About

15 years of experience as a counselor; I’ve worked over 25 yrs with children teens and families in a variety of settings. Such as coaching, teaching and co-leading innstudes and youth groups. i am glad to offer compassionate care for children, early teens and adults as we walk together through the story-paying attention to how you feel, what you believe and where you perceive the challenge is to finding restored peace. We can identify and qualify emotions, practice ways to decrease the intensity of reactive relational stress and ponder new skills to communicate anew with those you want to walk forward in life with and/or strengthened your resolve to walk away from habits. I use EFIT and other expressive therapies such as art and play tools, adventure therapy and am trained to include -for those requesting it- Faith-based encouragements -rooted in turning towards hope in God’s grace and finding gratefulness and purpose in the unique design of your personality and gifting. I’m trained in trauma informed care using tools such as EMDR and sand tray to decrease anxiety and replace trigger phrases as we come to uncover your back story in order to go forward in understanding your challenges while into redemptive hope! For a first appt with me or someone I supervise or share office space with at RiverBend Counseling Associates, Email us at office.kwallace@gmail.com. I am on 5 insurance panels and offer sliding scale for those without insurance but have income challenges. We have offices at 5D Schiber Court in Maryville Illinois and telehealth year round and in Ballwin, Mo again in the fall of 2026 -27.
