When life feels overwhelming, relationships become strained, or you’re struggling to find a way forward, having a supportive space to talk things through can make a meaningful difference. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience in marriage and family therapy, individual mental health counseling, and substance use therapy. Before entering the therapeutic field, I spent more than 20 years in church ministry, which continues to inform my faith-based approach to working with clients. I’m also a certified marriage arbitrator. I believe each person’s experiences, relationships, values, and beliefs play an important role in their overall well-being. My goal is to offer a welcoming, down-to-earth environment where you can feel heard, gain perspective, and work toward meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and concerns related to alcohol use. I especially enjoy working with clients who may appear capable and successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves.
My style is warm, conversational, nonjudgmental, and straightforward. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself rather than feeling like you have to say the “right” thing in session. My goal is to understand both what you are struggling with and who you are as a person so that therapy feels relevant to your life.

Jake Wilmes- Journey Psyche Profile
Through years of practice treating adults with acute and chronic mental health
diagnoses, he has developed an effective, patient-centered approach to treating
psychiatric symptoms. Jake has a strong background in treating individuals
experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and various other psychiatric
related concerns.
Approach/Style
My focused approach to psychiatric care utilizes compassionate, collaborative, and
patient-centered style of patient care. I believe every patient is unique and presents with
their own distinctive treatment needs when providing psychiatric care. I strive to create a
welcoming, non-judgmental environment where each person feels heard, respected,
and understood. I believe patients should be active participants in their care, and I work
alongside them to develop individualized treatment plans that align with their own
distinctive goals, values, and expected treatment outcomes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in both inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient therapy. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Missouri State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, client-centered care.
My background includes working with individuals across a range of needs, from acute crisis stabilization to ongoing therapeutic support. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, self-harm, anger, aggression, and oppositional defiant behaviors. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I frequently use to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical coping strategies.

Hi, I’m Marilynn Minich, LCSW. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with an MSW and experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, and other challenging experiences. My professional background has given me the opportunity to work with people navigating complex emotional and life circumstances, and I bring that experience into my practice with warmth, compassion, and genuine curiosity.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, understood without judgment, and supported in making meaningful changes. I especially enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that may have developed from past experiences.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Columbia
Searching for therapists in Columbia starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or a life transition. As you compare Columbia therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits your needs.
In a smaller city like Columbia, the right match may be nearby, or it may be easier to find through virtual therapy with a Missouri-licensed therapist. In-person care can be a good fit if you prefer a local office near Downtown, East Campus, or another part of Columbia. Virtual sessions may give you more choices for appointment times and therapist specialties. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers times that work with your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their communication style and what to expect in sessions.
Therapy in Columbia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists in Columbia, MO who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person options, and enter your insurance details for an estimated out-of-pocket cost. You can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
