Shay Alderman, LMFT

Introduction: I am a licensed marital and family therapist and art therapist. Over the past nine years, I have worked in a variety of treatment settings and have particular sensitivity to and experience helping people with: - Mild to severe anxiety - Mild to severe depression - Stress management - Self-injury - Psychosis - Healing from loss or trauma - Helping teens and families manage the challenges of adolescence - Relationship and family problems - LGBTQQ issues - Understanding and communicating about gender and sexual orientation - Motivation problems Sometimes, people are reluctant to enter therapy because they hear about clients seeing clinicians for years and years with no real results. To me, that means that something isn't working. I will always work to help you achieve your goals as efficiently, comfortably, and safely as possible. Overall, your needs are what are most important. They will guide us in the plans we make together, which can include changing strategies, increasing or decreasing visits, taking a break from therapy, or referring you to another resource. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy in person in Cape Girardeau, Missouri and online via video chat to clients in California and Missouri.
