If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, carrying the effects of trauma, or facing a life transition that feels hard to manage, therapy can be a place to exhale. I work with adults who want support making sense of what they’re going through and finding practical ways to feel more grounded, understood, and in control. I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.

Hello! My name is Hannah, I’m a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience. I strongly value providing trauma-informed care and treatment that is grounded in safety, steadiness, and that is focused on the client’s self-determined need.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Des Moines

Finding the right provider for ADHD in Des Moines starts with understanding what kind of care you need. A therapist who specializes in ADHD can help with building coping strategies, improving focus, and managing day-to-day challenges. If you're looking for medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit. Some people choose to use a combination of care approaches, and Headway's network includes providers who offer different types of support.

With many providers in the Des Moines metro accepting new patients, you can compare options based on what matters most to you — specialty experience, session format, or scheduling availability. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and whether they work with adults, children, or both. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can see if it's a good match before committing.

ADHD care in Des Moines can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who specializes in ADHD and accepts your coverage.
