Find a Therapist in Springfield, IL

My Philosophy is derived from a strength based and personal growth paradigm. Re-connecting to the "authentic self" helps Identify the unique strengths one contains to challenge and manage their issues. I often utilize personal growth tools to help clients address their concerns from a "broaden and build" perspective. When life's challenges require more of you than you feel able to produce, growth is often required to process through the issues. Utilizing your identified strengths often yields an expanded capacity! Life's transitions are often the perfect time to re-calibrate and grow! The customized Personal Growth & Life Path programs I offer are evidence based and has been in ABC, CBS, NBC & FOX news journals.

You feel misunderstood, unnoticed, and underappreciated. You are questioning yourself and your abilities to handle life. You are thinking the same things over and over with no actual resolution. You haven’t entirely found your “people,” and it’s been weighing you down lately. I enjoy working with young adults who are learning who they are and what they want to offer the world but struggle with motivation and self-esteem to accomplish their goals. I am here to help and support you. Let's work together to establish goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. I encourage clients to engage in self-care both inside and outside of session by: journaling, identifying and expressing emotions in an appropriate and healthy manner, engaging in basic hygiene habits, creating and keeping appointments for health-related concerns, taking walks in nature (have you ever seen Lake Erie on a summer night?), and staying in contact with support system. I believe therapy requires a strong professional relationship which we will build over time as you allow me to glimpse into your past, present, and future. We will be vulnerable, laugh a lot, cry a little, and more importantly work together to get you closer to being the person you have always wanted to be.

I believe that each person's story is unique and deserves to be heard with compassion and empathy. My therapeutic approach is rooted in collaboration, respect, and a deep appreciation for your individuality. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-exploration, uncovering your strengths and addressing the areas that need attention. Drawing from a range of therapeutic techniques such as narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and emotionally focused therapy. I tailor our sessions to suit your specific needs. Whether you're facing challenges in your relationships, struggling with anxiety, or navigating a major life transition, I am here to provide guidance, support, and practical tools to help you thrive. In our sessions, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental space where you are free to express yourself openly. It's my privilege to be a part of your journey, and I am dedicated to helping you uncover the tools you need to create lasting positive change in your life. If you're ready to take that first step toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation. Together, we can work towards building a more fulfilling and balanced life. I look forward to connecting with you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor specializing in children, adolescents, and young adults, but I have experience working with people of all ages. I am not your traditional therapist--I like to make therapy a fun and creative place to explore life's challenges! Because everyone is unique, I have an eclectic approach to therapy. I will work with you to tailor treatment that meets your individual needs. I often utilize things that you're most interested in, such as games, music, art, etc. I am now able to integrate EMDR. I have worked with people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, mood management concerns, infertility, self esteem and self-worth, familial issues, family transitions, griefloss, and behavioral issues. No matter the issue you are struggling with, I offer a safe and comfortable space to help you process and work toward wellness. I want to congratulate you for taking the first, brave step toward wellness! I look forward to hearing from you and learning about how I can best assist you as you start this journey!

I believe that we all need a little support at different times in our lives. I also believe that finding the right person to share your personal information with is so very important. I enjoy joining you on your journey and supporting you through the process of counseling. I work with children, teens, and adults with a variety of issues, ranging from adjusting to different parts of life, to anxiety and depression, to more serious mental health issues. I make a real effort to meet you where you are in your life in a nonjudgmental way and help support you in achieving your goals.

Hi! My name is Emma. I offer an alternative, holistic, and spiritual approach to therapy for women. I particularly love helping young adults in their 20s and 30s, but work with women of all ages. I help you get to the root of your problem and heal past wounds so you can feel more conscious, integrated, and whole. I use Depth Hypnosis, Shamanic Counseling, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, Transpersonal Counseling, Psychedelic Integration, and Nutritional Therapy, all of which I am fully trained and certified in. I also offer mindfulness and am trained in IFS therapy (level 3) and TRE. One fun fact about me is that I have studied, lived, and worked in many countries. Ask me about working at a mindfulness center in Thailand or getting yoga teacher trained in India! Many people who come to me feel they are “seekers” in life or have a mystical side to them. They may have tried talk therapy or other personal growth methods before, and know they are ready for something “deeper.” They are excited to try something new and grow deeply on a personal, physical, and spiritual level, healing wounds and patterns from the core. I particularly love working with clients who are highly sensitive, intuitive feeling types (think INFJ, ENFP, etc on the Meyers-Briggs personality test), spiritually curious, and eager to go on a path of personal growth and self-awareness as they heal their underlying wounds and work through the issues that brought them into therapy.

I believe that asking for help is truly a sign of strength. My goal is to create a safe environment in which my clients can feel free to express themselves without feeling judged. I approach everyone with an open mind with no preconceived notions. I always begin where you are and I will always follow your lead. We will go at the pace that you are most comfortable with. I use a interactive holistic approach and incorporate many therapeutic approaches as every individual is unique. I am at your service and here to help you whenever the need arises.

You're a woman – smart and successful, kind and self-aware – whose life's just been turned upside down. A death, a health diagnosis, a crumbling marriage, a shattered or disillusioned dream; your world is simply no longer what you thought it was, what you thought it'd be. Waves of hard feelings just keep coming at you, and all the things that usually help aren't helping nearly enough. You've got a great circle of girlfriends, but – let's face it – even that's not doing the trick right now. You're left not knowing what to do, even though you *always* know what to do. You're usually so sure of yourself, but right now you're ... not. You want so much more for yourself. You want to figure out who you are now and how in the world to move forward. You want to feel better so you can be the woman you want to be – for others AND for yourself. You desperately want to somehow feel a sense of clarity and meaning in your life again. I want all of that for you, too. And I can help. The women I work with tell me they appreciate my down-to-earth, engaging style where they can be fully themselves with me. I exclusively offer online therapy (and online scheduling!) to make getting the support you deserve convenient and easy to fit into your busy life.

Are you standing at life's crossroads, searching for a path that feels hidden in shadow? Perhaps you've sought understanding and relief before, only to feel unheard or unseen by the mental health system. If you're wrestling with deep-seated trauma, engulfed by a sense of shame, or trapped by a critical inner voice that disrupts your relationships and peace, know this: change is not just possible; it's within your reach. My name is Michael Mason, and at Safe Harbor Counseling of Missouri, we journey together towards a horizon of hope. From personal recovery to professional service, including my tenure as a US Army combat engineer, my life has been a testament to resilience and transformation. These experiences have deeply informed my therapeutic approach, offering a unique blend of empathy, understanding, and evidence-based practices designed to support and empower you. Here, therapy is more than a session; it's a partnership in healing. Imagine a partnership where: In our first session, we lay the groundwork for trust and understanding, setting clear intentions for our journey ahead. You share, I listen, and together, we begin to unravel the threads of your story. Through mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, we explore the present moment with kindness and curiosity, learning to quiet the turmoil within. Our trauma-informed care approach ensures a safe space for healing, recognizing and honoring your strength and resilience as we navigate the path to recovery. For those who've felt let down by previous therapeutic experiences, I offer not just an alternative, but a beacon of hope. I thrive on connecting with individuals ready for a significant shift—ready to challenge old narratives and embrace a new chapter filled with purpose and joy. Are you ready to: Dive deep into understanding your emotions and their power in shaping your life? Reclaim your narrative from the shadows of trauma and the grip of an inner critic? Build meaningful, fulfilling relationships free from the barriers of the past? If these questions resonate, I invite you to reach out. Let's begin a conversation about where you are, where you'd like to be, and how we can navigate the distance together. As a first step, I offer a complimentary consultation appointment—a chance for us to connect and for you to feel assured that change, though challenging, is filled with promise and possibility. Your journey toward healing starts with a single step. Let's take that step together.

Our past experiences may shape us, but they don't have to define our lives. Sometimes painful memories, emotions, or even our own behavior can feel like a heavy weight we've been carrying for a long time. This weight can hold us back and can make life feel overwhelming. It can lead to problems in our relationships, unwanted thoughts and behaviors, or disconnection from ourselves and the things in life that matter most. It can feel impossible at times to free ourselves of this burden alone. I'm here to offer hope; hope that this weight can be lifted. I support adults dealing with painful past experiences that can show up as addiction, shame, anxiety and other symptoms that leave us feeling disconnected from our true selves. I offer a compassionate, light-hearted space where I welcome you to come as you are. I use a variety of approaches, including EMDR and CBT, to explore what may have gotten you to this point. With a greater understanding, together we find a path forward. I'd love to learn your story, find out what matters most to you, and help you reconnect with yourself and what you value. I became a therapist because I have personally experienced my own challenges and healing, and wholeheartedly believe in the gifts therapy has to offer. It would be an honor hear your experience, and to walk alongside you on this journey.

I believe everyone has the innate ability to grow throughout their lives. I facilitate this process so you can find and stay on your path.

You give so much to everyone else. You push through, hold it together, and try to be what the world expects. But inside, you might feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost pieces of yourself along the way. Whether you’re a teen figuring out who you are or a woman who’s spent years putting others first, you deserve a space where you can breathe, be heard, and focus on you. Life has its share of struggles—I know this not only as a therapist, but through my own personal experiences. I also understand the power of resilience and healing. You are not broken, and you don’t have to figure everything out by yourself. With a background in both science and mental health, I bring an approach that is both evidence-based and deeply human. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), person-centered therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help untangle the thoughts and patterns that hold you back. I’m driven to learn and stay updated in my field. But therapy isn’t just about techniques—it’s about feeling truly understood, learning to trust yourself, and creating a life that feels like yours. If you’re feeling ready—even just a little—I’m here.
