Compassionate Counseling Services in St. Louis

Sometimes life gets hard. Life can feel more challenging during transitions- moving to a new place or starting a new career. As we transition to new phases of life (e.g. being a parent, starting or ending a relationship, caring for a loved one) we need extra support. We are forever growing and changing. Individual therapy can help boost your self esteem and help you navigate these changes in a healthy way by accessing your resilience and inner strength. Individual therapy is a place to talk about your challenges and start your new life. Individual therapy is commonly used for the treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, ADHD, feeling stuck, restless, trauma, work-life balance, and stress.

The price per session is $130.

Children can be just as stuck as adults and their mental health is just as important. Sometimes kids don’t have the words to communicate how they are stuck whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma or something less common. Our play-therapy trained therapists can use techniques to access their feelings through play and help them overcome their challenges.  Don't be concerned if there is laughter coming out of the therapy room!

Group therapy is a collaborative tool used to help individuals grow in a safe and confidential environment. During group therapy individuals meet through Zoom or face to face to talk about their concerns as they pertain to the group topic. The magic of a group happens when group members can share their feedback, empathy, support, and encouragement with each other. Group therapy at Open Arms Wellness addresses treatment for topics like teen stress, anxiety and depression.

Licensed counselor-led group therapy for adolescents with depression are forming now.

Group fees start at $50.  We offer a sliding scale to those in need.
