Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Saint Charles, MO

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.

My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and understood. I strive to meet each client with compassion and curiosity, honoring their unique story while helping them develop the tools they need to move forward. Whether I am working with children, teens, or adults, my goal is to help each person feel more confident in who they are and more hopeful about where they’re going.

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.

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 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.

Hi, I'm Shawntelle Fisher, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) passionate about helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate life's challenges with compassion and practical tools. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, foster care and adoption, family conflict, grief, and life transitions. I offer evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs so you feel understood, supported, and hopeful about your next steps.

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.
