Look, we all know options for healthcare in this country aren’t great; mental health options are abysmal. For the love of god, does anyone have personal experience with a provider that is more than a one off, that they enjoyed, that is not Eustasis or Burrell?

It feels like no one knows what they are doing and just pump out pills like a farmer in season. I am willing to drive a few hours just to have some competency.

For psychiatry, Dr. Willis Hoyt at Mercy is great. Good luck getting in, though. Dr. Autumn Clark is great too, at Jordan Valley.

For therapy, Tomi Taylor at All the Pieces Counseling is good. Again, not sure what their availability is.

Avoid Nancy Service at Mercy Behavioral Health Lark Street if you have anything other than mild issues. I was with her for years and she completely missed my diagnosis then argued with me when I finally got it corrected.

Check out Brian Vega at Counseling Solutions on East sunshine. Or search for Luke Smith, he used to operate out of that same office but moved to Branson. Last I checked, both took sliding scale pay.

Options for healthcare aren't great? Our healthcare industry is built to produce the best healthcare in the world. You just have to pay for the good stuff.

No, we are in a shit place for mental health. Go to St Louis or leave the state for decent care.
