From our blog

“When a client with hypomanic symptoms walks into my office, we use the first few sessions to assess their symptoms and collaborate to tailor treatment to them individually using their specific goals, personality, needs, and symptoms. For example, I had one young mom whose hypomania was being triggered because of a lack of sleep. But since she had young kids and didn’t have control over her sleep schedule, we had to focus more on coping with symptoms instead of prevention.”

– Elise Miller, MA, LPC

View article

“When working with clients, I’ve found that sometimes early warning signs of a mood disorder can get overlooked because most of the diagnostic assessments and mood disorder questionnaires rely on a client’s own view of things. Sometimes we don’t recognize our own symptoms and therefore digging into what a client’s daily life looks like and spending a few sessions together allows us to truly get to that correct diagnosis.”

– Elise Miller, MA, LPC

“One overlooked factor that can significantly influence treatment outcomes is the role of supportive relationships. For adults living with ongoing irritability linked to past DMDD, having partners, friends, or family who understand their triggers and respond calmly can create a more supportive environment that improves treatment outcomes.”

Common FAQs

How to find the right therapist in Missouri

When choosing a therapist in Missouri, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you:

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per-session cost before your first appointment.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy. Whether you’re seeking help navigating a life transition or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy is an effective treatment for many types of concerns – all you need is an open mind and a general sense of what you’d like to explore with a therapist.

How soon can I meet with a therapist?

Therapists in Rula’s network are available to meet as soon as tomorrow.

What should I consider when choosing a therapist?

It depends on your personal preferences and goals. Whether you’re seeking a therapist who specializes in certain mental health conditions, shares your ethnic background, or is available to meet at your preferred time, Rula makes it easy to search and filter by what matters most to you. If you don’t feel like your first choice was a match, don’t worry – we’ll help you switch to a different therapist in our network.

How do I know if I need therapy or psychiatry?

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms that interfere with your daily functioning, you may want to consider starting with a psychiatric provider who can assess your needs and prescribe medication if deemed necessary. If your symptoms are mild or moderate, therapy may be a better starting point. No matter where you begin your journey – your provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that’s based on your individual needs and concerns. Still unsure? Learn more about the differences between therapy and psychiatry to learn more about the differences.

Does Rula offer in-person appointments?

Once you provide us with some basic information, we’ll generate a curated list of in-network therapists who are licensed in your state and accepting new patients. From there, you can filter by what matters most to you and explore individual biographies until you find a match.

What types of care can I access through Rula?

Providers in Rula’s network specialize in individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and psychiatric care (i.e., medication management).

Who is eligible to access care through Rula?
