Sadie Lipman

Sadie Lipman

Therapist

Virtual • Iowa


Many of the people I work with don't look like they're struggling. They're responsible, dependable, insightful, and often the person others turn to for support. They've learned to cope by staying productive, keeping their emotions in check, and trying to get things "right." Those strategies probably helped them at one point. Left unmanaged, though, they can lead to anxiety, burnout, loneliness, or a feeling that life has become more about managing than actually living.

I'm especially passionate about helping people understand these patterns without shame. Together, we'll work toward a life that feels guided by your values rather than by fear, pressure, or the need to stay in control.

I'm Sadie Lipman. I have over 7 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adult clients in Florida, Virginia, and Iowa virtually. I would describe my therapy approach as warm, empowering, and reliable. This is therapy that is up-to-date and down-to-earth. As a therapist, I blend new‐age thinking with reliable, evidence‐based interventions.

Therapist

Hello and thank you for looking at my profile. My approach to providing therapy is to Keep. It. Simple.

I focus on the mind-body connection to help you understand why things feel the way they do, how our brain and body interpret certain feelings and experiences, and then what you can do to try to manage those feelings and make situations feel more comfortable and under control.

I specialize working with adolescents, but welcome all ages and genders. My main areas of clinical focus are in mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.

Hi! My name is Helen Roberts, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. I’ve been counseling children, teens, adults, couples, and families for over 20 years - but in my experience, that’s not really what you want to know. What you really want to know is, can I help you? And is there hope for things to change for you? As a matter of fact, there is, and I hope you’ll give me an opportunity to take that journey towards healing and empowerment with you. We can change the direction of your life right now and give you hope and power again!

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Iowa

Searching for therapists in Iowa starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across the state, needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to look for experience that matches your goals. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, or stress. As you compare Iowa therapists, review their listed specialties, therapy styles, and areas of focus, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy.

Location, schedule, and format also shape whether a therapist is a practical fit. If you live near Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, or Iowa City, you may find more in-person options, while virtual therapy can expand your search across Iowa. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. Before booking, check whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they describe their approach and what a first session may include.

The cost of therapy in Iowa can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway makes it easier to search for Iowa therapists who take insurance, compare availability, and see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your specific coverage when you enter your insurance details. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
