Adoption Therapists in Spencer, IA

My goal is to provide clients a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where they can be empowered to make necessary changes as well as gain tools to sustain those changes. I believe this is done through facilitating clients in gaining skills in self awareness, mindfulness, and developing new ways of thinking about feelings and events.

Hello! My name is Andrea Vignovich (she/her) and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). An important part of my therapeutic role is to meet you where you are on your journey toward emotional wellness and stability. I believe empathy, empowerment, and connection can help lead you toward your personal goals. In counseling, it is pivotal to create a safe and open space for you to foster growth and learning in yourself and your goals. Seeking counseling can be scary and challenging, however, it can also be rewarding and its effects are long-lasting. I hope to join you on your journey of growth and emotional wellbeing.

Everyone has a story to tell. Some stories are funny and happy, but others may be more difficult to share. Sometimes events in our lives leave us in pieces and we don’t know what to do or who we can trust with our stories. Sometimes we just need a little help to sort out how we are feeling and process through our past experiences. Sometimes we're just burnt out and exhausted from the demands of our jobs, family situations, or life in general. And, sometimes, we just need someone to vent to and talk to about what it is we are dealing with.

We are here to walk with you when you need it most. Lutheran Family Service (LFS) has an expert team of compassionate therapists and counselors to help you with marital and relationship problems, depression and suicidal thoughts, anxiety and worry, trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), personality disorders, grief and loss, parenting concerns, life transitions, work and career concerns, or chronic mental illness.

I strive to help others heal and become empowered while rediscovering their true sense of self and reconnect with their life purpose. Relationship is the foundation to healing and I use a client centered and attuned approach while integrating an individualized treatment plan to meet your goals. My goal is to meet you or your child where they are and be your guide to healing. I have over 30 years of experience working in the field of mental illness and developmental disorders.

Trained in psychotherapy and QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback. I can treat a host of disorders using QEEG brain mapping, neurofeedback and neurostimulation such as depression, anxiety, ptsd, OCD, ODD, Adhd, autism, and many more. I am working towards my BCN (Board Certified Neurofeedback) currently through the BCIA. Neurostimulation and neuromodulation show the brain how to behave, which quickly alleviates symptoms of mental health disorders. Both online and in person appointments available.

I provide support to individuals, families and couples who are affected by the struggles of daily life such as stress, anxiety, depression or those who have experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect. I encourage and empower clients to find the balance and the path that is right for their own individual needs and lifestyle choices.

In today's world, we are busy, stressed, overwhelmed... I am experienced with helping people through life's challenges. I have been a therapist (clinician) since 2002. I am a licensed independent social worker. I earned a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Iowa and a Doctorate in Social Work from Capella University. I believe the greatest gift you can give the world is a healthy you.

Happy to offer online therapy and remote EMDR. My work is evidence-based, unique, and creative. It is grounded in behavioral change, mindfulness, and traditional talk therapy, which has been shown to effectively reduce trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, childhood behavioral disorders, and grief. Through the therapy process adults, families, and children can find a safe place to develop the skills they need to heal, to grow, and to thrive. My goal is to make each session unique to the needs of each person so they can build upon what already makes them happy.

Hi! Happy to see you here! Reaching out for help with your mental health can be a hard thing to do. I'm proud of you for making it this far and you're in the right place. When facing mental health struggles, so many people feel lost, isolated and alone. Therapy, first and foremost, is a way to relieve that sense of aloneness and form a trusting, collaborative relationship with someone who accepts you just as you are.
