Are all the therapists listed here licensed mental health professionals?

Our directory only includes licensed mental health professionals, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, family therapists, marriage counselors, and social workers. Before accepting therapists in Cape Girardeau, MO to be listed on our website, we ensure they are licensed to treat clients in the state of Missouri.

What personal characteristics should I look for in a therapist?

You may prefer to work with a therapist in Cape Girardeau, MO who speaks a second language, shares your religious beliefs, or is of a certain gender, race, or ethnicity. These are all attributes you can filter by in our directory. Finding the right therapist who shares your values or personal experiences may help you open up more quickly and have better chemistry with them, empowering you to develop a healthy relationship with your therapist.

How much does therapy cost?

Therapy costs vary by location, therapist experience, and training. In the US, a session typically starts at around $80 and goes up to $300. Insurance coverage can considerably lower this cost if the therapist is in-network.

Is online therapy right for me?

Online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy, depending on the mental health condition being treated. Serious, life-threatening mental illnesses that require visual observation of the patient’s behavior are more suitable for in-person sessions. In most other cases, the option for virtual sessions makes the therapeutic experience more convenient, making consistent participation more likely.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Therapists in the US must comply with HIPAA laws to protect sensitive health information. Therapists will only discuss a client with others if the client provides written permission, except in cases where the client is in danger of harming themselves or others, there is suspected abuse of a child, elderly or dependent adult, or if legally required by court order.

How often will I meet my therapist?

Most therapists recommend weekly sessions with their patients. Many therapists also assign “homework” between sessions, such as thought exercises and practicing mindfulness. Under certain circumstances, a provider may suggest more frequent meetings.

What types of issues can a therapist treat?

Therapy can provide effective treatment for various mental health issues and a wide variety of common life challenges, including:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Relationship problems
  • Eating disorders
  • Low self-esteem
  • Stress
  • Trauma/PTSD
  • Women’s issues
  • Coping with chronic illness
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Personality disorders
  • Grief

What type of therapy is right for me?

The right type of therapy depends on several factors, including why you’re seeking treatment, your timeline, and your personal preferences. Some therapies are time-limited, while others are open-ended. Some providers specialize in specific therapeutic approaches, known as modalities. If you prefer to work with a therapist who focuses on a specific modality, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, you can use our filters to display therapists in Cape Girardeau specializing in CBT or any other modality.

  • Play therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Teen counseling

These are just a few of the options to consider when seeking out mental health treatment in Cape Girardeau.

What should I expect during my first therapy session?

During your first therapy session, your therapist will likely ask you questions about your background, current situation, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. This initial session is an opportunity for you to get to know your therapist and determine if they are a good fit for you.

If you are typically not an open person, you may find some of these questions uncomfortable to answer. Rest assured that this is a normal part of the process required to help the therapist identify the areas in which you need help and guidance. Even if you find it difficult to open up, as you begin answering the questions and speaking about your struggles, you are likely to feel some relief.

Is therapy available for children and adolescents?

Can therapy help with major life changes?

Yes, therapy can help individuals navigate major life transitions by providing support and strategies to cope with stress and uncertainty. This includes personal growth, family dynamics, and professional or work-related issues.

Can therapy help with trauma?

Yes, therapy can help individuals address traumatic stress disorder and other conditions by providing a supportive space for healing from trauma. This therapeutic journey can lead to self-discovery and growth while working through the impacts of past traumatic experiences.
