Would you like to learn how to surf through life's challenges rather than get pummeled by them? I can teach you as a Positive Intelligence coach, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). For over 30 years, in Missouri and Illinois I've helped people of all ages struggling with emotional regulation, the management of symptoms of depression or anxiety, stress, life transitions, anger management, parenting, and burnout to become the best versions of themselves. Together, we would focus on what is helpful and let go of judging what is right or wrong.

Congratulations on beginning this journey, you're exactly where you need to be. I'm Ada Petty, LPC, dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I hold a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Webster University and a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in supporting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment related challenges.
I work with individuals aged 15 and older who are facing anxiety, depression, low-self-esteem, and many other difficulties. The individuals I see are experiencing these challenges as a result of the negative impacts of current or past relationships, or situations that cause repeated exposure to other people's trauma.

H, I'm Dr. Michelle Echols and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's and Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and more than a decade of experience helping people untangle some of life's most complicated moments — relationship struggles, family tension, substance use, and the rollercoaster that comes with being a teenager.
My sweet spots are teens, couples, and families. I genuinely love this work, and I especially love watching people who felt stuck start to move again.
As a therapist, I have a deep passion for supporting others through their journey towards general wellbeing. I place strong emphasis on total holistic wellness as well as creating a safe, inclusive and nonjudgemental space as we work together to help you overcome roadblocks and achieve your goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Saint Peters, MO
Searching for therapists in Saint Peters starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want care for. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, or support after major changes at home or work. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed therapy, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their style of care.
In a smaller city like Saint Peters, the local pool of therapists may be more focused than in nearby larger markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Missouri. Some people prefer an office visit, while others choose virtual care for evening availability, Saturday appointments, or less travel time. Before booking, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers a schedule that fits your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation so you can get a clearer sense of fit.
Therapy in Saint Peters can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, review detailed bios, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Saint Peters, compare availability and specialties, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
