Breckenridge Hills, Missouri began as a sole proprietorship of the Spanish land grants in the 1770s. The first settlers were a Canadian family named Honoré. Most of the property in and around the area has been passed down from person-to-person or family-to-family. The original Saint Charles Road was an Indian trail leading to the village of the Missouris Indians. In 1772, the road led to the ferry on the Missouri River that linked Saint Charles and Saint Louis. The area in and around Breckenridge Hills is a mecca for nature lovers and skiers and boasts accommodations that fit every pocket.
If you feel lost or alone, despite the number of people around you, perhaps it is time to contact a licensed and confidential mental health professional in the Breckenridge Hills area. They are ready to listen to you and help you define and achieve your goals. Consider matching with a nearby counselor today.

Our world has become so fast-paced and complicated that feeling stressed and disconnected has become an almost constant state. We often hold back even from family and friends, knowing that they each hold their own worries and pain. I am a Clinical Social Worker currently licensed in Missouri and Illinois; I have 20+ years of experience working with individuals and families facing depression, anxiety, grief and many other mood-related challenges as well as stress from parenting, employment, school, relationships and money (or the lack). I work from a Person Centered approach, believing in the inherent worth and dignity of every person and each person's inherent ability to heal and grow. No problem is too big or too small for a listening ear and an open heart. Together we can find your strength and your hope.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri and have been helping individuals seek life solutions for over 10 years. I enjoy helping clients work on a variety of issues but am especially passionate about helping women overcome issues related to anxiety and life changes (relationship, motherhood, menopause, etc). Methods that I have found particularly effective for clients in therapy include but are not limited to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention. For couples and relationship therapy I draw from the Gottman Method to guide the progression. Each client is unique and therapy is planned around the client’s needs and goals. I feel that trust in the therapeutic relationship is the basis for our work together and we will start out investing time to build that relationship. I am hopeful that through a strong therapeutic alliance and evidence-based methods we can make excellent progress toward your goals. Let’s work together to find joy and value in your life that you never thought possible!

Thank you for checking out my profile, and congratulations on taking the next step improving your quality of life! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri. I completed by BSW at Missouri Western State University in 2013, my MSW from Park University in 2015, and my clinical supervision in 2020. In my time as a social worker I have worked in foster care, domestic violence, and outpatient mental health. I previously worked as an outpatient therapist 8-5 Monday through Friday, but I noticed something- so do a lot of other people. By providing services through BetterHelp, I can help those who have been left out of traditional therapy due to the struggle of scheduling therapy during work hours. This also applies to those of you who are parents- I am a single mom to two amazing kids... so I know about the work/ parent/ self-care balance. I also spend a lot of time reading, and have probably cried/ laughed/ loved some of your favorite characters and authors, so lets chat about it. Sometimes the way art imitates life can be a great path towards healing. My passion is teaming with individuals to help them identify triggers that are negatively impacting their quality of life, and then identifying and developing skills for managing those triggers. Whether it is trauma, behavioral, or mental health, I believe therapy is a great tool to help bridge the gap between where life is now and where you would like to see life go. I have experience with CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, all which showcase themselves in my warm, strengths based approach. I believe therapy is a partnership, and that success is best found when both of us are committed to the goals you identify for yourself! Thank you for considering me as your partner in this journey.

Hi! I’m Nina one of my specialties is trauma. In my experience depression and anxiety are secondary to the trauma caused by unresolved issues. Are you exhausted, overworked and overwhelmed by just the stress of living? Do you often internalize those feelings and talk to yourself as if you were a horrible human being? I can help. I understand what it’s like to feel misunderstood in a world filled with overwhelming decisions and responsibilities. I will work with you to understand why it’s so difficult to navigate the world of emotional chaos and teach you how to regulate your emotions. I will support and assist you in finding your unique talents and self identity. I will help you set and reach your goals.
