Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Farmington, MO

I have over 20 years of experience in healthcare. My career began as a pharmacy technician, then as an emergency room nurse, and later supervising behavioral health units at Mercy St. Louis before becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.This background allows me to understand mental health from both medical and psychiatric perspectives.

I’ve spent 20 years in mental and behavioral health because I believe people are capable of more than they realize, even when things feel heavy. What draws me to this work is sitting with someone in the middle of a hard season and watching them find their footing again.

I earned my undergraduate degree from Southwest Baptist University and my Master’s in Counseling from Missouri State University. I also pursued doctoral-level studies at Roberts Wesleyan College. My clinical background spans forensic psychology, psychological testing, relationships, and sexual health, which has given me a broad foundation for working with a wide range of people and challenges.

I work with individuals, couples, and families across Missouri, all sessions virtual. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, eating disorders, OCD, bipolar disorder, maternal mental health, relationship challenges, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care.

My practice is a space where all of who you are is welcome, whether that includes your faith, your identity, or both.

If I had to describe my style in a few words: warm, direct, and judgment-free.

Hi, I’m Natasha, a practicing therapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges.

Over the years, I’ve supported clients through struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and family dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make real, lasting changes.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Clients often share that they value my ability to listen deeply, provide fresh perspectives, and offer tools they can use in daily life.

If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with nearly two decades of professional experience, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth, clarity, and healing.
