About Ian Guthrie

I am a professional counselor licensed in the state of Missouri, with about seven years of experience, and over a decade and a half of experience working with addiction and mental health. I have worked with a range of clients, from children to elderly, who have come to me for a variety of issues, including anxiety and stress, depression, relationship issues, addiction, and lack of motivation.

There are times in our lives when we need a new vision and someone to help us create strategies to overcome old challenges and take life to the next level. Seeking this change can be a daunting task, but I am here to help support you in your success. My counseling style is rather eclectic, based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with strong influences from Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused techniques, and existential psychotherapy.

I look forward to working with you!

“Awesome therapist!”

“Ian has been tremendously helpful and is a great therapist to work with. I highly recommend him.”

“Ian Guthrie has helped me so much!”

“He is very calm, well spoken and give great feedback on my situations.”

“I have been through a few therapist through the years and it’s been 2 years since I was last in this app. I asked to have Ian back again because I really felt Iike I made a lot of progress with him before and his work helped me navigate the last 2 years. I’m back now just to better my communicating skills and keep reinforcing what I’ve learned and worked on.”

“Ian has been a delight to talk to. He listens and responds in a great way and I have found his sessions to be very helpful.”

“He identified my symptoms and gave me helpful suggestions. I am glad I sought for help.”

“As I was told with others, therapy can go extremely well if paired with the right person. I feel Ian is extremely understanding, proffesional and I'm looking forward to our meetings and conversing everytime! I do not think I could get a better therapist for my situation, to be truly honest.”

“Ian is great! First therapist for me and I have been throughly impressed by Ian and his approach.”

“Ian has helped me through some dark times. I am still struggling with communication with other people, but our conversations really do calm me and give me tools for the future.”

“Ian is THE best. He listens really well and is passionate about helping you be your best self.”

“Ian is thoughtful and analytical. Highly recommend”

“I was lucky to have matched up with him first, he's been such a help in my emotional growth and my processing of trauma. He's a truly supportive person and you can tell he cares deeply every session. He is reliable and fun and very easy to talk to. Which is a great trait to have as a therapist.”

“Ian has been a great influence and has been open and honest with me. Holds me accountable and makes sure that i am doing well. Glad that we connected and makes counseling easy and worthwhile.”

“Ian is great. I've been working with him for months and he has helped me setting up boundaries with people. Normally I would just let people walk over me and get depressed about it. I am able to voice my needs now and understand my limitations.”
