Coaching That Helps You Build a New Parenting Blueprint
Therapeutic Parent Support in Missouri
When you became a parent, no one handed you a “how-to” guide. Like most parents, you probably defaulted to the patterns you were raised with, and your parents likely did the same. Maybe you’re trying something different from how you were parented, but you still feel stuck in a cycle of meltdowns, power struggles, and tears.
The hopeful news? With our therapeutic parent support, you can create a new parenting blueprint — one built on connection, healing, and intentional choices.
Instead of repeating old cycles or trying every parenting tip you find online, therapeutic parent coaching gives you personalized support tailored to you, your child, and your family’s unique needs. With attuned guidance, you can begin passing down resilience, compassion, and healthy relationships.
When Parenting Feels Overwhelming
Many parents across the St. Louis region come to us feeling:
Ashamed that parenting feels so much harder than they expected
Envious of parents who seem to manage everything with ease
Frustrated and exhausted by their child’s behavior
Burned out from trying every online “hack” that doesn’t work
Longing to be a calm, confident parent but unsure where to start
If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and you deserve support.
Online advice can be helpful, but it can’t account for your child’s temperament, nervous system, history, or family dynamics. Our culturally responsive, St. Louis based therapeutic parent support offers something Google can’t: personalized, compassionate care from trained clinicians who understand child development and family systems.
A Judgment-Free Space for Parents
Many parents hesitate to seek therapy because they fear being labeled a “bad” parent. At Bud to Bloom Play Therapy, we believe deeply in good-enough parenting.
Children don’t need perfection. In fact, imperfection, rupture, and repair are actually essential parts of building healthy relationships. Our role isn’t to judge — it's to understand both you and your child so we can help you build the relationship you want with them.
Our ultimate goal is simple: to help parents and children experience more joy, safety, and connection together.

Through therapeutic parent coaching, our clinicians help you:
Understand your child’s behavior through a developmental and neurological lens

Identify and use your strengths as a parent during challenging times
Explore how your own upbringing impacts your parenting — and how to break unhealthy cycles

Bloom Together Pricing:
A Shared Care Model
Our Bloom Together Pricing model is built on a simple truth: families are in different financial seasons.
In order to ensure the most focused care for our families through a smaller caseload for each provider, we are not in-network commercial insurance plans.
We accept credit cards, debit cards and HSA/FSA. Many of our families have success with applying for out–of-network reimbursement for our services! Learn more here.

Supported Season:
$75 PER SESSION
Some families are in seasons where they need reduced fees to access care. We have limited spots available for this season, and families will pay $75 per session.
Sustaining Season:
$150 PER SESSION
Others may be in a stable place and able to pay our standard rate ($150).
Generative Season:
$200 PER SESSION
And some may have additional capacity to give forward, helping expand access for others in our community ($200).
*Please note that our 1-hour long parent/caregiver intake sessions are billed $25 more than your usual rate, to account for the longer session. This means intakes cost $75 for our Blooming Season, $100 for our Supported Season, $175 for our Sustaining Season, and $225 for our Generative Season.
Instead of a single flat fee, we invite clients to choose the rate that fits their current reality. Higher-tier contributions can support access to therapy for families who otherwise might not be able to afford care with us.
This isn’t charity — it’s redistribution.
