Relational Therapy in St. Louis & Across Missouri
Rooted in Connection for Individuals, Couples, and Families
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.
I’m Kristen, a licensed therapist offering counseling in Webster Groves, MO and virtually throughout Missouri. Speak Now Counseling is my private practice, created to offer a relational and thoughtful space for reflection and growth. I’m drawn to working with clients who want to better understand themselves, their emotions, and the patterns shaping their lives.
Many of the people I work with have spent a long time holding things together quietly, competently, and often alone. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to edit yourself or find the perfect words. You can show up as you are, and we can begin to make sense of your story together.
Therapy That Goes Beneath the Surface
My work is grounded in a psychodynamic approach, which means I believe our present struggles often make sense when we understand where they came from.
Together, we explore patterns, relationships, and emotional themes that may have been forming long before you realized they had a name.
A Space to Slow Down, Be Heard, and Make Sense of Your Inner World
I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard. Therapy with me is relational, thoughtful, and paced with care.
There’s room here for complexity, contradiction, and growth. No rushing, no rewriting your story before you’re ready.

LOCATION
Online Virtual Telehealth Therapy in Missouri with offices located in Webster Groves, MO.
Online therapy makes getting the help and support you deserve easier than ever. Online therapy has been shown to work just as well as, if not better than, in-person therapy. (Yes, even for brand-new clients!)
My clients and I have come to love online therapy for its convenience, accessibility and comfort factor.

I believe in equitable care for everyone. I respect who you are, how you identify, and how you express yourself. My job is to make sure you feel safe seeking care and to come alongside you to understand your needs, listen to you, and support you.
