My name is Teerah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma work with adolescents, teens, and young adults. I have worked with clients of all ages and believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can finally stop filtering yourself. I’m very down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely believe nothing is “too much” to bring into session. Whether you are dealing with trauma, anxiety, relationship stress, or just feeling emotionally stuck, my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and a little less alone in it all.

Pam Thorp

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas City, MO


I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use challenges, emotional overwhelm, and difficult life transitions. Many of the clients I support feel exhausted from carrying stress, self-doubt, unhealthy coping patterns, or the emotional weight of trying to manage everything on their own.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. Together, we’ll work toward understanding what’s keeping you stuck, strengthening healthier coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change that supports your emotional wellbeing and everyday life.

Lynn Zima

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I work to provide you a safe, non-judgmental environment in which to work. Each of us are unique and complex. I see my job as helping you to develop tools and skills to deal with your complex life. I am able to help you in the areas of anxiety, depression, motivation, substance use concerns, self-esteem and confidence, grief/loss, and adapting to life changes, to name a few. My goal is to be approachable, accepting, and act as a guide through the process. Much of our power to be happy or unhappy depends on our ability to put our experiences in perspective and find our own path to heal.

We will focus on the strengths you have and how I can help you grow through changing self-defeating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will work together to identify your goals, what the barriers are to moving forward, and developing needed skills to navigate through or around barriers. We are all human and at times need the help from an objective party to get through our struggles and to grow stronger!

Amy Haas

Amy Haas

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


Hello, and welcome! I'm Amy Haas, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, families, and veterans navigate anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and behavioral concerns.

Throughout my career, I've worked with people from many different walks of life, from youth involved in the juvenile justice system to formally incarcerated adults rebuilding their lives, as well as children and families in schools, intensive in-home programs, and community mental health. Those experiences reinforced something I believe deeply: people are far more than the hardest thing they've been through or the labels they've been given.

I believe meaningful therapy starts with authenticity, trust, and genuine connection. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel understood, build on your strengths, and create lasting positive change.
