Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Saint Louis, MO

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.

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.

H, I'm Dr. Michelle Echols and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's and Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and more than a decade of experience helping people untangle some of life's most complicated moments — relationship struggles, family tension, substance use, and the rollercoaster that comes with being a teenager.

My sweet spots are teens, couples, and families. I genuinely love this work, and I especially love watching people who felt stuck start to move again.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, trauma‐informed care, religious trauma, leaving influential groups, and integrative mind–body approaches. My work focuses on helping clients identify and transform the recurring emotional and relational patterns that often stem from unresolved trauma or early life experiences. By combining insight‐oriented therapy with energy work and the grounding wisdom of nature, I support clients in accessing deeper self‐understanding and creating lasting internal change.

You came here because something isn't working. Maybe it's the moods that swing without warning, the emotional intensity that keeps spilling into your relationships, anxiety that won't quit, or the weight of something you've been carrying for longer than you should have to. Maybe you've been leaning on substances to get through and know something needs to change.

I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors across Missouri through telehealth, and I specialize

in the kinds of struggles that don't fit neatly into one category: mood disorders, trauma, anxiety

borderline personality, substance use, and relationships under strain.

I believe in meeting my clients where they're at. They are the expert in their own story. I'm just here to listen, help process, maybe challenge, and encourage them in their journey. I went to Newman University for my Master's Degree and went on to get my Clinical License. I have worked with varying populations including teens, adults, geriatrics, the prison population, couples counseling, and Christian Counseling. I enjoy working with people who have been through trauma or grief or have experienced anxiety or depression.

Thank you for reaching out to me today! I am here to listen and to help. I am licensed to practice professional counseling in Florida and Missouri with a specialty in addictions and co-occurring disorders. I have been assisting clients since 2011, but in recent years my primary focus is with adults ages 18 and older.
