Starlett Grey, LCSW — Therapist in Missouri

Hi there, I'm Starlett!

I've always been fascinated by the resilience of the human spirit. If you're working through a challenge or setback, we'll talk through what happened without judgment and identify what could help you keep going. I help clients managing anxiety and life transitions develop tools to build their self-esteem.

My focus

I work with children, families, and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and personal growth. I've provided individual, family, and group therapy across diverse settings and have experience supporting veterans and families.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness. Your goals and progress are my primary focus.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life's hardest challenges. Working with survivors of trauma showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery. I'm continually driven by the belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. I'm here to provide you with the support and tools you need.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
