Cost and insurance in Missouri

673 of Missouri's 700 groups are free to join. Beyond those, costs span a wide range, and the range is real. Peer-led groups are usually free. Sliding-scale and community-funded groups often charge $5 to $25. Insurance-covered groups commonly involve a copay in the $20 to $50 range. Private-pay rates vary the most: some groups charge under $50 a session, while specialized programs, intensive formats, and highly credentialed facilitators price well above $100. Every listing states its own cost, so you know before you reach out. Most major insurers reimburse virtual group therapy at parity with in-person care. Always confirm coverage with your plan.

In Missouri, the state Medicaid program is MO HealthNet. Some listed groups accept it; each listing's cost line says what it takes.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How much do therapy groups in Missouri cost?

673 of the 700 groups in Missouri are free to join. There is no single going rate. Peer-led groups are usually free, sliding-scale and community-funded groups often charge $5 to $25, and insurance-covered groups commonly involve a $20 to $50 copay. Private-pay pricing varies the most, from under $50 a session to well over $100 for specialized or intensive programs. Every listing on this directory states its own cost, and many groups offer a free intro session.

Do I need a referral to join a group in Missouri?

Most groups in this directory accept self-referrals; you contact the facilitator directly. Some insurance-covered groups require a referral from your primary care provider or therapist. Listings note any requirements.

Are virtual therapy groups as effective as in-person?

619 virtual groups are open to Missouri residents, and research consistently shows virtual group therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person care for anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction recovery, and it expands access for people in rural Missouri.

How do I know a listing is current?

Group leaders write their own listings. The directory checks each listing's details against the group's own website on a rolling basis, and listings show the date those details were last checked. That check confirms the group exists and its details match; it is not a clinical review or an endorsement.

If you need help now

A support group is not crisis care. If you or someone you know is struggling right now:

  • Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Free, confidential, 24/7.
  • Many counties run local warmlines for non-emergency support. Search your county name plus "warmline."
