Grief counselors and therapists in Farmington, MO

I am seasoned therapist with over 10 years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of clientele.

I have been married for 41 years and am a mother and grandmother. I have have an MSW degree and have been in private practice as a therapist for 27 years. I prefer serving adults and have a passion for individual and couples counseling.

I help my clients see patterns in their thoughts and behaviors that they may not recognize. You’ll learn coping skills and how to reframe unhealthy thought patterns, DBT skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in the state of Missouri.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, physical health concerns, or trying to navigate a major life transition. You may feel stuck, emotionally exhausted, uncertain about the future, or disconnected from yourself and the life you want to create. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors facing anxiety, depression, women's issues, identity concerns, family stress, physical health challenges, grief and loss, panic symptoms, trauma, and major life changes. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking a supportive space where they can better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier ways of coping. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, identify strengths that may have been overlooked, and build practical tools that support healing, resilience, and meaningful personal growth. My goal is to help you feel more confident, empowered, and capable of navigating life's challenges while creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from Loyola University Chicago's School of Social Work (Master of Social Work). I have 10+ years in the mental health field and I have worked with multiple populations throughout the years. I gained special interest in mental health after working with pregnant women and adolescents. I became passionate about working with women and oppressed populations after working in multiple medical settings. I am committed to reducing mental health stigma through education and conversations addressing mental illness and holism. I enjoy helping others achieve their goals and I feel passionate about working with women, caregivers, oppressed populations, as well as the maternal health population. I have a person-centered approach, which allows me to collaborate with the client as a member of their team on their pursuit of optimal wellness. Although I am a licensed qualified mental health professional, I identify myself as a guide who collaborates with her clients in order to help lead them to healing and restoration. I believe that every person has the power to choose healing !

I’m an affirming, open-minded therapist who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, panic, stress, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and major life changes. I also support clients dealing with maternal mental health concerns, including the emotional weight that can come with pregnancy, postpartum changes, infertility, and adjusting to a new season of life.

Since earning my master’s in 2021, I have worked in mental health with both children and adults in settings including crisis care, which has deepened my understanding of how overwhelming life can feel when symptoms start affecting your relationships, confidence, and daily routine. My goal is to offer a space that feels warm, approachable, compassionate, and real.

I believe everyone has the capacity to grow, heal, and create meaningful change in their lives. I work with adults navigating alcohol and substance abuse, trauma, depression, stress, and relationship challenges in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where they feel safe being fully themselves.

Many of the clients I support feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed by stress, disconnected in relationships, or stuck in unhealthy coping patterns. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen emotional resilience, and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.

First of all, I am NOT your typical psychotherapist.

I'm pretty casual. I wear jeans and the occasional t-shirt to the office. Makeup went out the window when Covid hit. I have a dry sense of humor and sarcasm is my second language.

I like to sprinkle "f*ck" into my everyday vocab like little bits of colorful confetti. Feel free to add to the fun.

Life has a way of bringing us to crossroads. You may be feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationship patterns, addictions, grief, or simply sensing that the life you're living no longer fits who you're becoming. Perhaps you've spent years taking care of everyone else and now find yourself wondering, "What about me?" I specialize in working with adults navigating life's transitions, especially midlife and beyond. I often describe this season as "middle-escence". Like adolescence, it can bring enormous change-changing relationships, aging parents, launching adult children, career shifts, retirement, health concerns, questions about identity, purpose, and meaning. While these transitions can feel unsettling, they also offer an opportunity for profound growth.

Hi, my name is Jodi Mahurin. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked with various populations, but most of my experience has been with school aged children and adolescents working through trauma, anxiety, grief, relationships, executive function deficits, adhd, and problem solving. I would love to see more adolescents and adults.

I have over 15 years of experience as a therapist after receiving a Master's Degree at the University of Missouri. In 2011, I went through extensive training to become EMDR certified. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as addiction counseling. In March of 2025 I became certified in grief counseling.

I am passionate about guiding my clients toward their goals with warmth and non-judgement. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual and strive to strike a balance between helping someone understand the "why" and the "how" throughout therapy. Asking why did I come to be here; what have I been doing that isn't working anymore and how can I go about change? Pain, whether relational or within work-life can be an invitation to make the changes necessary to grow. I believe that growth toward a successful and healthy future is possible with deeper understanding of one's past and taking steps toward change.

I have interests and experience in serving adult clients who have experienced a trauma in the past, relational loss, anxiety/depression, abuse, career challenges and addiction. My training in EMDR and Internal Family Systems have helped me as I come alongside those who have experienced various types of trauma. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which offers practical tools for change.

If you are looking for a warm therapist who will gently challenge you to take a look at your situation through fresh eyes, I can help. Everyone experiences pain in life. Sometimes all we need is for someone to walk alongside us for a season.

I have nearly 20 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate life's challenges. My background includes working as an elementary school counselor, pediatric mental health therapist, adjunct professor, and private practice therapist. I hold a Master's in Counseling from the University of Missouri–Kansas City and am certified in Play Therapy. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to grow.
