"Welcome!" to our Newest Counselor

Around here, it seems that the theme of 2015, could be "change." As much as we talk with others about their experience of change and the bravery required to walk into the process of change while remaining open and vulnerable, you'd think we'd know how to do it better! Thankfully much of the change we're experiencing is positive, and welcoming our newest counselor, Addie Shrimpton, is a positive change we are fully enjoying. Addie is joining us as an intern and offers her services for much reduced rates. She is in the Masters in Counseling program at Covenant Seminary and has been doing great work at Morgan Counseling Services. Please feel free to refer to her or call to find out more.

A little about Addie...

"I was born and raised in Louisville, KY. I never thought I would call somewhere else home, but my husband and I have grown to love St. Louis. We have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Jack that we both adore. Jack doesn’t know a stranger and has helped us to connect with new people wherever we go. I believe we were made to connect and be in relationship with one another. Relationships where we can receive love and give love. Relationships in which we can be known and in turn know others. Unfortunately, not all relationships are this way. Some can be painful and broken. My hope is to be a safe and secure relationship for clients. I desire to walk alongside my client as we delight in the beauty and mourn the brokenness in one’s story. I long to be a source of encouragement and provide hope to every person I get the privilege of sitting with."
