Since 2005 I have worked with people struggling with addiction, depression, bipolar/mood disorder, stress/anxiety/fear, relationship problems, psychosis/schizophrenia, grief, anger, and communication problems. Let me help you - I have a relaxed but professional approach, and I prefer a solution - focused approach. The goal is to help you figure out how to get where you want to be in the here and now, not ruminate about what happened years ago. I utilize several evidence based approaches and techniques in my practice. If you have questions about specifics, please feel free to contact me to ask. It is essential to keep in mind that counseling is not a magic pill. Counseling is a process that requires participation and work from the patient and counselor alike. Change may not happen overnight, but it shouldn't take years, either. Making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results, as long as you are committed to the process and the work.

Hello. My name is Ruth Carter and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years experience in this field. Before becoming a counselor, I was a teacher who found many of her students in need of emotional guidance as well as intellectual development. I began to think that if I was going to help my students, I needed to know more. I left teaching to seek a degree in Counseling. Over the years, I have seen people whose problems ranged from making a tough decision to changing their life; people who suffered from a situational depression to a major mental illness; people who struggled with poor decision making to living with an all consuming addiction. No change is easy, but they are possible. Talking with a therapist is not easy for most people, and I applaud your decision to reach out. I have been trained in different therapeutic approaches, but my primary job is to listen. I must also provide you with a safe environment for your explorations. I will always treat you with respect and compassion. And sometimes I will challenge your thinking. Together we will find meaningful and useful strategies within your strengths that deal with your concerns. Whether or not you come to see me, I am pleased that you are seeking assistance. I wish the very best for you.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri (LCSW) and in Kansas (LSCSW) and have provided therapy services for 16 years to individuals, couples, and families with a client-centered approach. I listen first before jumping in with any suggestions. You are the expert on you and your situation and I offer options from which you can choose. I also believe if you are not getting what you need in therapy, you have a right and obligation to let me know so we can find a solution that works for you. If you need something that I cannot provide, a referral will be made to someone with that particular training. I believe in short-term therapy to reach the goals you are looking to achieve. My expertise includes working with those struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, marital conflict, mid-life crises, aging, grief and loss, parenting issues, and faith-based issues. I provide a non-judgmental approach and encourage self-esteem and improved communication to have the life we all need and deserve. Thank you again for considering me as a possible source of help.
