Currently, I am offering only virtual counseling sessions to individuals residing in Missouri and Illinois. I use Doxy, a secure and confidential platform that abides by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations. This means you can get help from the privacy of your own turf, on your terms. Live in a rural area? Differently-abled? Sick? Working late? No transportation? Don't want to walk into a therapy office? No problem. So long as you have a reliable internet connection, I have you covered. Call me today at 314-297-0331 to get started.

In the spring, summer, and part of fall (or whenever the St. Louis region's weather decides to behave), I offer Walk & Talk therapy for local clients. This is a unique modality in which I accompany clients on a walk while they discuss their concerns. Research has shown that this modality of delivering services can help your body and brain process difficult thoughts and emotions. If you happen to be very active or have ADHD, this can make therapy more comfortable for you.

Many individuals struggle with experiences they find haunting, from which they are not sure how to move forward. The stressful situation may have happened directly to the person, or they may have witnessed an event that has contributed to or exacerbated the following:

Moral injury is unique to people who work in dangerous and high-stress jobs. Sometimes, people are required to make decisions which are for the greater good, but violate your own values. Other times, you may have chosen not to act and later regret that decision. Your department or employer may require you to do things you don't agree with
Moral injury is unique to people who work in dangerous and high-stress jobs. Sometimes, people are required to make decisions which are for the greater good, but violate your own values. Other times, you may have chosen not to act and later regret that decision. Your department or employer may require you to do things you don't agree with in order to maintain a job or status. I see this especially with my veterans and first responders. My therapy space is a no-judgment area in which to process such conflicted decisions.

One of the most common conditions I see in my practice to accompany trauma, depression, and anxiety is difficulty falling or staying asleep.

Life is full of "good-byes", some more impactful than others. Our society is not always the most accepting of people openly grieving or processing the loss of a person, relationship, or situation. How does a person move forward from loss when the world doesn't stop?
I have personal and professional experience with a wide variety of grief

Being a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), I'm experienced in offering strategies for workplace-related behavioral health issues. I can help employees and managers alike with workplace-related concerns such as substance abuse, demanding workload, and managing challenging personality traits.

Do you have an article, podcast, presentation, video/documentary, or educational program for which you'd like an expert opinion? I'm passionate about my occupation and enjoy sharing my knowledge to dispel myths about behavioral health concerns. I consider myself a teacher in my work with clients, and believe that doesn't stop at the end of session. As an unwavering advocate of mental health education as well as a person's right to free speech and dignity, I'm open to media contact and speaking engagements.
I write often on my professional social media platforms and have had articles published via The Center for Mindfulness and CBT as well as The Village Voice.

Call me at 314-297-0331 or email me at beth@tlc-help.com to inquire further.
In addition to counseling, I offer consultation with employers, public service agencies, and can provide training.

I am also happy to discuss guest lecturing for your organization or education program. There is a separate fee structure for these services. Reach out today to learn more or discuss working with me in the areas of employment and education on mental health topics.
