Clayton Therapists specializing in Anxiety

Emily Lombardo

I provide individual therapy & love collaborating & working with tweens, teens & young adults who are navigating this transitional period of exploration. It is normal for big feelings to accompany change & growth- supporting young people as they attempt to cope with those feelings can make all the difference. My integrative approach to therapy is relational, strengths based, and nonjudgemental. I prefer incorporating multiple modalities to best cultivate a space of collaboration, trust, & vulnerability that is unique to each individual. After working in school-based settings for 9 years, I have specific expertise in the transition from middle to high school as well as high school to post-secondary programs of all kinds. In addition to transition support, I also have experience processing grief, anxiety, body image/disordered eating concerns, communication and relationship issues, and improving self worth.

Clients come to me looking for a therapist who understands them on a deeper level, because therapy should be a place where you feel validated and safe. Sessions with me are relaxed and tailored to your needs. Together, we get to the root of anxiety and find solutions. And we always go at your pace, never pushing to a place you don’t feel ready to be. As an experienced anxiety therapist, I believe we can partner together to find solutions that bring relief and make life feel bigger and brighter. You don’t have to continue tolerating anxiety and fear, and you don’t have to do it alone. Call me today for a free 15-minute consult. I can’t wait to hear from you.

Regina Whittington

As a therapist and helping professional, it is my passion to work with other people in the field. I know firsthand the benefits of feeling inspired and energized at work and how that transcends into a sustainable sense of well-being. I want to help you rediscover a sense of satisfaction and renew your energy so you can keep doing the work you love and remain healthy while doing it. My approach encompasses mind, body, and spirit and is intended to help you draw out your meaning, purpose, and connection so you can live a more fulfilled life. I am not afraid to think outside the box and can appreciate when things don’t work out quite the way they were initially imagined. Bottom line, I introduce ideas and concepts but the change happens with you and what you determine makes the most sense for your life. I honor the energy and work you put in to experience those changes.

Justin Hampton

My work and relationship with each client is unique and guided by their needs. Being trauma-informed and striving towards cultural competency is important to me and I find that does make a difference in how helpful I can be with my clients. I continue adding to an extensive list of training and continuing education that I'd be happy to discuss further- but the bulk of my therapy approach would best be described as skills-based (most often Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/CBT) within a client-centered, attachment-focused relationship. Our treatment is begun and guided by agreed-upon goals. We often discuss how perspective, assumptions, and self-imposed narratives create distress in our lives. Lastly, it is common for clients to have "action plans" outside of the therapy session to work on relevant goals. Overall, I view therapy as a collaboration used to facilitate growth, change, and create a more fulfilling, values-driven life.

Jessica Rosenberg

I've worked with adults and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, trauma, & stress. My approach assists clients in exploring the source of their problems, and implementing mindfulness, CBT, & EMDR based strategies. I approach each session with compassion & empathy, offering a safe space where clients can succeed.

David M. Harris

I founded Positive By Design LLC to create a strategic network of independent clinicians and coaches skilled in several aspects of overall well-being - mind, body, and spirit. It has been my desire to have a trusted referral base to meet many of the needs of particularly the St. Louis region. Each of my associates are highly skilled and unique in their promotion of well-being. We all believe that Positive Design, as an overarching concept, is beneficial to well-being. I have been working with clients in various settings for 20+ years. I cherish the opportunity to learn, teach, support, and challenge through my client's greatest hardships and most brilliant moments. My style is interactive and supportive, yet challenging. I emphasize an eclectic approach, adapting a variety of therapeutic approaches that focus on my clients' daily interactions. I also specialize in performance and leadership coaching for athletes, educators, and business executives.

Laura Ranalletta

I provide a warm, nonjudgmental and highly collaborative space for my clients to explore, learn, grow and heal. I expect you to do hard things in therapy, and you can expect me to be there every step of the way, supporting you wholeheartedly. In my work, I draw from various evidenced based therapeutic approaches (CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR) and weave them together as a way to personalize your therapy experience. Human existence is inherently unique for each of us, and that means a uniquely tailored approach to therapy is important. Life isn’t linear, and neither is therapy. Aside from being a therapist, I’m also a flawed human being, as I expect you are too. I make mistakes, I have bad days, and I have my own biases that require regular checking. My willingness to share my humanness and truly accept the humanness in others is part of what sets me apart as a therapist. It allows me to build strong, trusting relationships with clients, an essential part of therapeutic process.

Brian Bachman

Though I emphasize romantic relationships, I see clients with all types of goals: self-growth, PTSD, eating disorders, developmental trauma, loneliness, and struggling to fit in, spiritual abuse, and many many more. Every human being needs to feel connected, to experience and know that they matter, and to feel like they belong. When we experience a deficit of our needs, it tends to create anxiety, depression, pain, shame, hurt, resentment, defensiveness, co-dependency, and many more mental health struggles. I use a holistic approach and when working with clients, we explore them as a whole person: mentally, emotionally, spiritually (existential, purpose, or a higher power), professionally, physically, and relationally. We are complex beings and have incredible value and so the sacred therapeutic space should reflect that.

Kelly Storck

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of clinical experience. After graduating from Washington University in 1997, I spent a decade working with sexual abuse survivors, children struggling with mental health issues and adolescents in a therapeutic school setting. As my career evolved, I was fortunate enough to start a private practice which has grown to focus on serving LGBTQ+ folx, especially trans and non-binary clients. I count myself as very lucky to get to do what I do.

Mixing conventional and alternative approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful. By working toward identifying and fortifying unique strengths, you are better able to attain lasting personal empowerment and overall good health".

You are just Coming Home To Self! I offer private integrative sessions, somatic-based approaches to increase right brain activity and connection, energy and sound healing, meditation and breathwork, and quarterly group workshops/classes to support your healing journey.

Stephanie Dunn

As part of the therapeutic process, we will explore your core self and personality, while building personal responsibility, inner strength, and compassion. Don’t be discouraged by self-doubt. You can do this. It’s time to face the pain of your past and present, grieve your losses, set boundaries, and care for your own mind, body, spirit, and heart. In addition to talk therapy, I utilize a variety of modalities and incorporate art and play therapy techniques in sessions where appropriate.

Kristen Hood

You don't have to worry about feeling judged because of your thoughts or feelings anymore. I aim to create a space that is nonjudgemental and engaging. I especially enjoy creating an atmosphere where hesitant adolescents and young adults want to keep coming back to. In my experience as a child and adolescent therapist, I have seen success in working with clients who are unsure about coming to therapy in the first place. My approach includes meeting the client where they are at, and making therapy something that they want to engage in for themselves. I have experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Integrative Treatment for Complex Trauma, Trauma-Focused CBT, and general supportive therapy. One of my greatest joys of being a therapist include seeing client's who were initially resistant to therapy come in enthusiastically and finding healing from the process.

Amy Goldstein

The body has an amazing ability to heal from traumatic experiences and past wounds. My focus is providing a Non-Judgmental environment that fosters trust and openness so that healing can begin within the therapeutic relationship. I believe in educating my clients with psychoeducation so clients can have a sense of understanding and clarity pertaining to what is happening for them. I am an eclectic therapist and offer alternative therapy options other than talk therapy to aid with negative beliefs about self and present issues within the clients environment.
