Multicultural Therapists in Florissant, MO

I am a licensed clinical pastoral counselor, and, certified alcohol and drug counselor who has a passion for the family. Because the marriage relationship is one of the most important and satisfying relationships we will have, my goal is to help couples to: identify their strengths, and to build new ones; acquire communication and conflict resolution skills; help them to identify stumbling blocks, and then, help them to turn their stumbling blocks into stepping stones. My experience includes forty plus years of marriage and over twenty years of helping couples discover who they are as individuals, and who they are as a couple.

Are you in the process of defining your life and who you are? Do you suffer from depression and anxiety that sometimes causes you to feel drained and overwhelmed? Do you find it hard to maintain relationships? Manage Your Emotions? Engage in Self-Care? Through therapy, I will provide a non-judgmental space for you to process it all and work through ways for you to become the best version of yourself. Are you ready to lean into your growth?

Living each day with intention can energize and fulfill us while enhancing the lives of those around us. Intentional living begins with letting go of emotional pain. By examining our present life we can determine if the life we are living today is the life we want or is it one based on our old way of thinking and feeling. With the prescriptive eclectic approach to psychotherapy, the psychotherapist customizes treatment to the specific needs of individual patient. The end result of prescriptive matching is a more efficient, applicable, and efficacious therapy that meets the client's current needs.

Is the stress and anxiety of life getting you down? Does it seem like you will never overcome the emotional and physical pain you are experiencing? Are you stuck in behavioral patterns that derail financial success, impede relationships, and sabotage professional and personal growth? Pessimism, sadness, anger, and frustration, are real emotions with consequences, sometimes severe. They prevent you from enjoying your best life. Feeling stuck, unloved/cared for, worthless, and a failure is no fun. If it seems you are destined to live out this unfulfilling and, at times, hopeless life; take heart. Hope is just a phone call away!

Everyone has a Sense of Spirit. Creative Spirit Counseling provides an innovative approach to talk therapy, blending cognitive behavioral therapy with Spirituality & Expressive Arts Therapy. These methods are useful for an array of presenting emotional struggles, healing perfectionism, past traumas, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. Some sessions will be just talk therapy, while other sessions I will invite to you into guided meditation, movement, art making, and writing to express and process your thoughts and emotions.

Seeking counseling is the hardest but most rewarding step a person can take. It is ok to not be ok & ask for help. We all need help now & then. Thank you for visiting my page! I hope that we can work together to meet your needs. I have a passion for working with children, youth and families. I would be honored to be a part of your continued success.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in full-time private practice. I have experience working with patients from adolescence onward in individual psychotherapy, family therapy, and group therapy. In addition, I have experience with clients that are perpetrators of domestic abuse, incarcerated males and the elderly.

Are you struggling to prioritize your own needs, but you’re able to take care of everyone else’s? Are you exhausted but unable to rest peacefully? Do you doubt yourself and minimize your accomplishments? Mental health care is different for people of color and LGBTQIA+ individuals. You may face unique hardships, including discrimination, affecting your mental health. Traditional therapy can feel inadequate, but, as a black female therapist, Cherese M. Alcorn, MSW, LCSW, offers a profound understanding and empathetic approach. She aids high-achievers in balancing their mind, body, and spirit so they can lead effectively.

I provide services that strengthen individuals, couples, families, and adolescents.

During these tumultuous times, our mental health is more essential now than ever before. There's no time like the present to put your emotional and mental health at the forefront. My work includes working with children, adolescents and young adults (ages 5 through 25) of Black,Brown & other marginalized communities to end toxic generational cycles of trauma and unhealthy patterns to increase wholeness & unity. If you are struggling with complex or multigenerational trauma, mood disorders, anger management, life transitions, history of abuse, academic concerns, give me a call or email me at iamrootedoffice@gmail.com

I am passionate about providing services to those who want to take that step forward to begin their journey to healing. I support clients to reach their individual goals by helping identify thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that keep them in a never-ending cycle. I enjoy providing my clients with the space to feel comfortable and open while guiding them to set realistic goals that lead them on a healthier path.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in life's challenges? You're not alone, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey towards a happier, healthier you. I'm Dr. Jessica, a licensed mental health therapist dedicated to helping individuals like you navigate life's ups and downs. Together, we'll create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment.

When you think of a well-rounded individual, the first thing you may think about is someone who is happy with their life and rolls with whatever life brings them. More often than not these days life has had some pitfalls. There is no reason to be ashamed.

I work with clients experiencing emotional, cultural, sexual health, and relationship concerns. We spend time processing your situation and feelings and finding solutions that work for you. I recognize each client is an individual and treat them as such. Let's work together to help you walk in your truth. I've completed all 3 levels of Gottman Method Couples Therapy training, Treating Affairs & Trauma, Couples and Addiction Recovery, CBT for Insomnia, and am enrolled in Sex Therapy Certification through SHA. I also enjoy working with people in poly and ethically non-monogamous relationships and individuals in the kink community.

My ideal client is anyone who is ready to enter into their stages of change. This can be anyone reasy to make shifts and changes as well as adopt new habits that can be reinforced or improved by initiating healing and working on their mental health.

One of my greatest joys is helping people from all walks of life, including couples, teens, young adults and families. My heart is to help each client understand themselves, their environment, as well as their relationships, in addition to the past and present, which sets the stage for fostering positive experiences and embracing new possibilities. I take a “down to earth” holistic person-centered approach to counseling, tailoring each client’s therapy with a unique mix of clinical theory and spiritual truth at the client’s pace. Psychoeducation and Bibliotherapy are integral to my approach, ensuring care for the spirit and soul!

Life can sure LIFE, right! The long “to do” list, the expectations from all those around you. The constant weight and pressure that can’t be explained or diminished. Feeling sad? Who has time to cry? "Not you!" You feel guilty for even thinking of taking a break, let alone self care. That irritable mood is lasting much longer than it used to these days and your family and friends are starting to call you out for it. That’s not who you are and that's not who you want to be. It feels like you are getting further and further away from yourself. If you can even remember who that is.

Have you found yourself struggling with life stressors such as fertility problems, chronic illness, marital discord, relationship infidelity, or even difficulty making major decisions? If so, therapy is right for you. Are you blissfully happy and seeking pre-marital counseling with a future spouse? If so, therapy is right for you too! These incentives for counseling have one common thread, a desire to pinpoint areas where you are "stuck", guard against potential threats to your relationship harmony, improve your life, improve your relationship, and become the best version of yourself.

In this life, there will be struggles and challenges, but be encouraged, you do not have to face them alone. Support is here. I would count it a privilege to walk with you as you face a crisis, cope with a life transition, manage stress, anxiety, or grief, and/or seek spiritual direction.
