Justin Grotheer

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individual adults. I support clients navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy can help you better understand yourself, strengthen self-trust, and the clinical belief that any person can change course in life at any time.

I draw from approaches such as EFT, IFS, ACT, and integrative experiential techniques, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore emotions, patterns, and strategies that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself and the relationships that matter most.

Jeni Allton

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


As a Missouri Ozarks native, nature and the outdoors have always played a huge part in my healing journey and mental health. Growing up, I was outside any chance I got; riding bikes, riding horses, climbing trees, bird watching, rock collecting, camping, hiking, floating, boating, spelunking, exploring creeks, and enjoying campfires. Nature immersion, movement in nature, outdoor recreation, and horsemanship remain part of my daily practice; and I incorporate these into my therapeutic work wherever possible.

Carissa Thompson

Carissa Thompson

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


You don’t have to have it all figured out to start therapy. On the outside, life may look “fine,” but internally you might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or pulled in different directions. Part of you wants change, another part feels exhausted, protective, hurt, or unsure where to begin. Therapy can help make sense of those inner conflicts instead of fighting against them.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist who believes healing happens through real human connection. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly because I show up authentically, without judgment. I create a space where you can be fully honest, feel understood, and finally exhale.
