want to be? Maybe you're constantly overwhelmed. Maybe pregnancy and postpartum weren't what you expected. Maybe parenting the tantrums feels out of control. Maybe you're feeling disconnected. Maybe you're tired of making decisions all the time. Maybe your past interferes with the kind of parent you want to be. Or maybe you've just lost sight of yourself. Whatever the reason, there is help. I want to work together with you to navigate your roadblocks, increase connection and confidence, and develop the coping skills to create a new path in motherhood and in life!

My hope is that our work together can reignite those things that bring you the most joy and life. Often this process involves working through the impact of loss, pain, or trauma in a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. I work extensively with women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and much of my experience centers around religious trauma and spiritual wounding. My work is informed by humanistic and existential perspectives of psychotherapy, and I often incorporate the use of mindfulness techniques. I am also trained in a number of evidence-based clinical treatments including IFS, ACT, and EMDR.

Any ending, beginning or life change can disrupt your sense of who you are in the world — whether that be a break-up, divorce or separation, the loss of a loved one, a move or career change, a new relationship or becoming a parent or empty-nester. These changes can stir up old wounds, past relational traumas and overwhelming emotions that leave you stuck looping in old, dissatisfying behavior patterns. We now know that traditional talk therapy simply is not enough to heal your past wounds and relational traumas to create the boundaries, connection and joyful life of fulfilling relationships you dream of.

Over the last nine years, it has been my privilege to walk with people through difficult seasons of life. I have experience working with both women and youth struggling with a variety of life challenges including the battle with depression, low self-image, anxiety, addiction, the devastating consequences of abuse, the function of self-harm, the impact of family of origin issues, the emotional and relational consequences of divorce, and the strain of life transitions. I am incredibly grateful for the gift of walking with women and teens down the difficult path that leads to healing.
