Getting to know Arkila Covington
Hello and welcome! My name is Arkila J. Covington, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a passion for guiding individuals, couples, and groups toward personal growth and emotional intelligence. Over the years, I have helped countless clients overcome obstacles, achieve their goals, and adopt effective behavior modification approaches to improve their personal and professional lives.
My journey into this field began in the St. Louis, MO Housing Projects, where I embraced my inner ambition, tenacity, and determination. Despite facing adversity, I excelled academically and pursued higher education alongside my siblings. My diverse educational background includes a dual master's degree in Sociology/Criminal Justice and Counseling Psychology, a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University, as well as a bachelor's degree in Psychology. Throughout my career, I have held various roles such as Membership Marketing Manager, Community Development Director, Wraparound Facilitator, Clinical Intake Coordinator, and Clinician, enriching my understanding of human behavior and societal dynamics.
In our sessions together, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance.
What should a new client know about working with you?
During our first meeting, I take the time to understand your reasons for seeking therapy, your expectations, and answer any questions you may have. Additionally, I share a bit about myself and discuss the limits and benefits of therapy, particularly in the context of online therapy.

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.
