Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


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.

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in working with individuals and families navigating high-stress situations, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Over the years, I’ve supported clients through difficult moments such as conflict within relationships, overwhelming stress, and major life changes, helping them find clarity and move forward with confidence.

In my current role, I work closely with professionals and families to problem-solve complex situations, which has strengthened my ability to listen, identify patterns, and offer practical, real-life strategies. I’ve also had extensive experience in crisis intervention, supporting individuals during some of their most overwhelming moments.

I primarily work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, anger, and life transitions. I also enjoy supporting parents who are feeling overwhelmed and looking for guidance in navigating family dynamics, and communication.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, supported, and able to work through what’s going on in a way that feels both meaningful and actionable.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Missouri

Searching for therapists in Missouri is easier when you start with the type of support you want. Missouri has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural areas, so available specialties may vary by location. You might look for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare Missouri therapists, review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience. Some therapists focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, while others may specialize in couples counseling, family counseling, or support for specific life stages.

Practical fit matters, too. If you live in Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Warrensburg, or a smaller Missouri community, consider whether in-person sessions or virtual appointments fit your schedule and location. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, therapy style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading a therapist’s bio before booking can help you understand how they structure sessions, how they describe their communication style, and whether their professional counseling experience matches what you’re looking for.

The cost of mental health care in Missouri can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors who accept insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from available in-person or virtual sessions. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. From there, you can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
