Medicaid Therapists in Polk County, IA

I work with people who are struggling with personality disorders either because you yourself have a personality disorder or someone you care about has one. Personality disorders are unique in how they impact relationships and daily living and they need to be treated in a way that can work for them. I have extensive training in work with personality disorders and know how to help. I can work with you to understand parenting someone with a personality disorder diagnosis, or coping with a partner with a personality disorder, or help you to feel more able to lead the life you want despite having a personality disorder diagnosis yourself

I became a therapist with a goal to intervene at early ages with children/youth who are at risk with the hopes to minimize long term behavioral issues that lead into criminal behavior.

Hello. I am a therapist in private practice with over 20 yrs experience in a variety of settings. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, am licensed as an LMFT, and certified as an alcohol and drug counselor. Essentially, this work is about Resilience and Joy. With those qualities in mind, therapy in my practice usually includes some skill building in the areas of mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), self soothing, and assertive communication. With CBT we gain insight into the nature of mind and emotions, and become more able to manage them rather than being controlled by them.

Hello. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with couples and individuals needing help with relationship issues. I thrive on working with couples struggling with infidelity, rebuilding trust or communication/fair fighting and high conflict. The dynamic of a couple is unique and should be approached as such. I believe that every relationship can work and be healthy for both partners if both partners are willing to do the work and make changes. I am also certifified in treatment of personality disorders and am able to help in both individual and couples dynamics.

Welcome to therapy! It takes courage and vulnerability to recognize that you might need help in making some changes in your life. I whole-heartedly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to help you on your journey of self-reflection, growth, and healing. Together, we will explore your life challenges and develop personal goals to help you achieve your optimal, authentic self. I have experience working with teenagers through adults who have struggled with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship distress, past traumas, and difficulties navigating life as a highly sensitive person or an empath.

It can be really hard to share our challenges and difficulties with others. At times, this leaves us feeling like we have to just keep it all to ourselves. You are probably reading this because you think counseling might help. Whether you have tried counseling in the past, or this is your first time, please remember that you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with tough changes, relationship challenges, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or substance abuse; you've come to the right place. I specialize in offering genuine compassion and understanding as we identify solutions and supports to help you get up, keep going, and thrive.

Symptoms caused by depression, anxiety, trauma, transitions, divorce, addictions, and mental illness can cause us to lose sight of our path and feel lost and overwhelmed in our experience. Therapy can help you navigate and reclaim your confidence and sense of peace and wellbeing. I consider it a privilege to walk along with you during your journey as you explore your path and fulfill your goals. I utilize a client centered integrative approach and consider you the expert of your experience. Together we process your concerns which are leading you to therapy and together find the solutions and conclusions that work best for you.

I focus on marginalized populations and am versed in multicultural counseling. It's been a rough couple of years, and this one harder than most. So many of us are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and cast out. Suddenly, you might have noticed those bottles of wine going faster, your temper growing shorter, and the stress piling up. Everyone needs something from you, but you've given so much already and aren't sure where to refill yourself. Trans and LGBQ+ clients are my primary focus. Or/and perhaps you are a member of additional marginalized identities and facing additional stresses or obstacles in our society. Self-care IS activism.

Immediate Openings for New Clients. Do you struggle with feeling on edge and/or not caring about anything at all? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe it should not be so hard to live a better life.

Sometimes life gets hard and emotions can be difficult to manage. The symptoms of anxiety and depression can take a toll on you and prevent you from enjoying life and becoming as successful as you would like to be.
