Online therapy serving Missouri

For life’s most challenging chapters.

Infertility. Loss. A relationship that has left you questioning yourself. The parts of your story that still feel heavy. You do not have to sort through it all alone.

I’m Michelle De Villar, LPC, a St. Louis-based therapist offering online counseling across all Missouri. I support people navigating infertility and IVF, reproductive trauma and pregnancy loss, emotional abuse recovery, and trauma.

We can make room for the hard things, find what helps, and take the next step together. You can show up as yourself here.

At Empowered Counseling Services, therapy is about finding your footing, trusting yourself, and feeling more able to choose what comes next.
