Family and Couples Therapy, Child and Adolescent Therapy, Individual Adult Therapy, Expert Testimony and Court Services in Missouri
At Summit Ridge Counseling Group, we take care of you the best we can, by helping you become happy, healthy, and whole.
Life isn’t always easy. Everyone has moments when they struggle with their worries and anxieties, grief and depression, unpleasant thoughts and difficult emotions.
If you feel that these challenging moments are becoming a little too difficult to handle on your own, please know that there’s no reason why you should have to struggle alone. There’s dependable help available, and there’s real hope for a better tomorrow. We primarily utilize the Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in helping our clients take care of their mental health.
