IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Starting January, 2025, RMHS LLC offers a limited number of short appointment slots each week. I save these for “wait-listed” folk and those who have just been released from inpatient units.

Unlike my regular appointments, the time for these appointments is not flexible. Currently the appointments available are 12:15 am Wednesdays and Fridays, and 12:45 am Wednesdays and Fridays.

You can make up to six of these appointments (1 per week). By then you can move to my regular, more flexible schedule if room opens ups. If room doesn’t open up, you can “re-up” these appointments if I continue to have room on my short appointments list. These spots ensure that people in urgent need of mental health care can get some quickly when possible.

Personal Statement (as used in my Psychology Today Listing):

“Jennifer (Jenni) Liles LCSW owns Responsive Mental Health Services LLC (RMHS LLC). I believe that all of us can live fulfilling lives that contain moments of joy in-between and around the difficult times. Therapy allows us to experience ourselves as valuable human beings with something to offer. I have extensive experiencing helping people through trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety, and out the other side. I work from a queer-friendly, disability aware, and neurodivergent perspective with people aged 13 and up.

With your needs in mind, I provide mental health therapy from a human rights perspective. Whether people think of you as ‘deliciously different’ or you’re ‘delightfully normal’, let’s see what we can do together to help you build a life you love. I provide therapy through telehealth only. You’ll need a data or internet-connected phone, tablet, or computer.

I welcome LGBTQ+ people and the polyamorous and kink communities. If you are someone whose trauma or serious and persistent mental illness has caused you to “fail” (no such thing) therapy, I’m willing to give you a chance. Give me a call if you are in a rural area of Missouri and can’t find local support. “

Who I am:

Many people want to know enough about their therapist’s views on the world to feel safe. With this in mind, I describe myself as:

• White anti-racist actively working on deconstructing supremacy (and sometimes failing).
• Bi- or pan-sexual, gender non-conforming woman.
• Parent of adult children.
• Generation X (Elder variety).
• non-secular religious perspective, knowledgeable about many faiths.
• Leftist, progressive or liberal, depending who you ask. NOT an accelerationist.
• Living with chronic pain, neurodiversity, significant history of trauma, and mood disorder.
• Kink and poly friendly, sex positive.
• Kind in the sense that I’m gentle when I tell you the hard things (and I sound the bullshit button when needed).

Therapy at RMHS LLC Looks Like…

I offer individual therapy (and occasionally brief family therapy with existing therapy participants.) I do not offer couples therapy.

Years ago, before I owned RMHS LLC, a therapy participant told me “I don’t consider it a real session until I’ve laughed, cried, and wanted to throw things at you.” I try to make therapy fun when possible, kind always, and to give you lots of choices along the way.

With your needs in mind, I use an eclectic approach that incorporates liberation-based therapy and elements of DBT, mindfulness, inner child work, trauma informed care, and motivational interviewing among others. I will work with you to improve your experience of your life while acknowledging and helping you overcome systems that are bringing you down.

A Note on the World We Live In:
