I am proud to work with fellow healthcare professionals, individuals from different cultural backgrounds, individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone who is new to therapy or has tried therapy before but without success. I believe in meeting clients where they are. I view my job as being your guide to better manage symptoms that represent barriers to you moving forward in your life, following a path determined by your personal values.
You can be successful, capable, and still feel like your mind is working against you. Anxiety may have you replaying conversations for hours, ADHD can make everyday responsibilities feel unnecessarily difficult, or obsessive thoughts may leave you questioning things you know shouldn’t need this much attention. You might also be navigating your sexuality, feeling caught between who you are and what your family expects, or noticing depression pulling you away from relationships and things you once enjoyed. I work with adults, teens, couples, and families who want to understand why these patterns keep happening instead of simply learning to tolerate them. You deserve a space where your identity and experiences are understood without judgment. Together, we’ll work toward feeling more comfortable with yourself and more connected to the people who matter to you.
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.
(Insurance is accepted for individual counseling but not for couples and family counseling)
I work with individuals aged 15 and older who are facing anxiety, depression, low-self-esteem, and many other difficulties. The individuals I see are experiencing these challenges as a result of the negative impacts of current or past relationships, or situations that cause repeated exposure to other people's trauma.
As a therapist, I have a deep passion for supporting others through their journey towards general wellbeing. I place strong emphasis on total holistic wellness as well as creating a safe, inclusive and nonjudgemental space as we work together to help you overcome roadblocks and achieve your goals.
Hi, I'm Joanie! If you're feeling weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or painful life experiences, you don't have to navigate them alone. Trauma can leave you feeling stuck in the past, constantly on edge, or wondering why certain emotions and reactions seem so difficult to control. My approach is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults to better understand how past experiences continue to shape their lives today while helping them build the insight, confidence, and tools needed to move forward in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
Patients in Missouri often look for clear guidance, fast access, and thoughtful medication support. My focus is helping adults understand their mental health symptoms and finding the right treatment plan that works for their life.
I specialize in psychiatric medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions. Many of my patients come in feeling overwhelmed or unsure about medications, and my goal is to make the process simple, collaborative, and comfortable.
I work with patients across Missouri through secure telehealth visits so you can receive care from the comfort of your home. My approach is practical and focused — we work together to identify what is happening, review treatment options, and build a plan that helps you feel better and function better in daily life.
Whether you’re starting treatment for the first time or looking to adjust your current medications, I aim to provide clear guidance and thoughtful care every step of the way.
I'm here to assist my clients to achieve goals and adapt coping skills by using client-focused tools which are evidence-based. I operate in the spirit of excellence and professionalism with everyone regardless of age, gender, race, social-economic status, or sexual identity. I will create a wellness plan specific to each client's individual needs.
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.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in both inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient therapy. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Missouri State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, client-centered care.
My background includes working with individuals across a range of needs, from acute crisis stabilization to ongoing therapeutic support. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, self-harm, anger, aggression, and oppositional defiant behaviors. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I frequently use to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical coping strategies.
