3322 South Campbell Avenue, Springfield, MO

I am a therapist and strategic behavioral‐health leader with more than a decade of experience supporting youth, families, and adults navigating complex trauma, transition, and systems involvement. My background spans emergency shelter work, foster‐care transition programs, community‐based counseling, and clinical supervision of multidisciplinary teams.

Clients often describe me as steady, collaborative, and deeply attuned to the stories people carry. I bring a trauma‐informed lens to every interaction, honoring the resilience people develop in the face of adversity. My work is shaped by years of program development, crisis intervention, and advocacy for underserved communities — and by a belief that healing grows in environments where people feel seen, safe, and respected.

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.
