Important note: I don't schedule through Headway contact me for availability.

I am becoming very specialized in relational issues, whether meeting with couples or individuals. As a society, so many are struggling in relationships, connections, and sexuality. I look at these issues largely from a developmental perspective meaning increased self- knowledge can make a huge difference in getting unstuck from negative patterns.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Saint Louis

Searching for therapists in Saint Louis starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Some therapists focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship challenges, while others work with concerns like ADHD, stress, identity, or life transitions. As you compare Saint Louis therapists, look for training and specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Saint Louis has a range of therapy options across areas like Clayton, Central West End, Downtown, and nearby neighborhoods, so it helps to narrow your search by location, appointment format, and schedule. Some people prefer an in-person office that fits their commute, while others choose virtual therapy in St Louis for added flexibility. You can also compare whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers evening or weekend availability, provides a free phone consultation, or works with the session structure you prefer. Reading profiles before booking can show how a therapist describes their style, communication, and experience with concerns like couples counseling, family stress, or individual care.

Therapy in Saint Louis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you begin. Headway helps you find therapists in Saint Louis who are accepting new patients and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for therapists in your area on Headway. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
