About Barbara Schuver

As a licensed therapist in Missouri, I bring over twenty-five years of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate a wide range of emotional experiences, from anxiety and depression to relationship dynamics and personal growth.

I specialize in working with diverse populations, offering a supportive approach that honors each person’s unique journey. My expertise spans multiple areas, including stress management, grief counseling, communication challenges, and supporting individuals through significant life transitions like midlife changes, young adult challenges, and family dynamics.

My therapeutic approach is deeply empathetic and collaborative. I’m committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, develop stronger self-understanding, and build meaningful strategies for personal healing and growth. Whether you’re struggling with social anxiety, seeking to improve relationships, or working through personal transformations, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with professional guidance and genuine care.
