Reviewers consistently report profound healing, especially through EMDR work with named therapists like Kim and Melanie Peebles, who help with trauma and long-standing emotional wounds. The practice combines licensed counseling with complementary services-yoga, sound baths, massage, art therapy-in a warm, intentional space downtown, though one scheduling mishap and one critique of a therapist's listening balance suggest occasional gaps in execution.

Sacred Stories Counseling is an LPC-led practice in Midtown-Downtown Columbia offering anxiety, depression, trauma, and abuse counseling using evidence-based approaches. Review evidence is limited.
Matthew Headden works with clients on diet, fitness, and mindset together, treating weight loss and health as emotional and spiritual work as much as physical. Every reviewer saw real change in months, and they note he adapts workouts mid-session if something hurts, stays available after coaching ends, and balances encouragement with accountability without shame.

The reviewer reported the provider was dismissive after the crisis.
