Margaret utilizes her background as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Functional Medicine Health Coach and a Certified Life Coach to provide various evidence-based modalities to permanently remove mental roadblocks that are stopping you from achieving the success you KNOW you are capable of. Do you find yourself saying yes when you are screaming NO inside? Do you wonder what happened to that passionate person I’ve always dreamed of becoming? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Do you ever wonder how come change is Soooo hard? Do you say to yourself if my bad habit is so bad for me, why oh why, can't I stop? Our subconscious mind controls over 90% of our thoughts and actions. The subconscious mind stores unprocessed emotions that accumulate over time and can show up as physical symptoms and stress. I can assist you to transform fear into courage, dis-ease into wellness, pain into power, and chaos into clarity by safely processing emotions that have been stuck in your subconscious mind. Some areas I specialize in are: Emotional Eating, Chronic Illness, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Life Transitions, and more. I help you heal your hunger: Emotional eating is a mindset problem, not a diet nor exercise problem. It is a powerful and effective way to find temporary relief from many of life’s challenges. One of my specialties is assisting smart, busy professional women break cycles with emotional eating, overeating, and stress – not by hard work and willpower, but by identifying the root cause of your hunger, I will assist you to heal your heart: Another area of specialty is assisting you eliminate self-doubt (imposter syndrome), self-sabotage and negative self-talk. I will assist you to heal your habits: I teach you and guide you through the four step process of changing your habits so they work for you instead of against you. I will always take a stand for you moving beyond what’s keeping you small or stuck – in your thinking, your behavior, your beliefs, or in the world. Growth is challenging, and change can feel awkward and painful, but numbness, avoidance, and defensiveness only keep us trapped – or worse. My core values are compassion, open-mindedness, a passionate belief in growth and possibility, and deep respect for our humanity. I look forward to talking with you.

Hello- I have been a licensed LPC counselor in Missouri for the past five years and was recently licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, District of Columbia, Maine, and Virginia. Working with individuals, families, and couples has provided me with the ability to assist individuals throughout many aspects of their lives. I have had training in DBT, CBT, EMD-R and continue to grow my therapeutic knowledge through self-training and through clinical training. I have had the pleasure of working in many different fields throughout my life time and feel this has provided me with the ability to look at situations from a variety of different perspectives. I firmly believe that when a person makes the choice to make changes in their life then they are on the path to becoming who they want to be. I look forward to hearing from you and assisting you with determining who you want to be. Thank you, Savannah Harness, LPC

Welcome. I’m Rhonda Palmer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience in the field of social work, licensed in Missouri, Texas, and Arizona. I support clients navigating anxiety, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, neurodivergent experiences (including autism and ADHD), and more. As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional and Autism Spectrum Clinical Specialist, I care deeply about walking with people as they build resilience, release old patterns, and reconnect with their most authentic selves. I believe healing happens in connection but it also requires presence, honesty, and a willingness to grow through the hard stuff, not just around it. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and real. Therapy with me isn’t about being “good” or getting it “right.” It’s about showing up as you are, messy, imperfect, honest, and ready to build something that’s real, grounded, and sustainable for you. There’s no need to meet anyone’s expectations or fit into a mold. Instead, we work together to create a space that feels safe, where you can explore your truth and grow at your own pace. I work best with clients who are open to reflection, accountability, and meaningful change. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself to feel safe or accepted, I want you to know that therapy can be different. This space is for people who are ready to engage in the work of healing honestly and with curiosity, not for performance or perfection. I welcome people who may have masked their truth, questioned their worth, or felt out of place in systems not built for them. I don’t view autism or ADHD as flaws to be fixed but as valid, valuable, and deeply human ways of experiencing the world. In our work together, I’ll meet you with care and curiosity while also supporting the kind of change that doesn’t come from quick fixes. I draw from evidence based practices like CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Solution Focused Therapy. I’m also training in Brainspotting, a powerful body based approach for emotional healing especially when words don’t quite reach it. As a licensed therapist with personal lived experience of ADHD, PTSD, and GAD, I bring empathy and understanding alongside professional expertise to support your healing journey. I offer a space rooted in mutual respect, emotional safety, and the belief that you already hold the wisdom you need, and that we’re just finding it together. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” — Albert Einstein “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” — Nelson Mandela If you’re ready for this kind of work, I welcome you.

Peace of Mind...You deserve it! Many people say they want to feel content and in control of their lives. I work with individuals who want to make changes and experience more enrichment and satisfaction. Therapy is a relationship that is safe, non-judgmental, warm, and rewarding; a way to find peace. Therapy can provide insight and new perspectives into life's challenges and can help open up new possibilities and options for approaching difficult situations. Some of the benefits available from therapy include: * Developing new skills for handling stress and anxiety * Modifying unhealthy behaviors and self-defeating patterns * Increasing confidence and overall quality of life * Enhancing new ways to manage anger, depression and moods. I am a licensed professional counselor and board certified art therapist working for the past 25 years with individuals of all ages. I primarily use evidence based techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused, trauma focused CBT or a combination depending on the need of the individual. Being an art therapist, I also use the creative therapies to gain insight in a non-verbal way as images are sometimes easier than words. I have experience in Play Therapy, Sand Tray and Theraplay. In essence, I begin where you are and tailor the treatment approach to your need. I am will be sensitive to how your individual life experiences impact your decisions and beliefs. This is a journey we will take together to increase your quality of life!

I am a clinical social worker in Missouri who has over 14 years of experience providing therapeutic services. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a diverse group of clients from different ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. They’ve struggled with an equally diverse set of challenges. Some of the issues I’ve worked with most frequently have been relationship and communication issues. Additionally, I work with people struggling with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, low self-esteem and low self-confidence. Some of the clients I see regularly have been diagnosed with adjustment disorder, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, bi-polar disorder, etc. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, as well as a mindfulness-based approach. I work with clients on setting goals, and together, we take baby steps toward reaching those goals. In the process of reaching your personal goals, you’ll learn ways to recognize what triggers your negative moods, and how your thoughts, behaviors, and moods are all directly related to one another. I practice a comforting, conversational approach to therapy. My goal is to make you feel safe, secure, and free to discuss your concerns and worries. We’ll work together to create a therapeutic relationship that is encouraging, inspiring, and teaches you effective coping skills to ensure you are successful in your everyday life.
