I am a therapist and strategic behavioral‐health leader with more than a decade of experience supporting youth, families, and adults navigating complex trauma, transition, and systems involvement. My background spans emergency shelter work, foster‐care transition programs, community‐based counseling, and clinical supervision of multidisciplinary teams.

Clients often describe me as steady, collaborative, and deeply attuned to the stories people carry. I bring a trauma‐informed lens to every interaction, honoring the resilience people develop in the face of adversity. My work is shaped by years of program development, crisis intervention, and advocacy for underserved communities — and by a belief that healing grows in environments where people feel seen, safe, and respected.

Oscar McKinley

Oscar McKinley

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I'm Oscar McKinley, a doctoral-level therapist with 13 years of experience helping people cut through the noise and get to what's actually going on. I'm a Black man licensed in Kansas and Missouri, and I work with a wide range of people — individuals, couples, families, and children from infancy through adulthood. I'm trained in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma, PCIT for parent-child relationships, CBT, Gestalt, and family systems therapy. My style is direct without being rigid, and warm without being soft. I earned my EdD from Nova Southeastern University and my master's from Liberty University. I believe that good therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a performance.

Jake Wilmes- Journey Psyche Profile

Through years of practice treating adults with acute and chronic mental health

diagnoses, he has developed an effective, patient-centered approach to treating

psychiatric symptoms. Jake has a strong background in treating individuals

experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and various other psychiatric

related concerns.

Approach/Style

My focused approach to psychiatric care utilizes compassionate, collaborative, and

patient-centered style of patient care. I believe every patient is unique and presents with

their own distinctive treatment needs when providing psychiatric care. I strive to create a

welcoming, non-judgmental environment where each person feels heard, respected,

and understood. I believe patients should be active participants in their care, and I work

alongside them to develop individualized treatment plans that align with their own

distinctive goals, values, and expected treatment outcomes.

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.

Stephanie Jenkins

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


As a therapist for adolescents, teens, and young adults, my goal is to be a steady and supportive presence as they work through the unique struggles that come with growing up. I understand the pressures, uncertainties, and opportunities that each stage of life brings, and I’m dedicated to helping my clients build the skills and self-awareness needed to navigate their individual paths. With a collaborative and non-judgmental approach, I encourage open communication, self-expression, and personal empowerment, creating a space where each client can feel heard and valued.

Outside of my professional role, you can often find me lost in the pages of a good book, seeking inspiration and new perspectives. I thrive on adventure, whether it’s exploring the great outdoors or embarking on spontaneous journeys. At home, I find solace in the company of my beloved pets, whose unconditional love and companionship bring joy to my everyday life. These passions enrich my work as a therapist, reminding me daily of the importance of balance, curiosity, and meaningful connections.

If you’re a teen, young adult, or parent looking for support during these uncertain times, know that help is just a click away. Therapy can be a powerful tool in building the skills and confidence needed to thrive, no matter what challenges come your way. Begin your journey of self-discovery and growth in a space where you can truly be yourself. Let’s work together to create a future that feels hopeful, empowered, and authentic.
