Substance Use Therapists in 63017

I am accepting new clients. I've provided and supervised Mental Health (MH) and Substance Use counseling services for over 25 years in a variety of settings with all age groups. My experience and training has convinced me of several things - relationships define our sense of self; we look to our relationships for comfort and safety; Mental Wellness encompasses a Mind, Body and Spirit approach. I believe successful counseling is a commitment to create a place that allows each person to communicate their needs at a more genuine level and practice more effective ways of relating to others and taking an active role in one's health.

I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience providing behavioral and mental health care in schools, intensive treatment, and in outpatient settings. I am currently working for LifeStance Health as a Clinical Therapist, providing supportive therapy to adolescents, teens, adults, couples and families that are experiencing a variety of challenges. These challenges may include anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, shame, substance abuse, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, and marital/family conflict.

Throughout my career as a therapist, I've worked with children, couples, adolescents and adults with eating disorders, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, PTSD/complex trauma, addictions, relational concerns and family conflict.

It's the relationships in our lives that bring joy and contentment. We also know that they can cause great pain. For over 35 years, I've had the privilege to work with individuals and couples helping them successfully navigate the challenges they've faced in their relationships, as well as with personal challenges, such as addictions, career changes or anxiety and depression-related issues. Whether working with individuals, couples or families, it's seeing issues resolved and lives restored that bring such satisfaction.

The Center for Cognitive Therapy, St. Louis, provides treatment for those suffering from a variety of emotional issues, including depression, anxiety, family, marital, aging, and childhood problems.

Sloane, LCSW, has over 44 years of clinical experience, and has taught at Washington University in the graduate school for 17 years from 1990 through 2006. Don has given many seminars and keynote addresses at major conferences. He has also provided trainings at a number of Fortune 500 companies.

I work with individuals, couples and families who have come to understand that various aspects of their lives may be in the need of change. A willingness to self-reflect along with a desire to move towards wellness are two critical elements essential for lasting change and personal growth. My role as a counselor is to journey alongside those willing to embrace transition into wellness and wholeness by their own definition. I offer a solution based, emotion focused, positive approach in dealing with the difficulties of life.

Sometimes we move into a season of life where we realize something needs to change. We don’t always know what that change is, but we sense that without it, we may not be able to move forward. Therapy is the exploration and healing of that season of life. We have a tendency to repeat old patterns that don’t get us to our goal, but struggle to come up with a different path. This doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you. In fact, it means that a part of you believes deeply that the way you’re doing things is helpful, even though the end result doesn’t seem so wonderful! Let’s try to create a path to freedom together!

In my ten years as a counselor, it's been my privilege to care for men, teens, and couples wrestling with depression, stress, and anxiety; addiction (drugs and alcohol; gambling; sexual...); the grief involved with divorce; the struggles associated with life's transitions; difficulties in school and relationships; and family conflict. My hope is that the men and women I talk to would be able to experience intimacy in their relationships, fullness of life, and find success in their daily lives.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, self-esteem, or relationship issues, I am a Nationally Board Certified Counselor, that meets you where you are, supporting you in an inviting, confidential environment.

As a counselor, I believe that each client is unique, as are their experiences. This belief allows me to work with both individuals and families in a way that is personally tailored to meet their needs. I am honored when I am invited and trusted to work with children, teenagers, adults and entire families through life's ever changing events.

Starting therapy is an important decision, and one that we're often making when we're struggling the most. I make this process feel as safe and comfortable as possible by helping you understand what to expect, collaboratively setting treatment goals, and making sure that we're moving at a pace that feels manageable to you. I believe my clients intuitively know what is most important to them. Life sometimes makes it hard for us to keep this focus or understand what we need. When you're caught in an unhealthy cycle or feel disconnected from the people and things you value, I will support you as you build the life you want to live.

We all struggle at one time or another with grief, excessive stress, anxiety, depression and even addiction. As an LPC it is my privilege to walk with my clients through their healing process. You need a place you feel safe and not judged. I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma, and addiction but work with a range of issues in adolescents and adults. Additionally I am trained in EMDR therapy. I have a passion for helping people find their inner strengths in order to live a happier and healthier life. I am the owner of Inspire Change Counseling and living in AZ full time but have 4 therapists at the Chesterfield office to help.

Are you scared of what’s to come? Do you sometimes feel lonely, confused? Maybe unheard or misunderstood. Perhaps it’s a transitional time in your life. Have you lost someone (or something) dear to you? Do you have a decision to make but don’t quite know how to launch? A counselor can be a resource to help you through these adjustments. A set of ears, a sounding board... Whether there’s difficulty with interpersonal relationships you need to further explore, or challenges with current situations you suspect stem from your past, let's explore and navigate

I'm not your typical counselor... You won't find me busy looking at my notes and only paying attention half the time you're talking. My style is very conversational and I'll share about myself any time it's pertinent, or when asked. I don't believe in dragging counseling out because it's expensive so why waste your time and money? You've got a problem so let's get to fixing it! The bottom line is your quality of life: it's not where you want/need it to be, and it's my job to help you improve it. My primary office is in Springfield, MO with a secondary location in Chesterfield, MO a few days a week.
