Hello! I bring 16 years of mental health experience along for your sessions. I consider myself a generalist and I'm happy to help you with any need or concern that you might have. Some of the areas where I have the most experience are depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and grief and loss. I work with almost all age groups however, I typically do not work with persons under the age of 18. If you are a minor, please consult with me before scheduling an intake and I will consider your need and my areas of expertise and help you determine our next steps. I am also no longer able to accommodate couples therapy. If you are seeking a couples therapy session I will be happy to assist you with a referral. I have spent the majority of my career working in a University setting and have helped many college-age adults make meaningful changes. I have also worked in behavioral health clinics and have experience working with clients that have been legally referred to therapy. If you would like to make an appointment and cannot find a time that works for you, please feel free to call me at my office (please leave a voicemail if I'm unavailable) or send me an e-mail and I'll see if I can move some things around to accommodate your need. 806-701-2601 or chris@beginningchange.com

Hello there! My name is Shajuan Alexander and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor! I operate my full-time therapy practice virtually for clients in Missouri and Texas. Who am I outside of a therapist you may wonder. I identify as a Black woman who is a wife, mother, social advocate, naturalista and self-care enthusiast. Authenticity/Vulnerability/Integrity are some of the top core values of who I am as a woman and professional. Helping people be human, acknowledging their emotions, creating firm boundaries and healthy relationships are some topics that are important to me and that I choose to highlight throughout my practice. I am a firm believer that in order for a person to be whole, there has to be a foundation of self awareness that can be gained throughout of upbringings or our experiences from difference individuals that we encounter. When clients experience me, I want to leave the impression that mental wellness is achievable.
My approach in therapy is one in the same as in my professional career today. My passion is to work alongside my clients, to serve as a guided positive support and a representation of calmness through the chaos.

Hi - Therapy is about empowering you to make decisions that make you feel good. It's also about understanding that, even when the 'perfect' decision isn't available, that you have the strength to manage any outcome. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Marital and Family Therapy. I have over 17 years experience in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I'm also an expert in compassion fatigue and burnout and dealing with career stress and boundaries. I help people struggling in areas of work and other relationships find ways to better connect and to feel like themselves once again by challenging what contributed to negative feelings in the first place. I have worked with adults my entire career, as well as youth and adolescents. My outcomes are positive because I focus on building relationships through genuineness and humor.

Hi, my name is Mark. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. It would be my pleasure to get to work with you! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist; that means that not only do I work with individuals who experience all kinds of mental health challenges, but I also specialize in systemic, or relational therapy - working with couples, families & groups. I am a Presidential Member of the American Association of Christian Counselors. If you want your faith included in your therapy, please let me know; your sessions will be as "spiritual" as you'd like, and no more.
I have been providing therapy and counseling since 2016, and most recently worked as the therapy manager for a clinic that has four locations. Though I have worked with all populations (youngest 5 years old and oldest 94), I find it difficult to work with kiddos that have ADD, ADHD, OCD, ODD and the like via telehealth. They have trouble sitting still in front of a camera. Children under the age of 15 would be better served in an office setting, face-to-face, in my opinion.
I have been with my amazing wife going on 35 years now (2023), and have two wonderful adult children. I enjoy sports, music and all kinds of "outdoorzie" stuff. I most of all just enjoy time with my family.
Most of my clients profess to sincerely enjoy working with me; I tend to connect with my clients on a deeper level, and in a more meaningful way, than some other therapists. Many say that they or their children work better with me than any other therapist, counselor or doctor they've experienced. I am immensely grateful for their kind words.
I offer my clients a soft place to fall in their hurts and struggles while providing them a firm place to stand in their healing and growth. Always, in a judgment-free way.

I am a compassionate and caring counselor that focuses on a collaborative relationship with my clients to support and encourage healthy strategies to resolve life stressors. My goal is helping clients feel healthy and able to more fully enjoy life.

Hi! I am a person-centered clinician who shows up in the therapy room as my genuine self. I create a non-judgmental and empathetic space where clients are free to show up authentically as themselves. I don't have all the answers (I'm trying to figure out life, too.) It is an honor to be alongside people while they figure out their own journey through life's ups and downs. I also utilize art, music, and drama in session. I enjoy using humor as a therapeutic tool with my clients.

There's a reason they say "It takes a village to raise a child."
Parenting has lots of ups & downs and moments of uncertainty. Needless to say, it can get overwhelming. But there's no need to navigate these challenging times alone. I proudly serve parents & children who are struggling with big emotions & behaviors, developmental transitions, or child/adult mental health issues.
I strive to create a therapeutic atmosphere where each child feels seen & heard. Through child-centered therapy, I can begin to communicate with your child and help guide them as s/he/they make sense of their feelings and behaviors.
But parents & caregivers need support, too!
Parent sessions are a time to focus on you & your experiences without judgment (and without kiddos). These sessions are flexible and can be a place for you to decompress, to ask Qs or explore parenting styles & strategies. I'm happy to meet in person or virtually.

Hello, I am a retired educator who served for 30 years, with over 17 years as a school counselor, working with families and individual students from 4 years of age to 18 years old. I worked with students setting goals, problem solving, as well as, working to manage anger and grief. I also assisted many parents in finding more effective tools in behavior management systems at home and was able to help parents and adolescents find better tools to communicate with each other throughout my career as a school counselor. As retirement drew near, I received my LPC and went into the private sector and began working mainly with individuals who experienced trauma, through a non-profit organization. I have a passion working with individuals and families and assisting them in finding their way through difficult situations in life. I especially love assisting parents with difficulties with children in the school setting and then later assisting trauma victims in regaining their power and strength through some of the darkest days. I understand what it is like to grieve and hurt when people you trust the most in the world, break your trust and finding your way out of that dark tunnel is difficult, but possible. My goal as a therapist is always to assist my clients in becoming a stronger individual and knowing that they are always stronger and better because of and In-spite of what they have been through, because they are Survivors!
