Hi, I’m Carey—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over twenty years of experience across non-profit organizations, the legal system, and private practice. That range gave me something most therapists don’t have: the ability to see the systems and institutions that shape each individual experience.

As a trauma-focused therapist, I help individuals recover from overwhelming experiences and rediscover their capacity for peace and purpose. My approach integrates proven therapeutic methods, including EMDR, with warmth, respect, and real collaboration tailored to what each person actually needs.

My goal is to help people break free from survival mode and build resilience for navigating life’s many challenges and transitions. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and stress—particularly women managing an overwhelming mental load and the weight of their past traumas and lived experiences.

Working within a team of somatic practitioners allows me to bring a layer of support to the clinical work beyond the session.

Hi, I’m Haley—a fascia fanatic and bodyworker who believes the body’s complexity deserves exactly that level of attention.

My work is slow, focused, and deliberate by design. Trained in Swedish, deep tissue, Thai techniques, osteoarticular pumping and fascial normalization—I weave those techniques together based on what your body actually needs, not a predetermined formula.

Years of studying yoga, ELDOA and biomechanics inform how I think about the body structurally, bringing an anatomical precision to the work that goes well beyond the part that simply feels tight.

What you’ll feel in a session with me is precision. Curiosity. A real respect for what your body is holding and how long it’s been holding it. This isn’t about relief in the moment—it’s about creating something sustainable over time.

Working alongside a licensed mental health therapist and a team of somatic experts means the work we do on the table doesn’t have to stop there.

Hi, I’m Michelle—owner here at Bloom Ballwin. I have been showing up for this work for over twenty years with the same radical curiosity I brought on day one.

My sessions are built on a foundation of deep therapeutic technique—a variety of deep tissue approaches, Thai massage, clinical applications for injury rehabilitation, facial work, CranioSacral Therapy, and honestly, so many more tools than this bio has room for. CST deserves its own moment—because it changed everything for me. After decades in this work, it was the first thing that unlocked pain relief and nervous system care in ways I didn’t have words for. The work is subtle. The impact is not. And it has carried well beyond the table.

Breathwork runs through all of it. As a Certified Functional Breathwork Facilitator, breath isn’t an add-on for me—it’s the foundation.

What I’m building in a session isn’t a menu. It’s a custom, precise, deeply supported experience that meets your body exactly where it is—accounting for how it’s changed, what it’s carrying, and what it actually needs right now. Bodies are complex. Age, injury, stress, time—I see all of it and I work with it, not against it.

Here’s what I know after twenty years: the kind of recovery most people think they have to earn? It’s actually a biological requirement. I didn’t come here to give you a treat. I came to give you a tool—and a place to fully drop while we use it.
