Getting to know Dana Lafayette

Hello, my name is Dana LaFayette. I am a licensed counselor in the state of Missouri with extensive experience in mental health and addiction. I approach counseling from a trauma-aware perspective, listening carefully to assist clients on their journey of healing, coping with stressors, and reaching the goals they wish to achieve. My approach often combines several therapeutic methods to best benefit the client. The techniques I use most frequently include Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Skills, and Solution-Focused approaches. Based on my years of experience, I find these strategies to be the most satisfying and effective for clients. I work well with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and substance use challenges. I have a strong background working with women facing trauma, emotional distress, and self-esteem issues, as well as experience supporting men, adolescents, and children. I strive to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where conversations can occur openly for the client’s benefit. Clients often share positive feedback about feeling comfortable and engaged with my present and supportive communication style. My journey in mental healthcare began many years ago with a focus on working with children, and over time I have expanded my practice in many ways. I continue in this field because I believe deeply in the positive changes people can make to improve their quality of life. In the first session, I ask clients why they are seeking treatment and what goals they wish to achieve. Together, we collaboratively create goals and a treatment plan tailored to their needs.
