Sometimes we move into a season of life where we realize something needs to change. We don’t always know what that change is, but we sense that without it, we may not be able to move forward. Therapy is the exploration and healing of that season of life. We have a tendency to repeat old patterns that don’t get us to our goal, but struggle to come up with a different path. This doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you. In fact, it means that a part of you believes deeply that the way you’re doing things is helpful, even though the end result doesn’t seem so wonderful! Let’s try to create a path to freedom together! View 5 Photos Aisha is a trained trauma and Eating Disorder therapist. Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. Humans can have relationship trauma, physical trauma, sexual trauma, emotional trauma etc. Through a technique known as EMDR, Aisha works to help challenge those thoughts, feelings, and distressing events. As a client, I want you to feel heard, supported, and challenged. Reaching out is hard. My hope for every client is that they find a way to thrive in the world rather than just fight to survive. As a dietitian, Aisha incorporates intuitive eating as a way to prevent food from being used as a coping mechanism. Food is one part of our day, not all of it!

I believe you deserve a space that is nonjudgmental, and open while exploring what it is you need. You may notice a sense of sadness that's hard to describe or understand. Are you constantly thinking about the "what-ifs" that distract from your current life? It's my goal to help you feel in control of your pain and worry rather than it feeling like it's in control of you. If you are experiencing loss or grief, I'm here to sit with you in those sometimes difficult feelings while also exploring what tools you need to help with the day to day. I work with those who have traumatic or distressing experiences they would like to process. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). I use these modalities to help with learning skills to cope with present stressors or difficulties in a person's life. When a person feels ready to process past traumatic or distressing experiences I use EMDR and expressive therapies for this. I know it can be a difficult decision to reach out to a therapist and I am here for you when you are ready. If you notice feeling overwhelmed, out of control, have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning, or turning off your mind. I can help you or your loved one by providing a safe space for self-exploration and growth. Call to schedule an appointment

I am accepting new clients. You currently may feel alone and no one understands your struggles whether you are having issues with infertility, loss, the postpartum period, or birth trauma/planning. The people you are closest to try to be supportive, but their support just isn't enough. Your current reality is far from what you envisioned for yourself regarding motherhood and instead you are left feeling defeated. I often hear from my clients they feel stuck while the world is moving at a fast pace right by them. Let's work together to help get you moving and unstuck. I focus on mental health during/after pregnancy, grief/loss of pregnancy, postpartum depression/anxiety, and emotional health related to infertility. I give the care and validation you need to emotionally change, cope and feel better. Evidence based information with a holistic natural focus is used with clients when it's relatable to topics in session. I know taking the first step of reaching out for support during your healing journey takes courage and hope. You are deserving and worthy of calmness, comfort, and relief. Pregnancy/grief and loss, infertility, and postpartum can be scary and unpredictable, but you are not alone in your struggles. Call today for a free 15-min. consultation!

It is easy to find oneself discouraged, uncertain, tired, and even fearful. It may feel like you have lost the plot in the story of your life, or maybe you’re tired of how you engage with the characters in it. Struggling to hope? Unsure of where to go next or who to turn to? Returning to the same pattern in your life that you know did not work the last time? Maybe you are struggling with depression or anxiety. Maybe you want to break cycles in your life.

I take a person-centered approach because therapy is 100% about you. You know the kind of person you want to be. You just need some help and encouragement getting there. We'll also look at the things you do well, because you are doing far more than you give yourself credit for. Therapy is all about helping you become your best self. My office is your space to be exactly who you want to be. Take off the mask. Break through the walls. Cuss and cry. Laugh and yell. Unload everything you've been holding in. Be your real true self, because you know that is when you are happiest. Life is what you make it, and you can be who you want to be. Rethink your life. Rethink your options. Rethink Therapy.

Hi! I'm Allie Wilson, MA, LPC, owner of Brave Steps Counseling, LLC. Anxiety manifests itself differently for each person, but often includes the words "what if?" and offers a way out through avoidance, worry, rituals and reassurance. These behaviors are often automatic and seem uncontrollable; however, they are not effective long-term and only serve to increase anxiety rather than provide true help. Some people feel bullied by their anxiety and despair of life ever changing, yet there is hope for a life that is not controlled by anxiety or obsessive thoughts. View 4 Photos I have specialized in Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Body-focused repetitive behaviors since 2015. I completed the Behavior Therapy Treatment Institute (BTTI) training through the International OCD Foundation in 2017 and have helped those struggling with crippling anxiety find relief and freedom. Anxiety can shrink your world with its empty promise of keeping you safe, but it does not have to have that power. You can reclaim your life. Take the next brave step in your journey and reach out. I would be honored to walk with you as you move toward freedom.

Being a child or adolescent in today's society is not an easy task. From navigating new friendships, relationships and experiences to balancing school, sports and other extracurricular activities, the world can feel pretty overwhelming at times, especially when you have been around for only a decade or so. These changes and challenges can lead children and adolescents to feel like they are on a rollercoaster of emotions. View 10 Photos Worry, frustration, and sadness are all normal emotions that children and adolescents experience during the highs and lows of growing up. However, when these emotions start to cause behavioral issues and unhealthy thought patterns, they become problematic and should be addressed.

We also provide support to parents & guardians to make the therapeutic process a collaborative one. Navigating the world at a young age is a very big task, but together, we can help your child feel happier and healthier again.

I believe almost all problems are solvable. If you decide to see me for therapy, the first thing I'll probably ask is, "What's going on? Why have you come?" Perhaps you're having difficulty with a relationship or your struggling with a child or your weight. You may be trying to decide if you want to continue in a relationship or look for another job. Or you've noticed that you're drinking too much or getting too angry or obsessing. Maybe you're feeling anxious, depressed or lonely, and despite your best efforts, you can't seem to shake these feelings. Whatever problem you bring to therapy, expect not only support but specific, concrete information about how to best handle the issue. What I often tell people, “Do buckle your seat belt, expect lots of concrete feedback, maybe shed some tears, share some laughter and together we'll get your problem solved." I’ve authored nine self-help books on marriage, relationships and weight loss including a weekly newspaper column for 24-years for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, have appeared on Oprah a number of times as a marriage expert as well as other national shows. I’m a licensed clinical social worker, a cognitive behavioral therapist and a board certified diplomat.

What would people think if they knew about the voices? Or that sometimes you don't know where or when you are, how you got there, or what you said to them yesterday? The fear of being discovered keeps you from connecting fully with others; the fear of knowing keeps you from fully connecting with yourself. What would it be like to feel safe enough to risk reconnection? I help adults experiencing trauma-related dissociation and DID feel safe enough in their mind and body to reclaim the lost and disowned parts of themselves- so that they can stop hiding, show up fully in their lives, and experience authentic connection with others. Having worked with DID clients before, I can serve as a guide and resource for making life with DID more manageable- so that you can get on with living while we work together on healing. You will learn how to improve communication and cooperation within your system so that there is less involuntary switching, missing time/information, and confusion. You will learn the skills to ground in safety when you need to, stay fully present when you want to, and deepen your relationships inside and out. You will come to hold your story with more tenderness than terror, to create a whole life from all your parts, learn to trust more than you fear. We can brave the wilderness together, but you must first reach out.
