Tamara Williams-Reding
Hi! I'm Tamara and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 30 years. I have had a wonderfully varied career working with people of all ages and with all types of issues. The first thing to know about me is that I believe in change. I facilitate it, I see it everyday, and I myself experience it. When we are struggling to find our way, it is often hard to remember that change is a constant - it is the one thing we can count on! The tricky thing about change is that it can be very scary - we as humans like to know what is going to happen and how we can prepare for it! Life often just doesn't give a heads up - so each of us need to have the skills within to cope, and thrive, when change arrives. Counseling with me helps discover and strengthen those skills - all within a supportive and caring therapeutic relationship! Because people are different, I have a variety of treatment options in my counseling practice that is tailored to specific needs. I have training in Client Centered Therapy, Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma and Motivational Interviewing to name just a few. At the base of all these theories is the relationship between the therapist and the client. This relationship is paramount to successful outcomes - I believe clients need to feel heard, supported and validated. I love my work, I love helping people change and feel better, and most importantly, I love connecting with clients. Hope we work together soon! Tamara Areas of Expertise: Depression Stress, Anxiety Relationship issues Life transitions Psycho-Oncology I also have experience in LGBT and Queer issues, Family Systems, Trauma and Abuse, Grief, Sexual Health, Education, Higher Education Transitioning and Disability Access, Parenting, Coaching, Compassion Fatigue and Self-Care, Social Skills Acquisition and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Hannah Mooney
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri with 4 years of professional experience. I’ve worked with families, couples, and individuals from ages of 4 years old to those in their mid 60’s, and tend to specialize most in working with adolescents and those in their young to mid adult years. I have experience in helping those with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and overall helping people learn and understand themselves more. With each unique person I work with, I strive to form a trusting and strong therapeutic rapport, and to provide a safe, empathetic environment of unconditional positive regard to help support each person through their healing journey. I’ve been a therapy client myself, and it takes work, time, commitment, and patience. All of that can feel scary and overwhelming on its own, and it’s through my therapeutic approach where I strive to help therapy be an opportunity to help those I work with learn how to overcome challenges and grow in empowerment, and to be able to continue maintaining that growth on their own even when they no longer need therapy. I tend to utilize therapeutic interventions such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Motivational Interviewing skills, Solution based approaches, DBT skills (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), and I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). It’s through these interventions that I work to meet each individual where they’re at in their growth, and support them in becoming empowered to make consistent and long term progress for themselves.
