Jessica Oliver, Aspire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I specialize in helping people who are tired of just "managing" their anxiety or trauma symptoms and are ready for real, lasting change. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals, working parents, and teens who look like they have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted on the inside.I use evidence-based approaches—including EMDR, CBT, and ACT—because I believe you deserve treatment that actually works, not endless sessions of "how was your week?" My style is warm and direct. I'll meet you with compassion and help you build practical skills, but I'll also gently push you toward the growth you're looking for.If you're in Missouri and ready to stop white-knuckling your way through life, I'd love to talk.

Emily Crawford-Thompson Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I recognize the courage that seeking help requires, and I am honored be a part of your healing journey. To me, this is much more than a job or even a career. This is my life’s calling. I specialize in helping people recover from various traumas and effects of trauma including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I also specialize in helping neurodivergent individuals, including diagnosis and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I enjoy respectful collaboration to encourage you to discover and build on your inner resources and strengths. I incorporate evidence-based approaches including Psychological Evaluations, Interpersonal Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD. Every person has a unique and important purpose, and I look forward to helping you discover yours. I am a genuine and compassionate person who can also be direct with you if you need a little challenge; yet, my style is gentle enough that you may not even realize you are being challenged! People tend to open up and feel at ease with me, and benefit from improved insight and perspective with my questions which guide you to better understand yourself, your life direction, values, strengths, and purpose.

Taylor Esworthy
Marriage and Family Therapist, PMFT
Hi, I’m Taylor. If you’ve found your way here, something in your life might feel heavier than it looks on the outside. Maybe you’re showing up for everyone else while running on empty, feeling stuck in relationship patterns, or navigating a transition that’s left you unsure of who you are. In therapy, you don’t have to have it all together, you just get to be human. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Merritt Posten Benz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.
