Parenting a child with special needs—especially a neurodivergent child—can be both rewarding and challenging. I’m here to support parents and caregivers with warmth, understanding, and practical tools so you can feel more confident and supported in your role.
I currently provide individual therapy to children in a school setting and have spent years working in foster care, adoption, and residential treatment. As a former foster parent and respite provider, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the unique experiences families navigate while caring for children with special needs. I also started a support group in my community to support caregivers, inspired by both my professional experience and my own parenting journey.
In addition, I have spent years helping employees and volunteers in non-profit fields navigate self-care, compassion fatigue, and responses to burnout.
My background as a hospital and school nurse, as well as a parent of adult children gives me a holistic view of individuals. Whether we are navigating relationships together, resolving grief, relieving anxiety or other concerns, I use my positive regard to see, hear and understand what my client is saying. I believe each of your sessions unfolds possibilities for healing. I am passionate about helping clients.
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.
If you're dealing with anxiety that won't let up, a life change that's left you off-balance, or relationship tension that keeps getting in the way — I can help. After 10 years as a school social worker in St. Louis, I know what it looks like when people are overwhelmed, and what it actually takes to move through it. Today I work with adults navigating similar territory: the pressure that builds quietly, the transitions that feel harder than expected, the moments in relationships that leave you stuck. My focus is on making therapy practical, grounded, and worth your time.
Stephanie Barkley graduated from Saint Louis University with a doctorate in medical family therapy. She has been practicing for 15+ years. She uses modalities that deconstruct patterns preventing you from reaching your full potential. Her counseling sessions will help you reconnect with yourself and the present moment and make yourself and your relationships priorities again.
Hello and welcome! I want to commend you on taking this step toward self-care. Our mental health is just as important as our physical health yet sometimes it takes a back seat. As a clinician for almost 20 years, I have spent my career helping clients achieve their mental health goals. I have had the privilege of working with all different walks of life from young children to adults helping them to uncover their strength through difficult moments of their lives.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in O'Fallon
Searching for therapists in O'Fallon starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. Therapists can support people living with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and therapy approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for teens and families.
In a smaller city like O'Fallon, the number of nearby in-person therapists may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Missouri while keeping care connected to your insurance and preferences. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session format, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation, which can help you decide if the fit seems right.
Therapy in O'Fallon can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
