Female Therapists in Clinton County, MO
Practicing since 2012 in the field of trauma and substance use, I empower families to find the strengths within each of them and work on changing their focus to strengths instead of weaknesses. I practice positive psychology, EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy as well as play therapy to engage families and individuals in healing. I embrace creativity while helping individuals find a stronger sense of peace and stability. I tend to use an informal approach with children and teens which can help those who struggle with expressing feelings.

I love helping people work through whatever issues are causing them distress and watching them achieve a healthier and happier way of life. Helping someone see their potential and then assisting them in achieving that is why I do this work. Together we can lay out goals and I will walk the journey with you to achieve them.

As an experienced therapist for teens, young adults and women, I know the world can seem unbearable at times.
Life can be difficult to navigate. Do you or your teen wish you could find the strength and confidence to push through the pressures and challenges of life? Do you or your teen struggle with overthinking, negative self talk or thoughts of not feeling good enough? Do you feel shame for not being able to perform, enjoy relationships, or cope with everyday life? Do you or your teen wish you could wake up happy and go to bed satisfied? You might even remember a time when you didn’t feel this way. Are you ready to feel confident again and make goals in life without the need to power through exhaustion or maladaptive coping.

I want you to know what an important step you are taking to make changes in your life. Counseling can be amazing and scary at times but well worth the effort you put into it. Choosing a counselor is the first step in taking charge of your emotional health. I believe that our mind, body, and soul are connected and when one is out of step, the others are too. Life can be rough at times but I would love to help you through it. I also conduct speaking engagements to educate different groups on mental health topics.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
