Todd Helm
As a licensed therapist in Missouri, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, with a strong focus on men’s mental health. I understand that many men face unique pressures related to identity, expectations, emotional expression, relationships, and the stigma of asking for help. My work is especially centered on helping men navigate life’s unexpected journeys while building healthier ways to cope, connect, and grow. I help clients explore life purpose, address feelings of guilt and shame, and work through attachment, control, and emotional barriers that may be keeping them stuck. I’m particularly passionate about supporting men experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, anger, relationship difficulties, and the challenge of feeling disconnected from themselves or others. I also work with men who may turn to avoidance, overworking, substance use, or reckless behaviors as a way of managing deeper pain. My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can speak openly without fear of criticism or having to “have it all figured out.” I believe therapy should be practical, meaningful, and grounded in real life. Together, we work to strengthen emotional awareness, improve communication, build resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies that translate beyond the therapy room. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I collaborate closely with clients to create personalized approaches that honor their unique experiences and goals. Whether you’re struggling with life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationship stress, or seeking greater emotional balance, I’m committed to walking alongside you with genuine empathy, professional support, and a clear focus on lasting growth.

Tanadja Barber
I’m TJ Barber, a Board-Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor based in St. Louis, Missouri. I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, racial and ethnic minority clients, caregivers, helping professionals, and adults navigating complex life transitions, relationship concerns, family tension, identity exploration, and emotional burnout. Many of the people I work with are managing the pressure of others’ expectations while also navigating cultural identity, discrimination, marginalization, or the emotional weight of being misunderstood within their families, workplaces, or communities. Therapy with me offers a supportive and creative space to understand your emotions, challenge your inner critic, strengthen boundaries, and explore patterns that may no longer serve you. My approach to minority mental health recognizes that distress does not occur in isolation. Culture, identity, relationships, community, and systemic barriers can all shape emotional well-being and access to support. With more than seven years of clinical experience, I integrate art therapy with existential, cognitive behavioral, relational-cultural, and DBT-informed mindfulness approaches. Artmaking is always optional and can support reflection, emotional expression, and self-discovery when words feel limited. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, healthier relationships, emotional well-being, and a life that feels more authentic and sustainable.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Missouri, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Missouri, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals.
