Therapists in Greene County, MO

Life is so fast paced with so many paths, which can cause a person to feel stuck. It is easy to feel like one is far behind or should be at a certain milestone in their life. One thing I always tell my clients is to meet themselves where they are at. A simple phrase that takes awhile to fully understand what that is and how to get there. By meeting ourselves where we are at, we can examine what we truly want and begin to trust ourselves. As the journey begins, I will be side by side my clients. I may have the book smart, but they are the expert of themselves.

Hello, my name is Laura Benchie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Art Therapist (ATR-BC), and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) based in St Louis, MO. I have over 25 years of experience working with children, teens and adults helping to improve their mental health and providing effective, individualized care to help my clients to make progress and start feeling better.

As a therapist I am in a role which allows me to be able to assist people with removing the barriers to them achieving success in life, relationships, and careers. I have a very accepting and process-oriented approach that is not intimidating or judgmental. My calm, empathic and intuitive nature allows others to feel comfortable and safe to explore what they need to free themselves to experience more happiness and compassion for themselves and others.

Most of the clients I see are young adults needing direction and experiencing loneliness; women dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, or eating issues. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief in impermanence, human suffering, and the power of hope. Everyone needs support and someone to talk to. I am kind, calm, and insightful. I will be interactive in every therapy session. I promise to help bring clarity and understanding to your situation or mental health issues. Progress can be made in a limited number of sessions. Together, we will develop new coping skills and improve your quality of life.

When asked about myself or why I chose to become a therapist, I often struggle to put it into words. While I do mention my passion for helping others and my ability to listen well, these sentiments only scratch the surface. For me, the decision to pursue this career runs much deeper. I believe there is no greater reward than helping to guide someone on their journey to becoming their true self. This conviction is rooted in my belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to flourish and find fulfillment.

Are you struggling to maintain your emotional health due to a specific life situation, unhealthy lifestyle or medical health issue? This is not uncommon, and the fact is you are not alone. Many people have the desire to make a positive change; however lack knowledge, guidance, or the tools needed to do so. Others may require motivation for behavior change or support in a challenging season. Regardless of your particular circumstance and needs, we can work together to make your goals a reality. I provide therapy and psychological evaluations/testing. Non denominational Christian Counseling based on the Bible is offered as requested.

It turns out, being a person is actually pretty hard sometimes! Struggling with relationships or intense feelings? Feeling lost or lonely? Whether you're ready to start exploring yourself more deeply or wish to learn to better connect with others, therapy is a great place to begin practicing. Most of my clients struggle with complex trauma and/or overwhelm, and are searching for help in better knowing and caring for themselves. I also enjoy working with those that may be neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, BPD, etc.)

Hello...I am mature, compassionate, caring, experienced, and have the ability to truly listen and respond to clients' concerns. I love doing therapy, and work equally well with children and adults. I provide in-home therapy as well as in office, and am a Missouri Medicaid Provider, so therapy for kids ages 3-21 has no copay. I personally have found therapy to be invaluable in getting through the tough times in life, and is nothing to feel ashamed of. Whatever issues you or your family may be having, I would love to help you.

My ideal client resonates with at least one of the following statements: 1) You are often told how smart you are, but you think you’ve just managed to fool everyone and are worried that one day they’ll see the “real” you. 2) You are a naturally excitable and passionate person, even if you don’t always show it on the outside. 3) People often tell you to “stop thinking about it so much,” but your thoughts don’t stop. You’re not sure you could even imagine a mind where nothing is happening. My clients want to feel like they know themselves, have confidence, and that past negative experiences do not determine who they are.

My ideal client is someone looking for a significant change in their life. They may struggle with past hurts, shame, isolation, trauma, low self image, resentment, self-hatred, depression, or anxiety. They need someone to listen and to provide a safe place free of judgement where they will be heard. Their goals might include finding freedom, seeing their situation in a new light, gaining hope, finding their voice, or integrating their life experience and their spirituality.

I help youth and adolescents with life’s everyday problems. Individuals who feel overwhelmed by their emotions and want to get to know themselves better, as well as those who need help finding the right words to communicate their feelings. I am passionate about helping young people find the best strategies and techniques to appropriately express what they’re going through - whether it be anger, school issues, or relationships. My focus lies in facilitating growth and providing solutions that lead to positive changes in the lives of my clients.

Life becomes too difficult; you need an objective someone to talk to, listen to your story, and provide encouragement that you can not only survive what you are going through, but work to find purpose and meaning in the midst of the storm. The most important aspect of therapy is the Client-Therapist relationship. Once it is determined that the Client is comfortable with me, then it is a collaborative effort to help facilitate the healing process through the life changes the Client faces. My job is to provide a safe place for change and growth to happen.
