Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Career concerns often extend beyond choosing the right job or making the next move. They can reflect deeper questions about identity, expectations, burnout, and the pressure to succeed while maintaining balance in other areas of life. Many women I work with are navigating competing demands between professional growth and personal well-being. Therapy offers space to clarify what matters most, understand the patterns influencing your decisions, and move forward in a way that feels more aligned and sustainable.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Our careers are not static, but ever-changing. Sometimes we find ourselves at a cross-roads and we aren't sure whether or not to make a big career change. Other times we are really happy in our careers but are struggling interpersonally with supervisors or co-workers. We spend so much time at work that if it isn't a healthy environment for us, it can lead to burnout and stress. By learning new strategies and coping skills, you can feel more balanced and fulfilled at work.

Springfield is Missouri's third-largest city and the hub of the Ozarks region, home to Missouri State University and several other colleges, which gives it an active student population alongside a broader community of families, retirees, and healthcare and service sector workers. The cultural landscape of southwest Missouri is predominantly evangelical and conservative, which influences how mental health is perceived in the community, though awareness and acceptance of therapy have grown considerably in recent years. CoxHealth and Mercy Hospital both operate significant behavioral health programs in Springfield, making the city an important regional resource for mental health care across the rural Ozarks. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, faith and religious identity, family and relationship issues, and the particular stresses of navigating mental health care in a region where stigma is gradually but meaningfully declining.
