Richelle Stillwell

Most people who find their way to Richelle Stillwell arrive carrying something heavy — a trauma that never fully healed, a family that keeps fracturing along the same fault lines, a body navigating chronic illness while the mind struggles to keep pace. A Licensed Professional Counselor based in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Richelle has spent more than two decades meeting people at exactly those points of strain, first as an occupational therapist learning that recovery is never purely physical, and then as a counselor who builds the kind of relationship where real change becomes possible.

She works with children, teenagers, women, and families across a wide range of concerns — abuse and neglect, parenting challenges, career transitions, chronic pain, and the anxiety that follows people from their phones into bed and back again by morning. Her specialization in trauma and crisis intervention reflects a conviction she formed early: that beneath even the most devastating histories, there is genuine resilience waiting for the right conditions to emerge.

Richelle’s approach centers on the whole person — emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual. She believes that when someone is met with an open mind, given practical tools, and supported by someone who genuinely believes in their capacity to grow, substantial change is not just possible — it becomes likely.
