You’re ready to move through this uncertainty.
St. Louis Christian counseling online for women, teens, and parents.
You’re longing to find a safe space to sort through it all. Maybe you’ve been so busy with all the doing that there hasn’t been time to process any of it.
the exhaustion and indecision are taking a toll and you don’t want to keep trudging through without some clarity.
I’m Amie, and I’m here to help.
My approach to counseling is grounded in trust and collaboration. Whether you are a teen or an adult, my role is to meet you where you are and help you develop the skills and insights to navigate whatever comes your way with confidence and clarity.
If it were just a matter of ‘how to’ you would already have it figured out.
You’re resourceful and know how to solve problems. You probably have good coping skills, know how you should talk to your kids, and your friends often come to you for support. But life and being human is so much more complex than that.
That’s why therapy can be so powerful.
It’s time, connection, and relationship that brings you back to yourself and frees up the curious, imaginative, heart centered, true you that knows exactly what you need.
Safe Space
God calls us to bind up the brokenhearted. The bind doesn’t do the healing - it provides a safe space for healing to happen. Our sessions are a safe container of support that offer healing by reflecting the radical love of God for you.
My guiding principles
Honesty
In this safe space, the things you need to heal will rise to the surface. We all long for wholeness and meaning and when you feel safe, valued and loved in session you are empowered to face every part of your story.
Compassion
God’s compassion for us is all encompassing; by allowing this compassion to touch every part of our lives it shifts us from just living to thriving.
Connection
This process of seeing ourselves the way God sees us connects us to ourselves, our Creator, and our story in ways that are life giving.
My style
I believe that there is beauty, pain, and possibility in all of life’s seasons.
Counseling is a chance to slow down, talk through your experiences, and make sense of your life again - without the pressure to look on the bright side or worry about hurting anyone’s feelings.
Difficult seasons offer us a chance to face some of our biggest struggles and uncover our biggest strengths. Support at critical times in our journey is so important for us to grow and flourish despite the inevitable suffering that comes with being human - I know because I have lived that reality and I couldn’t have done it alone - you don’t have to either.
Clients often say they can tell how much I care about them and their stories. I am truly invested in each client’s joys and sorrows, and I’ll never diminish your experiences. Instead, I’ll support you to take a deeper. compassionate look at who you are, how you operate, and how that fits in with your faith, the world, and your community. Together we’ll tune into what God is showing you at this point in your journey.
I wonder what this season is offering you?
Christian Counseling with me is…
Safe, judgment free space.
Having a counselor that understands the unique culture of Christian communities.
An environment that echoes the radical, complete love of God for us.
A place where faith transitions and doubts are welcomed.
Christian Counseling with me is not…
Specific beliefs or values being pushed on you.
Your experience of God, faith, or life being invalidated.
Spiritual advising or Christian platitudes that diminish your experience or needs.
Being told that your struggles are a failure of faith.
