Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is your nervous system telling a story — usually one that was written a long time ago in circumstances that no longer exist. At Simple Empathy we don't just teach you to manage anxiety, we help you understand what it's protecting you from and why it's been so loud. Using IFS and Narrative approaches, we'll look at the part of you that worries, what it believes, and what it would take for it to finally stand down. This isn't about becoming someone who never feels anxious. It's about no longer being controlled by it.

Psychworks Clinic
Psychologist, PHD
At PsychWorks Clinic, we understand that anxiety can show up in many forms — racing thoughts, constant worry, irritability, perfectionism, or the sense that your mind just won’t turn off. Anxiety can be exhausting, and it often makes people feel trapped between wanting control and fearing they’ll lose it.
Our team uses evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients recognize the patterns that fuel their anxiety and develop practical tools to manage it. We focus on helping clients build emotional awareness, calm their nervous systems, and regain confidence in their ability to handle life’s challenges.
We see anxiety not as a sign of weakness, but as your mind’s way of trying to protect you — sometimes too much. Together, we help you retrain that instinct, find balance, and rediscover a sense of peace and presence in your daily life.

Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC

Anxiety often shows up as a chronic hum of fear in our chest. There's a feeling that you can’t fully relax when you're not certain. Even when you understand that your fears may not be rational, they can still feel very real. In our work, we look beyond surface-level coping strategies and explore the underlying patterns driving your anxiety, helping you develop a steadier way of relating to your thoughts and emotions.

"What If" thoughts trigger anxiety and fears. Most "What If" thoughts never come true, yet you probably spend so much time ruminating on them. I teach you how to explore and challenge your "What If" thoughts by looking at the data or evidence to counter those negative stressful thoughts. I also teach you strategies to calm your body so that it can get out of the "fight or flight" state.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety comes from the fear of getting hurt again or from the perpetual anxiety rooted in experiences of having been perpetually unsafe. In the first instance, the person fears that the source of their pain will happen again and tries to avoid it at all costs. In the second situation, the person looks out at the world and sees the worst possible scenario in everything. Regardless of what your anxieties or phobias are, we want you to know that you can overcome anxiety, emotionally stabilize, and regain control of your emotional and relational well being.

Starlain Saldana

Anxiety often comes from attempts to control. A piece of our work is to increase acceptance of ambiguity and uncertainty and live in spaces of gray. Anxiety also can pull us into avoidance so we will work to approach and move toward the anxious or fearful thing.

Raber Hamad
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Anxiety can make it feel like your mind never turns off. Maybe you’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or feeling like you have to be in control just to keep everything from falling apart. Your body might be on high alert—tight chest, racing heart, trouble sleeping—like you're always bracing for something to go wrong. Even when things are “fine,” the worry doesn’t stop. It’s exhausting.
You don’t have to live like this. Anxiety isn’t just in your head—it’s your nervous system reacting to stress, fear, and past experiences. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and other research-backed approaches, we’ll get to the root of what’s fueling your anxiety, not just manage the symptoms. Together, we’ll help you feel more grounded, calm, and in control—without the constant mental battle.
You deserve peace. Let’s start your journey.

I know just how you feel. The world can be a very scary place sometimes, and even when it's not, sometimes our nervous system did not get the memo. I enjoy helping people, like myself, who share a body with a nervous system that is a total drama queen.

Tab Shamsi
Psychologist, PsyD, ABPP
I provide evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders and fear-based concerns, including chronic worry, panic, performance anxiety, and avoidance patterns that limit daily life. My approach is structured and grounded in research, helping clients understand how anxiety functions and how to respond to it effectively rather than being controlled by it. Together we work on reducing avoidance, strengthening emotional tolerance, and building practical skills that lead to real behavioral change. The aim is not only to reduce symptoms, but to equip you with the tools and confidence to manage anxiety independently and sustainably.

St. Louis sits at a crossroads of the Midwest and the South, and its deeply segregated geography shapes a mental health landscape where therapists frequently address racial trauma, economic stress, and community-level grief rooted in the city's long history of systemic inequality. The 2014 Ferguson uprising brought national attention to St. Louis and left a lasting psychological mark on many residents, and therapists specializing in racial trauma, activism fatigue, and community healing remain in strong demand. Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital provide world-class institutional mental health resources, with a strong private practice community concentrated in Clayton, the Central West End, and South City. St. Louis's lower cost of living relative to coastal cities makes quality private therapy more financially accessible for many residents.
