Hello, my name is Casey French and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Through guidance, encouragement and support, I have helped clients of all ages and backgrounds discover a better quality of life. My main area of focus is first responders; police, fire, EMS, and military personnel that work in crisis everyday and that live in a constant state of alertness. Transitioning back into "normal" life with family and friends can be difficult. Not only can asking for help be stressful, but finding the time can be all but impossible. Being able to reach out to someone at times that work best for you is critical and is why I began working with Betterhelp. Are you seeking relief from depression, anxiety, frustrations in relationships, low self esteem? My goal is to provide a safe and supportive setting where you can explore your deepest questions and to help you find ways to become more confident and comfortable in the world. My approach is collaborative and eclectic although I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I will seek to understand you as a unique individual and tailor my approach to what works for you. I am experienced and dedicated to working with you in overcoming the obstacles that cause you distress and to create a more balanced and satisfying life. Let me help you take the first step in accepting your past, living in your present, and changing your future.

I am a professional counselor licensed in the state of Missouri, with about nine years of experience, and over a decade and a half of experience working with addiction and mental health. I have worked with a range of clients, from children to elderly, who have come to me for a variety of issues, including anxiety and stress, depression, relationship issues, addiction, and lack of motivation. There are times in our lives when we need a new vision and someone to help us create strategies to overcome old challenges and take life to the next level. Seeking this change can be a daunting task, but I am here to help support you in your success. My counseling style is rather eclectic, based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with strong influences from Motivational Interviewing, IFS, Solution Focused techniques, and existential psychotherapy. I look forward to working with you!

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, 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. Also, 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.

Hello, my name is Michael Cundiff. I am a therapist with BetterHelp, and look forward to getting to know you. You have taken a bold first step by contacting BetterHelp, reflecting a strength and a good beginning. I enjoy working with people and look forward to speaking with you. My background information is available on my profile along with hours and availability. Forty-five minute sessions seem to work best for most clients, but we can be flexible if you have different expectations. Video, email and chat are the virtual formats, and clients are encouraged to go at their own rate. If you have questions, please ask, but feel free to do so should any come to mind later. I check for messages several times daily and try to respond as quickly as possible. My counseling approach is essentially client-centered, which is to say relationship based, and it is my belief that client and counselor should work together in establishing goals and strategies for solutions. You may have some thoughts on this as well which we can process. Looking forward to speaking with you. Michael Cundiff

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.
