Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) Therapists in Des Moines, IA

I help adults let go of what's holding them back from thriving, being themselves, and fully living. Some common issues I address with clients include overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, insecurity, and trauma. I also help to create more peace and joy at home for parents who are feeling defeated. Sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy to address deeper work for lasting change. I offer a gentle, direct approach. If you are ready to release what has been holding you back, send an email to get started!

When a family is ravaged by addiction - of any kind - everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. At Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling, we work with the family members first, so that they can make the changes they need to make to truly help the addicts they love. The results we achieve are amazing - the addicts and their families begin to make healthier life choices so that recovery from the devastation of addiction leads to their new way of life.

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.
