Merritt Leonhardt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
Within any family there are many moving parts, and each members' experiences and struggles have an impact on the functioning of the whole family unit . This is both good news and bad news. The good news is change in one area, or in one member, impacts the family as a whole. The hard part is stepping out and finding a place to start - and I'm here to say, "it won't be as hard as it feels right now."

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Raising children in a fast-paced world presents complex behavioral, emotional, and systemic challenges. Utilizing evidence-based behavioral strategies and positive parenting frameworks, I help parents navigate developmental milestones, ADHD management, and emotional dysregulation in children. Our clinical work focuses on shifting from reactive to intentional parenting, establishing healthy boundaries, reducing household conflict, and building cohesive, supportive home environments.

Tracy Hadel
Counselor/Therapist, LSCSW
Parenting the child/teen/adult with special needs requires an individualized approach. It is not easy, and many people who have not experienced having a child with disabilities tend to criticize and offer unsolicited and inappropriate advice to those parents. I can help provide guidance and resources for those parents.

I help adults navigate the stress, guilt, overwhelm, and relationship strain that can come with parenting. Therapy can support you in managing emotions, strengthening boundaries, responding more intentionally, and caring for yourself while trying to care well for your children.

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.
