Ellerie Saucer, M.A., LPC
Therapist
Hi, I’m Ellerie Saucer, a licensed therapist in Missouri. My education includes B.S. degrees in Child Learning and Development and Psychology, and a M.A. in Counseling. My path to counseling came out of a true desire to help people, but this journey has taught me the most about myself and the complexity of my own story. Along the way, I’ve become deeply acquainted with grief, confusion, and hope, and have learned to embrace the tension between them all. I would love to walk with you on your own journey toward embracing the nuances of your story. I believe that healing happens best in the context of safe and genuine relationships, and as such, you can expect to be treated with kindness and respect in my office. My approach is attachment-focused and trauma-informed, helping clients better understand how past experiences and relationships may shape the way they experience themselves, others, and the world around them.
