Vesta Towels

Vesta Towels meets people where they are when life feels challenging, offering practical guidance to restore balance and hope. She helps clients use difficult experiences as part of a new recipe for reclaiming peace and joy, teaching skills and strategies to move beyond feeling stuck.

Vesta earned a Master of Arts in School and Professional Counseling from Lindenwood University in 2013, graduating at the top of her class and receiving the Student of the Year award. She is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri (MO LPC 2017043246) and brings seven years of direct therapy experience to her practice.

In addition to clinical counseling, Vesta has more than 15 years of experience working with the Department of Mental Health - Division of Developmental Disabilities as a Case Manager I/II/III and Habilitation Specialist II. That background gave her extensive experience supporting adults, children, and families affected by developmental and intellectual disabilities such as autism and Down syndrome, as well as individuals navigating co-occurring mental health conditions.

Vesta has worked with people facing substance misuse, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, trauma, and a range of life stressors. She frames her care through multiple evidence-informed approaches, primarily cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed methods, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused brief therapy, adapting her approach to each person’s unique needs and personality.

Using cognitive behavioral techniques, Vesta helps clients reframe everyday stressors and change habitual responses. She also employs solution-focused strategies to identify unhelpful cycles quickly and to develop realistic, short-term steps toward improvement, while reserving more in-depth trauma-focused work when indicated. Her goal is to empower people with the insight and tools needed to navigate transitions, manage symptoms, and rebuild a life aligned with their values.
