about-us

About Us

R elationships are the fabric of life. At Generations Counseling, we believe growth happens in safe and caring relationships. Most importantly, our team walks alongside you through the challenges that life and connection bring.

Our Approach to Counseling

Each of our counselors brings a passionate interest in relational and family dynamics. We pay particular attention to individual concerns — stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD — that affect both your inner life and your closest relationships. As a result, our work blends personal and relational healing rather than treating them as separate concerns. Furthermore, we help you develop relational skills that change old patterns and build new ones that promote healthy connection. We work with adolescents, adults, and couples across Missouri. Whether you meet with us in person or virtually, we create space for honest conversation and meaningful change.

Our Specialties

Our counselors offer specialized care across a range of evidence-based therapies. We provide Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples seeking deeper connection. In addition, we offer ERP and I-CBT for OCD, along with Somatic Experiencing for trauma. We also draw on Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a result, you receive care matched to your specific concerns rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

What to Expect in Sessions

In our sessions, we collaboratively set goals and build self-awareness. We then apply what you learn to your most important relationships. For us, the story of your life shapes the framework of our therapy and groups. In addition, we work with individuals and couples on a variety of concerns. These include relationship struggles, family and parenting challenges, and emotional or stress-related difficulties.
