Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—but healing is possible. If you find yourself stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help you process those painful memories and regain a sense of peace. I specialize in trauma-informed care using EMDR to support individuals in moving beyond past experiences and reclaiming their lives.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in trauma and PTSD, my treatment approach is rooted in compassion, safety, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), I collaborate with individuals to process traumatic memories, challenge negative beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. Creating a safe therapeutic environment is paramount, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace while feeling supported and validated. Psychoeducation about trauma responses and self-regulation techniques empowers individuals to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control over their lives. Additionally, I integrate mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to promote emotional regulation and resilience. My goal is to facilitate healing, restore a sense of safety, and empower individuals to thrive beyond their traumatic experiences.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma isn't just what happened to you — it's what happened inside you in response, and how your system has been organizing itself around that ever since. At Simple Empathy I bring a trauma-informed, depth-oriented approach that draws on Narrative Therapy, IFS and somatic and EMDR-informed techniques to help you process what happened, understand how it shaped you, and build a life that isn't still being run by the past. This work is done at your pace, with your full agency. You've already survived the hard part. This is about finally being free of it.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with individuals experiencing trauma and PTSD from a trauma-informed, relational, and strengths-based perspective. Trauma can result from a single event, repeated experiences, or ongoing stress, and its effects often extend beyond memory—impacting relationships, the nervous system, and daily functioning. In therapy, we move at your pace, focusing on safety, stabilization, and your personal goals.
Our work may include processing traumatic experiences, building coping skills, regulating the nervous system, and strengthening resilience. Therapy is a collaborative space where you can reclaim a sense of safety, reconnect with your body and emotions, and develop strategies to navigate triggers and stressors while honoring your unique experiences. My approach emphasizes empowerment, self-compassion, and sustainable healing rather than rushing toward “closure” or forcing outcomes.

Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma isn’t just about what happened. It’s about how those experiences continue to live in your body, your reactions, and your relationships. You may find yourself feeling stuck, reactive, or disconnected without fully understanding why. Therapy provides a space to safely process those experiences and begin to resolve the patterns they’ve left behind, allowing for deeper healing and greater freedom.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been working with individuals who have trauma and PTSD for over 20 years. For many years this was my main focus and as a evidence-based therapist I learned many different ways of treatment and developed a hybrid approach that I taught to other therapist for years. I start by helping you reduce your symptoms, then if your willing we re-process your trauma and help you look at it in a different way by identifying what is your "stuck point" and working to move that along. That in itself can also reduce remaining symptoms. With what is left, I help you move forward with your remaining symptoms and do what make you happy, despite of your symptoms. It may make you anxious to do something but at the end of the day, the joy you felt makes it worth it. Again, remember, you would be doing this with much less anxiety than when you started therapy. This a is a proven approach that has worked with so many individuals with trauma.

Raber Hamad
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Trauma can make it feel like the past is still controlling your life. You might find yourself on edge, struggling to relax, or feeling disconnected from the people you love. Maybe certain situations trigger overwhelming emotions, or you shut down to avoid the pain. Even when things seem “fine” on the outside, you might feel stuck, exhausted, or like you're just trying to get through the day.
Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to “move on” or rehashing the past over and over. It’s about helping the parts of you that are still carrying pain feel safe, heard, and unburdened. Using gentle, research-backed approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), we’ll work together to process what happened without reliving it, so you can finally feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life.

Jenna Poppe
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, NNC, PLPC | ADHD + Relationship Therapist
Trauma and ADHD have a complicated and deeply intertwined relationship. Many neurodivergent individuals carry significant trauma from childhood experiences of feeling different, broken, or not enough, to the cumulative weight of years of shame, rejection, and misunderstanding. And trauma has a way of living in the body long after the event has passed, showing up in ways that feel confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes impossible to explain.
I specialize in trauma and PTSD using EMDR, one of the most well-researched and effective trauma treatments available, alongside other evidence-based approaches. I work with clients to untangle trauma from neurodivergence, process what has been too heavy to carry alone, and rebuild a genuine sense of safety, self-worth, and peace.

Restoration Counseling Ministries
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
Everyone has experienced trauma, but not everyone experiences PTSD. PTSD is, basically, when trauma gets "stuck" in us and forces its way into everyday life. Healing from trauma doesn't mean we forget the bad stuff. Healing is that the bad stuff gets bound in a book and put on the bookshelves of our life. It no longer intrudes into our present. We can take the book off the shelf and open it, remembering all the details, but then close it back up and put it back on the shelf, and it stays there.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in helping clients heal from trauma and PTSD, including experiences that continue to affect their sense of safety, relationships, and emotional well-being long after the event has passed. Trauma can show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Many clients feel stuck in survival mode, even when they logically know they are safe. Our trauma-informed, attachment-based approach helps clients process these experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable, rebuild a sense of internal stability, and develop greater trust in themselves and their world. Therapy supports clients in moving from survival toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and fully their own.

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.
