Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Career concerns often extend beyond choosing the right job or making the next move. They can reflect deeper questions about identity, expectations, burnout, and the pressure to succeed while maintaining balance in other areas of life. Many women I work with are navigating competing demands between professional growth and personal well-being. Therapy offers space to clarify what matters most, understand the patterns influencing your decisions, and move forward in a way that feels more aligned and sustainable.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help professionals navigate career stress, burnout, leadership challenges, workplace conflict, and uncertainty about next steps. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overextended, or unsure how to balance ambition with their personal well-being. Together, we clarify goals, identify barriers, improve decision-making, and build strategies for stronger boundaries, communication, and follow-through. My goal is to help clients move toward work that feels more sustainable, meaningful, and aligned with their values.

Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the flagship state university, as well as several other colleges, giving it a pronounced college-town character and a mental health landscape significantly shaped by the needs of a large and diverse student population navigating academic pressure, identity, and the transition to adulthood. The MU School of Health Professions and Missouri Psychiatric Center contribute to the city's mental health professional resources, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and permanent residents. The city has a generally progressive and intellectually engaged culture with a positive attitude toward therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirmative care is more accessible here than in many other parts of Missouri. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the particular experiences of a university community navigating complex social terrain in a politically divided state.
