Sarah Leibrand

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Online TherapyAccepting New Clients

I help mothers navigate parenting stress, work-life balance challenges, and the emotional weight of raising children, some of whom may have additional developmental or medical needs. Some moms I work with are also navigating added stress related to their child’s development, learning needs, or medical concerns, while others are simply feeling burned out, anxious, or stretched beyond capacity. In therapy, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, less reactive, and more steady in your day-to-day life. Moms often put themselves last; but you matter too. As a foster parent and mother myself, I understand how easy it is to put your own needs last. But you matter too. Therapy is a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and focus on your own healing.

Christy Phelps

Licensed Professional Counselor

Online & In-Person

I am a licensed professional counselor with 17 years of experience. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and wannabe philosopher. When I am not in the office, I am probably reading, bird-watching, or laughing at my own jokes. In the profession I've chosen, my specialties are couples and trauma. I also employ a compassionate yet evidence-based approach to help you achieve the goals that matter most to you. My clients say I am easy to talk to, and my sense of humor makes therapy a little easier during the 'hard' moments. I understand that the problems you bring to me are significant to you, and I will treat them with the importance they deserve. I honor that you are ready to explore what healing might feel like. We will go at your pace because what matters to you matters to me. In case you need to know, yes, I am LGBTQIA2S+ friendly, do see couples, and celebrate diversity in all its forms.

Reuben Smith

In-Person Therapy

I work at Hope Counseling Center in Branson, MO. I work with clients who grapple with anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship struggles, trauma, psychosis, sex/porn addiction spiritual abuse, and grief. I view my clients as the experts of their own lives and respect their autonomy. I am a EMDR trained therapist. I am an Adjunct Faculty at Evangel University, teaching Counseling Theories, Assessment, Couple & Family Therapy, Telemental Counseling, Child & Elder Abuse, and Intimate Partner Violence. Though I provide treatment to people of all faiths or none at all, I integrate the Christian faith into the counseling process for those who appreciate that perspective. My counseling office is a shame-free zone, where you are free to heal and be whole.

What's your experience with relationship counseling?

I have been working with couples and relationship therapy for the past 3 years. I enjoy helping couples grow and find their path.

I am a Licensed Profession Counselor with 10 years of experience. I graduated in 2013 from Lindenwood University with an MA in Professional Counseling. In 2018, I graduated from Maryland Global Campus with an MS in Digital Forensics and Cyber Investigations. My therapeutic orientation is a person-centered CBT approach. I approach therapy by focusing on the client’s strengths and assisting them in learning skills involving thoughts and behaviors that can be used to manage chronic and everyday concerns, even after they have completed therapy. I also have specialized training in Mindfulness and use this skill set with many of my clients. I have experience working with couples, families, children, stress-related concerns, anxiety, anger, and Autism Spectrum related issues. In addition, I have experience with survivors of trauma and abuse. I have experience working with patients with online compulsive behaviors related to pornography, gaming, and social media.

Your emotions are valuable clues...and sometimes they can overwhelm, frustrate, or create conflict in our lives leaving us feeling hurt, anxious, disappointed, taken for granted or lost. I can help you get to the core meaning of the clues your emotions, your body, and your relationships are giving you. It’s a difficult step to ask for help to sort things out. I believe we weren’t meant to figure life out on our own and I would be honored to be a part of your exploration to find more meaning within your life. What my clients say is that my approach immediately creates a sense of relief that “someone gets it” and starts an excitement to look at the whys and hows of what they feel so they can allow space for change.

Jeremy Didier

Licensed ADHD & Addiction Therapist

Online & In-Person

ADHD is my specialty! I've been an ADHD coach for over a decade and I'm a licensed master social worker and addiction counselor. I love helping adults discover ways of calming the chaos in their homes. More often than not, we find that they've had ADHD this entire time and no one recognized it....until now. Looking forward to meeting you!

Kimberly Winsor

Psychotherapist

People think you have it all together, but they have no idea how much you struggle. Feeling exhausted and ashamed, your self-esteem sinks lower by the day. You feel like an imposter. Your success feels fragile and being overwhelmed plagues you. You feel disconnected and isolated from family and friends but have no clue how to repair those relationships. I help clients learn techniques to lessen suffering and explore what a meaningful life means to them. Together, we will unravel your story. And in that safe connection, I will help you confront the shame and fear that come from believing you’re not good enough or don’t matter. I will help develop a healthier relationship with yourself and others.
