Hi, I'm Shawntelle Fisher, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) passionate about helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate life's challenges with compassion and practical tools. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, foster care and adoption, family conflict, grief, and life transitions. I offer evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs so you feel understood, supported, and hopeful about your next steps.
My ideal client is someone ready to make a change that propels them to their next chapter in life. I believe that my clients most value my ability to remain optimistic while keeping a firm grasp on reality. We all want to reach the highest levels of self actualization, but if your anxiety, depression, or ADHD are making it hard to complete daily living tasks that may feel out of reach. My diverse experience helps me accurately empathize with a variety of life issues. I have previously worked as a primary grade teacher, residential eating disorder treatment, and assisting a psychiatrist specializing in ADHD treatment for adults.
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.
My name is Chana. I'm a licensed professional counselor in practice since 2012. I obtained my degree from UMSL and subsequently earned certificates in trauma/PTSD and in couples counseling/intimate relationship skills. I have experience working with couples and families as well as adolescents and adults struggling with depression, trauma, anxiety grief and other life challenges.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in St. Louis
Searching for therapists in St. Louis starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to focus on. Therapists may support people with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare St. Louis therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or support for a specific life stage. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what sessions may focus on, and who they often work with.
St. Louis offers therapy options across neighborhoods like Central West End, Benton Park, Tower Grove, and nearby areas, as well as virtual appointments with Missouri-licensed therapists. Some people prefer an office that fits their commute or daily routine. Others choose virtual therapy in St. Louis for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong fit.
Therapy in St. Louis can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you filter by preferences like location, specialty, availability, and appointment format. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
