Hello, my name is Casey French and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Through guidance, encouragement and support, I have helped clients of all ages and backgrounds discover a better quality of life. My main area of focus is first responders; police, fire, EMS, and military personnel that work in crisis everyday and that live in a constant state of alertness. Transitioning back into "normal" life with family and friends can be difficult. Not only can asking for help be stressful, but finding the time can be all but impossible. Being able to reach out to someone at times that work best for you is critical and is why I began working with Betterhelp. Are you seeking relief from depression, anxiety, frustrations in relationships, low self esteem? My goal is to provide a safe and supportive setting where you can explore your deepest questions and to help you find ways to become more confident and comfortable in the world. My approach is collaborative and eclectic although I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I will seek to understand you as a unique individual and tailor my approach to what works for you. I am experienced and dedicated to working with you in overcoming the obstacles that cause you distress and to create a more balanced and satisfying life. Let me help you take the first step in accepting your past, living in your present, and changing your future.

Hello! If you are reading this then it means you are somewhere along the way to seeking therapy - welcome, it's great you are here! Making the decision to talk through personal challenges and struggles with someone takes courage and while it can be a hard step to take, it opens the door to positive and profound change. If you are looking to heal, let's talk. If you are struggling with life transitions or challenges that seem insurmountable, let's talk. If you are wanting to gain a fresh perspective or make some difficult changes, let's talk. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri and have been providing mental health support there and overseas since 2009. I have worked in a variety of settings including outreach centers for survivors of violence, a university counseling center and private practice, and have had the opportunity to work with people of all ages and various nationalities. I practice using a strengths-based approach, focusing on a person's resilience and building on the strengths they possess (we all have strengths, sometimes we are just so overwhelmed by life we are not able to see them clearly). Over the course of therapy I incorporate elements of cognitive behavioral, trauma-focused, solution focused and person-centered therapy. Therapy is not one size fits all and thus the therapeutic process is tailored to meet individual needs. It is truly a privilege to be present with someone on their path of self-discovery and change and I look forward to working with you.

Hello, my name is Dr. Tess DeProw. I have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I have helped many people struggling with depression, drug addiction, relationship breakups, childhood trauma, parenting issues and anxiety. I will work with you to help you identify what your personal strengths are and together we will develop a plan to improve the quality of your life. I used several different therapeutic approaches: cognitive-behavioral therapy, strength-based therapy, motivational interviewing and narrative therapy. All of the tools I use are designed to empower you and help you see that you do have choices as to how we handle the situations that we are faced with. Sometimes the fear of change is scarier than the change itself. My personal counseling style is warm, empathetic, encouraging and empowering.

I graduated with my undergraduate degree in psychology and my master’s degree in professional counseling, both from Lindenwood University. In my professional career, prior to being a therapist, I worked in the fields of vocational rehabilitation, pain management, drug and alcohol addiction, and applied behavior analysis. My practicum for my Master’s degree was completed at Northwest High School, where I held group sessions for at-risk youth and provided individual crisis counseling to students. I was a professor of undergraduate introductory psychology at Jefferson College and continue to see clients through my private practice. Our problems, concerns and struggles in life often cannot be reduced to a simple diagnosis. As human beings navigating a constantly evolving and sometimes difficult world, we are accumulations of our experiences, patterns, skills, and desires. We sometimes need to enhance our abilities to cope or gain insight through seeing a different perspective, but we all have the innate ability to grow and heal ourselves. As a therapist, my goal is to assist you in attaining your desired outcomes and reaching a point of contentment in your life. I work with a variety of individuals in an effort to help them sort through their thoughts, identify their feelings, and honor their present experience. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, incorporating person-centered and solution-focused models, as well as Gestalt’s techniques, and ACT to empower and challenge my clients to reach their goals. While the needs that I see are varied, acceptance, understanding, and intentional focus on growth make my approach universally applicable. I hope that my studies and passion can help you on your journey to attain the calm, light, and fulfilling life we all work for and deserve. Take care and be well!

Do you want a therapist who takes your needs and concerns seriously and actually calls you back? Are you seeking someone who will encourage you toward positive change and follow up on things that I say I will? That's me. I’m Denise Mason, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Missouri. I have been licensed since 2019 and have worked my entire 29-year career helping those with mental health issues. I have experience helping adults and youth with a variety of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, and difficulty adjusting to various challenges life can present. I use an eclectic approach to therapy that includes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Enhancement, Insight-Oriented Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My approach involves helping my clients understand themselves and increasing their skills to better manage their distress so they can feel and function well. Change is difficult without awareness, so I will work to help you increase your self-awareness. Awareness is difficult when you can’t think straight due to depression, anxiety, or other stressors, so working to calm the nervous system is an important part of our work together as well. I’m passionate about helping my clients feel heard and understood while providing the tools and skills necessary for self-empowerment toward their healing journey. I prioritize building a collaborative relationship with my clients to assist them in making lasting changes. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist with experience helping with relationship difficulties, trauma, work-related challenges, educational and disability-related issues, and important life transitions. I believe in treating everyone with respect, kindness, sensitivity, and compassion and will tailor our dialog and treatment to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to step toward living a more authentic and fulfilling life. I would love to support & empower you in that journey. I received my Master’s in Psychology from the University of Central Missouri, which included an internship working with sexual trauma survivors at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital in Kansas City. I coordinated support and services for individuals with developmental disabilities through the Missouri Department of Mental Health for 11 years. Many of my clients also struggled with mental health and substance use issues. I transferred to the Department of Education, where I provided vocational counseling for 16 years. In this setting, I assisted youth and adults with a variety of mental health, learning, and physical challenges to achieve their career aspirations by providing counseling to help them overcome barriers. Most recently, I have provided intensive outpatient group and individual therapy in a hospital setting to older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and suicidal thoughts. I have truly valued the opportunity to help every person throughout the years. On a more personal note, I’m on a continual journey of self-discovery and learning every day to promote my wellness, fulfillment, and personal happiness. I approach life with a growth mindset and the understanding we can all learn, pivot, and make adjustments to improve our lives. Learning never stops. I won’t pretend to know all of the answers, but I commit to helping you work toward finding yours.
