Therapists in Missouri

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have 10 plus years of experience working in the mental health field and 7plus years as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, parenting problems and career challenges. My approach is nonjudgmental, compassionate, and understanding while incorporating various modalities tailored to meet your specific needs.

I believe in the importance of getting to know ourselves to our best ability, as this is key in overcoming life's obstacles and healing from past and present pain. One of the biggest joys in my life is having the privilege of getting to know my clients and helping them access their full potentials to get through difficult times. I'm dedicated to forming a strong and caring therapeutic alliance. Your goals will always be my priority in treatment, and I am genuine and straight-forward in my approach. I'm here to be your biggest ally!

Are you working really hard at life without the outcomes you want? It can feel exhausting. Without the ability to effectively manage and cope with life's demands, a person's world can become a place filled with missed opportunities and experiences; a place of unrelenting anxiety, suffering and feelings of isolation. Change is hard and change is possibIe. It's about learning skills to do differently to live differently in a manner of your choosing. I'm a therapist who uses behavior-focused, outcome-driven treatments to address the symptoms of ADHD, OCD, PTSD, anorexia, abuse, anxiety and depression to increase quality in your life.

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach, i.e., interventions that have shown to be effective through scientific research. Through supportive, caring interpersonal communication and collaboration I aid patients to live a values-guided life. Having taught, trained, supervised, and provided CBT services for over 35 years, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan who faced challenges of anxiety, depression, pain, OCD, chronic pain, and neurological disorders. I have also received 40 hours of advanced training in OCD. My services include assessment of ADHD, personality, bipolar disorder.

Hey! I’m Levi. I invite you to take a moment in your search to exhale with me. I appreciate you finding your way to me today. What’s more, I appreciate the world you exist in right now. No matter your stage of life, or which part(s) of your internal and external worlds you want to discuss – I will arrive in gentle kindness to strategize with you toward digestible approaches to life problems.

Welcome to my page!! My name is Sarah Logan and here we are all individuals and have unique needs. Being a therapist expands how being a caregiver allows me to see you in a way that might have been missing before. My training in therapy has allowed me to see the "both/and" perspective. I am able to understand my clients' point of view from their side of the fence as I become more engaged in their journey. It is truly amazing what lending an empathetic ear and offering support can do for someone!

Do you or your child struggle with anxiety and lack a sense of self? Does this affect the ability to function or to connect with others? Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you wonder if relationships with others could be better? Now more than ever, people are feeling uncertain about finding stability and safety in relationships with those they care about.

You're living a different story. Maybe you always knew you would, because something about you has always been unusual. Maybe you planned to travel a well known path, but something happened, and you can't just go back to the way things were. Maybe you're burned out because something that was working for a long time just doesn't work anymore. Maybe you feel anxiety or depression or trauma is holding you back. You want to talk to someone comfortable with unconventional terrain, someone who doesn't insist that returning to the paved road is the answer but joins with you in the difficult work of mapping out new territory together.

You’ve had enough of the stress. You've been trying to hold everything in but the littlest thing pushes you over the edge and after it's all over you are exhausted. You know you don't want to keep living this way and want to move forward with your life but you feel stuck! No one really understand everything you've been through. The trauma you've been through makes it hard to just function and be around other people. You try to push it away and have some normalcy but the triggers make it impossible. Your world becomes small in hopes that you can avoid these feelings but it only makes things worse. You are stuck in a vicious cycle.

Strong relationships are built on a foundation of love, empathy, understanding, and unwavering support. Sometimes a relationship is lacking in one or more of these components and needs some additional guidance. Sometimes the relationship that needs the most healing is the relationship you have with yourself. I provide a safe space for open dialogue and healing. My therapy space is a refuge where you can explore your fears and concerns without judgment. I will be with you as you embark on your journey towards healing, growth and feelings of peace.

Living in a world of conformity and structure can make navigating our authentic selves challenging. Our language can impact how we see ourselves and the world around us. I have a unique understanding of how less visible parts of our identity can impact our experience. Understanding and exploring our sexual identity and experience in a sex-negative society can be isolating. Exploring what these experiences look like with a partner(s) can also be challenging. If you are looking for an affirming space to navigate your experiences, process your feelings, and add to your relationships we would be a great fit!

Relationships can be very difficult and emotionally exhausting. In fact, problems in relationships can increase depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety can affect all areas of life. I believe that there is hope for anyone who is having problems with relationships or mental health issues. I enjoy helping people make changes and improve their lives. For over 28 years, I've been helping clients with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse. In addition, I've had the privilege to help couples resolve conflicts and improve communications.
