Enhancement of emotional wellness and fitness is the focus of my practice. I get motivated developing strategies to improve emotion/mood regulation, improved performance, life management, and positive adjustments to transitions in life. Good thought management and effective emotion regulation leads to better decision making and that leads to a confident, self assured outlook on life. I am licensed as a professional counselor in both Missouri and Kansas.

If you are haunted by past trauma that doesn’t seem to get better with time, I am able to help you find relief. If your relationship has hit an all-time low, and you don't know if you can take it much longer, I can give you the tools to work through conflict and reclaim the love you have for one another. If having affairs or watching porn has gotten out of control for you or someone you love, together we can move toward healing for both you and your partner. If you’ve been disillusioned by religion and need to find a safe place to heal from spiritual abuse, I can walk with you as you find the kind of spirituality that works for you.

The single most important factor that determines if therapy will be successful is the relationship of trust. Your therapist should invest the time needed to truly know your story and to make sure that you feel safe and confident in the therapy relationship. Every individual comes to therapy with a unique personality and situation, so therapy should be tailored to meet the needs of the patient, not the preferences of the provider.

**ONLINE SESSIONS AVAILABLE** Making changes can be very difficult. I believe that therapy is about finding the inner strengths inside of yourself that can allow you to become the person you want to be. Whether you are healing from wounds from your past or looking to write a new future, change is possible. No two people go through this process in the same way, everyone's journey is very unique.

My ideal client is someone who is looking for a counselor to provide a safe and judgement free environment, to be able to tell their story in their own words and at their own pace. A goal for my ideal client would be for them to leave my office feeling as though they have a better grasp on their mental health, and that mental healing is possible.

Sometimes, life presents us with painful experiences that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. These unresolved and unhealed wounds can hinder our ability to move forward and live an empowered life. In therapy, my goal is to provide you with a safe space to examine and remove unhelpful patterns from your past, and allow for transformational healing to occur. I incorporate what I have learned from my experience as a clinician at multiple residential eating disorder treatment centers as well as a residential PTSD/trauma treatment center.

At this time in our world, many feel disconnected and in need of support and grounding that is not necessarily found inside of an office. I provide nature-based counseling in a peaceful and scenic outdoor environment. I also offer tele-health for those who prefer counseling from the comfort of their own home. Whether you prefer to be seen in person or virtually, I can help you heal from trauma, make meaning from what has happened in your past, and create a new way of being that allows you to fully live in the present. Schedule with me today to experience equine therapy, paddle therapy, trail therapy, or tele-health.

I work with a broad population of people from diverse walks of life. I'm an open and accepting therapist that loves what I do and the people I work with. I believe that healing your relationship with yourself and others starts with the courage to make an appointment and say "HELP!" I work with couples, families, and individuals. I also work with children and adolescents who have had trauma affecting their lives. I've been using EMDR with my clients since 2017 and believe the research that supports its efficacy.

Accepting New Clients. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master’s degree in social work. I have 10+ years of experience working in various mental health settings. Therapy takes courage. Mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, post-traumatic stress and trauma can be difficult and overwhelming to face alone. I believe it is important to start where the client is and help them move in the direction they want to go. I am passionate about helping others and giving them the tools they need to experience success. My goal is to create a safe environment where clients can process, learn, heal and grow.

I enjoy working with people who want to grow, and who realize they need to change old ways and patterns that no longer serve them, but instead bring pain. In my practice, I've worked with people in all kinds of pain, and with all kinds of problems. I've helped people struggling with relationship problems, family issues, anxiety, depression, substance use and trauma. Over the 17 years that I've been counseling, I've learned that everyone needs to tell their story, to be heard, and understood. I've learned compassion, kindness, and non-judgement are all important in the healing process.

Everyone thinks you’ve got it together, but the loud, incessant voice of your inner critic is telling you that you’re never going to be enough. You are a perfectionist and take pride in the things you do. When you hear the words, “imposter syndrome”, you can completely relate. You hope nobody knows that you truly don’t have it together at all. You struggle in relationships, and part of you knows that it may have something to do with your dysfunctional childhood and never feeling seen. You have big emotions, you don’t want to be seen as “too much”, and you most definitely don’t want to feel rejected.

I'm from Puerto Rico where I became and developed as a professional counselor specializing in mental health and wellness. Then I made the difficult decision to immigrate to the USA to serve to Latinx community; especially the Spanish speakers that, like me, left their countries looking for a better life for themselves and their families. As a Latina therapist, I know how hard it is to grow up in a culture that we love and respect but have aspects that could hurt us as individuals. I know how difficult it is to overcome the social and cultural challenges and make decisions to heal and live the life that we deserve.

Hello, my name is Armand Carel Ntwari. I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) with almost 3 years of experience as a therapist. I help my clients navigate issues of anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship issues and complex trauma. The treatment modalities that I mostly apply are CBT, DBT, Solution focused Brief Therapy, Person Centered and parts work. I enjoy helping my clients improve their quality of life through guiding them to a more fulfilling, joyful and peaceful lifestyle. As I always tell my clients:" No matter what, you are worthy, you are respected, you are important, and your feelings are valid".

Attending California Institute of Integral Studies shaped my holistic approach to therapy: body, heart, mind and spirit. I use a systems approach when working with clients to see and understand how all areas of one’s life might be impacting them today. I have worked with hundreds of men and women over the last 20 years as a successful corporate leader in Human Resources and Organizational Development. In this “first career” I worked to create powerful change for teams in both their personal and professional lives.

Amidst a mental health crisis and many stressors among us today, you can learn to empower your authentic self and build a life of value. I will always see you as a person first. Mental health can impact anyone - regardless of gender, age, body size, etc. I work alongside adolescents, young adults, and families/parents as we all tackle mental health struggles and build wellness through our personal values, commitments, communication, and, especially, through connection. Throughout, I bring warmth, humor, understanding, and assertive support. I specialize in treating anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, eating disorders, and body image.
