Couples therapists in Des Moines, IA

As a seasoned practitioner (since 2006) with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I have dedicated my career to mastering a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to better serve my clients.

My clinical practice is grounded in extensive training across several specialized frameworks, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Additionally, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Hypnotherapy into my work, allowing for a highly tailored and comprehensive approach to psychological wellness.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family counselor. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with my master's in MFT and worked in the Chicago area for a few years and then moved back to Iowa where I became fully licensed.

I am able to see individuals, couples, and families. I have a special interest in adoptees and people what impact that may have. I am also a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC) and have extensive experience working with those with addiction and incarceration in their past. I have worked with those who have been recently released from federal and state prison and who may be on parole or probation.

I help women overcome anxiety, burnout, trauma, stress, and self-doubt so they can feel more confident, emotionally grounded, and like themselves again. If you're someone who is always taking care of everyone else, whether as a caregiver, professional, mother, partner, or helper, you may be running on empty while putting your own needs last. You deserve a space that's just for you, where you can breathe, heal, and start choosing yourself again.

I'm a social worker with over a decade of fieldwork with various populations in numerous settings. My breadth of experience affords me special insight into and a deep passion for infertility, perinatal and postpartum struggles, chronic illness, and military life. Working together is mutually beneficial: I get to put years of schooling and experience into practice, and you get to work towards improved overall wellness.

Hi, I'm Brian. I specialize in helping with men's issues, anxiety, depression and relationships. I have experience working with individuals within the LGBTIQA+ community, Military/Veterans, and those who follow non-secular spiritual paths.

Life is a journey with many unexpected setbacks, life challenges and experiences. I am here to help you manage your journey. My practice is dedicated to providing quality mental health care to help people achieve goals or master skills aimed toward improving their quality of life. I've been practicing for 22 years.

If you've been told your anxiety, exhaustion, or emotional shifts are "just stress" or "just aging" — and something in you knows it's more than that — you're in the right place. I'm Kristal, a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting people through life's most challenging transitions. That career — rooted in crisis intervention, child welfare, and working alongside people experiencing homelessness — built in me a deep capacity to sit with complexity, pain, and change without flinching. That foundation now drives my specialized work with women navigating perimenopause and menopause. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to this work. I've walked this road myself — which means when you show up, you will be genuinely seen and heard, perhaps in a way you haven't been in a long time.
