LeAnn Price

Therapist

Virtual • Iowa


You may be trying to keep things together while feeling anxious, down, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to get back to feeling like yourself. Maybe past experiences are still affecting you, relationships have become difficult to navigate, or you're struggling to understand why you keep reacting in ways you don't want to. For teens, this can look like withdrawing, feeling misunderstood, struggling at school, or having emotions that feel difficult to manage. For parents, it may mean trying to support your child while also feeling unsure of what to do next. I work with teens, parents, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges, and I strive to make therapy feel warm, genuine, and easy to talk about.

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Des Moines

Finding ADHD therapists in Des Moines starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD often focuses on executive function, organization, time management, emotional regulation, and patterns that affect school, work, or relationships. Medication management is different and is usually handled by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some work with both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also call for different experience, so review each therapist’s listed specialties before booking.

Des Moines has a solid network of mental health professionals, and virtual care can expand your options beyond offices near downtown, West Des Moines, or nearby suburbs. As you compare therapists, look for experience with ADHD as well as common co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, or learning-related challenges. Availability, appointment format, therapeutic approach, and free phone consultations can also help you narrow the search. Reading therapist bios can show how they describe their work with ADHD, including whether they mention cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based support, or experience with adults, children, or teens.

Therapy in Des Moines can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their specialties and availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details. From there, you can compare therapists, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
