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!read more

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.read more

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!!!read more

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.read more

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!read more

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!!!read more

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.read more

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.

The team is a solid group of practitioners who bring unique combinations of therapy art and science to this practice.
