You've tried everything you can think of to feel better but still feel stuck and discouraged. Through therapy at Aspire Counseling, you'll finally start healing and begin moving forward with your life again. Here at Aspire Counseling, we know that you want to feel confident and excited about life. In order to do that, you need to find healing from the things holding you back.

The problem is, you've tried everything you can think of and nothing seems to work leaving you feeling frustrated and hopeless. Our therapists believe you deserve to find true healing. We understand how frustrating it can be to feel stuck and that it's hard to find motivation right now.
Services
You can't seem to carve out extra time in your day to get the mental health care you need. However, you want to feel like the best version of yourself. And, you want to feel in touch with your own feelings, connected to others, and hopeful about the future. You've been having a hard time and you just don't feel like yourself.
The teen years are difficult. You're old enough to have your own thoughts, values, opinions, and emotions. Yet, you still need your parents for a lot of things and generally have to live by their rules. It's almost like you're just stuck in this cycle of negativity and feeling worried all the time.
You always looked forward to going to college and all of the freedom it would provide. You had this picture in your head of finding the perfect group of friends (perhaps through a sport, club, or Greek life), confidently making choices for yourself without parents around to tell you what to do, and of course, taking classes in subjects that you actually care about.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have found the right place. Aspire Counseling provides a safe and supportive environment to provide the best care for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) Mid Missouri community. We provide LGBTQ affirming counseling services to adolescents, teenagers, college students & adults.
At first, it started as a nervous thought. A little worry that morphed into a negative thought cycle. Now, you are held back by that tight knot in your chest telling you "you can't do this". You can't even sleep through the night anymore. If you had a nickel for every time you played the "what if game", you would be able to pay back your student loans plus interest.

Jessica T. is a professional well trained therapist that is culturally sensitive, as well as, bases her treatment using research based methods. I trust Jessica to listen earnestly and work on the issues that are important to me. Working with Jessica has helped our family tremendously and would recommend her to family and friends.

We are so happy to have found Jessica!  She provides exactly the right amount of support, encouragement, and treatment.  Her reliance on treatments that are research based give us confidence that the changes we see in our child are real and lasting.

I would recommend Jessica without reservation. She is both a colleague and friend, which gives me the privilege of knowing her deep level of care for her clients and her extensive knowledge about her approach with treating trauma. Further, I trust her judgment with clinicians and know that she handpicks counselors who will keep that level of care and dedication (and expertise) alive.
