Grief counselors and therapists in O'Fallon, MO

Hello, and welcome! I'm Amy Haas, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, families, and veterans navigate anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and behavioral concerns.

Throughout my career, I've worked with people from many different walks of life, from youth involved in the juvenile justice system to formally incarcerated adults rebuilding their lives, as well as children and families in schools, intensive in-home programs, and community mental health. Those experiences reinforced something I believe deeply: people are far more than the hardest thing they've been through or the labels they've been given.

I believe meaningful therapy starts with authenticity, trust, and genuine connection. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel understood, build on your strengths, and create lasting positive change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Missouri-St Louis. I have 27 years of clinical experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families across a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral challenges, and relationship issues.

If you feel stuck in toxic relational loops, exhausted by chronic stress, or weighed down by trauma, you don't have to carry it alone. Healing after emotional abuse, narcissistic dynamics, or toxic family systems requires more than standard talk therapy—it takes validation, practical strategy, and real clarity. I work with individuals, married couples, families, and First Responders dealing with issues of shame, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties and sexual brokenness, work/family struggles, anxiety, grief, and spiritual confusion. I am experienced in Christian counseling for those who would like to engage with their faith in counseling. I also specialize in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in both inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient therapy. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Missouri State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, client-centered care.

My background includes working with individuals across a range of needs, from acute crisis stabilization to ongoing therapeutic support. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, self-harm, anger, aggression, and oppositional defiant behaviors. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I frequently use to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical coping strategies.

Hi, I’m Marilynn Minich, LCSW. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with an MSW and experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, and other challenging experiences. My professional background has given me the opportunity to work with people navigating complex emotional and life circumstances, and I bring that experience into my practice with warmth, compassion, and genuine curiosity.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, understood without judgment, and supported in making meaningful changes. I especially enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that may have developed from past experiences.
