About Colby (CJ) Green

I am an individual and family counselor licensed in the state of Missouri. I have over 15 years of experience as a clinical therapist in both inpatient and outpatient settings along with treating both adolescents and adults. Over the years I have worked with individuals, both adolescents and adults, with a wide variety of struggles including depression, anxiety, behavior modification, relationship issues, and anger management just to name a few.

My counseling style is welcoming and adaptive. I strive to treat individuals with respect, compassion, and a holistic approach without judgment or bias. I may not always tell you what you want to hear, but will always remain committed to telling you what you need to hear. I will always work to have our communication and treatment expectations adapt to you as an individual and your specific needs.

It is never the easiest thing to take the first step towards change and humbling ourselves. With that in mind, I am here to help be a guide, coach, teacher, cheerleader, and a library of tools to help you tackle whatever life may throw at you.

I look forward to working with you.

“Colby has been very helpful in me achieving my goals and I’m looking forward to continue working with him going forward”

“If you’re looking for a therapist who genuinely cares, listens without judgment, and helps you navigate even the darkest moments, I can’t recommend him enough. He helped me through one of the most difficult periods of my life when I felt overwhelmed and struggled to see a way forward. His patience, compassion, and thoughtful guidance gave me hope and equipped me with practical tools that made a real difference. Looking back, I truly believe his support helped me get through a chapter of my life that I don’t know how I would have faced alone. He creates a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and encouraged to keep moving forward. I’m incredibly grateful for the impact he’s had on my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who’s considering taking that first step toward healing.”
