Erin Rigdon
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC
Verified
I believe that all individuals will encounter a time in their lives when they will be facing some form of hardship, conflict, or distress. The ability for someone to recognize that they cannot go it alone and need a partner to assist them in navigating life situations is where I come into play. I believe that individuals can make the changes necessary in their lives with the proper supports and skills provided through counseling. Individuals who are ready to put in the work needed to navigate this life are the ones who will succeed.

MSW, LMSW

Life can be messy, and it is okay to not be okay; but you do not have to face life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I believe counseling should be a supportive and compassionate collaboration in which clients are accepted where they are in the present and are valued as the experts of their experiences. Life doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and I will work closely with individuals to consider their relationship with their environments in order to explore areas of strength as well as areas for potential growth.
Dana Fleming
Professional Counselor , MS, PLPC, NCC
Verified
As the sixth generation of my family to live in Howell County, I understand how foreign the concept of counseling may be to some people. Yet, as an Ozarker, I also understand the wit, humor, passion and intelligence of the people of this area, and I combine these traits with formal training and natural curiosity about people to create space for my clients to go through the healing process. Native Ozarker or not, it is my belief that everyone, at some point in their lives, will experience trauma, loss, or mental illness that is treatable through therapy.

MS, PLPC
Verified
The cracks, bumps, potholes, and debris in life’s journey can wear you out. They can make you tired, beat you down, and terrify you to the point of paralysis. Counseling gives you a place of peace, security, and nonjudgmental reflection. I believe that it is my role to help facilitate the change you want in your life. Whether it is the general anxieties of life, specific trauma, or the pain of grief I am skilled to walk with you through the most difficult moments of your life providing you with the support and tools you need to overcome the chaos of it all.
Zach Engler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC
Verified
My job as a counselor is to help empower you and to work with you to find a solution to the problems you or your family are facing; whether it be anxiety, depression, or school/job related stressors, or you’re having relationship or family issues, I am here to help. I have worked with a wide variety of clients from the ages of 10 to 45 years old using individual, couples, and family therapy. Sometimes just having a judgement free place to talk can make all the difference when life stressors are impacting your daily functioning. I am offering telemedicine (on-line counseling) during this time of quarantine.
Darla Evans
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CRADC
Verified
Hi! I'm Darla, and I am glad that we are going to embark on this journey together. It's important to feel connected to your therapist. I believe that sometimes we are all in need of additional support and assistance to navigate through difficult life situations that may seem overwhelming and debilitating. I am here to assist you and respectfully walk beside you while also honoring your autonomy.
Cari Hansen
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, LPC, NCC
Verified
My experience with helping individuals and families overcome difficult challenges is my passion. I believe that it easier to find and build upon one's strengths than it is to focus primarily on fixing problems. Much of my time in therapy is spent on discovering creative solutions rather than talking too long just about what is wrong. I often involve the whole family and believe that every person is unique and requires an individualized approach. One size does not fit all. Please call me or email today discuss your needs and hopes and/or to set an appointment time.

If you are an adult or teenager struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma issues, self-esteem, and/or setting boundaries, I would love to help you.

Life is full of challenging times and transitions and I understand how vital compassion and support can be when struggling through these challenges. I have spent the last few years working with foster, adopted, and troubled youth in residential treatment, rehousing programs, and case management.

Finding Joy Counseling, LLC
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW

Life's challenges have intensified over the last year for many of us. Our mental health has also been challenged. Feeling safe and connected are universal needs. When things become unbalanced, it is easy for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD to increase.

I’m Ren Elliott, a Licensed Professional Counselor based out of Missouri, and I specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, and anxiety, as well as assisting my clients through any kind of life transition or identity concerns. My approach is person-centered with an emphasis on self-compassion and breaking the shame cycle.

Cara Love
Pre-Licensed Professional, PLPC

What a Stressful world we are living in today! Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. In a society that values hard work over mental health, it can be difficult to carve out time for yourself. As challenging as it is, you deserve to find balance and peace in your life. There is a way to find happiness again and to improve relationships with the ones you love. It is my passion to teach self-love, acceptance, relaxation techniques, and empowerment to women, couples, and families. With this in mind, we will uncover root causes of suffering and work towards healing and solutions.

The unspeakable has happened - you lost your loved one to sudden death. Right now, it feels like you'll never recover. The pain is unbearable. There's no escape. You can't even focus your eyes. The agony is blinding. You can't run from it, and it's to immense to process. Every time you reach for the phone for help, something stops you. How could anyone possibly understand this pain? Each day it becomes worse - it's like a physical weight pinning you down, you can't move. You don't have to suffer through this moment alone.
Andrea G. Gonzales
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC
Verified
" Your story is yours alone. Your story is what sets you apart from every other person on the earth. Perhaps sometimes you give away your power and hand the pen over to someone else. Perhaps you need tools to change the lens you use for your story. It is my calling to help you with either or both. I provide safe ears and decades upon decades of life. I use analogies during counseling. If that speaks to you, we are probably a good fit. Counseling provides an optimal chance for growth and I hope you have a positive counseling experience.
Marsha Milleson
Counselor, MS, PLPC, CBIS
Verified
Reaching out for help can be difficult and intimidating. The truth, however, is that we are all human and there comes a time in everyone's life where we need help. Maybe we just need a non-judgmental, open minded, trustworthy person that we can sit down and talk to. Someone that can really listen and help to sort out our feelings and our situation. Someone who can help to make better sense of what is going on and maybe even help to come up with a plan for changing it.

Calli Wiatt
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC
Verified
Are you looking for a unique and different healing experience that is also evidence-based and research supported? Are you ready to make an investment in yourself? I work with clients who are seeking non-traditional perspectives and approaches to therapy and wellbeing, that recognize their healing is not linear. My clients are individuals who desire to integrate their healing experiences by taking the work done in therapy and applying it outside of sessions with practical tools and support. If you are feeling under-stimulated in your personal growth and are ready to take responsibility for your wholeness, we would be a great fit!
