We provide individual and group counseling with an emphasis on client autonomy in decision making and offer an inclusive and non-pathologizing approach to treatment.

We utilize the model of harm reduction in our therapy work and are excited to bring The Intensive, an integrative outpatient treatment program, to our community.

Our practice is also familiar with and our work is compatible with 12-step and other peer support programs in mid-Missouri, including AA, Alanon, NA, and SLAA. However, we are not a 12 step program.

There is no right way to treat mental illness, and we are committed to helping you find your way.

The Intensive Approach

What is The Intensive?

In short, The Intensive offers you up to 3 or 9 hours per week of onsite, intense therapy via individual and group counseling. Your program within The Intensive is tailored to you; you may attend for a few weeks or up to 90 days depending on the recommendations of your clinical team and your desired goals.

The Intensive is designed to meet you at your unique starting point of treatment.

For some, it will be the step-down from a higher level of care such as a residential treatment program or acute hospitalization. For others, The Intensive provides an opportunity to do more targeted therapy work without having to leave your job, family, and community. Perhaps once-a-week individual therapy has been so beneficial, you find yourself looking for more ways to dive deeper into your struggles with substance use, self-injurious behaviors, mood dysregulation, disordered eating and/or exercise, or crippling depression and anxiety. The Intensive allows you to meet with a skilled treatment team up to three times each week for anywhere between 2 and 12 weeks.
