It's great to meet you. Here's a little about me: Like my parents, I became a therapist after getting my Masters Degree from the University of Kansas. My career taught me how movement, food and sleep affect a person's mental health. This lead me to treat eating disorders. I've been practicing for a decade and I see clients in Kansas & Missouri. I work with adults who have an eating disorder. I'd like to offer you a 15-min consult where we'll continue this conversation to see if we're a good fit.

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 Missouri

Searching for therapists in Missouri is easier when you start with the type of support you want. Missouri has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural areas, so available specialties may vary by location. You might look for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare Missouri therapists, review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience. Some therapists focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, while others may specialize in couples counseling, family counseling, or support for specific life stages.

Practical fit matters, too. If you live in Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Warrensburg, or a smaller Missouri community, consider whether in-person sessions or virtual appointments fit your schedule and location. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, therapy style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading a therapist’s bio before booking can help you understand how they structure sessions, how they describe their communication style, and whether their professional counseling experience matches what you’re looking for.

The cost of mental health care in Missouri can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors who accept insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from available in-person or virtual sessions. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. From there, you can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and 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.
