My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.

First of all, I am NOT your typical psychotherapist.

I'm pretty casual. I wear jeans and the occasional t-shirt to the office. Makeup went out the window when Covid hit. I have a dry sense of humor and sarcasm is my second language.

I like to sprinkle "f*ck" into my everyday vocab like little bits of colorful confetti. Feel free to add to the fun.

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 Springfield

Finding the right therapist in Springfield, MO starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, ADHD, or something else, look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who specializes in the area that matters most to you. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and style before you reach out.

Springfield has a range of mental health providers, but practical factors like scheduling, location, and session format can make a difference in whether you stick with care. Some providers offer both virtual and in-person sessions, which can be helpful if you're balancing work, school, or family commitments. A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right match before committing to a full session.

Therapy in Springfield can be expensive without coverage, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Springfield who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

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