Therapists in Clive, IA

Modern life is not easy. Everything has become more and more complicated: managing relationships, meeting your professional goals, balancing your time, and pursuing your interests. We all experience these demands, and each of us has a limit. When we reach our capacity, we often feel overwhelmed, angry, depressed, and even anxious. We loose joy, and even purpose; we concede to despair and are filled with worries. Even the strongest and most capable people among us need a little help sometimes to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Our private practice specializes in helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, problematic substance use, pornography and sex addiction, relationship enhancement, or stress management. If you are feeling lost and struggling with these worries, let us help you rediscover what brings happiness to your life.

I believe that It takes great strength and courage to ask for help and I would be honored to help you (or your children) find more fulfillment and happiness in life. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and have experience with children, adolescents, and adults. I engage in individual, couples, and family therapy as well as psychological assessment. I believe the range of experiences enables me to more fully understand the individual needs of each client I work with.

You have your own unique fingerprint on the world. You matter. Your story matters. I believe when we enter into therapy, we come to accept ourselves as we are with a compassionate stance and change ourselves to develop more joy and fulfillment in our life. After our first session, I will develop a treatment plan as a guidepost specific to you. I’ve been a psychotherapist for 30 years and specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, mood disorders, bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, relationships and transitions, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, grief and loss, and coping with a cancer diagnosis.

My passion is working with children, young adults and their families in dealing with a wide array of issues including depression, anxiety, anger management, trauma, self-esteem, grief, divorce, parenting concerns, and family conflict. I believe that the therapeutic process is a collaborative journey that involves the entire family. As a therapist it is a privilege to witness this journey and to offer compassion, validation, support, and education along the way. I utilize a wide variety of approaches, including play therapy, when working with clients so that each client gets exactly what they need.

Sometimes life can be difficult, and we need a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space to work through our struggles. My purpose as a counselor is to support you along the path to making positive changes in your life. It is not uncommon to feel stuck at times. I offer encouragement, hope, understanding, and added tools to assist you in achieving your goals.

I believe anyone can benefit from therapy and interpersonal development, and that no one is immune to struggles. My therapeutic approach is empathic, intuitive, and person-centered, to establish healing within the mind, body, and spirit.

Welcome! Take a breath. Since you are reading this, you are most likely pursuing change in your life or relationships. Seeking counseling or asking for support takes courage, especially in a culture of independence and self-reliance. I know it is not easy, and I respect and value that you are taking this next step. I firmly believe that effective therapeutic relationships are powerful for achieving healing and lasting change. I have over 20 years of Clinical Psychology experience, and I am a licensed psychologist in Brazil. I completed the Master of Social Work program at the University of Iowa, emphasizing clinical therapy.

Finding the right therapist can feel like throwing a dart at the board and hoping it sticks. It's an overwhelming process and I understand how uncomfortable it can be. I am open to having a phone consultation prior to your first appointment, to address any concerns or questions you may have about my style, the process, or what to expect from our sessions together. I provide a comprehensive set of services to help boost your confidence and offer support as you confront your mental health challenges.

I have immediate openings starting on Tuesday April 9th!. The openings will be mornings on Tuesdays and Fridays and afternoons on Wednesday and Thursdays. My technique is strength based, solution focused, and shaped from many years of practicing evidence-based models. I look forward to helping you find hope that life can be better.

I love doing therapy with individuals who muster the courage to seek counseling. I love working with intuitive and empathic clients. If you are someone who has a lot of "Mirror Neurons" and often picks up on the emotions of others, or other things in your environment more than most, I am happy to help, as well as give you a scientific explanation behind how your nervous system is different. Ensuring we are a good fit is important to me. I value and respect vulnerability and authenticity. Please visit my website for more information. www.luminoushope.com.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. My approach is informed by my background in psychology and my specialized training in yoga therapy. I aim to reawaken the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Utilizing mindfulness, breathwork, and body awareness, I guide clients in harnessing the innate wisdom of their mind-body systems in order to navigate life's complexities while cultivating a sense of inner peace and vitality. Whatever you're seeking support for, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey. I strive to integrate an anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirming lens into my work. With warmth, empathy, and deep respect, Jenna.

Most of us have never been taught how to build great relationships, raise children, or to be content and find meaning; these issues tend to cause us a great deal of stress. Stress is a major cause of anxiety and behaviors that you want to change. However, you have the building blocks within you to put together great relationships, raise children, and have a meaningful flourishing life. Sometimes the building blocks you already have get jumbled and need to be adjusted. Errors in thinking lead us to feel bad and spiral downward or become anxious or depressed.

I offer convenient evening and weekend appointments. We are all capable of making changes. Setting small goals can lead to larger life improvements. I have had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life and have seen amazing growth and change over my 17+ years of practicing as a clinical social worker. If we do nothing to make change, life stays the same, with the same problems. It takes courage to look at ourselves and work on the things that drag us down. Together we'll build on your strengths to help meet your goals.

How we deal with stress can bring out what seems like the worst in us or help us to learn, grow and thrive. My goal as a therapist is to offer the space to explore your current struggles in a way that helps you learn from your past, in order to find emotional balance and self-acceptance.

I look forward to working with you! You can be assured that my services are secure and confidential. My goal is to support you every step of the way as you heal, grow, and move forward in creating positive change that will allow you to enjoy life and experience freedom and joy. As a side note, society has become polarized in several arenas. I commit to you that I will not bring up politics or social issues; however, if you would like to discuss them, you are welcome to do so. I will never force my views on you or attempt to indoctrinate you with a certain viewpoint. Whatever your beliefs, I will be accepting and judgement-free.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) in the state of Iowa. I earned my undergraduate degree in social work from Dordt College, Sioux Center, IA, and my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Iowa. I provide counseling and psychotherapy to individuals as well as couples and families. I have a special interest in providing holistic care to resolve mental health issues. I welcome spirituality and religion as a resource in therapy. I also strive to provide a safe non-judgmental environment for healing of all people. See website for detailed information.

My approach to therapy is strengths-based, solution-focused, and empirically supported. In other words, I will use what research has shown to be effective in eliciting change to guide the healing process. My goal is to help you achieve a fulfilling, well-balanced life by effectively handling life stressors. I welcome individuals, couples, and families.
