Southeast Missouri covers a lot of ground with fewer providers per mile than the big metros, from Cape Girardeau down through Sikeston, Poplar Bluff and the Bootheel counties along the Arkansas line. Here are established places to start, plus what to do if standard depression treatment has not worked.

Specialty Care · St. Louis / St. Charles County
Looking for specialty depression or PTSD care?
Southeast Missouri does not have many clinics offering TMS or Spravato in person. If you can reach the eastern side of the state and antidepressants have not worked, we point St. Louis and St. Charles County readers to Brain Recovery Centers, a doctor-supervised clinic offering FDA-approved options like Spravato (esketamine). It works with many insurance plans, subject to prior authorization including MO HealthNet.
Areas served: St. Charles County and St. Louis County across the greater St. Louis metro, including St. Peters, St. Charles, O’Fallon, Wentzville, Lake Saint Louis, Cottleville and Dardenne Prairie, plus Chesterfield, Wildwood, Town and Country and Ballwin. In person at the Chesterfield and South County locations, starting with a free 30-minute consultation.
