I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed by the weight of responsibility and emotions they’ve been holding alone, some for a long time. They are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, relationship stress, or trauma that keep showing up in current life in ways they don’t fully understand. They want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to themselves — not constantly reacting from fear, guilt, or survival mode. Their goal isn’t just to “cope,” but to actually heal and create a life that feels peaceful, balanced,and aligned with who they are. They want clarity — to understand what’s happening inside them and why.

Stephanie Hanneken

Stephanie Hanneken

Therapist

Virtual • Chesterfield, MO


Most therapists treat what’s happening in your mind. I also look at what’s happening in your body.

I believe our brain is arguably the most important organ in the body — it is the command center for everything else. So why do we not put more emphasis on its health, and the ripple effect it has on our body and our lives? This question is at the heart of everything I do.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR-trained therapist, and Certified Personal Trainer. I graduated from Lindenwood University in Missouri with my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in 2012, and founded Inspire Change Counseling in 2014 with a vision of creating a truly integrative approach to mental health care — one where clients receive a multi-disciplinary scope of care, not just a referral for medication.

Brooke Shivers

Therapist

Virtual • Springfield, MO


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I earned a bachelor’s degree in education in 2003 and a master’s degree in counseling in 2005, both from Missouri State University.

For the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to work with students and parents, in high school, middle school and elementary settings, as an educator and Professional School Counselor. Over the years, I have also worked with many struggling youth during my role as a Missouri Options Liaison, as well as a Community Service Liaison, providing outreach in the community. More recently, I received court mediator training, which provided new insight into conflict resolution procedures. Prior to counseling, I was an elementary teacher, working with students to help them achieve academic goals, while also facilitating emotional growth, and social awareness as well.

For over 20 years I have worked with students of all ages, as well as many parents and families. I specialize in helping one navigate the neurodivergent brain, anxiety and depression in adolescent youth, family counseling, couple’s counseling, emotional and social struggles, as well as adults working through childhood trauma.
