Because your
Mental Health Matters
Dr. Rachael Herrington Roldan
My experience and training enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care utilizing evidence-based practices to diagnose and treat a number of mental health disorders. I would love to help if you or a loved one is struggling with anxiety, fear, worry, panic, depression, intrusive thoughts, obsessional doubt, intolerance of uncertainty, mania, or psychosis. I have experience treating a broad range of clinical problems and would love to help you get your life back!
Many of my past and current clients are just going through a rough time and need additional support from someone outside their immediate circles. Others have a diagnosable clinical disorder such as OCD, PTSD, Social Anxiety, Specific Phobias, Panic Disorder, Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder or Schizophrenia. I primarily work with adults but see children and adolescents with specific concerns within my areas of specialty, particularly those with OCD.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Oklahoma State University with my Bachelor of Science (BS) in Psychology in 2002. I earned my Master of Science (MS) and Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD), both in Clinical Psychology from Texas A&M University in 2004 and 2008, respectively. As part of the doctorate program, I completed my Pre-Doctoral Clinical Psychology Internship at Baylor College of Medicine (2007-2008) and stayed an additional year there to complete my Postdoctoral Clinical Psychology Residency/Fellowship (2008-2009).
I have experience using evidence-based treatments to successfully help clients with a variety of clinical concerns, and using a number of different treatment approaches. We can work collaboratively to discuss which approach may best meet your needs!
I trained initially at the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) at UCLA in 2011 and have treated numerous clients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder since that time. The BTTI is an in-depth, three-day intensive training course in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for mental health professionals who are treating individuals with OCD and related disorders (see iocdf.org for more information).
I attended two different, two-day intensive trainings in 2023 for Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for use with OCD. This is an evidence-based treatment for OCD that has been in use in Europe since the 1990s but is newer in the United States. This approach is useful for all forms of OCD but is particularly attractive for clients dealing with some of the lesser known (and more taboo) forms of OCD such as scrupulosity, pedophilia OCD, etc. (see icbt.online for more information).
I attended a training on how to utilize Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) in Youth and Adults as a way to further support clients with co-morbid OCD. Research indicates co-morbidity rates anywhere from 10-50% across studies. Most of my experience with tics is in the context of treating OCD, though I'd be happy to consult with any individuals with Tourette's or Chronic Tic Disorders.
I was trained in EMDR in 2016 and was subsequently certified by EMDRIA to use this treatment approach for individuals who have experienced trauma. EMDR is a comprehensive psychotherapy that accelerates the treatment of a wide range of pathologies and self-esteem issues related to disturbing events and present life conditions (see EMDR.com or emdria.org for more information).
I trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy in 2023 and underwent advanced training in 2024. This approach works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions (see acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com for more information).
For a few years starting in 2010, I was part of a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) research study where I learned to provide Individual Resiliency Therapy (IRT) and Family Education (FE) to those experiencing a first episode of psychosis and their families. I was the first therapist out of 34 sites in 21 states to be certified to provide that treatment as part of the study (see raiseetp.com for more information).
CBT is an evidence-based treatment for many different psychological problems. I have been providing therapy using this approach to a number of different clinical concerns since I was in my doctorate program at Texas A&M University. I enjoy using this approach to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and panic attacks, as well as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and other disorders (see abct.org for more information).
I was introduced to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) during the two years I spent at Baylor College of Medicine, where I ran DBT skills training groups. From 2014-2015, I completed one year as part of a comprehensive DBT team where I provided both individual therapy and skills training in a group setting. While I am not currently on a DBT team, I can provide DBT-informed treatment interventions (see dbtmo.org for more information).
I am qualified to provide comprehensive psychological testing for a variety of referral questions. Psychological evaluations allow us to learn valuable information about mental health and personality in a relatively short period of time. This information can inform treatment and often allows clients to gain more from their efforts in individual therapy. Though this was a huge part of my training, I currently conduct these evaluations on a very limited basis.
I-CBT is an evidence-based treatment approach helpful for individuals who have health anxiety and/or OCD (including intrusive thoughts, obsessional doubts, compulsive behavior, or avoidance). This group is open to all adults who wish to gain skills that will be helpful in addressing symptoms of OCD and health anxiety.

Dr. Roldan is a Licensed Psychologist physically located in the state of Missouri. Through an agreement with PsyPACT, she is able to provide Telehealth services to individuals in at least 42 states across the United States. To see if your state is one of them, please visit https://psypact.gov/mpage/psypactmap. If you do not reside in one of these states, she is unable to provide your clinical services at this time.
Dr. Roldan is a solo practitioner who does all of her own scheduling and billing, and she is often busy with clients during regular business hours. If you do not get a call within 24 hours, please make one additional call back and leave a message, as there have been a couple of issues where messages did not transmit clearly.
The BEST way to contact Dr. Roldan to see if she's a good fit for you (or a loved one) is to schedule a free consultation (virtually) at 417psych.com. If you would prefer a phone consultation, you may call 417-413-1724 to get that scheduled. These are the most secure options from a privacy standpoint.
We do not bill insurance, and we are not credentialed on any insurance panels.
With that said, Dr. Roldan qualifies to be an out-of-network provider on some plans and will provide an itemized invoice that you can submit to your insurance company to negotiate for reimbursement. You can contact your insurance company directly to inquire about its reimbursement policy for out-of-network behavioral health treatment. If you intend to submit superbills to your insurance company, please let us know as soon as possible, as there are pros and cons that should be discussed in advance of this decision. We make no guarantees based on offering a superbill. It is your responsibility to communicate with your insurance provider. Dr. Roldan does not communicate with insurance providers.
For individuals with Medicare, you are NOT able to receive and submit superbills and must enter into a private contract in order to receive services with Dr. Roldan.
Call the number on the back of your insurance card, and ask to speak with a representative. Be prepared with a pen and paper to receive a lot of important information. Once connected, ask the following questions:
1) Does my policy provide out of network benefits?
2) Do I have a separate deductible for out of network claims? Or is it one deductible for in- and out-of-network claims?
c) How much is my deductible for out-of-network, and how much has been met to date?
d) What is my co-insurance?
e) Are telehealth services covered in my out-of-network benefits?
f) What will I need to do to see an out-of-network provider and be considered for reimbursement?
Submitting a special receipt to your insurance company is necessary if you wish to utilize out-of-network benefits provided by your managed care provider. This special receipt is called a "superbill" and contains important information such as the National Provider ID of your therapist, a CPT code (procedure code), a diagnosis, and information about the location where you received services (in-office, telehealth, etc.). If your managed care provider offers out-of-network benefits, they will ask you to submit a superbill for eligible services. Our electronic medical system uses the title statement for insurance reimbursement; this is exactly the same as a superbill.
Individuals with Medicare are NOT eligible to receive reimbursement from Medicare and must enter into a private contract in order to receive services from Dr. Roldan. Alternatively, Dr. Roldan can provide referrals for a different provider who accepts Medicare.
If you specify in advance that you wish to receive regular superbills, they will automatically be made available to you around the first of each month for the previous month's services. If you decide later to submit superbills, they can be generated after the fact with some extra steps involved. The superbill is released from our electronic medical records system, and comes from a “noreply” email from the software program. Superbills are emailed to the email address that you first used when you completed your intake paperwork. If you do not receive this in your inbox, it may mean that the superbill landed in your junk mailbox, or it may mean that we did not check a specific box when we got you set up in our system. Do not hesitate to reach out for assistance!
