About Safe Harbor Counseling
Meet the people, values, and lived experience behind compassionate online therapy across Missouri.
Why Safe Harbor Exists
A Practice Built for Respectful, Human Care
Safe Harbor began with a simple idea: therapy should be a place where people do not have to hide who they are or carry every burden alone.
Michael Mason, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, and Rebecca Mason co-founded the practice around that commitment. Safe Harbor has grown beyond a single-clinician story while retaining its original focus: thoughtful, human care without shame or pressure.
A Counseling Practice Where You Can Be Fully Human
Care Shaped Around the Person
Safe Harbor Counseling of Missouri provides individual online therapy for clients across Missouri. Our clinicians support people navigating emotional distress, identity concerns, trauma, caregiver stress, and life transitions.
We believe therapy should respect the whole person. That means listening closely, recognizing each client’s lived experience, and shaping care around individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all path.
Our clinicians bring different backgrounds, areas of focus, and ways of working. You can explore their profiles or contact Safe Harbor if you are unsure which therapist may be the better fit.
A Practice Built Around People—and Fit
Our Clinicians and Practice Team
- Safe Harbor’s clinical team includes Michael Mason, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, and Christina McKenzie Roy, LPC/LCDC-I. Each clinician brings a distinct perspective, focus, and way of working.
- Practice leadership and administration support Safe Harbor’s operations separately from clinical care. Review clinician profiles or contact Safe Harbor if you would like help thinking about fit.
The Values That Guide Our Work
Our work is guided by these five values:
Respect and Collaboration
We listen closely, honor lived experience, and work with clients instead of prescribing a single path for everyone.
Inclusion
LGBTQ+ identities and diverse backgrounds are welcomed and affirmed. Clients should not have to hide, mask, or justify who they are in therapy.
Thoughtful Clinical Care
Each clinician works within their training and professional scope, using approaches suited to the client’s needs, goals, and circumstances.
Clarity and Choice
We offer current, practical information about services, therapist fit, and next steps so clients can make decisions without pressure.
Human Connection
Professional care can still be warm and personal. We value honesty, respect, and a therapeutic relationship where questions are welcome.
