Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
I understand how overwhelming life can feel, having navigated my own challenges and seen firsthand the healing that therapy can bring. In my online private practice, I work with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, trauma, OCD, life transitions, depression and relationship struggles. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach—including DBT, ERP, and behavioral strategies—I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Healing is possible, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way—right from the comfort of your home.

Kevin Stegeman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Clients can expect a welcoming, structured conversation focused on understanding what brings them to therapy and what they hope to gain from the process. I take time to learn about current challenges, relevant history, and any symptoms or stressors such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, or life transitions. We also begin identifying clear, collaborative goals so therapy has direction and purpose from the start. I typically introduce an initial treatment plan and may begin discussing early coping strategies or skills that can provide immediate support. My goal for the first session is to help clients feel heard, establish a sense of direction, and leave with a clearer understanding of how we will work together moving forward.

Kevin Jones
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NEC
I believe therapy should be a place where people can be honest without feeling judged, rushed, or pathologized for what they are going through. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, make sense of the patterns that keep them stuck, and move toward real change rather than just temporary relief. I work to create a space that is warm, grounded, and direct, where clients can feel supported while also being challenged in helpful ways. Whether someone is struggling with anxiety, OCD, relationship issues, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, I aim to offer therapy that is thoughtful, practical, and genuinely meaningful.

St. Louis sits at a crossroads of the Midwest and the South, and its deeply segregated geography shapes a mental health landscape where therapists frequently address racial trauma, economic stress, and community-level grief rooted in the city's long history of systemic inequality. The 2014 Ferguson uprising brought national attention to St. Louis and left a lasting psychological mark on many residents, and therapists specializing in racial trauma, activism fatigue, and community healing remain in strong demand. Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital provide world-class institutional mental health resources, with a strong private practice community concentrated in Clayton, the Central West End, and South City. St. Louis's lower cost of living relative to coastal cities makes quality private therapy more financially accessible for many residents.
