Jessica Oliver, Aspire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Oftentimes people come to counseling not because they have a specific mental illness, but simply because they're overwhelmed by the stress in their lives. Our therapists give you a safe space to talk through those stressors. We'll help you process your thoughts about situations in your life and commit to values driven actions to reduce that stress.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
When stress becomes chronic, it can feel like you're constantly reacting instead of intentionally living. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep you feeling overwhelmed, including the thoughts, expectations, or responsibilities that may be contributing to your stress. You'll learn more flexible ways of responding to difficult internal experiences so they no longer have to control your day. Therapy can help you reconnect with what matters most, even during life's busiest seasons.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Chronic stress can become so familiar that it feels like the baseline, showing up as tension, irritability, mental overload, or constant urgency. Many women continue to meet responsibilities while quietly feeling stretched thin. In our work together, we focus on identifying the patterns that keep stress in place, building more supportive ways of responding to pressure, and creating space for recovery so that your system is not always operating in survival mode.

Online in Columbia, MO
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.
