Are you going through a major life change and feeling unsure of what comes next? Maybe you're adjusting to an empty nest, a career change, retirement, or the loss of someone important to you. These changes can bring feelings of worry, sadness, loneliness, or uncertainty about who you are and what you want from life.


I help adults in midlife and later life work through these challenges with greater confidence and peace of mind. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, family concerns, or changes in your health, you don't have to figure everything out on your own.


My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and better able to handle life's ups and downs. Together, we'll explore what matters most to you, build practical tools to manage stress, and find ways to bring more meaning and joy into your life.


I believe that even difficult changes can lead to new opportunities for growth. With compassion, understanding, and years of experience, I'm here to help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Kim Cespedes

Kim Cespedes

Therapist

Virtual • Iowa


Hi, I'm Kim. I'm a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. As an immigrant and bilingual professional, I understand that life's transitions can bring unexpected challenges, uncertainty, and feelings of being caught between different expectations or versions of yourself. I know how difficult it can be to ask for help when you're used to carrying so much on your own.


My approach to therapy is collaborative, authentic, and nonjudgmental. I want you to feel comfortable showing up as you are, without pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, recognize the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build on the strengths you already have. I believe growth doesn't mean having all the answers; it means learning to navigate life's challenges with greater self-awareness, confidence, and self-compassion.


In our work together, I'll combine empathy with practical, evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs and goals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, difficult life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself, my goal is to help you develop healthier coping skills, strengthen your relationships, and create meaningful change. You don't have to figure everything out on your own. Therapy can be a place to pause, reconnect with yourself, and take steps toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

Kristal Steeves

Therapist

Virtual • Iowa


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.

Hi, I'm Joanie! If you're feeling weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or painful life experiences, you don't have to navigate them alone. Trauma can leave you feeling stuck in the past, constantly on edge, or wondering why certain emotions and reactions seem so difficult to control. My approach is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults to better understand how past experiences continue to shape their lives today while helping them build the insight, confidence, and tools needed to move forward in a way that feels authentic and empowering.

Dealing with grief, loss, or trauma? Feeling disconnected, alone, and unhappy? Struggling with relationships, addiction, or painful wounds from childhood? If you said yes to any of these, I can help. Often, the burdens of trauma manifests itself in mysterious ways and can lead to various concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trust issues, isolation, and shame. These challenges can hinder healthy relationships and self-care.

Today is my favorite day because it is today.

Hi, I’m LeAnn. I’m a licensed mental health counselor who works with adults and teenagers from 13 to 99. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and other emotional challenges.

❤️ I’m deeply passionate about this work because I’ve lived it. My own recovery journey has shown me just how vital mental health is—not only for healing, but for being able to show up fully in relationships and in life. I believe that if I don’t care for my own mental health, I can’t truly support others or engage in the kind of meaningful connections we all deserve. That understanding drives my commitment to walk alongside my clients with authenticity, empathy, and purpose.

💬 Whether you're just beginning your journey or continuing to work through long-standing issues, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, clarity, and care.

Would you like help crafting a final call to action or contact line? I can also format this for your website, a flyer, or social media profile.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families dealing with a wide variety of concerns.
