About Roian Baalman
Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings more than six years of clinical experience to her work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges. She holds licensure in both Missouri and Texas and is credentialed in substance use counseling as a Certified Reciprocal Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CRADC) - a designation that indicates specialized training in alcohol and drug treatment. Before moving into private practice, she trained and worked in Behavioral Health and Substance Use agencies, gaining experience with clinical mental illnesses, personality disorders, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT).
Prior to her counseling career, she spent a decade in the human services field supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities, and she draws on both professional training and personal life experience to inform her therapeutic perspective. Her practice addresses a broad set of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, career and motivation issues, self-esteem and imposter syndrome, emotional intelligence, childhood and sexual trauma, abandonment and rejection, and questions of safety and security.
Roian uses a tailored, collaborative approach, selecting methods that match each person’s needs and goals. She integrates a variety of evidence-informed approaches - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and trauma-focused techniques - to create a plan that fits the individual. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and practical steps toward a more fulfilling life can be identified.
Roian emphasizes partnership in the therapeutic process - clients and she work together to set goals even if those goals are not yet clear at the start. She recognizes that seeking help requires courage and she views her role as supportive throughout that journey. Office hours are flexible, generally between 9 am and 6 pm, with availability on Saturdays.
