Infertility Therapists in Saint Louis, MO

Making a decision to enter therapy is often a step taken after much thought and consideration. Evelyn's professional experience is framed by a philosophy of trust and respect in the collaborative relationship. Clients may enter treatment at a period of life that is marked by stress, strain and pain. While this may be the presenting problem, the journey of therapy allows one to develop an understanding of the strengths as well as limitations that help or hinder life at different stages. Evelyn helps clients recognize patterns of interaction in the present that may shed insight on difficult recurring issues.

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.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private counseling practice specializing in infertility , pregnancy/birth, postpartum, attachment and parenting challenges. I combine my life experiences and formal trainings to provide my clients with a unique blend of acceptance, knowledge and compassion which I believe to be vital for healing and leaping into the unknown spaces of living life abundantly. Feel free to call or email me anytime with questions or to learn more about how we can work together.

I serve individuals, couples, and families seeking professional therapeutic services. My areas of expertise include relationship and family dynamic concerns, grief and loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infertility counseling, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders.

My aim is to be a constant support for people processing a strong range emotions, and “feel all of the feels.” If you are ready to have a support point on your team, to help to manage overcoming emotions, I am your person. So often I hear clients say, “I think I'll feel better when/if (fill in the blank a likely false end point).” Only to find out the when and if that idealized change happens, we still feel stuck. I want to work with you to discover ways that work for you to manage these issues. My hope is you'll feel more like yourself again!

Many people are hesitant to try therapy due to negative experiences in the past. For some, this will be their first attempt. The style of therapy I focus on is emotional support and listening. I really enjoy being able to walk next to clients when they are making difficult decisions in life or dealing with general stress and anxiety. Being able to assist a person in making their own choices, coming from a place of compassion, non-judgment, and understanding context is a crucial part of my approach. Listening, encouragement, and providing a safe space for a person to express themselves is what I strive for in a session.

Getting to know a clients inner world and respecting all parts of their journey is imperative. I work with clients to better manage anxiety, depression, and PTSD while processing grief, trauma, and past relationships. I am Gottman level two trained and enjoy working with couples in all stages of their relationship. I am also trained in EMDR, PCIT, CBT, DBT, and TF-CBT. I have specific interests related to womens health, mens mental health, trauma, and anxiety/depression. I deeply value building trust and rapport within the therapeutic relationship as a model for healing. I strive to create a safe, warm, confidential environment.

I often work with people to manage issues in their lives that have become difficult and distressing, such as separation/divorce, career/job changes, grief/loss, relocation, becoming a parent, and retirement. Some clients experience symptoms of anxiety or depression and we focus on realistic, practical strategies to reduce their intensity and impact. My approach involves closely assessing how these issues impact daily life, how relationships are affected, what support has or hasn't been available and then develop a plan for working toward changes and greater satisfaction in life.

You're struggling with infertility and it seems like its been forever. Maybe you are pregnant or had a baby and this isn't how you pictured your perinatal period. This is supposed to be the most special time in your life from what everyone else says, but you feel alone and no one understands your struggles. You hear "everything will be okay." Maybe you're experiencing hopelessness, fear, guilt, embarrassment, disappointment, frustration, and you don't know what to do. Trying to search on Google or talking to your doctor for the answers hasn't helped and even talking to your best friend makes you feel less understood. I'm here!

People seek therapy for variety of reasons, ranging from difficulties with a specific life event or a general pursuit for greater purpose and connectedness. Psychotherapy offers an arena for self exploration unlike any other and can prove to be a profoundly moving experience. I work with individuals affected by trauma, difficulties in relationships, depression/post-partum depression, infertility , adoption, parenting, struggles in cultural adaptation and immigration, identity, self-esteem, sexuality, etc. Often I find that the most meaningful change comes from those who are open and willing to engage in the journey. The change you seek comes from you and will be our guiding force.

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 of all ages 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, play therapy, and others. I also offer the convenience of video or telehealth therapy services.

You are trying hard to keep it all together. You are straddling your personal and professional lives. You desperately want to stay on top of everything but you have difficulty keep up. You want to be present with your family but your endless to-do list swirls through your mind. You feel guilty, anxious, and tired. You are feeling more disconnected from friends and family. You just want to feel like your happy self again. It doesn't have to be this way and you are not alone in the struggle. I can help you reconnect with your needs, your voice, your sense of self.

Have you found yourself struggling with life stressors such as fertility problems, chronic illness, marital discord, relationship infidelity, or even difficulty making major decisions? If so, therapy is right for you. Are you blissfully happy and seeking pre-marital counseling with a future spouse? If so, therapy is right for you too! These incentives for counseling have one common thread, a desire to pinpoint areas where you are "stuck", guard against potential threats to your relationship harmony, improve your life, improve your relationship, and become the best version of yourself.
