Greetings, I will start by saying thank you for taking the first step in becoming a better version of you!! I would welcome the opportunity in assisting you in making that happen. My name is Tashima Kinney, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) which I obtained in 2007. I have over 20 years of experience working with kids, families, and adults in various capacities. I obtained my BA in Psychology from Chicago State University and my Master of Education from the University of M0-St. Louis. I have attended numerous trainings over the years, i.e. (Mental Health 1st Aid, Trauma Informed Care, Managing Children with Problem Sexual Behaviors, etc), that have assisted me in meeting the needs of those I have worked with. I draw from various therapeutic modalities as each person represents their own set of areas to work on. My philosophy throughout my career has been to think outside the box. This has allowed many clients to be successful by reflecting on what was, is, and where they want to be in the future. I look forward to working with you to assist you in achieving your goals.

Welcome! 🤗 I’m Rhonda Palmer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, human being, and a big believer that change happens best in a space that feels safe, real, and judgment free. I have over 17 years of experience in Social Work, and I'm licensed in Missouri, Texas, and Arizona. I often assist Highly Sensitive People in navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, self esteem, neurodivergent experiences (including autism and ADHD), and more. I’m also certified as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional and Autism Spectrum Clinical Specialist. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself to be accepted, this is your space to drop the mask. I don’t believe in “fixing” who you are. Instead, I believe in helping you understand yourself, work passed old wounds, and to support you in working towards building a life for yourself that honors your strengths. I work best with people who are ready to be real, even if “real” means messy, unsure, or figuring it out one step at a time. You don’t need to impress me or get everything “right.” However, you do need to show up with honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and a willingness to grow because that’s how real change happens. During our sessions, we’ll work together in a way that feels collaborative, respectful, and grounded. I’ll bring compassion and care, but I’ll also hold boundaries so our space stays safe and balanced. I don’t work well with people looking to control others, avoid responsibility, or seek validation without reflection. During our sessions, I’ll utilize therapeutic modalities such as CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution Focused Therapy, and Brainspotting. Mostly, I’ll bring empathy, humor, and the belief that you already have the wisdom inside of you, I’m just here to help you uncover it. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” - Albert Einstein “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” - Nelson Mandela If you’re ready for this kind of work, I welcome you.

I am licensed in Missouri with over 20 years of clinical and counseling experience. Please note that I cannot take clients who reside in another state. I also have over 25 years teaching teaching social work and human services. I have experience in helping people cope with life changes as well as with relationship issues, family conflicts, and parenting issues as well as anxiety, depression, and stress. My clinical approach is the use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy with positive psychology approaches as well as mindfulness, and aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Depending on your needs. You can read a description of Cognitive Behavior Therapy from the America Psychological Society from their web site here: https://www.apa.org/ptsd-guideline/patients-and-families/cognitive-behavioral Neuroscientist Rick Hanson discovered that our brain has a natural negativity bias to internalize negative experiences more deeply than positive ones. According to Dr. Hanson, the brain is like velcro for negative experiences and teflon for positive ones. However we can learn skills to help us work with that bias in a more positive way. I find it useful to explore not only what you want to accomplish in therapy, but also what is going right since they are the foundation you will be building on. I often provide clients with the opportunity to do "homework," which can include both activities, and reading. You are the expert of your story, and we all have strengths that can assist us in dealing with challenges. Our individual strengths that are the foundation we all build on.
