Therapists for college students near The Gate District, St. Louis, MO
Mind Over Matters offers boutique coaching and therapy services in a private, client confidential, comfortable setting in office or on-line. I am a Cognitive behavioral Therapist who specialize in anxiety, stress, and burn-out. I provide therapy and coaching for clients who are perfectionists, people-pleasers, high performers, high achievers, failure-avoiders, over-thinkers, procrastinators, and everyone who is feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and like they aren’t measuring up or keeping up.
Human existence is unique for each of us, and that means a uniquely tailored approach to therapy is important. Taking a one-size-fits-all approach negates the fact that we are naturally complex beings. My therapy approach is practical, compassionate, easygoing and down-to-earth. In my practice, I draw from my training in various evidenced based approaches to provide effective treatment for everyone I work with. That said, I also rely heavily on my own intuition to help guide our work together. Life isn't linear, and neither is therapy. As time goes on and I learn more about what brings you to therapy, I will work to weave together various theories and principles to create a personalized therapy experience just for you.
Compassionate Counseling St. Louis offers therapy for anxious college students. You’re juggling your classes, your clubs, your job, your internship applications, and you barely have time to just stop and think. When you do - if you do - you feel this pressure to do more. Because if you’re not doing as much as possible, maybe it means you’re failing, and maybe it means you’re not proving yourself and proving your worth to others. College anxiety, overwhelm, and perfectionism is super common, but that doesn’t mean you should accept huge amounts of stress as your new normal. You want to do so well in college. But every time you get a B instead of an A; every time a professor corrects you in class, or you get the answer wrong, it feels like a sign that you shouldn’t be there. Your brain, working on overdrive, starts to hyper focus on your perceived failures. And while a fear of failure can be motivating, and perfectionism can fuel you, those two forces are unsustainably draining on your mental health. That’s where anxiety counseling comes in! Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety helps you feel less stress about your future. Anxiety therapy isn’t just about learning quick tips for fast tools to lower your stress levels. It’s about recognizing what’s going on in your brain and body, and transforming the patterns of overwhelm and exhaustion that keep getting in your way. Set up a free consultation call at Compassionate Counseling St. Louis to learn more about the expert anxiety therapists ready to help you succeed in school and life!

Hello there! I wish you the best of luck with navigating your newfound independence; handling and meeting expectations for all your different responsibilities and duties; learning to integrate into different communities and much more. Students in higher education, like yourselves, tend to come to recognize different aspects of establishing a connection to those around them, but more importantly, to themselves. My name is Johnny Kim. I am a licensed clinical social worker located in Saint Louis, Missouri. I offer dialectical conversations towards building a sense of self and trust using a modality called psychodynamic psychotherapy. If you found yourself resonating with some of the challenges that I've listed above, please feel free to reach out to me either via phone or email. I hope to provide you a space to learn more about yourself and how to live a life worth living.
Does your past still haunt you? Maybe you've been in an abusive situation, and you’re building a new life, but you struggle with the echoes that interfere with your world now. Your emotions are all over the place, you check out or shut down, and it doesn’t quite make sense to you or to those around you. The internal chaos is sometimes invisible to others, but the pain is real and you feel isolated and alone. You want to learn how to climb out of this but don’t know how. You too can experience a sense of wholeness, recovery after trauma, trust in yourself, more self-confidence, mindfulness, healthier boundaries, and more. Imagine being able to get off the emotional roller coaster, connect to and understand yourself better, and stay present more. Picture standing up for yourself and sleeping peacefully at night. Embrace a future in which you trust yourself to set and keep boundaries that honor you while helping you have authentic connection with others. Have you heard that trauma memories are stored in the body? Bottom-up approaches help you do more than simply think your way beyond trauma. As a somatic psychotherapist, I am uniquely qualified to help you get to this new reality, using a blended approach to help you heal and manage the automatic responses so that they don’t rule your life. Don't want to do somatic work? That's ok too! I am skilled and experienced in a range of evidence-based processes that can help. Let’s start with a free 15-minute consultation. Send me a message and I’ll get back to you within 48 hours to schedule a time to chat.
Do you struggle with chronic or treatment-resistant depression or anxiety? Do you have high standards for yourself or others that are sometimes impossible to live up to? When others are having fun and relaxed, is it hard for you to join in? If any of the above apply to you, then we might be a great therapeutic match! My name is Caroline, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Missouri. Trained by the treatment developers at the Radically Open Institute, I specialize in Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based, transdiagnostic therapy for disorders of overcontrol. As a certified RO-DBT practitioner, I help my clients build a life that’s aligned with their goals. I love working with people to build a life that’s not only worth living but also worth sharing! Outside of RO-DBT, I also work with people who struggle with OCD, specific phobias/fears, and PTSD. I use Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help them build a new relationship with the uncomfortable emotions that they normally avoid. Regardless of if you’re seeing me for RO-DBT, ERP, ACT, or DBT, know that all the approaches that I use are evidence-based and empirically supported. This means they are backed up by decades of high-quality research that has demonstrated their effectiveness for specific conditions. As a therapist, I’m a big believer in following the science. I take pride in providing my clients with care known to be effective. If any of that sounds intriguing to you, give me a call! I’m happy to provide a free phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
As your therapist my goal is to help you work through whatever is in the way to the life you’ve always envisioned, and redefining what is possible. The “work through” part is not just talk therapy; it will include incorporating EMDR therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy, also known as parts work), attachment theory (EFT), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), somatic approach - all of which are wholistic methods that allow to attend and process on three levels: body, emotions, and mind. In other words, we will engage your conscious and unconscious simultaneously. My practice’s focus is attachment and relationship issues, complex/childhood trauma (CPTSD), PTSD, ADHD. I provide individual psychotherapy and couples counselling. Expect to find yourself in an environment in which it's safe to reflect, feel, and discover. I'll offer direct and honest feedback, support, and guidance, as well as education and coaching if needed. Together, we will identify obstructing patterns, past trauma, unprocessed emotions, and work towards your life full of fulfilment, meaning, joy, strength, and love.

What is outpatient counseling? Our mental health is important in every stage of life, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. It affects how we think, feel, act, handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Major life events, traumatic experiences, and even stress can significantly impact our ability to successfully function at seemingly easy daily tasks. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, then outpatient counseling may be for you. Outpatient counseling can help children, adults, and families address the effects of trauma, improve stress management skills, and resolve problematic behaviors and relationship issues. Counseling helps identify triggers and patterns and teaches new skills to process current and past circumstances. With counseling, children, adults, and families experience personal growth and change to have happier, more productive lives. Certified in trauma-informed care, we offer therapeutic services in an atmosphere of acceptance to promote your well-being. We’ll match you with knowledgeable and caring therapists who can help with: Abuse/Neglect Addiction Adoption Anxiety Conflict Resolution Depression Family Relationship Struggles Grief/Loss Identity Self-Esteem Stress Substance Abuse

Reaching out when you feel disconnected from yourself and others, or when you feel broken or hurt can be scary. You're not alone in that experience. Reading these words might make your heart race because you're used to picking yourself up and doing it all on your own, or because you might have to process something you've been trying to avoid or forget for a long time. Sometimes we need to ask someone to help us. Help us get up, lie next to us on the ground until we're ready to sit and stand, or walk beside us into the dark forest we've desperately been trying to go around. That's what I do. I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relational wounds, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in person-centered and relational-cultural theories. You and I will work to explore your wounds, emotions, self-worth, and re-establish a sense of wholeness within yourself and your relationships. As a social justice-oriented, person-centered, feminist, I believe we heal the most when others compassionately and empathically support us, especially during our dark moments. You don't have to do all of this by yourself. If any of this resonates with you, then let's chat.
Greetings! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults with mild to severe mental health issues. Many of the individuals I have worked with have endured mild to severe trauma that manifests in the form of depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, difficulty forming meaningful and healthy connections, flashbacks, trust issues, and emotional dysregulation. Another area of experience and interest is working with individuals who have not experienced trauma and who are seeking support with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, grief and loss, academic pressures, family issues, parenting concerns, and coping with the stressors of managing a more balanced lifestyle. I draw from various treatment approaches to provide tailored therapy experiences. I strive to provide a warm, safe, non-judgmental space for individuals, couples and families to process through their thoughts and feelings for symptom reduction as well as to help in the development of skills to optimally align behaviors with values. I practice a collaborative approach and appreciate the importance of trust, empathy and authentic connection in each therapeutic relationship. I offer in-person therapy as I find it important to optimize the therapeutic alliance and connection. I'm looking forward to meeting you!
