Stress, Your Body, and How Therapy Can Help
Stress is a normal part of being human. Our bodies are built to handle short bursts of challenges: a tough conversation, a deadline, a moment of overwhelm. But when stress stops being temporary and becomes the background noise of daily life, the body shifts into a...Book Reflection: “Wintering” by Katherine May – Learning to Rest, Retreat, and Listen to Your Body
As the days get shorter and the air cools, I’ve found myself reaching again for Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May. It’s one of those books that feels like a deep breath, gentle, steady, and full of permission to slow down....

Ashley Rickert is amazing! She makes you feel comfortable and heard. You can tell she legitimately cares and wants to help any way she can. She's so easy to talk to, and does a great job at understanding you on multiple levels. Not only a great therapist, but also an amazing person!

I worked with Katie Turek at another agency and can say without a doubt she is one of the most compassionate and competent Therapist I know. Katie goes above and beyond for her clients and understands the hesitation and fear that some clients have when starting counseling services. She makes clients feel comfortable and meets them where they are.

I went to Greenway and saw Kristen for some P TSD that I had had for many many years. Had tried many types of therapy all different sorts of things . I began to think that it would never go away. But continue to look for anything that would help. Read about EMDR therapy I wanted to try it. So Kristen helped me with that and I have had no more episodes since. It has been years although I am not sure how many. I highly recommend Greenway and Kristen.

I worked with Ashley Rickert at a previous agency and always appreciated her kind and compassionate nature. She is a dedicated clinician who will go to bat for you! I've seen her go the extra mile to locate valuable resources to help her clients navigate difficult situations and reach their goals. I absolutely recommend Ashley!

Very happy with the counseling/therapy my fiance and I received in advance of our wedding. Listened to our needs/complaints and provided real, practical strategies to work through our challenges and communicate effectively.

No secret, I am one of the therapists currently active with Greenway Therapy; that being stated, I am going to speak to why I chose to join the team!
I have known Ashley Rickert for multiple years as she was one of my classmates in grad school. Having known Ashley for as long as I have, I've had the pleasure of seeing her therapy skills in a variety of scenarios (through practicum and internship, as well as her post graduate work).
She is immensely knowledgeable and professional. Lately, she has been described as "quiet, but mighty!" Most of all, she is respectful of our clients and genuinely cares for them.
Honored to share the space with her!

I have known Rachel Hines for years and have so many positive attributes to share about her as an individual and a professional in the industry. Rachel is extremely knowledgeable and has a way of being very easy to open up to and trust. She truly cares about people and it shows in her ability to listen. I would recommend Rachel to anyone seeking therapy.

I wanted to share my thoughts about therapist Deborah Tannenbaum. I have known and worked with Deborah for many years. She is a skilled mental health professional who not only knows a variety of different therapeutic approaches and techniques but she has the ability to relate to clients, assist in reducing mental health symptoms and offers creative solutions. What is especially unique about Deb is her knowledge of literature and sense of humor and how she can apply it to clinical situations resulting in helping her clients. She is Awesome!!!

Desiree is an amazing human and helped. She goes above and beyond to the call of duty and will not rest until she has helped. Desiree will work with you with compassion and care to make you the best version possible of yourself. She works with you not for you, which is really the only way to grow. She is just amazing and insightful!!!!

Desiree Townsend is amazing and so down to earth. She has helped me in many areas of my life from addiction to a recent divorce. I love her no nonsense, straight forward, but still very compassionate approach. She has a plethora of resources and was an all around light in my life through some dark times. Highly recommended Dez she specializes in so many areas and is a wealth of knowledge.

Ashley is a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist who believes the client is the expert. She sees a variety of age ranges (children, adolescent, and adults) and tailors her approach to each client. Ashley uses an eclectic approach when working with individuals and often incorporates CBT and person-centered theory. Ashley will be a wonderful addition to the Greenway Therapy team!

To say I love this place would be an incredible understatement. My 8 yr old daughter sees Ricky, and he is by far the BEST we have been with. Life changing!! I’ve seen incredible improvements since we began going, and I have peace of mind, which for a mother, is absolutely priceless. I have recommended Ricky to countless people and their experiences have been the same. He not only works with my daughter, but he communicates with me about what’s going on and gives me guidance in between visits. He is so so wonderful, I highly recommend!!!

GreenwayTherapy is amazing! Not only do they have a fabulous staff of clinicians able to work with a wide range of client concerns, the owners are always looking to further the education and clinical knowledge of the staff. I should also mention that they are very LGBT friendly and affirming!

Working under the leadership of Kristen and James has been amazing. Every clinician specializes in certain things from anxiety/depression to couples/marriage counseling to LGBT, amongst others. Each clinician truly cares about their clients and wants them to achieve their goals. All the clinicians are GREAT!
No doubt this is the BEST place to get the BEST counseling service in ALL of St. Louis area.

I’ve had the privilege to work with one of the therapists at a previous job. Ricky Cooper is an amazing therapist. He is easy going and a great listener. He is always dependable and truly cares about the people he works with. He is intelligent and knowledgeable and overall an excellent clinician.

Having conducted therapy sessions in a wide variety of settings and agencies I can say with confidence that working under Kristen's leadership at GreenwayTherapy is by far the best workplace experience that I have ever known. I believe that it is the combination of Kristen's wisdom, business savvy, and heart that makes GreenwayTherapy both a remarkable and inspirational place to practice our craft. The team is a solid group of practitioners who bring unique combinations of therapy art and science to this practice. Among the great features of this work culture is the kindness that is always present in this therapeutic atmosphere.
