Sandplay Therapists in Columbia, MO

I am currently accepting clients who are interested in learning mindfulness. I work with all populations: adults, teens, children, those with autism/aspergers, etc. I am also a certified yoga therapist currently obtaining training in somatic yoga.

At Arroyo Psychological Services, we believe that therapy is a collaborative journey built on trust, respect, and genuine human connection. We are a team of compassionate clinicians dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals, couples, and families can explore challenges, build resilience, and discover meaningful growth. Our approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based practice. We meet each client where they are—honoring their unique experiences, values, and goals—while helping them develop the tools and insight needed to create lasting change. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or personal development, we aim to guide our clients toward greater clarity, balance, and well-being. We take pride in being a diverse and collaborative team united by a shared mission: to make high-quality mental health care accessible, personalized, and grounded in authentic connection. At Arroyo Psychological Services, we don’t just provide therapy—we partner with our clients in creating meaningful, lasting transformation.

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.
