I believe healing begins in a supportive environment where individuals feel safe to express thoughts and emotions, gain insight, and make sense of their experiences. From this place of understanding, we work collaboratively to create a path toward growth, healing, and meaningful change. As part of this process, we establish thoughtful goals that may include work outside of sessions, allowing therapeutic progress to continue between appointments. Treatment begins with developing a comprehensive understanding of your history and current concerns. I am trained in multiple therapeutic modalities, and together we determine the approach that best supports your needs and goals. My work is compassionate, respectful, and goal‑oriented, with an emphasis on collaboration and empowerment. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, as well as those seeking deeper self‑discovery and personal growth. My goal is to support clients in moving toward lives that feel more fulfilling, meaningful, and aligned. Therapeutic Approaches Offered: Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) Attachment Therapy Brainspotting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Internal Family Systems (IFS) Motivational Interviewing Call today to begin our work together. https://www.hearttohearttherapy.org/meet-nancy daily 0.75 2026-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebef732df81da7a8548aa96/d4d9b8c6-0b6d-4492-aa7e-7117ae1f1757/b1e0652253365756.jpeg Meet Nancy - Nancy Albus, LPC, CEDS-C, My career path into behavioral health began with my own journey of self-discovery. In my thirties, I returned to school to earn my master’s degree while exploring a more meaningful career path. I was seeking work that offered purpose and depth, and I was also preparing for the shifts in identity that come with motherhood as children grow older. As a mother of two daughters, I was especially drawn to better understand eating disorders. What I discovered was a passion for supporting personal transformation and healing. I have now spent over 20 years working with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and the everyday challenges that can impact quality of life. I feel grateful to support individuals who are seeking growth, even when the process feels difficult. I have spent most of my life in St. Louis and raised my daughters here. I understand the unique pressures of balancing motherhood and work, navigating aging parents, and experiencing life transitions firsthand. I offer therapy for women across all stages of life, with a focus on major transitions such as empty nesting, body changes, and shifts in identity. I also support men navigating life transitions and personal growth, and work with couples seeking to strengthen and improve their relationships. I hope to bring a compassionate process of healing to you. https://www.hearttohearttherapy.org/meet-chelsea daily 0.75 2026-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebef732df81da7a8548aa96/afadfa05-bc78-451b-aae6-3a47eae32e75/0077_8318Ricefamily.jpg Meet Chelsea - Chelsea Rice, LCSW I am from St. Louis originally and my experience of growing up in the area gives me valuable insights into the educational and social climate of the local community. I attended Rossman Elementary School and John Burroughs. My educational and professional experiences led me to exciting life stages in North Carolina and Massachusetts. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communication at Wake Forest University and I received my master’s degree in clinical social work from Boston College. In 2015 after spending three years in Boston, I decided to return to my roots in St. Louis to be closer to family. I currently practice therapy part-time which allows me to spend invaluable time with my two young daughters. My husband and I adore our sweet girls and our two dogs, Stella and Cosmo. https://www.hearttohearttherapy.org/chelseas-services daily 0.75 2026-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebef732df81da7a8548aa96/0540e529-2269-442e-ab02-83e02be55443/0052_8123Ricefamily.jpg Chelsea's Services - Chelsea’s Clinical Approach My approach to therapy is rooted in attachment theory which emphasizes the importance of developing secure, safe attachments with others. I strive to create a warm, inviting and non-judgmental environment in therapy. I understand that building trust and gaining comfort with vulnerability takes time. The experience of gradually sharing your deepest thoughts and feelings with another person and receiving a consistent, emotionally attuned and caring response can in and of itself be healing. I utilize a combination of therapeutic modalities depending on the individual needs and interests of each client. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Schema Therapy and Internal Family Systems. I draw upon CBT and DBT to assist clients in developing adaptive coping strategies in order to promote anxiety management and emotion regulation. Most importantly, identifying the direction of therapy will be a collaborative process to ensure each client feels personally invested in their quest for self-discovery. I work with individuals suffering from grief and loss, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, infertility, life transitions, confidence issues and male identity development. I also welcome clients who are hoping to learn more about themselves through the process of therapy or simply need a source of support. In therapy, I strive to balance addressing symptoms and looking beyond the surface to help clients develop a compassionate understanding of how their past informs the present. By learning new adaptive coping strategies and gaining insight into the early development of current emotional wounds or maladaptive patterns, clients can feel empowered to create positive change. https://www.hearttohearttherapy.org/connect-with-us daily 0.75 2025-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebef732df81da7a8548aa96/1589820441664-7SAJFQ8A3VLDGF7QSJ4F/ProfessionalPhotowithDogs.jpeg Connect With Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebef732df81da7a8548aa96/1589833657338-U97J730RABQBYZLTFDN2/GroupPracticeShot5.jpeg Connect With Us - Contact Information Nancy Albus, NCC, CEDS, LPC Email: naoalbus@gmail.com Phone: (314) 764-5330 Chelsea Rice, LCSW Email: chelsea.albus.rice@gmail.com Phone: (314) 403-2339 Facebook Instagram Fill out the form below to send us your information!
