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) and TMS. It accepts most insurance 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 and by telemedicine.
