Depression Therapists in Ankeny, IA
My experience is with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, adoption related issues, substance abuse, family conflict, child welfare, and managing life events.
Making the decision to start therapy can be a very vulnerable time, whether it be for you or your child. In therapy you will have a safe and judgement free space to meet your goals.

Whether you are struggling to overcome an incident or event, wanting to make specific changes in your life, or looking to improve your overall quality of life and feel better about yourself, we will work together.

I meet with clients regarding a wide range of issues, including, but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and disability.
I am excited to announce my practice is expanding. We now have three licensed therapists who are all fantastic caring people. It is important to accept a person exactly where they are, in a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore their issues, find and nurture hope, and together work toward growth and equanimity. As a counselor, my job is to hear, accept and understand my client as a whole person and provide strategies to achieve their goals. Growth, healing and change can be challenging and may take hard work on the part of the client and the counselor. I am honored to be a part of that process with my clients.

Hi! I'm Amy Parker Reid. I am a master's level social worker in central Iowa with over 16 years of experience working with children, teens, and young adults. While on my journey I have gained a deep understanding of Iowa's mental health system, available resources in the DSM area, and special education services. As a former special education teacher and counselor, I have seen first-hand how difficult adjusting to new circumstances, routines, and relationships can bring about intense emotions and challenging behaviors. These stressors can often lead to a pattern of negative interactions and power struggles leaving parents frustrated.

If you are experiencing depression or anxiety, I prioritize creating a space where people feel respected and safe to explore their life experiences.
Congratulations, on taking the first steps on your healing journey. We don’t heal alone, and I’m humbled to stand side by side with those on this journey, to be a reliable presence of encouragement while taking the steps to heal emotionally and mentally. My greatest passion lies in assisting people to unlock the ability to live their most authentic lives, in a society that often doesn’t prioritize mental well-being. I take a systemic approach to mental health therapy and specialize in working with people of color and individuals with marginalized social identities.

I work with individuals who are experiencing adjustment difficulties, anxiety/stress, depression, trauma, grief, problems related to family relations, employment, and support for families who have loved ones with disabilities.
Sometimes it is hard to navigate life's challenges. These challenges are often related to the connections we have with ourselves, others, and how we make sense of life events. As a therapist/counselor, my goal is to develop a safe environment where we partner to improve those connections and create healing. I believe in using warmth, honesty, humor, and current research-based methods to achieve this goal.

Accepting new clients. When life gets hard, it can be helpful to have a safe place to let it all out. I'd be honored to be that safe place for you. I won't judge you, I won't criticize you, and I won't leave you feeling unsure of yourself. I will, however, motivate you when you're feeling overwhelmed, comfort you when you're hurt, reassure you when others make you feel unworthy, and challenge you to think differently.
