I believe in meeting my clients where they're at. They are the expert in their own story. I'm just here to listen, help process, maybe challenge, and encourage them in their journey. I went to Newman University for my Master's Degree and went on to get my Clinical License. I have worked with varying populations including teens, adults, geriatrics, the prison population, couples counseling, and Christian Counseling. I enjoy working with people who have been through trauma or grief or have experienced anxiety or depression.

Teerah Vaughn

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


My name is Teerah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma work with adolescents, teens, and young adults. I have worked with clients of all ages and believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can finally stop filtering yourself. I’m very down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely believe nothing is “too much” to bring into session. Whether you are dealing with trauma, anxiety, relationship stress, or just feeling emotionally stuck, my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and a little less alone in it all.

Debra Wren

Debra Wren

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Kirkwood, MO


I’m Debra Wren, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from Webster University, my Bachelor's in Interdisciplinary Studies from Arkansas State University and I am licensed in Missouri and Georgia.

I believe some of our greatest growth comes through the experiences we never expected. As a wife, mother, and woman who has navigated my own seasons of change, I understand what it means to keep showing up for others while sometimes losing sight of yourself. That perspective allows me to bring compassion, authenticity, and real-life understanding into my work.

I help adults with anxiety, depression, relationship and family stress, life transitions, self-worth, and unhealthy patterns. I also help couples (private pay only) with communication, conflict, emotional disconnection, betrayal, attachment concerns, and blended-family challenges.

I provide in-person and virtual counseling in Missouri and virtual counseling throughout Georgia.
