About Me
Dr. Blake Webster holds a PhD in clinical psychology with specialization in depression, anxiety, personality assessment, and family systems therapy. Dr. Webster has a background teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology. Prior to his work in private practice, Dr. Webster worked in both hospital and community settings. He also has a background as a family business executive coach and upon completion of his PhD, received specialized training with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at the VA in Hampton, VA.
Dr. Webster feels his work is anchored by the therapeutic alliance. He strives to build this alliance through safety, non-judgment, ethics and trust. Like Dr. Cole, interventions are tailored to the needs of each client after careful assessment of their strengths and goals.
Dr. Webster lives in Joplin, MO with his wife and three sons.
Specializing in Anxiety Treatment, Depression and Couples Therapy
Anxiety
Anxiety can present itself in many forms such as obsessions, compulsions, body problems, generalized fear, and/ or specific phobias. Therapy focused on alleviating anxiety can be highly relieving and life changing.
Depression
Depression can present as vague symptom of lethargy, fatigue, anger, or loss of vitality. I find it incredibly rewarding for people to explore the earliest suggestions of depression in their lives.
Growth & Wellbeing
Not all inquiries into therapy are clinical in nature. Often, people need a partnering therapist to explore life’s meaning and connect more deeply to personal values.
Couples Therapy
I specialize in couples therapy and have enjoyed holding safe space for couples for over ten years. Based largely on the influence of John and Julie Gottman, we will safely explore the critical dilemmas in your marriage and/or relationship.
Resiliency
I like to think about resiliency as the amount of emotional space one has to hold all the difficult things life will bring.
