Therapists in Missouri

I’ve had the privilege of working across the lifespan—supporting children and families in child welfare, working with adolescents, adults and older adults in psychiatric care, and guiding older adults and those with intellectual disabilities through life’s transitions. I meet you where you are, whether you need space to build trust or a structured plan to move forward. Clients come to me because I have a broad base of experience. I draw on that understanding to help you navigate your unique situation, guiding you toward clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.

I am focused on sex therapy, working with people who have gender or identity questioning issues, issues with partners, kink/fetish/swinging related issues, or problems or issues with sex and sexuality. I see individuals, couples, and polycules. I have both book learning and practical, lived experience in many sex/gender/sexuality issues. I am a member of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. I believe there is no single “right” way to experience desire, identity, or relationships. Therapy with me is an affirming, open-minded space where clients can explore who they are, what they want, and how to move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and self-acceptance. Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time in the wilderness, thrifting or browsing rummage sales, and sharing life with partners and five and a half cats.

Hello, thanks for being here. I’m Jordan, and I’ve been working in this field as a licensed therapist for over a decade, and my approach is warm, supportive, and trauma-informed.

Here, you’ll find emotional safety, a judgment-free environment, and gentle support as you create meaningful, lasting change.

I look forward to walking alongside you as you take this step. Over my 20 years as a counselor I have worked with a variety of people. Rather than providing an exhaustive list, the populations I have served include: Children impacted by military life and the unique challenges they face within the school environment. Adults and children navigating life transitions and challenges such as divorce, academic pressures, overcommitment, relationship difficulties, unhealthy coping patterns, parenting challenges, and career development. Families raising and supporting children with special needs. Youth residing in residential treatment facilities.

Hello, I'm Deedra Ivie. My goal is to help you find the strength that is already inside of you and bring that to light. Each client is different and has needs unique to their upbringing and life circumstances.

Hi, I’m a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s hardest moments and create meaningful, lasting change. My work is shaped not only by my clinical background and research experience, but also by my life as a mom and Nana—which gives me a deep, real-world understanding of relationships, stress, and the complexity of everyday life. I bring a warm, down-to-earth, and practical approach to therapy, blending evidence-based methods with genuine connection so you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including hospitals, community counseling agencies, private practice, and nonprofit organizations. My personal and family history also affords me valuable lived experiences that inform my approach with clients and advances my ability to extend empathy to my clients. This diverse experience has allowed me to work with people from many different walks of life, each with their own unique challenges, hopes, and dreams.

Hello and Welcome! Congratulations on taking your first step towards healing! My passion is to provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for Anxiety, OCD, Relationships, and Trauma. My practice is dedicated to helping individuals and couples break free from patterns that keep you stuck in the same cycles so you can build healthier relationships, stronger self-worth, and a more fulfilling life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, self-doubt, intrusive thoughts, relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse recovery, or emotional overwhelm, therapy can help you gain greater self-awareness, build resilience, and feel more confident in your day to day. For couples seeking to develop a deeper understanding of one another, strengthen communication, and build more meaningful connections as well as heal attachment wounds, we will likely be an excellent fit! If you feel like you're having the same conversation over and over again with little resolution, you're not alone. I help couples identify recurring patterns in their relationships, understand the emotions driving them, and build healthier ways of communicating and connecting.

I am a therapist who supports adults, adolescents, and children as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful change. My approach is grounded in the belief that growth often begins in moments of discomfort, and learning to sit with that discomfort can open the door to deeper insight and transformation. I help clients explore new ways of thinking, understand their patterns, and take intentional steps toward the life they want a pace that honors their humanity. I view healing as a journey rather than a race, one that requires grace, patience, and a willingness to embrace the messy parts of forgiveness and self‑discovery. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and a strengths‑based lens as you build resilience, purpose, and a more grounded sense of self.

Hey, I’m Amber. I’m so glad you’re here! I know sometimes it can be pretty scary searching for a therapist who helps you feel known and understood. That is the kind of therapist I strive to be. Let me share a little about myself. I’ve been working in the mental health field for over 11 years now. I worked in community mental health for 10 1/2 of those years before deciding to branch into my own private practice. I grew up in a very conservative and religious family, even attending seminary, so I do know those beliefs well. It took me until I was 25 to be brave enough to live my authentic self as a gay individual, knowing it would cost me most of my family and friends. It hasn't been easy, but it has been worth it. It is now my desire to be the support for you that I never had as you live your own truth and tell your own story.

Have you found yourself wondering how your life has turned out this way? Do you feel stuck in your current circumstances? My practice is focused on providing support to adults from all walks of life who are facing challenges. My 9 years of experience in private practice, inpatient substance use facilities, and community mental health treatment centers allows me to recognize that therapy is not "one size fits all". You will leave our sessions feeling understood and with a plan for your future based on your personal goals and dreams.
