I specialize in supporting women navigating complex experiences that often go misunderstood. This includes women who have experienced harm within spiritual or religious communities—whether that's spiritual abuse, religious trauma, or the complicated grief of leaving a faith tradition. I also work with women managing anxiety, depression, and interpersonal trauma.

If you've felt silenced, questioned your own reality, or struggled to trust yourself after difficult experiences, you're not alone. My practice is a place where your story matters, your feelings are valid, and healing is possible.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • St. Louis, MO


Many of the people I work with are successful, dependable, and high functioning on the outside- but privately they're carrying anxiety, unresolved trauma, burnout, ADHD or patterns that leave them feeling stuck despite their best efforts. I help adults move beyond coping and begin creating meaningful, lasting change.

I believe lasting healing begins with understanding, not judgement. My goal is to help you make sense of the experiences that shaped you, recognize the patterns that no longer serve you, and develop new ways of responding with greater confidence, clarity and self-compassion.

Jeanine Stewart

Jeanine Stewart

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.

Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.

As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.

Therapist

Currently accepting clients in WA, VA, GA & MO.

I work with adults and children who feel stuck in anxiety, worry, overthinking, or feeling easily overwhelmed. For adults, this can look like burnout, overanalyzing, and repeating patterns that are hard to break. For adults, this can look like burnout, overanalyzing, and repeating patterns that are hard to break. For children, this often shows up as big emotions, shutdowns, defiance, school struggles, or not being able to explain what’s wrong. I have over 6 years of experience working with youth, including engaging kids ages 5–11 in telehealth (yes, even the ones who don’t want to talk). My style is warm, direct, and down-to-earth.

Currently offering a variety of appointment times, including late evenings and some Saturdays.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Kansas City

Searching for couples therapists in Kansas City starts with knowing what you want to work on together. Couples therapy may focus on communication, conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. Some people search for Kansas City marriage counseling or a Kansas City marriage counselor, while others look for couples counseling in Kansas City. Across these searches, it helps to look for a therapist with training in couples work, such as a licensed marriage and family therapist, Gottman Method training, or Emotionally Focused Therapy.

In Kansas City, finding one therapist who works for both partners often means balancing location, schedule, session format, and fit. In-person appointments may work well if you want a shared space outside the home, while virtual appointments can make it easier to coordinate around two calendars. As you compare Kansas City couples counseling options, review each therapist’s bio for their approach to working with partners, the concerns they list, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to assess fit before you book.

Couples therapy in Kansas City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for couples therapists who are accepting new patients, compare availability, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can review bios, find a therapist who matches your needs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
