Therapist

My name is Teerah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma work with adolescents, teens, and young adults. I have worked with clients of all ages and believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can finally stop filtering yourself. I’m very down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely believe nothing is “too much” to bring into session. Whether you are dealing with trauma, anxiety, relationship stress, or just feeling emotionally stuck, my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and a little less alone in it all.

Therapist

Some things stay buried for years before you are finally ready to look at them. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults carrying trauma, grief, family conflict, and depression. Some of my clients come to me in the middle of a crisis. Others come because something from the past is quietly running their present. In either case, you deserve a space that is honest and supportive while you do the hard work of becoming more like the version of yourself you want to be.

Carl Harbison

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


Carl Harbison Jr. is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with experience in behavioral health, crisis intervention, substance use treatment, suicide prevention, and helping individuals navigate some of life's most challenging circumstances. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Central Methodist University in 2013 and his Master of Science in Clinical Counseling in 2016.

Throughout his career, Carl has served as a Crisis Counselor, Mental Health and Substance Use Therapist, and Suicide Prevention and Firearm Safety Specialist. His approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and meeting people where they are. He strives to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly address difficult experiences, recognize their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.

Carl has extensive experience in suicide prevention, crisis response, and mental health education and is an instructor in ASIST, Construction Working Minds, QPR, CPI, and CSSH. His clinical interests include anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, substance use, life transitions, and working with veterans and first responders.

Carl is also a retired U.S. Army veteran, serving on active duty from 1990–1995 and with the Missouri Army National Guard from 2011–2024, including deployments to Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Syria. His military and clinical experiences provide a unique perspective on resilience, trauma, transition, and overcoming adversity.

Outside of his professional work, Carl is a husband, father of six, and grandfather of six. He believes therapy is about more than managing symptoms—it is about helping people develop the insight, confidence, skills, and resilience to move forward and create a healthier, more fulfilling life.

If you're carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, or a past you haven't been able to fully

process, you don't have to figure it out alone. With more than five years as a Licensed Clinical

Social Worker, I work with adults and seniors who are ready to make sense of what they've been

through and start moving toward the life they want to build.


I have a particular passion for working with people navigating mood disorders like bipolar disorder,

trauma and PTSD, and the kind of emotional challenges men often face but rarely talk about. I also

work with couples who want to strengthen their connection before things fall apart.

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.
