Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I approach therapy as a practical and relational process rather than a set of techniques. People usually come in when long-standing ways of coping no longer fit their current life, even if those strategies once made sense. My work focuses on understanding how those patterns developed, how they continue to function, and how they can be reorganized in ways that support greater flexibility and self-direction. Change matters to me as it shows up in how a person lives, relates, and responds outside the therapy space.

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.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
Middle Path Wellness Collective was created to be the kind of therapy space people don’t realize they’ve been needing: a place where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or carry everything by yourself. Our clinicians work collaboratively, meaning we spend a great deal of time on training and consulting with each other. This approach gives clients the benefit of a team deeply committed to thoughtful, relationship-centered care. We focus on helping people understand themselves more clearly, strengthen their relationships, and create meaningful change that actually lasts, all within an environment that feels grounded, genuine, and human.

Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Thank you for visiting my profile! Reaching out takes courage, and I am glad you are here. Anxiety, depression, and burnout can make everyday life feel heavier than it should. With practice, you can feel your emotions without becoming overwhelmed. You can build confidence to make effective decisions and assert your needs. You can enjoy meaningful relationships without compromising your boundaries or values.
I first earned my BA in psychology from Columbia University, followed by my doctorate in psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology/Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. My previous roles as a school psychologist and special education chairperson have guided my work successfully, not only with students, but also with educators experiencing frustration and burnout in a fast-paced, demanding world.
In addition to being licensed in Maine and New York, I hold the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) credential from the PSYPACT Commission, which allows me me to provide out-of-network care for clients in participating states across the country. To check if your state is eligible, please visit: https://psypact.gov/.
