Change, Inc. is the top of my list for counseling referrals. Every person I have sent here shares their experience of growth and change for the better. The therapists are top notch. Ryan Neace has assembled a counseling team like no other and he himself is passionately dedicated to the commitment that every client receive excellent care.

It's funny they would mention, "those who pursue counseling are typically strong and capable," when they made me feel neither of those things after I used their services. With how awful they treat people, I can't believe legally they're still allowed to run a business, let alone a counseling service.

I have not used their services but the company responses to the negative reviews is enough of a deterrent. Majority seem like a template response with specific jabs added to the end of it. With mental health, customer service and mindfulness are extremely important because youre dealing with fragile individuals. I see neither mindfulness nor adequate customer service from whomever has been in charge of responding to reviews. The responses alone make me want nothing to do with this company
Edit: the response literally validates my main point. Firstly, fragile as in sensitive, not as

Honestly, do yourself a favor and dont go here. They arent well organized. They arent engaged in sessions and I just never FELT GOOD here when I left my sessions. If you want someone to just listen to you, go talk to a random stranger in the park for free. Thats the quality of therapy youll get here. There are many good emotionally productive therapists in St Louis, but not Change Inc.
LIFE UPDATE: actually I went to another professional that did a MUCH BETTER job. Instead of spending an hour talking in circles, I got EMDR for my trauma AND was diagnosed with ADHD that Change Inc

Starting therapy is never an easy thing, but here I was put at ease. I am thankful for the kind, caring and empathic services received all the way around. Ryan has been wonderful throughout the process and allowed me to feel heard and provided me with additional resources as needed. It has been so helpful for my growth and healing and I am thankful for the work they all do!!

Good luck !!! I tried to seek counseling for my husband and I a week and half ago and was told by Katie that they could help us. Katie and I agreed up on Sunday counseling for my husband and I. I reach out to her and told her that I was ready to pay and she told me that we were not a good fit for their program !!! I ask her why, and she told me that she reached out to me twice within two weeks and I did not respond. I told her that I am a busy lady and that I travel from one job to another and she hung up on me and when I tried to call back to make sure that it was a mistake she block me ! Im
