Our Counseling Programs

Community-Based Counseling

Individual Counseling

The Megan Meier Foundation Support Center offers youth in St. Louis and St. Charles free counseling services with licensed mental health professionals. Therapy is designed to improve mental health, develop effective coping strategies, and advance self-understanding and acceptance.

Telehealth

The Megan Meier Foundation also provides telehealth therapy. Rather than meeting with a counselor in person, clients receive therapy via video conferencing or phone. This form of therapy can be more convenient or comfortable for some individuals.

School-Based Counseling

Individual School-Based Counseling

In addition to providing individual counseling services at our St. Charles offices, we also provide free counseling sessions within the school setting. These services can be more convenient and are ideal for clients who may encounter barriers to service, such as transportation.

Group School-Based Counseling

Each weekly session addresses a different core lesson, ranging from anger management to peer pressure to self-esteem. These sessions provide respectful environments for youth to reflect, express themselves, develop empathy, and aspire toward positive leadership in the community.

Juvenile Support Group

In 2018, MMF partnered with the St. Charles County Juvenile Justice Center to provide ongoing group therapy for children in the Juvenile Justice System. Therapy groups through the Juvenile Justice Center (JJC) are designed to help youth address interpersonal conflicts and emotional regulation, increase understanding of bullying and cyberbullying, make healthy choices, and develop coping skills.
