Doctors in Washington, MO

If you are thinking that medication might be in order, then you will need a psychiatrist, as they would be able to prescribe meds. They can also be good for talk therapy, but many people have both a psychiatrist for meds and a therapist for more frequent talking. If you need to talk to someone more urgently, Provident is a local organization that offers a 24/7 crisis line that also has a bunch of resources.314-647-4357 I have called them personally and they were very helpful. Feel free to DM me with any questions. I am very much in the mental health space, so I have lots of additional resources.

If you want to start with a therapist first before deciding on medications, the [Psychology Today website](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists) has a therapist finder tool. You put in your zipcode and other potential requirements (including do they take your insurance). Each therapist has a profile so you can a little sense of who they are before calling.

Not sure your age but you can walk into Mercy. They have a behavioral health unit too. Good luck.

Try not to get discouraged during this process. It might be a bit of work to find a therapist/psychiatrist that accepts your insurance, is taking new patients, *and* is a good fit for you. It's not unusual, especially with psychiatrists, for there to be a waitlist or where the soonest available appointment is months away. You've already started the process though, and that can be the hardest part. I wish you good health!

I’m a bit late to the discussion, but I’d like to recommend CenterPointe. Their doctors were the first to accurately diagnose me in almost a decade, and they were extremely helpful when it came to transitioning from in patient to out patient to one on one therapy. They’ve been great with helping me stay med compliant, too. They kept the process smooth and it definitely helped. Best of luck!

Dr. Chalk did Chad' s surgery on his finger. We really liked him.

Dr. Stephanie Otis did surgery on my hand when I was a teenager and I think she did a phenomenal non-profit I've never had any issues with it

Dr. Matthew Smith through Barnes Jewish him and a few others have an Orthopedic office and surgery center off of Hwy 40/64 in Chesterfield.....Dr. Smith is Mario's orthopedic surgeon from all of his surgeries from his accident. He is an amazing doctor and Dr. Smith also is the doc for the St. Louis Blues Hockey team and some of the Rams players and other major sports in the area

Also, Mario's first knee surgery when he hurt himself playing rugby he had Dr. Linz and he did a good job as well

Dr. Linz did an amazing job on my wrist surgery when I shattered it in 2009 - I had a very quick recovery after the surgery and have not had one problem since. My wrist functions as if it never happened. I have a plate and pins inside it but you would never know it. Best of luck for a smooth surgery and recovery Scot!

Dr Karr at SLU

Dr. Gregory Galakatos! My foot was completely off my leg and my tibia and fibia were snapped in half. they wanted to chop me at the knee, but saved it instead! When I say my foot was off, I mean the only thing holding it on was my nerves and ligaments. He is awesome! and is at Mercy off 270

Dr Schlafly at St Luke's has done surgery on my ankle as well as surgery on my moms knee. We've been so happy with him. Also while I can't personally tell you anything I have a friend who is an OR nurse and she just had knee surgery and Dr irvine at Mercy did her surgery.

Dr Stephen Benz, Tesson Orthopedics at 270 and Tesson Ferry. He's doing my carpal tunnel surgery on my working hand in June. Highly recommended by several patients when I complained of my hand going numb and they didn't know I had already been treated ...See More

Dr. Irvine did surgery on my grandmother's leg when she fell and broke her femur at 87 years old. He didn't have much to work with because he said her bone looked like swiss cheese but he did a wonderful job on her and she was able to walk again!

Dr Chris Kostman. St. Louis Orthopedic. My whole family has used him. My knee, michaels Ankle, Lauren's knee and ankle and Maegs knee. Awesome - we all love him

Dr. Linz did my father-in-law's knee surgery, he took care of me when I dislocated my kneecap in August, and he was Mason's doctor for his broken wrist. He's a great doctor! Praying Scot heals quickly whichever doctor he chooses!
