Synergy Counseling Center 1717 East Republic Road, Springfield, MO 65804

"Seeking therapy is hard enough with encountering rude and uninformed staff. This place seems to have some qualified therapists if you can get past the woman who answers their email. First, Darla, the woman I emailed with, did not bother reading the entire email I sent. Then, when I replied asking my question again, not only was she rude, she was inaccurate. She told me, “Nobody here takes any Medicare Advantage plans,” when all their providers are listed in Anthem Medicare Advantage PPO’s provider list. I’ll be seeking therapy elsewhere."

"I could not be happier with my past and present experiences with Synergy. Darla at the front desk is always so kind and welcoming and just a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. And I am biased as she's my therapist, but Kristal McCleary is the absolute best. If you have any hesitations in taking that first step, please read this and know you are in great hands. Take the chance and reach out to get more information if you're looking for a great therapist, you won't regret it. One last thing to note - while I had to get on a wait list initially, Darla was super great at keeping in communication with me to let me know they hadn't forgotten about me, and keep me updated, which was greatly appreciated!"

"A fantastic facility and staff providing expert counseling services! Lacey was my primary therapist and we established a trusting and nourishing relationship to explore my emotional and psychiatric well-being. After a few months she became a certified EMDR practitioner and we began these sessions. I am very grateful to them!"

"Wonderful place. Incredible people who will go above and beyond for you. Jeremy is who I see and honestly I feel safe and that he accepts me unconditionally. This makes communication so much easier. The classes are amazing as well with wonderful staff. If you're reaching out this is the place to go."

"I started Synergy IOP program approximately a year ago. When I started I was very mentally ill, struggling with severe depression and ptsd and all that comes along with that. When you walk into Synergy, you are greeted by all the staff who are very clearly there to help you and make you as comfortable as possible. They matched me with a therapist that was a great fit for me. (Shout out to Kristal McCleary, LPC!) I began attending their classes five days a week that range from everything about DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) to Positive Psychology, Mindfulness for Addiction, Healthy Relationships, Co-Occurring Disorders, Coping Strategies and more... They work very hard with your insurance to ensure the most coverage that is possible. Also, the therapists there are trained in EMDR therapy, which has been vital to the healing process of my ptsd and depression. If you’re looking for a place to recover mentally and/or pursue sobriety, Synergy is a compassionate, knowledgeable, and passionate place to be."
