Taryne Mingo
Greetings! My name is Dr. Taryne Mingo, and I am excited to work with you on your next steps towards wellness. I recognize that counseling is an intensely personal decision and that you may have questions about my background and approach, as well as questions pertaining to other more practical implications of our work together. I received my doctorate from The University of Georgia in 2015. In 2017, I decided to pursue counseling licensure in the State of Missouri. My approach to counseling is decidedly grounded in respect for the person and her/his capacities and potential. I recognize that external resources are sometimes necessary and will consult or refer as needed to maximize benefit for the client(s). I have received additional training in work with expressive arts in therapy and mindfulness practice in counseling, so these resources will be available in our work as they are facilitative of your process. Goals for the counseling relationship can be long-term goals such as improving the quality of your life, learning to live with mindfulness and self-actualization or exploring life transitions. Others may be more immediate goals such as decreasing anxiety and depression symptoms, and/or developing healthy relationships. Whatever the goals for counseling, they will be set by the clients according to what they want to work on in counseling.
