Areas of special interest or experience include: anxiety, depression, gay and lesbian issues, women's issues including fertility and parenting, men's issues, veterans (trauma, PTSD), grief/loss, life transition, sexuality, attachment, adoption, marriage/couples, premarital work.
When the challenges of life and relationship present you with complex dilemmas and create painful or uncomfortable symptoms, therapy offers an opportunity for healing and long-lasting psychological change. The power of therapy is in the way it expands your choice in behaviors or ways of seeing others, yourself and your life circumstances. Through a compassionate journey of self-exploration I will help you work toward a fuller understanding of yourself which will lead to greater choice in how you live, love, work and play. It is a privilege to join you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.

"Life is difficult." That's a Scott Peck quote. Healing begins just by embracing this quote. Three simple words, but on a bad day, very true, right? Sunny days seem inaccessible. You've already taken the first step, which is realizing that the listening ear of a therapist just might be helpful. After graduating from Boston U, my emphasis became adolescents, family relationships, and women's issues . This is my practice emphasis, but my door is open to all who are interested in growth and self-reflection.

Hi I'm Carmelita and open to new clients. I've done a lot of community work and work with families, couples and young people to improve their lives and help them become a better self. I am a doer by nature. While I respect all individuals in their stage of change, I love working with client's who are ready to "do better". You've been through some difficult times, but don't let your past define your future. "No" today does not mean "never". You change when you move. Sometimes it takes discovering a different or even a new path. That's ok as long as you continue to move in a positive direction. So let's get moving together.

If you are motivated to grow as an individual or as a couple, face challenging realities, and develop a growth mentality, or if you need to recover from harm, work through grief, and move toward wholeness and wellbeing, this could be the right therapeutic fit for you. If you feel stuck, unsatisfied, anxious, or discouraged, we can work through your struggles. If your relationship is in jeopardy or you just want to take it to the next level of connection, this is the right place for you. Lastly, to recent graduates looking for supervision, I've enjoyed supervising many therapists over the years and would be happy to discuss fitting.

Throughout our lives, many of us have been urged to mute ourselves, asked not to inconvenience or disrupt the people around us with our needs. We learn to suppress the things about us that challenge others, slowly eroding our connection to ourselves. There are countless reasons it happens: unsafe relationships, social expectations, systemic oppression, grief, life transitions, and so much more. I’ll help you tap into your inner creative resources as you learn to navigate your past, present, and future with authenticity and self-compassion.

My name is Deb Wren, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. Admitting that you are struggling may be one of the hardest things to do. There is so much stigma on mental health that individuals shy away from seeking help. Do not allow those thought processes to hinder you from getting the help that you need. I work with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship woes, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, and many other disorders. I am not here to provide advice but to help you to find solutions to your own issues so that you can live a fulfilling life. Your Mental Health is Priceless!

Women's Issues Therapists

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?

Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?

Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
