Hello! My name is Ty Martin and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri since 2010. In addition to Missouri, I am also licensed in the states of Washington, Iowa, and Nevada. I aspire to get licensed in other states so I can provide services to those in need.
My theoretical orientation is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT) as there are a variety of interventions to choose from that are evidenced based. I specialize in Trauma Informed CBT, e.g. TF CBT for children 3-18 and Cognitive Processing Therapy for ages 14-Adulthood. However, I have had the opportunity to serve people with use of Strength Based Approaches, Non directive therapy, e.g. Client Centered Approaches and Directive therapy approaches, Skills Building and Structured Problem Solving, amongst many other interventions.
In my tenure as a therapist, I have served across many facets including Virtual, In Home, Inpatient, Outpatient, Intensive Outpatient, In School, and other Community based settings. I also have treated across diverse cultures including but not limited to age, ethnicities, gender, disabilities, socioeconomic status, etc.

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.
