About Paige

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've dedicated my career to guiding individuals and couples through their mental health journeys. My academic foundation includes a Master's degree in Mental Health from Mid-America Nazarene University, which equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of psychological principles and therapeutic techniques. Professionally, I specialize in addressing areas such as anxiety, trauma, and emotional regulation. I believe that connecting with your authentic self is the compass that guides you toward health and healing.

Beyond my professional qualifications, I believe in the power of shared humanity. As a neurodiverse therapist with dyslexia, I bring a unique and empathetic perspective to my practice. This personal experience allows me to connect with clients on a deeper level, fostering a truly understanding and non-judgemental space. Outside of the therapy room, I value quality time with my family and community, which helps me stay grounded and connected to the world around us.

I get to know each client individually, so we can work collaboratively to come up with goals that we work toward at your pace, ebbing and flowing as your needs change. My clinical experience has included intensive in-home crisis stabilization therapy, complex trauma treatment, solution-focused brief therapy, and treatment of dual-diagnoses.

I moved to St. Louis, MO from Tampa, FL in 2019 to study Social Work at Washington University, and chose to make a home here with my spouse, child, and pets. I spend most of my leisure time cooking, gardening, reading, hiking, and going on crafting sprees. I also love to travel away from home, in search of grand museums and new foods.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and concerns related to alcohol use. I especially enjoy working with clients who may appear capable and successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves.

My style is warm, conversational, nonjudgmental, and straightforward. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself rather than feeling like you have to say the “right” thing in session. My goal is to understand both what you are struggling with and who you are as a person so that therapy feels relevant to your life.

I am drawn to matters of the heart, the deep questions we ask, how we find meaning, move through pain, and become more free. My own healing through relationships, therapy, spirituality, expressive arts, and body movement led me to become a therapist. I completed my MA in Couples and Family Therapy from Seattle University in 2019, opened my private practice in 2021, and have trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy for 6 years. I also bring experience as a yoga instructor, doula trainee, and spiritual seeker.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Kansas City

Finding postpartum therapists in Kansas City starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. You may also see terms like perinatal therapy or maternal mental health therapy, which can include support during pregnancy and after birth. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with postpartum care, counseling for postpartum depression, or a PMH-C credential, which can signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.

In a mid-sized city like Kansas City, your options may include therapists with local offices and therapists who offer virtual sessions across Missouri. Virtual care can be especially practical for new parents who are balancing infant care, changing schedules, and physical recovery. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum depression counseling before you book.

Therapy in Kansas City can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find postpartum depression therapists near you, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you filter by specialty, availability, appointment format, and fit. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
