Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.

Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Counselor with 40 years of clinical experience. I work with adults, children, and adolescents, and I value each person’s cultural background, identity, and lived experience.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience, and I came back to this work because it matters. I've spent most of my career sitting with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, addiction, and the kind of stress that builds quietly over time — the kind most people don't talk about until it becomes unavoidable. I practice telehealth only, which means wherever you are in Missouri, you can access consistent, quality care without rearranging your life. I offer morning, afternoon, and evening appointments — including some Saturdays — because I know life doesn't stop at 5 p.m. My approach is direct and practical. I use evidence-based tools, but I adapt them to what actually works for you specifically. I'm not here just to listen — I'm here to help you move.

Some things stay buried for years before you are finally ready to look at them. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults carrying trauma, grief, family conflict, and depression. Some of my clients come to me in the middle of a crisis. Others come because something from the past is quietly running their present. In either case, you deserve a space that is honest and supportive while you do the hard work of becoming more like the version of yourself you want to be.

My name is Luis, and I am an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based out of San Antonio. I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M - San Antonio and have worked in outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. I tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals, drawing from evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and Gestalt techniques when appropriate.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from Loyola University Chicago's School of Social Work (Master of Social Work). I have 10+ years in the mental health field and I have worked with multiple populations throughout the years. I gained special interest in mental health after working with pregnant women and adolescents. I became passionate about working with women and oppressed populations after working in multiple medical settings. I am committed to reducing mental health stigma through education and conversations addressing mental illness and holism. I enjoy helping others achieve their goals and I feel passionate about working with women, caregivers, oppressed populations, as well as the maternal health population. I have a person-centered approach, which allows me to collaborate with the client as a member of their team on their pursuit of optimal wellness. Although I am a licensed qualified mental health professional, I identify myself as a guide who collaborates with her clients in order to help lead them to healing and restoration. I believe that every person has the power to choose healing !
