Therapists in Saint Peters, MO

Feelings and emotions, ugh. They can make or break our day sometimes. It’s ok, let’s talk about it. Life is hard, but you do not have to do it alone. Everyday burdens can feel unbearable or too hard to manage on your own. It takes alot of courage to take the first step and ask for help. You are searching for a therapist because you know something has to change, you want to feel better, you need to overcome things in your life that have held you back. There is no better time than today to make yourself a priority, grow, and become your best self. My goal is to meet you wherever you are and help you achieve the life you want.

I love working with children, parents, and adult women with a variety of issues. I am a trauma focused therapist and will walk beside a client through difficult and life changing processes. I am so grateful for all the people who want to better their lives and are reaching out to me. Please EMAIL or TEXT me for session inquiries.

As a sex addiction therapist, trained EMDR clinician, and nationally certified psychotherapist, I work with individuals struggling with intense urges, emotions, and conflict. New clients come to me feeling isolated, in pain, and on edge due to having nowhere to express their toughest emotions. Many grew up in a traumatic family of origin with messages like "Suck it up" and "Don't cry" being taught to them. My clients come to me to say the things that they couldn't otherwise say to anyone else.

I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling abilities and an understanding of interpersonal familial relationships. I have experience leading clients through their struggles with interpersonal issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Through clinical experience, compassion, and empathy I support and assist those willing to make a positive difference in their lives.

Anyone who walks through my door is showing strength and courage in stepping outside of their comfort zone. If you are one of them, I will encourage you to build up your "tool box" of helpful information and reflections to keep for life.

Change is possible and hope always exists. I create a therapeutic environment of acceptance with no judgement so that change and growth can occur. My ideal client will realize that something in their life is not working and they want to figure it out and make things better. They want to experience happiness, purpose and peace in their life. Taking that first step toward counseling is challenging but benefits will include increased self-esteem, better relationships, a clearer understanding of self, increased productivity and a greater ability to deal with stress.

Congratulations! You have just taken the first step on your journey of personal growth and healing! In therapy, you will discover a place where you can share your experiences and process feelings without fear of judgement. I counsel couples and adults in a comfortable, confidential atmosphere. I am a dedicated professional and I take pride in my ability to provide highly personalized strategies to meet your unique needs. I look forward to meeting with you, and to joining you on your journey of growth and healing.

Everyday life isn’t supposed to feel quite this hard or overwhelming, right? Maybe you wish you could manage your emotions or stress better. Perhaps something awful or painful happened that has you wondering if you'll ever feel "normal" or well again. Hi, my name is Deborah and I have the honor of empowering people on their courageous journeys to find ease and joy in living again. Join me in a safe and affirming space to gain insight on the origins of your struggles and find lasting healing. I offer in-person sessions in my O'Fallon office, or online telehealth sessions.

I work with people who have trouble regulating emotion. I am skilled in several different types of therapy, however, I have a significant amount of advanced training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Gottman Method couples therapy.

Now offering EMDR intensives - one large block of EMDR to overcome a significant portion of trauma in one session. Self-pay only for these sessions and clients must not have high safety risks. Standard sessions still available. Do you need to find peace of mind? Are you ready to find a sense of calm and happiness in your life? I help people learn to manage stress more effectively, establish stable social support networks, use coping skills to gain emotional well-being, rewire old ways of thinking/feeling, and resolve any past events that are still weighing you down. I help people overcome PTSD and resolve anxiety without medication.

The foundation to my approach of counseling, is that clients have to put in the work when they make the decision to start; this is how clients will be the most successful in their journey. Counseling can be messy, and the most impactful thing I can do for my clients is hold space, bring things into awareness that they might be missing, and find different, more effective ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

I am a licensed clinical therapist specializing in trauma and attachment. I have served a variety of populations and have extensive experience working with pervasive mental health diagnoses, identity development processes, trauma, and holistic wellness practices. My approach integrates a variety of therapeutic theories and techniques to build individual service plans that facilitate deep self-exploration, understanding, and skill building to help clients achieve their goals.

The decision to seek therapy involves more than a willingness to grow - It also requires the ability to develop a healthy therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and unconditional acceptance. Creating a healthy and supportive relationship allows the client to discover more about themselves and creates an environment for change.

As a woman, you experience the intense anxiety of being the "perfect" spouse, parent, and/or adult child. You may be tired of feeling unseen, unheard, and alone.
