Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Springfield, MO covered by Cigna

Hi, I’m Natasha, a practicing therapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges.

Over the years, I’ve supported clients through struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and family dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make real, lasting changes.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Clients often share that they value my ability to listen deeply, provide fresh perspectives, and offer tools they can use in daily life.

If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with nearly two decades of professional experience, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth, clarity, and healing.

Welcome. I’m Jessica Wilkins, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting your truth, your story, and your growth. Since 2012, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other life challenges. My mission is to reduce the stigma around mental health and expand access to compassionate, meaningful care.

There are seasons in our life when we realize that we need help. This isn’t because something is wrong with us, but rather a choice to not let life tear us down. As life changes, we can become overwhelmed, feel misunderstood, experience anxious thoughts, worry, and have fear of the unknown.While some people may brush these feelings off and ignore them, you chose to recognize them and do something about it. I’m proud of you and am happy to support you on this journey, because I too have been there.

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.

Systemic Support: Navigating foster care, adoption, divorce, family and/or sibling dynamics, behavioral struggles, and school avoidance.

I came to train and serve as a counselor after being helped by counseling in my 40s. Sometimes reaching out for help and making changes in life is scary and overwhelming. Sometimes we need support as we navigate these changes. I love to support my clients as they make life-giving changes.

My name is Chana. I'm a licensed professional counselor in practice since 2012.

If you're dealing with anxiety that won't let up, a life change that's left you off-balance, or relationship tension that keeps getting in the way — I can help. After 10 years as a school social worker in St. Louis, I know what it looks like when people are overwhelmed, and what it actually takes to move through it. Today I work with adults navigating similar territory: the pressure that builds quietly, the transitions that feel harder than expected, the moments in relationships that leave you stuck. My focus is on making therapy practical, grounded, and worth your time.
