ADHD is my superpower and I enjoy helping clients make sense of the chaotic mind. If you are constantly overthinking before bed or feeling paralyzed by your daily to-do list, we will work together to break that cycle. I understand past experiences, often unidentified traumas, shape how we show up in present interactions. Life transitions can be difficult, and it is my pleasure to assist you whether you are changing careers, expanding or downsizing in family roles, or just trying to decide what's next. Life stressors are inevitable, but they don't have to be anxiety-filled experiences.

Amy Haas

Amy Haas

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • St. Louis, MO


Hello, and welcome! I'm Amy Haas, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, families, and veterans navigate anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and behavioral concerns.

Throughout my career, I've worked with people from many different walks of life, from youth involved in the juvenile justice system to formally incarcerated adults rebuilding their lives, as well as children and families in schools, intensive in-home programs, and community mental health. Those experiences reinforced something I believe deeply: people are far more than the hardest thing they've been through or the labels they've been given.

I believe meaningful therapy starts with authenticity, trust, and genuine connection. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel understood, build on your strengths, and create lasting positive change.

Therapist

Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, physical health concerns, or trying to navigate a major life transition. You may feel stuck, emotionally exhausted, uncertain about the future, or disconnected from yourself and the life you want to create. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors facing anxiety, depression, women's issues, identity concerns, family stress, physical health challenges, grief and loss, panic symptoms, trauma, and major life changes. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking a supportive space where they can better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier ways of coping. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, identify strengths that may have been overlooked, and build practical tools that support healing, resilience, and meaningful personal growth. My goal is to help you feel more confident, empowered, and capable of navigating life's challenges while creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

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.

If you keep finding yourself in the same arguments, the same shutdowns, or the same loop of feeling more reactive than you want to be, you are not broken. There is often a younger version of you driving the bus in those moments. I work with teens, adults, and women navigating relationship strain, family of origin patterns, anxiety, and grief, including the kind that does not involve a death. Clients describe me as warm, steady, and easy to talk to, and they often say I notice what they did not realize they were sharing.
