Hi, I'm Brittney, and I'm excited to support you on your journey to better mental health! I'm board certified as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I primarily focus on OCD, anxiety, and depression. I am no longer accepting new ADHD clients. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can work together to help you thrive. I look forward to meeting you!
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, overcome obstacles, and develop a stronger sense of identity.
As a lifelong Missouri resident and educator, I am very familiar with the specifics that come with living in this area.
If you've been told your anxiety, exhaustion, or emotional shifts are "just stress" or "just aging" — and something in you knows it's more than that — you're in the right place. I'm Kristal, a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting people through life's most challenging transitions. That career — rooted in crisis intervention, child welfare, and working alongside people experiencing homelessness — built in me a deep capacity to sit with complexity, pain, and change without flinching. That foundation now drives my specialized work with women navigating perimenopause and menopause. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to this work. I've walked this road myself — which means when you show up, you will be genuinely seen and heard, perhaps in a way you haven't been in a long time.

Compassionate Medication Treatment Provider for Youths, Adults, & LGBTQ+
I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who specializes in helping individuals heal from mental health challenges. I partner with my clients to develop plans of care that address their specific needs & goals. I work with a wide range of simple & complex mental health conditions which include but are not limited to substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, nightmare disorder, insomnia, ADHD, OCD, etc.
I'm a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, PTSD, criminal victimization and perpetration and crisis intervention. Much of my work considers the effects of gender socialization, microaggressions, discrimination, social inequality and the stress that women and men face in their daily lives.
Outside of session, you'll usually find me running, on a yoga mat or watching basketball. I believe that cooking and gardening are special kinds of therapy.
If you've been awake at 3am running the same loop, or carrying something that happened to you that still shows up in your body years later, or white-knuckling your way through a job that takes more than it gives — you're in the right place. I'm Saleena Neuhaus, and I've been a clinical social worker for more than 13 years. I'm down-to-earth, evidence-based, conversational, and I think shared humor belongs in the therapy room — you're not going to get a blank stare and a notepad from me. My work centers on anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, insomnia and sleep problems, ADHD, adjustment and life change, occupational stress, and the relational stuff sitting underneath a lot of it. Sleep is a particular focus of mine, and it's often the thread worth pulling first — when sleep comes back, everything else gets more workable. I've trained and practiced as a trauma-informed provider, which in practice means we move at your pace and nothing gets forced open before you're ready. Most of all, I want you to leave with real hope that recovery is possible and that feeling better is genuinely available to you.
