Getting to know Barbara Reed
Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or symptoms you would like to discuss with a mental health provider?
I help clients by gaining a thorough understanding of their needs through an initial psychiatric evaluation and timely follow-ups. I strive to educate you on ways to manage your symptoms with a holistic approach that may involve medication, supplements, and exercise. I am here to support you on your journey to optimal mental health.
Mental health is important because it affects every part of our lives—the way we think, handle stress, relate to others, and solve problems. I strongly believe mental illness matters just as much as any other condition, which is why I dedicated my career to treating it. I also believe deeply in therapeutic alliances; my goal is to be your mouthpiece and advocate for your well-being.
You deserve a safe place to talk openly and coordinate a treatment plan that will help you heal and grow. I will meet you with compassion and evidence-based practice so your symptoms can be safely managed. Let’s do this together!
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Saint Louis University, which equips me with the knowledge and skills to provide comprehensive mental health care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
After the first session you can expect me to prescribe if needed and send any medication prescribed to your pharmacy with directions and a referral to therapy if one is recommended. After the first visit I would like to follow up in 2 weeks or sooner if symptoms warrant it.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
