Psychotherapy is for individuals who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. Some individuals seek out therapy to improve their lives and to help recognize and remove barriers to a healthy lifestyle, relationships, and productivity. While others find that troubling symptoms of anxiety, depression, failed relationships, chronic pain, and loss are too intense to manage on their own. I work with individuals presenting with a range of emotional and psychological needs in a safe and respectful atmosphere. I respect and encourage individuals' motivation to change and help them develop their own internal resources to make lasting positive changes.

My name is Brandy Yarbrough and I am a licensed professional counselor. I have worked in both school and private settings and love using both experiences to complement one another in therapy.

Do you wonder if what you are feeling is normal? Are you having relationship concerns or feeling depressed? Are you irritable or unsure of what is going on in your life? Does your child struggle with emotion regulation or behavioral concerns? Maybe you are considering a major life change? I am here to provide you with the support and confidence you need to cope. Have you recently started questioning your life experiences, dealing with a lost loved one or need support for your child. Through counseling we can identify what you are feeling, how to deal with stress, what are healthy relationships and effective ways to cope with life.

My name is Jamie Yates and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I'm trained in DBT, CBT, and ACT. I use an eclectic approach that focuses on how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors affect our lives. I generally work with teenagers and adults with depression, anxiety, and/or Borderline Personality Disorder. I utilize a laid back approach with gentle encouragement for change in areas that my clients have identified as concerns.

I provides comprehensive therapeutic services for individuals, teens and families who are faced with obstacles to healthy living. My practice is born from extensive experience with at-risk teens and families, and with individuals seeking to overcome challenges to fulfilling and healthy lives. Therapy is built upon the principle of partnership - with safety, compassion, acceptance and respect at the core. Clients rediscover their inborn strength, confidence, courage and resilience while being supported to develop new skills, shape healthy relationships, heal trauma and begin living the lives they've envisioned for themselves.

People often wonder what they can expect out of therapy. In my practice, you can expect for me to match your dedication to making changes in your life and deepening your understanding of yourself. You can expect to receive psychoeducation as needed. You can expect curiosity and collaboration. You can expect a soft and tender reprieve from the world. You can expect direct communication and transparency about the therapy process. You can expect me to account for both individual and systemic factors impacting you. My practice is LGBTQIA+, poly, and kink-affirming.

I specialize in treating mental health issues in children, adolescents, and individuals. Ultimately, what children and adolescents want from therapy is to feel better, to gain a sense of control over their emotions and behaviors, and to improve their quality of life. They seek understanding, support, and guidance to overcome their challenges and thrive. Whether it's alleviating anxiety or lifting mood, my goal is to reduce distressing symptoms and improve overall functioning. I provide a safe non-judgmental space to assist in developing coping skills and communication skills, that are crucial to navigating through life.

I am a trauma-informed therapist who works with adult clients in individual therapy. I have a special heart for working with individuals who struggle with boundary issues, codependency, self-esteem, and shame. I also work with survivors of emotional/narcissistic abuse; clients with adult ADHD; and those with relational/attachment trauma through abuse and neglect in their family of origin. Another area I serve is supporting individuals who are in their faith deconstruction journey or have experienced spiritual abuse. My clients are of all faith backgrounds but for those who are seeking it, I also offer Christian counseling.

Welcome! Taking the first step in reaching out can be challenging. My goal is to create the kind of environment that feels safe to explore whatever issue is causing you distress. As a social worker, I bring a deep empathy and a strengths-based approach to our sessions, where you are the expert in your own experience. I'm EMDR trained and utilize a variety of clinical interventions like CBT, narrative techniques, Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational interviewing, to help see what fits your needs.

My ideal client is someone looking for a significant change in their life. They may struggle with past hurts, shame, isolation, trauma, low self image, resentment, self-hatred, depression, or anxiety. They need someone to listen and to provide a safe place free of judgement where they will be heard. Their goals might include finding freedom, seeing their situation in a new light, gaining hope, finding their voice, or integrating their life experience and their spirituality.
