I serve individuals via telehealth in North Carolina, Missouri, Colorado, Illinois, and South Carolina. I support clients during many stages of life.

Hi, I’m Olivia Parks, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel supportive, real, and tailored to you. I earned my degrees in Psychology and Clinical Psychology from Missouri State University and enjoy working with college-aged students as they navigate stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and big changes. College can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I offer a warm, collaborative space to help you better understand yourself, build coping skills, and feel more confident managing daily life. I also use EMDR when it aligns with your goals. My hope is for therapy to feel like a place where you can show up as you are and start feeling more grounded and supported.
I'm passionate about helping you navigate life's transitions and find clarity during uncertain times. Whether you're adjusting to college, shifting careers, or facing another major life change, it's natural to feel overwhelmed or stuck. But transitions don't just affect the moment you're in-they often bring up deeper questions about who you are, what you want, and how to build a life that feels truly fulfilling. Therapy isn't just about getting through this chapter; it's about gaining the tools and self-awareness to navigate whatever comes next with confidence and clarity. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support you through these pivotal moments. Clients often describe me as calm and supportive, and I strive to create a space where you can share your thoughts and emotions at your own pace—without pressure or judgment. Our sessions will be a mix of meaningful conversations and lighthearted moments, helping you explore what matters most while feeling truly heard. Therapy should be a place where you can be yourself, and together, we’ll uncover patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and build lasting strategies for resilience and growth. Through thoughtful reflection and practical tools, we’ll work together to help you gain insight into your emotions, patterns, and behaviors. Part of this exploration may involve looking at habits that no longer serve you—whether it’s unhealthy coping mechanisms, patterns of avoidance, or ways of thinking that keep you feeling stuck. My ultimate aim is to help you not just regain balance in this moment, but feel equipped for all the changes life brings. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to support you on this journey. Let’s work together to create a path that fosters growth, clarity, and confidence—now and for the future.

You want to feel confident, but down inside you are struggling to calm insecurities and anxieties. You may be fed up with the constant overthinking, feeling like you are lost in life, or those anxious thoughts that come at night. You might even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to understand why this is happening. You are ready to feel at ease and satisfied with your life. Most of all, you’re ready to feel confident about the choices you are making. You want to feel confident, but down inside you are struggling to calm insecurities and self-talk.

Hi! I’m Sara, a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 20 years of experience supporting people across Missouri with anxiety, attention challenges, and stress related to school, work, and big life transitions. I work primarily with thoughtful, self-aware women (including trans women) and non-binary individuals who are looking for meaningful change—even if they’re not totally sure where to start yet. You don’t need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, or disconnected from their focus or motivation. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in your way, identify patterns that aren’t working anymore, and build practical tools to support your mental health, clarity, and overall sense of balance. My approach is collaborative, client-led, and grounded in an anti-racist and anti-oppression framework. I use an integrative style that may include movement, creative expression, mindfulness, and basic nutritional education—depending on what feels supportive and accessible to you. Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all; we adapt the process to fit your needs, energy, and goals. I believe growth doesn’t have to happen in a stiff office chair. I’m not a “clipboard and couch” kind of therapist, and as therapy progresses, sessions may take place outdoors, in the community, or in real-world environments that reflect where your life is actually happening. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, capable, and connected as you move through this chapter of your life.
