Davenport residents deserve accessible mental health care. Headway's network of 328 providers brings flexible, insurance-covered sessions to your community, with many patients paying as little as $0 per session and free consultations available to get started.
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.

I'm a licensed counselor in Iowa (in-person sessions in Manchester), and Texas, with eight years of experience in the counseling field. I earned my MS in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2019 and am a doctoral candidate (ABD) in trauma counseling from Liberty University with an expected graduation in summer 2026.
I have training and experience in trauma-informed treatment. Although I utilize others,t he primary modalities I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I have spent most of my professional career working with women, LGBTQ+ folx, and sex workers who have experienced various forms of abuse throughout their lives. I help people navigate difficult patterns in relationships, coping skills, wellness goals, boundary setting, and exploring what you want to be different in your life.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as both an educator and hospital social worker, giving me firsthand insight into the pressures and challenges that often accompany helping professions. In addition to my clinical experience, I've spent many years serving in Christian ministry, an experience that continues to shape the compassion, perspective, and care that I bring to my work. As a therapist, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and life transitions.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life's most overwhelming moments. When you are in the middle of a crisis, it can be incredibly difficult to see a way out. My goal is to provide a safe, stabilizing environment where we can untangle the chaos together.
I'm a compassionate and empathetic therapist dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate life's challenges. I have a passion for serving Veterans and individuals with complex trauma/PTSD. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and parts. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Davenport starts with finding someone whose training and listed specialties match what you want support with. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare Davenport therapists, review whether they mention approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or acceptance and commitment therapy. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their style, focus areas, and what sessions may be like.
In a smaller market like Davenport and the Quad Cities, local appointment options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Iowa. You may want to filter for therapists accepting new patients, appointment times that fit your calendar, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, therapy approach, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Davenport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you search for Davenport therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, enter your insurance information, and see an estimated session cost before you book. From there, you can compare therapists, choose the format that fits your needs, and book directly when you’re ready.
