Welcome! My name is Riley Rodemaker (He/Him) and I am a tLMHC at LifeWorks - Ankeny. I know that reaching out for help can be very difficult and I have a lot of respect for the bravery that it takes. My hope is that we can work together to help you feel better. I believe that empathy and compassion serve as the foundation for any helping relationship. I am a generalist counselor (meaning I have some experience with a variety of issues); however, I especially enjoy working with clients on issues related to anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and suicide/self-harm.
My approach to counseling involves first building a strong empathetic relationship with the individual by getting to know them and their unique life story. After all, no one knows you better than yourself. From there, I tend to blend concepts from different evidence-based therapies such as Acceptance & Commitment (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I know it can be difficult to ask for help, especially when it can feel like admitting there is something wrong or you are having a difficult time. It is okay to not be okay. There are people and resources available to you. Reach out today to schedule an appointment, I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.

I believe there are some core struggles across different mental health problems. A major struggle is how we handle our uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. In therapy we will work together to develop new skills to change your relationship with your thoughts/feelings. We will also focus on shifting your thoughts to improve your emotions/behaviors.
