Hello! I am accepting clients for life transition, pre-marriage counseling, marriage counseling, and grief counseling (clients ages 8+ for grief counseling) at Kaleo Counseling in Cottleville. I have a select few Saturday morning appointments on the first and third Saturday of each month available for couples (90 minutes, $135), and some daytime/early early evening sessions for 60 minutes at $90 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I am currently private pay only. If you know people who could benefit from my services, please pass along my information. If price is a concern, I do offer some sliding scale slots. Email/text is best for scheduling a phone call consultation. Thank you!

Spring brings new buds, new plans, new opportunities to be outdoors, and new adventures. Some of us welcome the “newness” in life with open arms.
