Therapists in Oelwein, IA
The City of Oelwein, Iowa in Fayette County was just a cornfield in the middle of nowhere bought by Gustav Oelwein in 1872. Several years later, two of the dividing streets along his farmland were named after Gustav’s two sons, Charles and Frederick. In 1968, the city was devastated by an F5 tornado that destroyed or damaged every business in town and over 750 homes.
Traumatic incidents like tornados and other natural disasters can cause mental or emotional issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other mental conditions such as depression. If you or someone you love has any mental or emotional concerns, talk to one of the many qualified therapists or counselors in the Oelwein area.

Whether it is a single event or a life time of struggles, our thoughts and emotions can become so overwhelming that every day tasks are difficult to complete. For some, it is hard to reach out for help but once you have taken the first step of acknowledging you need help and you cannot do it alone, the journey of emotional healing begins. It is learning to confront life's adversities rather than allowing them to define you. It is a journey of self-discovery, self-awareness, and learning to trust intuition while building inner strength to embrace and love who you are. As your therapist, I will walk that journey with you. I use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach as well as Cognitive Behavioral therapy, however, I adapt interventions to meet clients' needs. I also apply a holistic approach with Mindfulness-based practices to integrate the mind-body connection.
