About Us
Ozark Psychological & Counseling Associates opened in southwest Missouri in 1980. Over the years, the name was shortened to Ozark Psychological, Ozark Psych or just OPA.
Ozark Psychological & Counseling has evolved over the years to provide an array of programs and services designed to address the diverse mental health needs of the communities we serve today. We recruit only the absolute best therapists in the area to provide mental health and wellness to our clients. Our mission has remained the same to provide mental health services to those who need us. We continue to believe that your mental health and wellness is key to a happy and successful life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Every person and their needs will vary. Talk to your personal therapist about your needs and the process for your individualized therapy. Together, you will determine what is best for you.
All of our therapists are licensed professional counselors and are trained in cognitive behavioral therapy. Some therapists have extended their training in other areas to further assist their clients such as EMDR, Trauma, Gottman Relationship, Adoption, Play Therapy, and Substance Abuse to name a few. We also have a Nurse Practitioner to assist in medication management.
Most therapists have a 24 hour notice cancellation policy. You can call or text the office at 417-882-4485 or contact the therapist directly. We do understand emergencies happen, but advance notice is appreciated so the therapist has time to fill your spot or make other plans.
Every therapist sets their own value for their services and chooses whether or not they will accept insurances or self pay. We do have some therapists that may offer scholarships for those in financial need and at times we have interns that provide counseling services at a lower fee.
We hand select qualified therapists that fit various office and client needs. We also offer internships and supervision for PLPC from time to time.
