I am proud to be a queer and neurodivergent therapist and am passionate about providing affirming therapy to LGBTQIA+ clients and those exploring their identities. As a sex-positive sexuality educator, I specialize in providing therapy for those interested in exploring their intimate relationships, sexuality, and sexual experience. I love working with open-minded folks who are seeking personal growth and reflection. I am providing exclusively Telehealth for Missouri clients at this time.

At some point in every person’s life, therapy can be helpful. People who seek therapy are engaging in a healthy, proactive approach towards their life. They are typically seeking to implement positive, lasting life change and growth.

I work with individuals, 18 and older, who are often exploring gender and sexuality, experiencing transitions of all kinds, and facing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. I enjoy working with all sorts of people, especially undergrad/grad students and LGBTQIA+ folks. I know reflecting on our behaviors, thought patterns, and life experiences can be really difficult, and I’m committed to supporting you through that process.

Do you often feel stuck in your relationship? You care deeply for your partner, but you may argue constantly and struggle to feel connected. I help couples make the changes necessary to feel connected again, as well as create a more satisfying future. I also work with individuals who have been traumatized, helping you heal when you decide to face your truth, challenge years of silence, and are empowered to take control of your story.

Christina Bergren

My clients are people who are looking to start fresh after experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, or any other life altering event. Many of my clients are working individuals who have experienced a life event that has changed their path. Whether it be divorce, a death in the family, or another related family issue I can help you. I also work with school aged children suffering from behavioral concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, or adjustment issues.

Camielle Famous

Hi There! I help couples who want relationships they can actually enjoy. We live in a world of fabulously filtered families and carefully curated couples that can lead to #relationshipgoals overload. Have you found yourself one too many times crying instead of laughing at a post that hit too close to home. Maybe it’s the Superstar Students. Perhaps it’s Patty & Patrick Perfect who are wearing your last nerve. I get it. Its not that you don't have it together, things are just off...

Kathryn Stinson

More than ever, our culture finds itself confronted with the simple fact that many people’s lived experience, relationships, and sense of self do not match the restrictive gender and sexuality boxes we have required people to live in. Gender non-conforming people are refusing to accept these restrictions any longer. And yet, we have so much farther to go. Discrimination, inequality, microaggressions, and hate crimes still impact so many lives. The threats of violence faced by transgender women of color in particular are staggering and unacceptable. You need a therapist who is not only open and affirming, but well informed. I offer both individual and couples therapy for adults and can provide referrals for gender non-conforming clients...

Megan Ferber

I have worked with a variety of individuals and couples around issues such as: depression, anxiety, communication issues, and major life transitions.

Gender care work and the support of trans and non-binary humans is the most deliberate work that I do. I see people across the lifespan and can assist with identity exploration, transition needs, minority stress impacts and overall mental wellness. I can include work with loved ones, if desired.

Stephanie Dunn

Do you struggle with feelings of persistent anxiety and depression? Are you having difficulty moving past previous trauma? Or maybe you feel trapped by the pressures of abiding by societal norms? Learn how to accept yourself for who you are, not compare yourself to others, grow in confidence and strength, and write your own story.

Deb Crawford

Most of my clients are LGBTQ+ adults and teens/adolescents. I generally see folx who have anxiety, depression, anger issues, and trauma, which generally all results from childhood trauma and lifespan stress. My clients are people who are trying to better understand why they do what they do and how to be better.

Roman Franzen

Maybe it’s your sexuality or gender, maybe it’s how you relationship or what you like sexually, or maybe you just move through the world differently; you’ve been othered, outcast, and feel like there’s nowhere you really fit in. Feelings of confusion, isolation and being misunderstood by everyone creep in and take over. You're afraid you'll never be able to just be yourself and be accepted for who you are. It's hard; I want to lighten your load and help you see your strength.

Caitlin McNeece

Anxiety and past trauma have kept you playing small, but in your heart you know that life can be so much bigger! You’re ready to wrestle with anxiety, shine a light on hurts and hardships of the past, and begin living life on your own terms. It feels like you’ve been waiting forever, unsure if the timing is right, but now you realize that “ready” might never happen, and you’re willing to try anyway. You're ready to get back in the driver's seat of life!

Barb Black

I feel passionately about working with the LGBT community and their families, including youth, to cope with coming out, transitioning, or relationship issues. I would like to be a part of the hope and healing that is possible in these situations. I also feel strongly about helping you alleviate pain and suffering while dealing with trauma. I have been trained in EMDR and have foundations in solution focused therapies.

Beth Perkins

You want to find more acceptance, wholeness, and aliveness in all of who you are. You may feel suffocated by self-criticism, doubt, sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, or fear, or maybe you're navigating what it means to show up as yourself in various areas of your life. I fully believe that being heard, seen, and witnessed without judgment by another human is one of the most healing experiences we can have. Being that witness for others is a gift I am grateful for every day.
