Hi there, I'm Rob. Looking for a counselor is an important step, and the fact that you are searching for one is commendable in itself. You’re considering opening yourself and your struggles – possibly something you have never done before – to a stranger. Your options are limitless, and it may feel a little overwhelming. You want and should have the best counseling for you. Rest assured that all the counselors you can choose from are capable, competent, and licensed. All of us have years of education and, in some cases, many more years of experience. Yet, that does not mean that everyone is necessarily “right” for you. Finding that a counselor is not “right” for you is not a failure on your part or theirs. It simply was not the right fit. So, how can you best determine if you’ve picked the right one? Like any significant relationship, it can take time to decide. Some things you may want to consider in the process are whether the experience and education of that counselor match the particular issue for which you are seeking assistance. Some counselors have areas of focus that they are very skilled in and other areas in which they are not so skilled. You may also consider style differences. Do you prefer more directive and prescriptive counseling or a process-oriented space to allow you to come to your own conclusions? Finally, and perhaps most importantly, do you feel heard, validated, and supported as you open yourself up? So, as you browse profiles at this moment, you are considering an important question. Please allow me the opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself to help you begin finding the answer.

I am a Missouri Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience. I have had the privilege to provide counseling for individuals (children, adolescents, adults), couples, and families in various settings including in-home, private practice, hospitals, and correctional institutions. Over the years, I have met people from all walks of life just trying to cope with the human condition in the best way possible; addictions, trauma from abuse, relationship difficulties, coping with grief and loss, or even struggling with a significant psychological disorder. My goal is to meet whoever I have the opportunity to counsel exactly where they are, without any preconceived notions or agendas. I wish to validate, listen, and respect the person first – then aid, assist, and support in achieving whatever goal desired. My style is one that can match the individual needs at the time. This is for us to determine as we get to know one another and begin unpacking the complexity of whatever problem brings you to counseling.

It is my intention that if you get paired with me or choose me as your counselor, you will be met with warmth and empathy. You are making an important choice to begin living your best life possible, and I am glad to have the opportunity to help in whatever way I possibly can.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
