Denise Mason

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Missouri with over 7 years of experience helping adults and youth with a variety of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, and difficulty adjusting to the variety of challenges life can present. I utilize various therapeutic approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Enhancement, Insight-Oriented Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution Focused Therapy. I’m passionate about helping others feel heard and understood while providing the tools and skills necessary for self-empowerment toward their healing journey. I meet clients where they are to collaborate with them and help them gain self-awareness to make lasting changes and better manage life’s stressors. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist with experience helping clients faced with LGBTQ+ related issues, general relationship difficulties, trauma, work-related challenges, educational and disability-related issues as well as important life transitions. I believe in treating everyone with respect, kindness, sensitivity, and compassion and will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to take the first steps toward living a more authentic and fulfilling life. It would be my honor to support & empower you in that journey.
On a more personal note, I’m on a continual journey of self-discovery and learning new strategies each day to promote my wellness, fulfillment, and personal happiness. I approach life from a growth mindset and with the understanding we can all learn, pivot, and make adjustments to improve our own lives. Learning never stops. I won’t pretend to know all of the answers, but I commit to helping you work toward finding yours.
