Flexible access · Private pay

Private-pay counseling for Wildwood & St. Albans.

Focused counseling without making distance the deciding factor: Missouri telehealth, the Ballwin office, and limited appropriate on-site appointments create more than one way to do serious work.

Brian Bachman, MA, LPC

Ways to meet and plan appointments

Choose the setting that protects the work from unnecessary friction.

New Pathways has one office, in Ballwin. If getting there would make appointments difficult, Missouri telehealth may be useful. You will need a private place to talk where family members or coworkers cannot overhear; convenience alone does not create privacy.

01

Ballwin office

In-person counseling at 625 N Meramec Station Rd for clients who prefer a dedicated clinical setting.

02

Missouri telehealth

Secure remote sessions from a private setting when travel time would interfere with consistency or scheduling.

03

Limited on-site

When appropriate, Brian may meet at a suitable public or professional office in the St. Louis area.

04

Focused cadence

Appointments are often biweekly or monthly when that fits your needs. Frequency is something we discuss, not a condition that every concern must fit.

What flexibility does not mean

The setting can change. The clinical boundary does not.

Telehealth and on-site access are not shortcuts around fit, privacy, or professional standards. On-site appointments are limited, depend on an appropriate setting, and are not automatically available.

New Pathways remains an outpatient counseling practice. It does not provide crisis response, medication management, detoxification, court-mandated evaluation, or a substitute for a higher level of care.

Rates

$275 for office or Missouri telehealth. $375 for a limited on-site session.
50 minutes · Private pay · Insurance not billed

Who tends to benefit

Adults who can work independently between focused sessions.

People come from demanding jobs, busy households, and different stages of life. What matters is whether the concerns you bring fit my experience and the care I can provide. You do not need to know exactly what you need yet.

For some clients, reducing the travel burden makes it easier to protect the work without putting counseling at the center of the week.

What to discuss first

Name the issue and the access constraint.

During the consultation, explain what you want to change, whether privacy or professional visibility affects the decision, and which setting is realistically sustainable.

The conversation can then determine whether the issue fits New Pathways and whether Ballwin, telehealth, or a limited on-site option is appropriate.
