About Alicia

Alicia seeks to do whatever possible to help you feel safe in counseling. The relationship between the counselor and the client needs to be one that feels warm, inviting, non-judgmental, and encouraging. From the safety of this relationship, you can then feel supported enough to grieve what has been lost and feel pushed to fight for the things the enemy has taken (or been given) from your life.

Alicia has worked in a variety of settings. She has worked in the St. Louis County court, assisting victims of crime and those in domestic violence situations. She also worked for an agency in St. Louis City as the director of a transitional psychiatric group home, serving those with addictions, severe mental illness, and homelessness issues. Alicia founded Revision in 2011. She is determined to offer high quality counseling to every Revision client while also educating and strengthening the local pastors who are also stepping into the helping role daily. She enjoys teaching and speaking on a wide range of topics, with the aim of promoting conversation and understanding on living in a broken world.

Alicia uses a relational approach to counseling, paired with some cognitive behavioral therapy, especially dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and EMDR. DBT has been proven to help those struggling with the emotional rollercoaster and impulsivity of personality disorders as well as those coming out of a traumatic or invalidating childhood. EMDR is a modality used to help process traumatic memories in a safe way to help limit triggers and anxiety associated with past trauma.

About Maria

We are designed to be in relationship with others, and most importantly, with our Creator. We were created to mirror the justice, grace, love, compassion and empathy of God. However, we are completely broken and torn apart by sin. We have been wounded and we have wounded others. Our brokenness, sin and pain all lead us into hiding, abandoning our call to mirror God's image to the world. Maria believes counseling is an opportunity to walk with alongside others as the discover their purpose and design. Maria believes change happens when we have the space to be fully known and fully accepted. Since 2015, Maria has had the honor of walking alongside others as they discover who God created them to be.

Maria is passionate about creating a space where people feel safe to hope again. She has worked with children experiencing loss, difficulties with school, social anxiety, and divorce. She values not just working with the child, but walking alongside the entire family unit. Maria has also worked with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She enjoys counseling children from age five and up as well as families and married couples. She values the interpersonal process approach but also relies on emotionally-focused and family system models of therapy. She understands counseling is a process and considers it a privilege to join someone on their journey of discovering who God made them to be.

  • 8 years of counseling experience with adults, children, teens, and their families

About Marian

Anytime an individual comes through the counseling door, it can be a vulnerable and scary experience. This is especially true when a parent is seeking counseling for their child. Many parents feel unsure, scared, and discouraged when they bring their child to therapy. However, it is a sign of strength when a parent becomes willing to seek help for themselves and for their child. Marian holds a strong view that healing for each child starts with the family. It is for this reason that she works hand in hand with the client and their families. Therapy, especially play therapy, is a process that takes time, but can be very healing and safe for your child. Marian uses a mix of play therapy, coping skills, art activities, and mindfulness to help your child process and heal. Marian will also listen to and talk with your family to come up with ways to support your child at home, school, and other social situations.

The body has the ability to remember trauma as much as the brain. Marian builds this into her approach when working with adults. She strives to use body awareness (referred to as somatic awareness) to help you become attuned to how your body remembers your past trauma. Marian also uses an assortment of imagery work to help you find coping skills that can help you experience healing in a deeper way. She also strives to help you emotionally and verbally process how your past trauma and experiences impact your current thinking and situations.

Marian seeks to be warm, inviting, and understanding to everyone she meets with. She wants you to feel heard, understood, and empowered when you leave therapy. It is her goal to help you feel more connected to others, God, and yourself when you are done with counseling.

  • M.A. in Counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary
  • 15+ years as an active member of Wycliffe Bible Translators
  • 4+ years working in the field of Member Care in an overseas context

  • Trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

About Jeana

Have you been hurt by a past church or religious experience? Has it knocked you off balance and led you to doubt your relationships with other people, with God, or even within yourself? If so, you are not alone. Most of us at some point have walked through various degrees of Spiritual Abuse ranging from mild, disorienting misuse of power to full-blown cult experiences. These toxic systems and Spiritual Abuse don't have to have the last word. There is hope for healing, integration, and attachment repair.

I use an eclectic blend of DBT and trauma-focused therapies (including but not limited to EMDR) to help validate and process your experience. I primarily do this through the lenses of attachment and culture, helping you to understand and reorient yourself within your own story.

If Spiritual Abuse is part of your story, you do not have to walk through it alone. By nature it is isolating, disorienting, and oppressive... in contrast, I invite you into a space of validation, understanding, and community. Whether through one of my groups or a one-on-one counseling experience, we can work together to help you heal and move forward.

  • 27 years of full-time K-12 teaching experience

About Andy

As a Christian, I believe that God loves to make beauty out of brokenness, and no person’s life is beyond redemption. As a counselor, my job is not to judge people but to offer real hope and tools for growth. I am committed to helping people face their troubles with greater honesty and increased resiliency.

I am especially interested in caring for the caregivers. I want to help those who help others, such as parents, first responders, health care workers, pastors, and all those who find themselves fatigued by providing for the needs of others.

I am not afraid of the challenges that my clients are facing, whether it is depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, addictions, financial troubles, marital strife, parenting problems, or a mental health disorder.

In order to meet the varied needs of my clients, I incorporate aspects of the following theories in my practice: interpersonal process, trauma-informed therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), and emotionally focused therapy (EFT).

Testimonials

"Andy has been a huge blessing to my life. I have faced so much childhood trauma, and he has walked by my side teaching me, giving me tools, and praying with me to get through the bipolar disorder that I face each day. Andy has been a phenomenal counselor and teacher when my thoughts were flawed. He has helped me with care and is not ashamed of being bold in correction with a loving hand along the way. He has helped me to change into the man that my family needs." -- male, 27

"Andy has been instrumental in my recovery from PTSD. He's a good listener and cares a lot. He always remembers the little details of things we discussed on prior visits. He gave me effective tools that I still use to this day. I highly recommend Andy." -- male, 42

About Kathi

We all need help and support from others to navigate life's challenges. Reaching out for help when you are hurting takes courage. Counseling can provide that help through a relationship of understanding, acceptance, and compassion that creates the necessary safety to tell your story.

It is my goal to provide that safe environment when walking alongside you on your journey to healing and restoring relationships. My personal journey of walking with God in times of suffering drives my desire to help you see God's grace and love in the midst of pain and pursue the healing you desire.

I believe change happens when we are able to reconnect with ourselves through the experience of being known by others. It is my privilege to support you in this process of self-discovery and work collaboratively to help explore new possibilities for your life. I use an interpersonal approach to counseling along with cognitive behavioral (DBT) informed practices if you suffer from past trauma, grief, or spiritual abuse. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and groups.

Education and Experience

  • B.A. Sociology from Covenant College, Lookout Mountain, Georgia, with a Minor in Psychology
  • M.A. in Counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary, St Louis, MO
  • Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

About Jennifer

Jenn believes we are emotional, relational and spiritual beings, and considers it a privilege to walk alongside those who are in hard places and on difficult journeys. We are made to be in community, and we need one another. Unfortunately, when the unexpected happens, shame can sneak in and make us want to hide and retreat. Jenn understands that life rarely goes exactly as planned. On this side of heaven, we can experience the harsh realities of life. Humans are not always kind. When we feel ignored, mistreated, and/or wounded, it is painful.

It is in these dark and lonely places that we need someone to help us navigate the depth of our pain and to help us to be seen. It is in these moments that Jenn is forever grateful that we have a God who fiercely pursues us and she hopes to model this pursuit in the room with every client.

Therapy is a means to invite restoration into our brokenness. Jenn values empathy, understanding, and compassion in her work as a therapist. She is trained in EMDR, a type of psychotherapy that helps access traumatic memories and move them from emotional activation to a more rational place. Jenn’s eclectic approach as a therapist has developed over 20 years of counseling experience, and she utilizes cognitive behavioral theory along with attachment based systems theory.

About Devin

Counseling is a space where we can safely confront the reality of living in a world full of suffering and brokenness.

Devin hopes to empower her clients to reflect, confront, and wrestle with their understanding of the world. It is a privilege for Devin to collaborate with her clients and explore the tender places of their stories.

  • Provides Trauma-informed care
  • Experienced in treating women with developmental trauma, anxiety, depression and relational issues
  • Supervised in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

About Kathleen

I work to help clients rebuild a relationship with themselves that tells them they are good, and that the adversity they have inevitably experienced is not their fault. Many of my clients have been silenced and disembodied through ongoing traumatic relational experiences that have left behind painful ways of existing in the world. I enjoy working with adults with various issues including emotional abuse, powerlessness, relational issues (mother-daughter relationships), boundary issues, anxiety, depression, confusion and anger.

I focus my energy into creating a safe supportive space where you can begin to know and trust yourself, experiencing a sense of empowerment. I work from a gentle experiential approach using mind and body awareness to guide you in engaging with your authentic self. Together we honor all parts of yourself, looking at where you have been, where you are now and where you desire to go. In this process, deeper connection with yourself and other people happens, allowing for hope and healing to enter your life.

I work from an attachment perspective, with a focus on developmental trauma, integrating the mind and body through Internal Family Systems, Inner Child work, Narrative and Somatic Experiencing theories, with emphasis in the NeuroAffective Relational Model.

About Taylor

Although I do not yet know you, it is my personal belief that you are a person worth knowing and your story is one deserving to be explored. While life often attempts to convince us that we are defined by the pain and hardships we have endured, healing and growth are possible and daring to hope is among the bravest acts one can do. You are made for flourishing, and I would consider it a great honor to partner with you as we journey forward towards restoration together.

Safety, trust, curiosity, collaboration, and empowerment are core values of mine which I seek to implement within the counseling room. It is my hope to foster a space where you can bring your whole self and story into the room where you can be welcomed, embraced, and known. I am passionate about working with adults and older adolescents as they process trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relational issues, spiritual abuse, and more.
