I’m Liz, your go-to expert in mental health with a decade of diverse experience. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and meet with people at my Saint Louis metro office in South County or throughout the state virtually.

Liz Wooten

MA | LPC | NCC

For over a decade, I’ve been there for people from childhood to adulthood, helping them with different needs. My work includes helping those with Autism, supporting families, guiding people in their jobs, and stepping in during emergencies. I work with both kids and adults to tackle challenges related to ADHD, Autism, eating disorders, and everyday worries like anxiety and depression.

Attachment Theory

Emotion Foused

Geek Therapy

Geek therapy uses all things nerdy to bring interests from pop culture into therapy

I really enjoy bringing the things we like into sessions to help understand mental health (like I have a whole book on how Harry Potter can be therapeutic). I actually enjoy it so much I’m working on a certification on how to bring all things geeky into counseling. Does your child need counseling? Let’s team together today to get them the help they deserve.

Adventure Awaits

I’m basically a huge mental health nerd who loves to share the random knowledge I have with others, in doing so I strive to be a collaborative counselor who helps you set the goals you want and helps you find the tools for your own success.

Counselors have to have a lot of training before we can help people and we gotta tell people what that is; but we do it with all these letters no one knows until they google.

Here’s a guide.

MA – I have my graduate degree in counseling; it’s a Master of Arts

LPC- Means I’ve met all the requirements to be a Licensed Professional Counselor by the state of Missouri.

NCC – I’m a Nationally Certified Counselor by the The National Board for Certified Counselors. (Basically I took more classes in grad school and have some additional training.)

For me, I love helping the people I work with grow in whatever ways they need. People come to counseling for a lot of different reasons. Sometimes it’s because they know something is off and want help feeling different. Sometimes people recognize they just feel better when they are able to have someone help them learn more about themselves.

Well, that’s easy, I have 6 dogs. Not a bunch of little dogs like I’m sure you are imagining. The big kind. Just big fluffy doggos. You could say that too much of one thing is a bad thing, but guess who’s never cold at night?

Like is kind of an understatement. I honestly find them therapeutic, and you would be surprised at how applicable they are to mental health. It’s honestly what got me into “nerd” culture and where I was introduced to Geek Therapy.
