Having a hard time selecting a mental health professional in Ankeny? (How we can help)
What is the cost difference between conventional therapy and working with one of our listed therapists above?
Did you know our therapists are not limited to in-person visits?
How to know if therapy is right for you?
A therapist wants to support you toward a healthier emotional state, no matter what you're dealing with (including behavioral health concerns, grief, anxiety, depression or stress). While helping to develop healthier emotions, another benefit of therapy is you have a safe space to discuss problems that you may be hesitant to talk about with people who you see everyday.
Many people have sensitive topics to discuss; possibly an addiction or an issue with their relationship that they’re ashamed to speak about with their friends and/or partner. A Ankeny therapist can help you confront these kinds of issues and find ways to face them and heal.
