Tricia Beach, MA, LPC  

APPROVED SUPERVISOR IN MISSOURI

Practice Owner and Clinical Director

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and hold licenses in Missouri and Texas. I enjoy working with adults of all ages and am honored to hold space for others recovering from depression, anxiety, addiction, and mood dysregulation. I have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Trauma Informed Therapies (such as EMDR, IFS, inner child healing) as well as Mindfulness and Meditation. I also enjoy supporting parents and family members of persons who struggle with mental health challenges. I use an integrated approach so that I meet you where you are and focus on those areas of healing that you want to focus on!

Family dysfunction impacted my development, and I did not learn effective ways to cope. I am grateful that I sought help and have now been in recovery 36 years. I believe that because of my own challenges, I have seen how addiction can negatively impact families and our communities and I am invested in helping others heal from the impact addiction has had on their lives.

 Merriam-Webster defines sacred as “entitled to reverence and respect”. In our work together, I will be present with you and offer respect, kindness, compassion. and curiosity so that I can encourage you on your journey. By sharing practices of forgiveness, self-compassion, and self awareness I help others grow deeper in their awareness so that they can live their life as the spiritual beings they are created to be. I will learn, laugh, and cry with you as you explore how you want to show up in your life.

In my free time I enjoy reading, baking, hanging out with my dogs and cat, spending time with friends and family, and connecting to my spiritual nature by spending time in nature. I’m grateful to those who have guided and supported me on my spiritual journey and look forward to “paying it forward” by being a part of your  journey!  Reach out today to learn more about how I can help you!

Amanda Evans, MS, PLPC 

Supervised by Tricia Beach, LPC

I graduated with a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Avila University. I am passionate about helping people struggling with symptoms of OCD, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, helping others manage life stressors, navigate relationship challenges, and heal from childhood trauma is rewarding! I strive to create a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable and open to sharing their life experiences and struggles.

I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as trauma-focused modalities like Internal Family Systems. My style is direct, open, and curious. I like to be real and honest with my clients while also welcoming humor and light-heartedness into our sessions.

I became a therapist because as a teenager, I needed an understanding and empathetic adult to listen to me. Now as a counselor, I can be that person for others, both teens and adults.. I have had OCD and anxiety my entire life, so I know how hard it can be to open up and be vulnerable with someone; I hope to be the person who you can trust with your struggles.

I’m someone who likes to keep it real while appreciating the lighter side of life through my sense of humor. When not in session or classes, I enjoy baking, reading, playing video games, listening to music, and taking care of my two fluffy dogs!

In addition to working with adolescents, I enjoy meeting with couples and families. Please reach out today to learn more about how I can help you!

I offer a safe space to explore the uncomfortable parts of life. Therapy can be challenging, but it’s in the discomfort that growth and healing begin.

I offer a warm, nonjudgmental presence and a belief in the power of human resilience.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings such as residential treatment centers and outpatient units. I utilize a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach. I have specialized areas of focus that include LGBTQ+ affirming care, substance use recovery, severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI), and play therapy. However, my counseling approach serves all demographics. I am particularly skilled in creating safe, supportive spaces for individuals navigating identity, mental health challenges, and life transitions. With a warm, nonjudgmental presence and a belief in the power of human resilience, I am committed to walking alongside clients in their healing journeys and helping them achieve their personal goals.
