I'm Jennifer Campbell, a Licensed Professional Counselor in St. Louis, Missouri, providing telehealth services across Missouri via a few different platforms. Each person is an individual who has their own unique needs. Additionally there is a sense of collective- or universal-ness to many of our problems and you are not alone. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. You and I will work together to tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can be difficult and at times intimidating, I am proud of you for getting started!

Navigating life between the ages of 11 and 25 can feel like carrying the weight of the world with no manual. That’s where I come in. I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, and young adults who are trying to find their footing while juggling school, family expectations, identity, and everything in between. I’m a therapist who shows up with empathy, realness, and cultural understanding. I’ve seen how much pressure young people carry: always being the strong one, navigating family dynamics, code-switching, and holding it all in just to make it through the day. I became a therapist because I wanted to create the kind of space I wish more of us had growing up. A space where you don’t have to explain your background just to feel understood. A space where your healing doesn’t require shrinking yourself to fit someone else’s mold. My approach is rooted in honesty, warmth, and trust. I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk alongside you, help you make sense of what you’re carrying, and create space for healing, reflection, and growth. I honor your story, your culture, your values, and the complexity of your experiences. Therapy with me isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about being seen, being safe, and figuring things out together in a way that actually feels relevant to your life. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, family drama, identity questions, or just trying to breathe again, I’m here to help you sort through the noise and get back to yourself.

Does this sound familiar- today is the day! Today is the day that you are finally going to get organized, stop contacting your toxic ex or start that self care routine you've been thinking about for months. And you start off great but find it hard to keep those new behaviors going. Your mental résistance enters and you feel stuck. Stuck in damaging behaviors and problematic patterns. And the pattern starts again. So here's what I've learned along the way: 1. Transformation is not linear. 2. Transformation is a daily event. 3. You are your own best healer. I am here to help you on your path of transformation and healing. My goal is to create a safe space for you to be authentically you. You are the expert on your life and I am here to help you expand on your strengths as well as hold you accountable for reaching your goals. I have been a licensed Social Worker since 2007 and am both a certified grief counselor and an ADHD services professional. Are you ready to do the work?

Because sleep quality is critical to physical and mental health I am passionate about helping people get good sleep. I received my PhD from Duke University and have been a practicing psychologist for many years. I work primarily with behavioral sleep medicine because sleep problems are so widespread and there are not enough specialists to meet the need. I continue working with people with anxiety, depression, and couples issues. The methods I use are evidence-based and trauma-informed. I am also an ordained member of the clergy (rabbi) and consider one's spirituality an important part of treatment for many, though not all people.

I believe that every person possesses the inner strength and resources needed to find happiness and healing. As a transgender woman, I understand both the internal and external forces that can stir self-doubt, amplify fear, and lead to deep feelings of loneliness and uncertainty. I also know—through both personal and professional experience—that self-acceptance and joy are not only possible, but also within reach.

My work is especially focused on serving the LGBTQAI+ community, though I warmly welcome anyone seeking an empathic, nonjudgmental partner in their journey toward a more fulfilling life. In addition to my clinical work, I have served as an adjunct and visiting professor at Washington University in St. Louis, and as professor and dean of the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies. My academic and clinical experiences have always been deeply interconnected, and both continue to inform my commitment to human dignity, resilience, and transformation.

I attended California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) for graduate school and lived in the Bay Area for a decade before moving to Portland, OR shortly before the pandemic.

I do NOT work with couples at this time.

A Christian Counselor who counsels with an open Bible during the session. I serve individuals grappling with intrusive negative thoughts, shame, and guilt from past decisions and the lack of clarity about their God-given purpose. Do you experience emotional breakdowns, increased stress, and sleepless nights? Do you often fight to quiet or chase away the persistent inner thoughts/voices? It can be down-right SCARY as uncontrollable anxiety and spiritual uncertainty set in, leaving you to wonder, “Where is God?” “Why is this happening to me?” and crying out, “I just want it to stop!” When positive self-talk, distraction, and deep breathing are not working, you need to find a different kind of therapy. Christian counseling, which utilizes Biblical instructions from God, focuses on dealing with all aspects of mental health. The Bible is true, and scientific discoveries continue to support what God has been telling us. Let's remove the distracting emotional states of worry, fear, and pain so you can focus on life. You can engage in enjoyable activities again with doubt or apprehension. If you are done with all the annoying, catastrophizing negative thoughts that keep you from enjoying life or rob you of sleep at night, I want to encourage you - you don’t have to live this way. Reach out to me TODAY. I offer a FREE 20-minute CONSULTATION if you still have questions. Start experiencing peace and joy today!

My name is Vanessa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida, Missouri, New Hampshire & New Mexico and South Carolina. I am bilingual(English & Spanish) and can provide counseling in both languages. My clinical background in Mental Health began as an undergrad and continued through grad school, working for the public sector for the Department of Children & Families where I worked with children, then the elderly in skilled nursing facilities and with adolescents in group homes. I then went on to work as a Nurse Navigator and provided services that included counseling and advocacy for oncology patients at one of the largest cancer hospitals in South Florida. In addition to this, I have also worked with adults in inpatient rehab for substance abuse and court ordered treatment, and served outpatient clients in the LGBTQ community. My training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Solution Focused, and many others that include treatment planning; where my goal is to get my client back to a normal baseline that they are comfortable with and can function in their daily life. I am an open minded, kindhearted and empathetic individual, where my mantra is that I am here for YOU, my job is to assist you in anyway that I can, and help you manage life's daily stressors that may be recent or long-term. We all have good and bad days, I believe we are all one step away from a mental health crisis. Life is one big roller coaster of stress, worry, emotion that all revolve around something changing in our life that we were not prepared for and do not know how to adjust to it. So my job is to help you navigate all of that and achieve happiness, peace and overall well being.

You Know What You Should Do—So Why Are You Still Stuck? You’re so frustrated with yourself. You want to start a better habit, make that healthy choice, or finally do something good for yourself… but somehow, another day ends and nothing has changed. You numb out with TV, scrolling, or distractions—not because you’re lazy, but because you’re overwhelmed, unmotivated, and stuck in patterns that feel impossible to break. You keep asking, “What’s wrong with me?” You talk yourself up, try to rally motivation, even map out a plan—but when the moment comes, you shut down. Then the guilt kicks in. Again. You’re not broken—you’re just stuck. And that’s exactly where therapy comes in. I’m Tammy Brooks, LMFT, and I specialize in online anxiety therapy and habit change counseling for adults across California, Michigan, Missouri, and Texas. With Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, we won’t dwell on what’s not working—we’ll identify what is working and build momentum from there. My approach is action-oriented, personalized, and designed to get results. While other therapists may offer lower rates or more reviews, I offer focused expertise to help you move from self-blame to self-trust and fast. Instead of rehashing the past week after week, I ask thoughtful, goal-oriented questions that guide you toward the hopeful, confident version of yourself—the one who says, “I’ve got this,” even when life throws curveballs. We’ll work together to uncover your strengths, explore your dreams, and focus on small steps that create real progress. You may even surprise yourself by reconnecting with coping skills you forgot you had—or discovering new ones you’ve always been capable of trying. If you’re ready for a personalized, results-driven approach—not just a therapy “session,” but a space to rediscover your strength—book your appointment today—and take that first step toward a brighter, more manageable tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Missouri rather than a city like Kansas City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Missouri from Saint Louis to Springfield! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Missouri.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
