I am a Christian counselor. I like to watch the Lord transform lives and bring order to the chaos in our lives. I am a grief specialist. I've been helping people walk through grief for almost 15 years. It's not 'goodbye' forever, it's just 'goodbye' for now. There is peace in knowing Jesus and that faith brings comfort in all types of struggle.
I work with Clients who may be struggling with anxiety, OCD and issues related to school, relationships or family. I am trained in SPACE therapy which teaches parents how to provide support to their children so that they can be successful in controlling their own emotions.
With a career spanning nearly two decades in child welfare and clinical social work, Laura provides a specialized safe place for youth (ages 3–26) navigating life’s most difficult experiences. Her practice focuses on building inner coping and resilience by enhancing bodily awareness and active curiosity, ensuring that healing isn’t just a cognitive process, but a physical one.
Specialized Clinical Focus:
Childhood Trauma: Expert in childhood sexual abuse, abuse and neglect, grief, bullying, complex medical diagnosis/complications, and all the BAD, SAD, and SCARY things in-between.
Specialized Sexual Behavior Work: Extensive experience facilitating therapy for children and adolescents with inappropriate and illegal sexual behaviors.
Systemic Support: Navigating foster care, adoption, divorce, family and/or sibling dynamics, behavioral struggles, and school avoidance.
I work with individuals aged 15 and older who are facing anxiety, depression, low-self-esteem, and many other difficulties. The individuals I see are experiencing these challenges as a result of the negative impacts of current or past relationships, or situations that cause repeated exposure to other people's trauma.
Congratulations on beginning this journey, you're exactly where you need to be. I'm Ada Petty, LPC, dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I hold a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Webster University and a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in supporting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment related challenges.
Hi there! I appreciate you taking the time to learn a bit more about me. My priority is to help you heal from the pain that trauma has left behind. If you’ve experienced harm from those around you who were supposed to care for you, whether that was a caregiver, intimate partner, or the systems and structures around us, you’ve likely been carrying the weight of those experiences for too long. It’s normal to feel stuck or unsure about where to turn, but you don’t have to carry this burden alone.
My name is Chana. I'm a licensed professional counselor in practice since 2012. I obtained my degree from UMSL and subsequently earned certificates in trauma/PTSD and in couples counseling/intimate relationship skills. I have experience working with couples and families as well as adolescents and adults struggling with depression, trauma, anxiety grief and other life challenges.
(Insurance is accepted for individual counseling but not for couples and family counseling)
I believe that everyone is worthy of love and belonging and we all have a story to tell. I use my education and background to help you process past trauma, current confusion, and relational dynamics so you can experience true healing and flourishing. If you feel stuck in the same patterns or bogged down by shame, I'm so glad you're here, and I would be honored to walk with you through the darkness to a place of light and life!

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Saint Charles, MO
Finding therapists in Saint Charles starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. If you have a specific preference, such as couples counseling, marriage counseling, Christian counseling, or care from a psychologist, look for that experience in each therapist’s profile. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Saint Charles has local therapy options, but the number of nearby therapists may be more limited than in larger Missouri cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Missouri. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Saint Charles can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, see estimated costs before you book, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare fit, 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.
