Referral Source — Our Clients!

Understanding Minds is a locally owned and operated mental health office providing trusted, confidential, and comprehensive mental health services in-person in the St. Louis metro area and by telehealth. 


It is our belief that the mutual understanding that develops between our therapists and clients makes it possible for people to achieve their goals.

A Fresh Approach to Mental Health

Annual physicals are a way to take care of your body, and the staff at Understanding Minds believes we need the equivalent form of assessment, monitoring, and proactive approach for your mind.  When you receive services with our practice, you will be assigned a Primary Mental Health Provider (PMHP) who takes on the role of assessing and monitoring your mental health over the lifespan. The PMHP will conduct your annual or biannual Mental Health Physical (MHP) and collaborates with you to develop a custom plan of care to set and achieve goals to meet your mental health needs.  

A Commitment to Responsiveness

Our practice prioritizes responsiveness to clients, with an administrative support team available to answer questions, verify insurance benefits, and schedule appointments by phone or email Monday-Friday 9AM-4PM. We believe that a trusting professional relationship begins at your first point of contact, and take pride in timely communication so that you can focus on getting the support you deserve.
