**Currently On A Wait List** Hello and welcome to my unique practice, A Place Within: For Counseling and
Sandplay
Therapy. I believe in moving beyond coping and working towards healing. Simply put, no one wants to simply exist, we are meant to thrive. Although trained in traditional talk therapy, I also focus on creative therapies that integrate the mind, body, and spirit. These include
sandplay
therapy for adults and children, hypnotherapy, and play therapy for children. Rather than staying in the analytical areas of the brain, as talk therapy traditionally functions, these creative approaches bring the whole brain into treatment.

Virtual Counseling focused on helping you live your best life...because it's been a really interesting last few years! Are you tired and stressed? Maybe you're worried a lot about anything and everything, feeling overwhelmed? Life is constantly changing and you can't keep up. You are snapping at people, distracted, and struggling. You wonder what's going on in your head. You’re trying to move forward but you can't. Maybe you are in constant conflict - yelling, and arguing over every little detail and you don't know how to help. You're wondering, "is this normal?" and feel alone.

Have you been told "let's wait and see" regarding a concern about your child? Maybe your concern was shrugged off as a "phase" or something they will "grow out of." I disagree! If you have a concern about your child's development, behavior, or emotional state, let's explore that and create a plan to help them navigate these challenges. I believe strongly in providing preventative and early intervention services to children and their families. Accurate diagnosis is the start to receiving appropriate intervention. I am trained in providing the ADOS-2, the "gold standard" test for ASD, to both children and adults.

The systems we live within (capitalism, racism, cisheterosexism, fatphobia, etc.) and our early attachment experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from others, our bodies, our values, and our authentic selves. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space to explore with you and acknowledge the ways in which these systems have impacted and neglected you. Together, we'll develop resources, skills, and insights to make your life and relationships feel more manageable and meaningful.

Do you have a child who has been impacted by recent changes in the home or other areas of their life? Are they struggling to adjust to those changes?

Anxiety, depression, bullying, domestic violence, abuse and trauma are a sampling of the topics that can be addressed in the therapy office.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, RPT-S

Being a child in an adult world can be hard. I want to help your child find their potential and be successful. Play therapy is a way of being with the child that honors their unique developmental level and looks for ways of helping in the “language” of the child – play. I will work with your child to build on their strengths to help them reach their counseling goals. I am able to engage with your child at their level to help them feel comfortable in communicating with me.

I believe we are all worthy of living meaningful and fulfilling lives. I enjoy working with individuals and couples, adults and adolescents in exploring and writing their next life chapter. You may be seeking counseling because you are aware there is something standing in your way, we could call this “the problem.”

Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, PLPC

Living in a broken world naturally means we may often feel broken ourselves, detached from who we genuinely are, who we once were, and who we long to be. It is easy to lose connection with our true selves as we attempt to navigate our external relationships, past traumas, societal expectations, and the daily demands of this world. This disconnection can disrupt our sense of equilibrium and wholeness and can bring on feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, and a general dissatisfaction with life.

I know that finding the right therapist can feel like an overwhelming process. My goal is to provide you with a safe place to feel seen and heard. I believe that therapy is designed to reflect a sense of honor and respect for someone’s story to achieve not only symptom remission but also a deeper, long-lasting sense of healing. I am passionate about working with individuals to improve their quality of life, increase internal connection, implement adaptive skills, and better their relationships with others, food, body, and movement.

6-8 sessions may be all you need. Do you often think/say to yourself: “I should know this?” “I’ve read all the self-help books.” “I’ve done therapy in the past.” "I was doing great." “What are you going to tell me that I don’t already know?” or "I have never done this before" I get it. I work with negative, self-limiting beliefs and past traumas that are holding you back.

Whether you are a teen struggling with friendships and social media, a young person about to graduate from college and fraught with anxiety about your next transition, the parent of a young person wondering how best to help them grow or someone looking for change and not sure where to start, know that there is help available in a compassionate and understanding space. At Artemis Counseling, our goal is to empower teens, parents and families who often come to us during a time of transition, to move through life’s transitions and soar.

Life is beautiful but often/sometimes challenging. Some days we feel confident and happy while other days we may feel alone or overwhelmed. The clients I work with are seeking new tools, skills, techniques and interventions to help them feel better, more in control and empowered on a daily basis. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults and elders experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem, substance use, and more. Everyone deserves to have a safe space, with unconditional support, that allows them to be authentically themselves, always.
James P Ahearn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC, JD
Verified
The clients I serve are often at a crossroads in their life story and unsure of how to close one chapter and begin anew. Clients I enjoy working with recognize that counseling continues outside of the session in self reflection, exploring behavior change, and shifting how we think and relate to ourselves. I find that counseling helps meet goals and needs as diverse as the client, and sometimes goals arise throughout the course of the relationship. No one needs a "good reason" to come to counseling, for the desire to reach out and try will always be sufficient.

Sandplay Therapists
Sandplay therapy in Saint Louis establishes a safe and protected space, where the complexities of the client's inner world can be explored. Often young children, clients place miniature figurines in a small sandbox to express confusing feelings and inner experiences. This creates a visual representation of the client's thoughts and feelings and can reveal unconscious concerns that are inaccessible. The therapist does not interpret, interfere with, or direct the client's sand play but maintains an attitude of receptivity and acceptance, so the client can bring unconscious material into consciousness without censure.
