Counseling in St. Joseph, MO for trauma, anxiety, and depression
If you’re looking for help, this is for you
Do you feel overwhelmed? Maybe with all of your responsibilities, it feels like you just can’t keep all the plates spinning. It’s so exhausting.
Perhaps you’ve always been a little more anxiously-wired than other people, but it used to help you do a good job. Now it may be getting in the way. You might feel tied up in knots all the time or maybe you’ve had panic attacks. You might even feel like nobody understands the pressure you are under.
You are ready to take your life back
You’ve probably read every self-help book you can get your hands on. Or you’ve gone to the gym and tried to meditate. Maybe you upped your self-care game, and you’re still struggling. You know you need some outside help. You really want to find someone you can trust, someone who really understands.
Deanna Smith, LPC - Counselor - Book now
My name is Deanna, and I can help
I am a licensed professional counselor in St Joseph, MO, and I help people who are constantly striving to feel “good enough” to discover what life can be like when fear and worry aren’t in control. I use a mind-body approach that can help you move past the “I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but…” and get your head and heart back in sync. I also bring my whole, authentic self to our sessions. That may mean we have some humor and sarcasm woven in with the deep work we do.
What is therapy like?
Therapy doesn’t have to feel scary or hard. It can feel like your shoulders relaxing, like noticing more room in your body for breath, like having a place where you can just be you and take some time for yourself.
My clients typically see me weekly, at least to start, so they can build momentum that helps them shift out of crisis mode. Not only do they start to handle their anxiety differently, but they also notice changes in their relationships, how they show up in the projects they care about, and in their connections with themselves.
