Ashley Paulson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LIMHP, CHt
Feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? Overthinking or losing sleep? Not feeling good enough in relationships or parenting? I help adults let go of what's holding them back from thriving including overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, insecurity, and trauma. I also help parents who are feeling defeated to create more peace and joy at home through connection. All services are online/by video.
I offer a safe space to share, let go, and grow! Sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy to address deeper work for lasting change. Approaches: mindfulness, guided meditations, parts work, shadow work, EMDR, CBT, NLP (regulation & releasing limiting patterns), hypnosis (relaxation, inner child healing, and more), and PCIT (kids aged 2 to 7).
An empowered, authentic life is waiting for you - send an email to get started! Appointments are NOT offered during late afternoon, evenings, or weekends.

Ashley Collins
Hypnotherapist, C.MH
Virtual appointments are available so that I can serve you from the comfort of your own home. This also gives me the ability to assist clients nationwide and offer more hours of availability. Appointments are typically held via my HIPPA complaint virtual platform to ensure you receive the same private quality service you would in my office.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Carry me in your back pocket where ever you go in the world. Our coaching sessions can happen anywhere you have a phone or wi-fi signal. My primary focus and concern is YOU; and you carry yourself around with you always. So we don't need to be in the same physical space. The only requirement for online coaching is that you be in a place where you feel free to share your thoughts openly, honestly and transparently to get the most out of our time together.

Brooke Maffia Wang
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA
My role is to listen with you as you discern your own internal wisdom and path. My lifelong work of spiritual formation and soul care is informed by Internal Family Systems and supports a contemplative evocative compassionate listening stance. I practice as a "Spiritual Director," however that label can be misleading and better described as a Spiritual Companion who walks with you along your journey.

San Francisco Counseling Collective
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMFT, LCSW
Many of us reach out when we feel the need for support, or help working through challenging times. Sometimes we face challenges we think are too difficult to manage alone. At San Francisco Counseling Collective ("SFCC"), we believe in taking a strength-based, client-centered approach to psychotherapy, working with you to help you grow toward your best self. The familiar ways you have of dealing with life's complications may not be working; together we can work to identify new positive means of change.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
I work with adults who want to explore patterns in their emotional, relational, and embodied experience-whether related to anxiety, mood, chronic tension or pain, behavioral patterns, or concerns around intimacy, desire, and connection that feel blocked, conflicted, or no longer fully alive. I offer private-pay online services internationally as a psychoanalytic hypnotherapist and clinical sexologist, working within a reflective, depth-oriented process.

Annie Harton Kassell
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Good therapy does not require a commute or a waiting room. I see clients by secure video across every state where I am licensed, which means you can do this from your own home, on a nap schedule, around a workday, without adding a drive to an already full life. For a lot of the women I work with, telehealth is not the compromise. It is what makes therapy possible at all. If you live in Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, New Jersey, South Carolina, Florida, Colorado, or California, we can meet online.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
People want fullness of love in life (in work, relationship and purpose), but get stymied by anger, anxiety, or existential dilemmas. Sometimes talking about it isn't enough to transform it. To make significant change, after we name emotions and explore their sensations, we can build a new somatic relationship. By compassionately attending to old habits, then invoking new awareness of how to thrive, we liberate ourselves from past patterns and welcome new joys. If you like contemplative exploration of the roots of your issues, guidance to find your inner ah-ha!, and support for your own wisdom to lead you forward, give me a call. I believe the energy we call Divine (or Source, Consciousness, Godde, All) is within you and around you, ready to speak. You have the answers within you, I'm here to help you find them- and implement them.

8 Years Experience

Des Moines is Iowa's state capital and the center of America's insurance industry — home to Principal Financial Group, Wellmark, and dozens of other major insurers — creating a therapy demand shaped by the particular stresses of financial services careers alongside the concerns of a growing and increasingly diverse urban population. The city has experienced dramatic demographic change through refugee resettlement and immigration, with growing communities from Myanmar, Congo, and Latin America making it one of the most rapidly diversifying mid-size cities in the Midwest. UnityPoint Health — Iowa Methodist Medical Center and MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, with a private practice community concentrated in the West Des Moines and Urbandale corridors. Iowa's relative shortage of mental health providers makes Des Moines an important access point for the broader state, and many therapists here serve clients from smaller surrounding communities.
