Your mental health is important. Besides being physically healthy, you should strive to be as mentally healthy as possible if you want to live a good life. However, this can be a challenge. No one seems to care. Your own mind doesn’t seem to care. Thankfully, a counselor based in Des Moines can help.
The city of Des Moines is named after the river. This translates to River of the Monks. Being more like a monk is a good thing to strive for. Letting go of things you can’t change, and seeing inside yourself and finding the good in life are goals to have. A counselor can help by giving you the introspection you need.

Life challenges do not discriminate. When they enter your life the struggle is the same. It does not matter race, culture, class, or age the stress is the same. As a therapist, I believe each client struggling with challenges has a story to tell and needs a non-judgmental listening ear. The story of life brings a variety of fears, expectations, victories, losses, feelings of grief, and possibilities for making new meanings. Challenges not only affect the individual, but also impacts intimate relationships, families, and communities. Both mental and physical healt...

Having a hard time selecting a mental health professional in Des Moines? (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 Des Moines therapist can help you confront these kinds of issues and find ways to face them and heal.
With more than 215472 people in the city of Des Moines, IA finding a therapist can be both costly and hard to do. Our goal with the list of therapists shown above is to get you the support you need.
