Fredrick Devaraj, LCSW — Therapist in Missouri

Hi there, I'm Fredrick!

Welcome to this meaningful journey of rediscovering yourself. We all have stories — and yours is uniquely valuable. I am privileged to accompany you as you seek meaning, peace, and the freedom to flourish and feel fully alive.

My focus

I work with young adults, families, older people, and working professionals to handle challenges that prevent their optimum functioning and happiness. If you are struggling with substance abuse, trauma, Obsessive behavior, marital conflicts, or religious scrupulosity, you have come to the right place.

My approach

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic approaches to help you gain deeper insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

My communication style

I value open communication. I take a collaborative approach that honors your experiences and strengths. In a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space, you’ll find safety, acceptance, and encouragement.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into mental health began with the saying, “God’s glory is man fully alive.” With over 20 years of experience, I’ve supported people through addiction, trauma, and conflict, believing that warm, nonjudgmental therapy helps each person heal and live life in full abundance.

My goals for you

I believe you are the expert of your own life, and we will work together to create a plan that is acceptable to you and achievable by you. We will make changes as we proceed on the journey.

Our first session

In our first session, we will understand what brings you to therapy and what your expectations are. We will create an atmosphere of confidence, comfort, warmth, and trust. We will work together to reduce the stress of seeking therapy.
