Rhonda Palmer

Welcome. I’m Rhonda Palmer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, human being, and a big believer that healing happens best in a space that feels safe, real, and judgment free. I’m licensed in Missouri, Texas, and Arizona, and I have over 17 years of experience in the field. I often help people navigate anxiety, relationship patterns, self esteem, neurodivergent experiences (including autism and ADHD), and more. I’m also a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional and Autism Spectrum Clinical Specialist. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself to be accepted, this is your space to drop the mask. I don’t believe in “fixing” who you are. I believe in helping you understand yourself, heal old wounds, and build a life that actually fits you. I work best with people who are ready to be real, even if “real” means messy, unsure, or figuring it out one step at a time. You don’t need to impress me or get everything “right.” However, you do need to show up with honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to grow, because that’s how real change happens. During your sessions, we’ll work together in a way that feels collaborative, respectful, and grounded. I’ll bring compassion and care, but I’ll also hold healthy boundaries so our space stays safe and balanced. Therapy is a space where respect for both your journey, and my role as your guide is essential. I don’t work well with people looking to control others, avoid responsibility, or seek validation without reflection. During our sessions, I’ll utilize therapeutic modalities such as CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution Focused Therapy, and I’m also training in Brainspotting, which is a powerful approach for when words alone can’t reach the heart of things. Mostly, I bring empathy, humor, and the belief that you already have wisdom inside you, I’m just here to help you uncover it. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” — Albert Einstein “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” — Nelson Mandela If you’re ready for this kind of work, I welcome you.
