Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and refreshingly human. I bring extensive experience in relationships, sexuality, trauma, and neurodivergence, along with a genuine curiosity about what makes each person tick. You won’t find judgment, canned advice, or a one-size-fits-all approach here. Instead, we’ll make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, explore what’s underneath them, and find strategies that actually fit your life. If you’re looking for a therapist who can handle complicated conversations, appreciate nuance, and help you create meaningful change while still being a real person in the room, we may be a great fit.

Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I’m a clinical psychologist who believes therapy works best when it feels thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely human. I work with adults who may be navigating stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, emotional patterns, questions of identity or direction, or simply a sense that something in their lives is no longer working as well as they would like.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychology, but I do not believe therapy should feel mechanical or overly clinical. I try to understand each person in the context of their experiences, relationships, values, and the ways they have learned to cope with life. Together, we look not only at what is difficult, but also at the patterns underneath those difficulties and the possibilities for responding differently.
I often help clients develop greater self-awareness, tolerate discomfort more effectively, challenge rigid or unhelpful ways of thinking, and make gradual changes that are realistic and sustainable. At the same time, I believe therapy is not simply about fixing problems. It can also be about understanding yourself more deeply, becoming more intentional in how you live, and creating a life that feels more aligned with what matters to you.
My practice is provided entirely through online therapy, allowing me to work with clients from the privacy and convenience of their own space. I currently provide teletherapy to clients in states where I am licensed or authorized to practice through PSYPACT.

Edmund LaBarbara
Psychologist, PsyD
As a clinical psychologist extensively trained in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder at Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital’s Institute (OCDI), I specialize in helping adults break free from overwhelming cycles of anxiety, avoidance, and compulsions.
From our very first sessions, we will thoroughly map out your specific challenges and build a individualized, actionable roadmap using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), CBT, and ACT. By utilizing secure teletherapy, we can do live, real-world exposures directly where your triggers occur—leading to a significant reduction in symptoms and lasting improvements in your daily well-being.
I am deeply passionate about providing culturally responsive, affirmative care. I strive to build a collaborative, secure space that honors individuals from all diverse sociocultural identities and backgrounds.

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.

Dr. Laura Testiler
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
When I ask clients why they’ve come to therapy, many share a simple hope: "I just want to feel better." Often, they’re tired of feeling depressed, anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, or angry. They're unhappy in a relationship or job or are having trouble adjusting to a life change (marriage, divorce/break-up, becoming a parent, losing a loved one, pursuing a degree or career). As a psychologist with years of experience, I know how challenging these experiences can be. And I also know that positive change is possible.
I'm a licensed psychologist based in Florida offering virtual individual therapy to adults in Florida and 40+ PSYPACT states. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I especially enjoy working with adults who grew up in dysfunctional families, helping them heal from the past and recognize how their experiences shape their current relationships. I am also a mom of 3 and am passionate about supporting women in their transition to motherhood. As a perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C), I have completed advanced training in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
