Do you have a child who is on the autism spectrum? This can be a difficult illness to diagnose and treat. Some of the signs are no eye contact, resistant to changes in routine, inability to communicate, and inappropriate social interactions. The City of Creve Coeur has some of the top autism psychiatrists in the Midwest who can help. 

Some of the activities in Creve Coeur are very educational and can be good for children with autism if you know how to make it easier on them. They do not like crowds of people, so it is best not to go anywhere crowded. However, the psychiatrists in Creve Coeur can give you tips on how you can take your youngster to places like the Holocaust Museum and Learning Center as well as many of the parks available.

Welcome and thank you for considering my services. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor currently practicing in the state of Missouri for over 10 years. Counseling is my 2nd career and my true calling. Before I decided to follow this path, I spent over 15 years in the travel industry, living in Pennsylvania and Texas, and traveling across the US and Europe. I mention this because I believe it's helped me to become more culturally aware and open-minded in both my personal life and career. I have experience working with adults of all ages and across many settings, including private practice and intensive outpatient programs. Some of the most common issues I help my clients work through are depression, anxiety, work related stress, relationship problems, low self esteem, grief, divorce, chronic health issues, and dealing with major life changes. Previous clients have described me as compassionate, caring, practical, jovial, helpful, and encouraging and I continue to be inspired by their courage and dedication. I consider my approach to be positive, holistic, and solution focused and I specialize in cognitive and dialectical behavior therapy. I believe mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are keys to a life worth living. It would be an honor to accompany you on this journey.

Are you someone who struggles with self image concerns and wants to have a positive relationship with their body? Have you found yourself struggling with symptoms of worry, anxiety or depression? Do you want to start becoming active, both for physical and mental health, but don’t know where to start? I specialize in helping those with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, poor body image, healthy eating, and anxieties surrounding self-esteem and healthy self image. Taking a step forward to improve overall mental and physical well-being can be overwhelming. Our inner worlds can feel disconnected as our bodies often influence what we do and how we feel. Certain physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. As a provisionally licensed counselor and NASM certified personal trainer, I aim to increase quality of life by adding physical activity in session, alongside mental health counseling, to help you feel connected again. Doing this alone can be confusing and stressful, but by working together, we will realize your strength, and move to complete your picture of health.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri. I have 10 years of experience working with youth and adolescents as a School Counselor. While my main expertise is with younger people, I have worked with parents, colleagues, and other adults who are on their own journey of self help. I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self harm, self-esteem issues, loss of a loved one, relationship issues, different forms of trauma, and ADHD. As a counselor, I want my clients to feel welcome and accepted. I try to provide a warm safe environment for people to be themselves and to tell their story. My approach is usually very person-centered. Tailoring my approach to fit each client is, in my opinion, a very important part of the therapeutic process. Your experience, while it may be similar to others, is unique and special. I want to be your partner on your way to self discovery, and helping you to use tools you already have in your everyday life, but may not be aware of.

Do you want a therapist who takes your needs and concerns seriously and actually calls you back? Are you seeking someone who will encourage you toward positive change and follow up on things that I say I will? That's me. I’m Denise Mason, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Missouri. I have been licensed since 2019 and have worked my entire 29-year career helping those with mental health issues. I have experience helping adults and youth with a variety of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, and difficulty adjusting to various challenges life can present. I use an eclectic approach to therapy that includes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Enhancement, Insight-Oriented Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My approach involves helping my clients understand themselves and increasing their skills to better manage their distress so they can feel and function well. Change is difficult without awareness, so I will work to help you increase your self-awareness. Awareness is difficult when you can’t think straight due to depression, anxiety, or other stressors, so working to calm the nervous system is an important part of our work together as well. I’m passionate about helping my clients feel heard and understood while providing the tools and skills necessary for self-empowerment toward their healing journey. I prioritize building a collaborative relationship with my clients to assist them in making lasting changes. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist with experience helping with relationship difficulties, trauma, work-related challenges, educational and disability-related issues, and important life transitions. I believe in treating everyone with respect, kindness, sensitivity, and compassion and will tailor our dialog and treatment to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to step toward living a more authentic and fulfilling life. I would love to support & empower you in that journey. I received my Master’s in Psychology from the University of Central Missouri, which included an internship working with sexual trauma survivors at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital in Kansas City. I coordinated support and services for individuals with developmental disabilities through the Missouri Department of Mental Health for 11 years. Many of my clients also struggled with mental health and substance use issues. I transferred to the Department of Education, where I provided vocational counseling for 16 years. In this setting, I assisted youth and adults with a variety of mental health, learning, and physical challenges to achieve their career aspirations by providing counseling to help them overcome barriers. Most recently, I have provided intensive outpatient group and individual therapy in a hospital setting to older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and suicidal thoughts. I have truly valued the opportunity to help every person throughout the years. On a more personal note, I’m on a continual journey of self-discovery and learning every day to promote my wellness, fulfillment, and personal happiness. I approach life with a growth mindset and the understanding we can all learn, pivot, and make adjustments to improve our lives. Learning never stops. I won’t pretend to know all of the answers, but I commit to helping you work toward finding yours.
