Marriage and Family Counseling

Are you in a relationship that seems to lack that loving connection it once had and you just can’t get back on track? Sometimes it takes an objective observer to help guide change and I hope to empower you to take the positive steps in your relationship that you have been wishing for over time. Our work will consist of identifying your unique relational needs, defining how to truly be fulfilled, uncovering the emotions that drive your behaviors and learning to communicate with one another so you feel understood. With a greater understanding of yourself and/or your loved ones, there can be thriving connections that foster a greater source of meaning in your life.

The counseling relationship is a collaborative one, where we go on a restorative journey together. The goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, supportive and compassionate therapeutic environment to foster healing and growth. Let’s get started today!

Connective Counseling offers marriage counseling, premarital counseling, couples counseling, family counseling, and individual counseling services in-person in Lake Saint Louis, MO and virtually across multiple states.

Call today for a free phone consultation (636) 699-7738.

Your Therapist

Hello there! I am Shera Wiscons, the owner of Connective Counseling. Working with relationships is my passion. I had a dream one day that I could help people feel more love in their life and that is exactly what I am doing today. Turns out that love = deep connection and there are ways to remove that loneliness to feel deeply connected again.

I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Lindenwood in St. Charles (St. Louis), Missouri and earned a Master of Arts degree at Texas State University in Professional Counseling. My education has prepared me for clinical work with couples, families, groups and individuals.

My counseling practice is informed by a foundation of Emotionally Focused Therapy. Additionally, I am a certified Prepare-Enrich facilitator and strongly believe in this therapeutic tool as a means to explore the many facets of relationships and to provide concrete direction for growth. This is one of the most widely researched assessment tools and has been considered the #1 Premarital and Marriage assessment for 35 years. It is useful for therapy because it looks at specific important factors in a relationship such as: relationship roles, spiritual beliefs, family and friends, sexual expectations, financial management, communication, conflict resolution, etc. pinpointing the couples strength and growth areas.

My experience has provided me opportunities to work within different settings and broaden my clinical knowledge. I have worked at a children’s center, drug and alcohol treatment centers, correctional facility, catholic diocese counseling center, corporate group events, couples workshops, and now private practice.

At Connective Counseling, I currently offer counseling services for couples, families and individuals in-person in Lake Saint Louis, MO and virtually across multiple states.
