What Goes Into Your Therapy Fee? How Much Does Child Counseling Cost?
How much does therapy with Compassionate Counseling St. Louis cost?
We work a bit differently here at Compassionate Counseling St. Louis and our process, schedule, and fees reflect that. Instead of working with dozens of kids each week in ongoing treatment, we focus on shorter term, really intentional work with a small group of kids, teens, and college students.
Currently, our rates are:
$205 per 45-minute session
$255 per 60-minute session
$305 per 75-minute session
Yes, our fees are likely higher than you have found elsewhere.
And a big part of that is to make sure that our business can run as efficiently as possible, so that we can just focus on the kids, teens, and families we work with.
We provide specialized anxiety and anger management services, and we’re super comfortable with making sure that we’re getting you the targeted help you need - even if that means that we end up referring you out to another therapist.
Goal-oriented therapy:
Our goal is to get you (or your child) on track as quickly as possible with changes that maintain over time. We have a clear system for tracking progress that lets us know if we are progressing, if we are moving towards graduating from therapy, or if we need to change things up or refer out.
(More information on whey it’s so important to track our progress can be found right here: Why You Might Need More Than Weekly Therapy: Feedback Informed Treatment, Outcomes, and Tracking Our Clinical Progress).
Specialized training for our clinical team:
Your fee also supports ongoing training and support for our counseling team. We believe in paying a high hourly rate to our therapists along with offering self-care and continuing education stipends.
In addition to ongoing anxiety therapy training, our therapists also pursue additional certification in areas that are important to them - like EMDR, art therapy, trauma therapy, or play therapy.
We want to provide the best therapeutic fit for you, and you deserve to have engaged therapists trained in cutting edge techniques - not a therapist who’s feeling burned out, or who has such a huge caseload they can’t remember what you worked on last week.
Our biggest goal is helping you and your child feel better.
Our fee reflects those targeted services, the quality we provide, and all the background data analysis that goes into our counseling together.

You can also learn more about having your insurance help you with the costs through submitting your receipts to out of network reimbursement. Questions to ask your insurance provider to get some clarity on that process can be found on the bottom of our fees and services page, found right here.
And, this fee shouldn’t hold you back from getting the needed anxiety counseling you or your family needs.
If you need help finding someone who does take your insurance, you can still reach out to us, and we’re happy to look at the list of approved providers to see if there’s anyone on there we like and recommend.
