Discretion · Personal growth · Private pay
Private-pay counseling for Ladue, Frontenac & Town and Country.
Discreet, focused work for adults who want to address one consequential issue with honesty and direction.
Private concerns in a full life
Privacy matters most when the rest of life is visible.
In a close community, you may have plenty of people who know your family and few places where you feel free to be uncertain. You can appreciate your life and still want help with resentment, loneliness, parenting, or a relationship that has grown distant.
The work begins with a starting point we develop together and a candid discussion of what meaningful progress would look like. Private pay means New Pathways does not accept or bill insurance. Standard professional confidentiality applies; no counseling arrangement can promise absolute anonymity.
Access from the central corridor
Meet at the Ballwin office or by Missouri telehealth.
New Pathways Counseling is located at 625 N Meramec Station Rd in Ballwin. There is no Ladue, Frontenac, or Town and Country office. Clients from these communities may meet in Ballwin, use Missouri telehealth, or ask whether a limited $375 on-site session at an appropriately private office is workable.
$275 for 50 minutes.
$375 for 50 minutes when location and circumstances are appropriate.
Often biweekly or monthly, shaped around the goal rather than a default weekly schedule.

Designed for focused work
A place to understand what needs to change.
You might want more patience with your children, more honesty in your marriage, or some room to think about what you actually want. You do not need to know the explanation yet. The consultation is a place to describe what is happening and ask whether my experience fits the help you need.

- A specific behavior, memory, or pattern
- Private-pay counseling by choice
