Adults Therapists in Ames, IA

Hello, I am a person-centered and strengths-based counselor. I am trained in Solution Focused Brief Therapy (which is a type of CBT) and hypnosis. I specialize in young adults, career counseling, couples counseling, and women's issues. I also work with children of all ages and their parents. I have been practicing in the field of mental health since 2009. If you are looking for a warm, positive, and experienced counselor, give me a call. :) I also have a team of counselors who work with me and I would be happy to introduce you to any of them.

We all have a self that we present to the world, and then we have our authentic self. I am passionate about helping my clients find and become more of their truest, authentic selves. I want to get to know who you really are; your strengths, struggles, and everything in between. Your story is important and worthy of being shared. And by doing so, you can start to heal and find clarity in it.

It takes a great deal of courage to reach out during vulnerable times and making the decision to seek help is a big step, which is why I focus on building a supportive and trusting therapeutic relationship in a safe environment. I focus on empowering clients to gain overall well-being by providing a non-judgmental atmosphere. A cornerstone of my work is to become an ally for clients to assist them in achieving their goals and recognizing their strengths. Although I work with clients with many different concerns, my passion lies in assisting with symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and self-esteem.

I believe in the value of realtionships in therapy and the power that can bring in both our relationships with ourselves and others, to aid in healing trauma and our early life relational wounds.

I work well with clients who are motivated to learn, grow and embrace the change process. I am comfortable working with clients from all walks of life and backgrounds. I prefer working with individual clients and adults at this time.

Hi, my name is Hannah and I appreciate you taking the time to find the right therapist for you. I often work with individuals who have experienced a major loss/change or are navigating instability in their mood and/or relationships and would like to feel lighter and more in control. Across our lifespan we develop ways of thinking and behaving that are self-protecting; but as we get older these same ways of thinking and behaving might become barriers to us leading the lives we want to live. I treat adolescents and adults with issues related to grief/loss, mood disorders, borderline personality disorder, relationships, and trauma.

I work together with each individual to identify strengths, inter-relational patterns, and motivation for change. I see clients 14 and older with a particular focus on teens and young adults.
