Hi There! Having lived through a number of difficult experiences I understand the challenges in continuing to share your vulnerabilities with the world. These experiences lead us to hide our pain thinking it will be easier if others cannot see them. In reality, each time we hide our pain we dismiss a part of ourselves that is aching to be seen. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri and Colorado, and a Women's Empowerment Life Coach, I understand the importance of guiding women towards their internal strengths, building trust, and exploring their personal authenticity. My work is centered in supporting women through the twists and turns of self-discovery. In working with me, women discover and rediscover parts of themselves that they have buried, lost, or are unknown. I focus on education, elevation, and empowerment. Through my work women are encouraged to take control, reclaim their inherent freedom, and cultivate support that lights a path to the new woman they are becoming. My eclectic approach entwines 12 years of education and experience to help you identify obstacles in your life while steering you towards your goals. I specialize in issues related to anxiety, family conflict, relationship challenges, self-esteem, communication and trauma. As a clinician, my journey has afforded me three key insights; a better understanding of the human condition, how trauma can impact our perceptions of our capabilities, and that the human spirit is resilient beyond imaginable belief. Reach out to me if you are ready to begin your unique journey to healing. **Scheduling: Currently I have availability on Mondays and Tuesdays late mornings/early afternoon. Please be aware of this before moving forward. Periodically their will be other availability. For potential clients outside of the continental US, if you do not see a preferred time, please make contact.

Welcome. I’m Rhonda Palmer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience, 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. Therapy with me isn’t about being “good” or getting it “right.” It’s about building something honest and sustainable. 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.

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I am a licensed professional counselor who loves to help individuals experience and maintain emotional health. I have 13 years of counseling experience in private practice settings. Life is hard and navigating through emotional pain and stress can be more than most people can handle alone. Counseling offers those who are hurting the opportunity to have another person walk with them in their pain, offering support and guidance. My counseling style is non-judgmental and very relational, offering hope and grace to all in the midst of their brokenness and struggles. I work with a wide variety of clients and issues with a special focus in the areas of self-esteem/self-worth and grief/loss due to death, divorce, life transitions, or unfulfilled life expectations. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
