The Community Psychological Service (CPS) is a not-for-profit outpatient mental health center established by the University of Missouri-St. Louis to provide psychological services to residents of the St. Louis metropolitan area.

Recovery from COVID-19 infection can be long and challenging; physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms can linger for months or longer. Patients and families recovering from COVID-19 may thus need support and help in developing new coping strategies as they return to daily life. The UMSL Community Psychological Service center offers affordable individual behavioral health treatments that are based on the latest research.
Individual appointments are available via telehealth (online or phone) with fee based on income. The center serves individuals and families in the Metro St. Louis area and across the state of Missouri.
