Therapy from home, anywhere in Missouri.

Where we can see you
Licensed across Missouri, and beyond.

All clinicians, in person or online.
Clinicians who meet onlineAlso licensed in
You need to be located in a state where your clinician is licensed during each session.
Is it right for you?
Online therapy works well for…
- Busy schedules, shift work or long commutes
- Living outside the Kansas City area, anywhere in Missouri
- Health, mobility or childcare needs that make travel hard
- Feeling more at ease talking from your own space
- Keeping therapy going while life gets hectic
Not sure? Many clinicians offer both formats, so you can start one way and switch later. Online therapy isn’t an emergency service: in a crisis, call or text 988.
What you’ll need
- A phone, tablet or computer with a camera
- A steady internet connection
- A private, quiet place where you won’t be overheard
- To be in a state where your clinician is licensed for each session
What we help with online
The same care, from wherever you are.
Online sessions are available for individual therapy and many of our specialties. Ask on your free call which approaches and clinicians fit your needs.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
For many people and many concerns, including anxiety, depression and trauma, online therapy works well. Your clinician will talk with you about whether it fits your needs, and you can switch to in-person sessions if it doesn’t.
Does insurance cover online therapy?
We accept the same plans online as in person: Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Optum, Cigna, Aetna, Medicaid (Missouri & Kansas), Medicare, plus several EAPs. Telehealth coverage depends on your plan, so call us and we’ll check before your first session.
Can I see a therapist online if I live outside the Kansas City area?
Yes. All of our clinicians are licensed in Missouri, so you can meet online from anywhere in the state. Some clinicians are also licensed in Kansas, Iowa, Colorado or Washington, and one psychologist can see clients in PSYPACT states.
Can I switch between online and in-person sessions?
Many clinicians offer both, at our Blue Springs or Lee’s Summit office or online. A few see clients online only. Ask on your free call which format your clinician offers.
What if I’m traveling during a session?
You need to be physically located in a state where your clinician is licensed at the time of each session. If you’ll be away, let your clinician know ahead of time so you can plan together.
Is online therapy right for a crisis?
Online therapy isn’t an emergency service. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, at any time, or call 911 in an emergency.
