About
Welcome and Hello! My name is Shirley and I am a licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I have 14 years of experience as an educator and school counselor in grade five through 12. I have 15 years of experience as a Professional Mental Health Therapist. I understand that it can be a challenging step to seek help. I am proud of you for reaching out to find some stability and/or guidance in resolving your issue or concern. As we work together, I hope to help you evaluate and resolve your doubts, fears, or concerns. I hope to empower you to have the strength to feel confident in voicing your desired expectations to me and to others in your life. We will utilize various tools to help build confidence and I will be your greatest advocate as you navigate your path towards renewed pride, courage, compassion, self-worth and/or setting boundaries. Do you want a change or peace? Please contact me!
I work with adolescents and adults. I work primarily with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Reality Therapy Modalities. Individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy are available. I am here to help you work on Behavioral Issues, Career Counseling, Adolescent, Chronic Pain, Codependency, Coping Skills, Depression/Stress/Anxiety, Grief, Parenting, Relationship Issues, School Issues, Self Esteem, Self-Harm, Trauma Issues, and Women's Issues.
I genuinely understand the many challenges of life. It is hard sometimes, but no one should have to navigate life alone, depressed, or mentally compromised due to feeling lost or detached from one’s self and the ones we call our friends and family. "I don't feel like myself" is a common statement I hear. There are tools to use to redirect feelings/thoughts. Please contact me if you would like to talk. I am here to help!
