I use a variety of counseling methods that focus on strengths and positive change, including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT).
I offer therapy to adults, helping with challenges like academic struggles, career goals, anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity issues. I have worked with people dealing with various conditions like ADHD, BPD, and more. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling, which means focusing on all aspects of your well-being, including mental, emotional, and physical health, and helping you find purpose and fulfillment. I specialize in wellness, career counseling, identity development, and mindfulness. As a former collegiate athlete, I also have sports performance expertise.

I commonly draw from CBT (including ACT and ERP) and DBT with mindfulness and self compassion practices.
I believe each individual holds unique strengths, values, and experiences. Harsh internal narratives and emotions can engulf you and make it hard to cope. Unresolved trauma can weigh on you and manifest as anxiety, depression and unhealthy coping strategies. Life can be overwhelming! Therapy can help you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and build the skills to persevere through the inevitable challenges you face.

Strong emphasis on DBT and CPT as well as MI techniques.
I appreciate (not shame!) the coping strategies that have kept you afloat until today. However, just because it works, doesn’t mean it’s working. You will quickly notice my emphasis on learning and engaging in the skills that lead to emotional serenity and a life worth living. YOU are the expert in your own life — my role is to help you master it.

In sessions, I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT), and person-centered techniques to meet each client's unique needs.
Whether you’re working towards big goals, navigating a life transition, or simply not feeling like yourself, it would be my pleasure to support you on your mental health journey. Therapy can be a space for growth, and I believe in the power of putting in the work, even when it feels uncomfortable. Both strength and vulnerability are key to the process, and I believe that everyone can benefit from accommodations tailored to their individualistic needs.

I use a blend of narrative, experiential, emotionally-focused and DBT approaches, but I'm not here to make you fit into my system.
Hi, I'm Pete. Therapy can mean different things to different people depending on your perspective. From mine, I'm here to help you reach the goals you're shooting for, and I'm not here to waste your time or tell you things you already know. I'll give you everything I've got to help you get where you're going. Relationship in real trouble? Feeling like you can't figure out who you are or want to be? Sounds heavy. I help with heavy.

I draw heavily upon the influences of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Do you find your desire to escape from the struggles of life interfering with your enjoyment of said life? Are you struggling to feel connected with others and/or yourself? Does the past weigh you down? Do worries/fears about the "what ifs" interfere with your ability to decide what to do? Are there other questions and concerns "tossing around in the old noggin?" If so, please keep reading to see how I may be able to help you help yourself.

I use evidence based therapies in session: CBT, DBT and EMDR to name a few.
Hi! I'm Lindy. I offer telehealth sessions (only) and can meet with anyone in the state of Iowa. A misconception I have realized in therapy is that clients look for their therapist to "tell them what to do". I believe that YOU are the expert in your own life and I am more of a co-pilot. Those who have been clients in the past will smile when they hear, "I'm just in the passenger seat holding the map, we will go down any street you want, and we can turn around if that was a wrong turn", or "You're driving this bus!".
