Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Iowa

Hello! I’m Amy and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in WI, MI, MO, and IA. I know that life can be incredibly heavy, and having a dedicated partner to help you navigate those challenges can make all the difference.

I entered the field of therapy because I have seen firsthand the profound impact that the right support can have on a person's life. I know that life can be incredibly heavy, and having a dedicated partner to help you navigate those challenges can make all the difference.

I am trained in helping you (and the people you care about) to work through challenges in life like sensory issues, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, and trauma. My background includes training in trauma-informed expressive arts therapies and strengths-centered approaches so that we are supporting you living your best life.

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. To this day, the therapeutic relationship and alliance remains one of the strongest predictor of the effectiveness of therapy. As such, I firmly value the therapeutic relationship and will work to provide a safe and secure dynamic to support clients as they work towards their individualized goals. As a provider, my focus is on helping clients build emotional regulation, self-trust, and enhances their natural resilience at a pace that honors their nervous system and lived experience.

I am so happy you are here. I've practiced counseling since 2012 and am a licensed mental health counselor in Iowa. I provide telehealth therapy, which is an accessible way to receive healing from the comfort of your home. My work includes helping people with life transitions, relationship conflicts, grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I offer both individual and couples counseling.

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 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.
