Guided Expression

Offering a purpose-driven, growth oriented, and spiritually-minded approach to therapy in the St. Louis, MO area.


About Me

Welcome, thank you for being here! I’m Peretz Shlosberg, founder and therapist of Guided Expression. I offer both counseling and coaching services in order to individualize your specific goals and needs. My unique approach to counseling and coaching combines an understanding of how to best utilize our own struggles while nurturing our innate abilities to find greater purpose in life.

In this modern age, many of us feel burdened by a busy mind and a heavy heart. Have you ever thought about a tree’s need for the dirt that surrounds it? Although just dirt to us, it is the substance that allows the tree to thrive. In a similar way, our own struggles as humans can be a key to our own growth upward and onward! However, a tree needs more than just the dirt– it also needs plenty of water and sunlight. What is your water and sunlight? We can explore together what enables you to beautifully thrive.

Therapy/Coaching Style

One area of my specialty is working alongside those burdened by past traumas who intuit that a flourishing life is indeed within reach. Many of us struggle with relics of the past that tend to disturbingly appear in unwanted ways in our present lives. I view these behaviors non-pathologically, thereby removing much of the shame inherent in noticing and speaking for many of these personal concerns.

In addition, I enjoy coaching motivated individuals to uncover their greatest self. Life is, among other things, complex! Sometimes, clarifying certain aspects of our lives in a more meaningful and purposeful manner can make all the difference– whether it is our professions, relationships, interests, goals, beliefs, or ideas. One of my greatest passions is to help others reveal their inherent greatness and to discover together how to best express that greatness in the world.

Unique Approach

My therapeutic and coaching focus is to provide a humanistic and purpose-driven approach that uses a blend of trauma-informed modalities and alternative methods. Ultimately, I yearn to guide an individual down the path of self-discovery. It is my belief that all of the answers that you may seek are buried as hidden treasure within you.

I utilize a rich variety of modalities to inform my unique approach to counseling and coaching. This includes polyvagal and somatic theories, Internal Family Systems, Logotherapy, self-actualization principles, positive psychology, psychedelic healing/ integration techniques, and meditation/mindfulness. I am always building my understanding of new and exciting protocols in the space of counseling and coaching so this list will most likely grow as time continues!

If any of these ideas interests you, or if you have any questions regarding any of them, please feel free to contact me!

Services Offered

Individual Therapy

There is great power in the simple act of talking. By cultivating authentic connection together, we would be able to create a space to safely and confidentially explore those parts of yourself that may feel misunderstood, misguided, judged, saddened, or anxious. My highest priority in a session is to lead you in a quest for self-betterment.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

We travel deeper into the psyche to address more firmly-held thoughts and beliefs that may have been anchored from a younger age. You recognize that there are parts of yourself that you wish to change and have not figured out just how to do so. Utilizing parts work, polyvagal and somatic theories, and mindfulness techniques, we can begin to address those parts of yourself that may be burdened by confusion, shame, and self-judgment.

20’s and 30’s Life Coaching

You are making progress in the direction of your dreams. But something is stopping you from fully actualizing your highest potential. I will provide you an individualized approach to gain greater traction toward your ultimate goals in life.

Walk and Talk + Telehealth Therapy

Sometimes, it’s easier to walk and talk instead of just talking! At Guided Expression, we offer the opportunity to meet in a quiet, spacious outdoor setting to accomplish the same goals as we would in the office. If you find that it may be difficult to meet me in person, I offer a telehealth option that may fit best for your needs.

Session Details and Costs

I offer a free 20 minute consultation to give you the opportunity to see for yourself if I would be the best fit for your needs. This is a great time to ask any questions you may have about the process as a whole! I currently offer 50-minute sessions for $180 per session. I do not work directly with insurance companies but I am happy to provide you receipts of our sessions in order to be processed as an out-of-network benefit. Please note that every insurance company has different standards for out-of-network benefits and be prepared in the event that our sessions together would not be covered by those benefits.
