Therapists in Cedar Rapids, IA

Bill has a very straightforward and matter-of-fact approach to psychotherapy and counseling. He describes his approach as "change oriented", believing the client's inherent strengths provide the keys to growth and recovery. Bill recognized the profound role the family plays in mental health. Bill finds working with families especially rewarding. Much of that works includes couple and marriage counseling and youth.

I work with clients who are struggling with complicated grief, anger, stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, sexual abuse, relationship concerns and substance abuse. Counseling works great for people who are willing to do things different so they can have a more positive outcome. Mental health is not something to be ashamed of and does not have to be a life sentence. Most people struggle at some point in their life and could use some support. There are other counselors in the practice that can also provide help. Visit us at www.rrcsmentalhealth.com We look forward to helping you with your journey.

Everyone has their own journey, their own story to tell and I want my office to be a sacred space where you get to share yours. The space will be filled with compassion, action, learning (for both of us) and hopefully some laughter. I hope you will allow me the privilege to join you, as you become the hero of your own story.

I consider it my privilege to join with others as they share their stories of who they are, the challenges and joys of where they have been and assisting them as they discover what lies ahead in their life's journey. Anyone who has a curiosity about who they are, how life events and circumstances affect them, have a willingness to change with a hope of where they want to be in life... is welcome.

I offer an in depth, diversity affirming approach to psychotherapy. I am passionate about providing clients with meaningful and effective services tailored to each person. My training, experience, and skill-set uniquely qualifies me to work within the intersections of addictions, attachment issues, traumatic experiences, and relationship issues. I engage with clients deeply to allow them to experience life more fully. Many people cover their genuine feelings to protect themselves from pain. I strive to create a safe environment where trust can be developed in the therapeutic relationship so that clients can gradually rely less on their need to protect themselves through self-destructive patterns.

My goal is to help you discover how you can overcome your personal struggles and resolve the issues that are keeping you stuck so that you can live the life you envision for yourself. It's your time now! It's your time to live the life that you are destined to live. It would honor me to serve you now.

Few things are more distressing than when an important relationship is not going as well as it could. Whether relationship problems are causing you stress or if you are simply struggling within yourself, I would be honored to assist you on your journey towards greater emotional and relational health. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and am also a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). Additionally, I am a Myers-Briggs Certified Practitioner.

If you are struggling to cope with relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, mood disorders, addictions, etc., I can help. Growth is often uncomfortable, messy and full of feelings you weren’t expecting. Together we can challenge your beliefs and put you on your path to personal healing. I am a generalist in treatment modalities. I consistently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy with a Strength Based Perspective. Together we can make change happen.

Successful therapy is the result of effective collaboration between client and therapist.Choosing the right therapist for you is a very personal decision and can seem like an overwhelming task so finding the right "fit" is so important. I value creating a strong, trusting relationship with my clients and want them to feel that they can be comfortable and open sharing their burdens in our sessions. I work with the client to promote self discovery and confidence building which in turn helps them to improve their relationships and manage their life challenges.

Our distinct hands-on experience-based approach is designed to empower clients to analyze their situations, make connections, and find their own solutions through personal and physical experiences. It is effective because it embraces the philosophy that humans learn best by doing. Clients have reported that they have been able to change and grow more effectively and quickly than through traditional approaches.

I work with a wide variety of individuals - adults, teens, children, and couples - dealing with life transitions, relationship changes, trauma, insecurity, anxiety, depression, grief, substance abuse, self-harm, chronic pain, and other stressors. I also see clients who feel stuck in life and want to move forward and make changes. There is hope, and there is help. I use supportive techniques, humor, and the conviction that things can get better to build an alliance and a treatment plan tailored to fit your goals and personality.
