ADHD Therapists in Bellevue, IA

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and graduated with my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Iowa in May of 2021.

Everything about you, whether it be people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, ADHD, dissociation, addictions, chronic illness, or other ways to cope, is invited and welcomed here. All of these have protected you and brought you to this point in time and I’m so grateful you are here. By combining somatic therapy with relationship and connection, healing begins. An awareness of your physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual self will begin to unfold through nervous system regulation. A sense of safety and trust in the moment emerges, maybe for the first time, and the possibility of moving to a new normal begins.

Is your child struggling to cope with strong emotions? Is this causing stress for your family? Is your child or family, coping with trauma and other social, emotional, and behavioral issues? Counseling can help your child become emotionally expressive. Your child will build confidence and self-esteem though a strengths-based play therapy approach. Your child will receive empathy and compassion during sessions, but may also be challenged. I work with clients experiencing traumatic events (abuse/neglect, car accident), depression and anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, school difficulties/bullying, life transitions (moving, divorce).

I greatly enjoy watching how the therapeutic process can assist someone through some of their most challenging moments in life. When it comes to therapy, we are on this journey together, and my goal is to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable. I am open-minded and ready to meet my clients where they are and allow the process to transform and change your life at your own pace.

I meet my clients where they are at emotionally & try provide guidance at any stage of change they are at. I can keep it very formal & clinical but I consider myself more of a guide/coach to help you navigate all of your "life stuff" including work, family, relationships, depression, anxiety, ADHD & other common diagnoses. I spent 8 years fully specializing in all things LGBTQ+ including identity & gender affirming letters/assessments for HRT & Surgical Interventions. Over the past 3 years I've also ventured into spirituality & have been integrating this into my coaching practices by exploring non-traditional treatment modalities.

I see therapy as a non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to express themselves freely. I provide a laid-back approach to help clients feel at ease. Therapy is provided to children from the ages of 5 to 18, and adults. I also provide couple's therapy and family therapy. I have experience with anger management, ADHD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, self-harm, and other disorders. I also have experience with those that may have learning disabilities or intellectual disabilities.

The therapists at United Action for Youth have a unique ability to engage teenagers in individual adolescent psychotherapy. They balance listening with talking; they don't lecture or blame; they tailor their style to increase the youth's comfort. UAY therapists have expertise in the areas that are common concerns for teens, parents, and young adults. Although our focus is serving youth 10-25, we can also provide services for adults if space is available.

Accepting new therapy clients for Fall 2023! I enjoy meeting with high school/college/graduate students and professionals who want to live life with authenticy, courage, and purpose and who are seeking ways to recharge and reconnect to themselves. Although experiences of life, including trauma, anxiety, or depression as well as changes or expansions of our responsibilities may impact how we think, feel, and behave these life experiences, while overwhelming at times, can also lead to the greatest growth, discovery, and reclaiming confidence and perhaps above all discovering that life is truly meaningful even while imperfect.

Hi there and congratulations on taking the possibly daunting step towards finding a therapist. I don't know you, but I know that takes courage. My style as a therapist can be described as collaborative, curious, responsive, intentional, and above all else, human. Although we are all experiencing this wild ride called life, I know that no two stories/individuals are the same. I'm genuinely curious about my clients and what makes them who they are, which leads way to individualized care and true understanding.

Welcome to your path toward healing. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives. My goal is to empower individuals to face and overcome challenges in their lives. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques that I base on the needs of the individual and strive to find the resources and skill-building techniques you need to reach your goals in life. Together, we will work to understand what is keeping you from living your best life, while striving to provide you with the tools needed to assist you in relating to yourself and others in new and healthier ways.

NOTE: Not currently taking clients interested in EMDR. Our minds can hold conflict within that influences conflict with how we move throughout the world. Our experiences impact how we handle conflict. Whether that be from loss, life changes, trauma, anxiety, depression, or ADHD, our responses can change. Self-awareness, self-acceptance, and showing up for ourselves can incite the growth we seek. Someone holding a private, safe space for us to unload and sift through the clutter in our minds provides a gift to ourselves of more room in our life to move away from conflicts and toward where we want to be.

As a therapist, my mission is to walk alongside you on your journey, meeting you where you're at, and offering you a safe therapeutic environment where you can find hope and healing.

I have experience serving a wide variety of individuals seeking help with their mental health, and I have provided play therapy for a range of ages.

Everyone has their own story or life experiences. I assist clients with helping them process through this, challenging negative thought patterns, develop coping skills, and help resolve these previous experiences or emotions affecting them. I hope to provide a different view of the things that you are looking to address or explore in order to help you move forward in life successfully based on goals that you have set forth for yourself personally and professionally.

Finding the right kind of help when you have a child with developmental or behavioral concerns can be overwhelming. At Meadowlark Psychiatric Services, I am passionate about making the process easier by providing comprehensive evaluations, clear recommendations, and therapy. I conduct Autism Spectrum Disorder assessments with children and adults. I have expertise in providing therapy with persons with Autism, ADHD, anxiety, and OCD. I am trained in behavioral and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to address a range of behavioral concerns that may present in home, school, or other settings.

The world we live in can be overwhelming at times. The stresses of family, work, school, and other responsibilities in our lives can add up to create overwhelming stress – additional stresses can also come from messages we hear in the media or through social media platforms. Sometimes, these issues can be easier to manage with a little extra help. When you are ready to reach out, help is available. I have been trained at Health Hope Harmony, to approach mind body nutrition with a health at every size mentality focusing on treating eating disorders and body image.
