Teletherapy for Cedar Rapids, IA

Trauma comes in many forms. Whether it's the death of a loved one, abuse & violence, DHS involvement, a bad break-up, chronic illness, criminal justice involvement, chemical dependency, or loss of parental rights; experiencing trauma can feel very isolating. You might find yourself feeling detached from others or having difficulty with developing authentic connections with people. Maybe you feel lost and uncertain about how to carry on. Or maybe you're finding yourself lashing out at others with little or no reason. Somedays it can feel like nobody understands your pain or how broken you feel.

Current Openings Available! Individual and Couples.....Experienced Therapist specializing in providing a holistic approach to healing mental and emotional symptoms. I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy; in which the goal is to come to terms with the unique underlying reasons for your distress. I treat each client as an individual. There are no scripted treatment protocols. We work where you find yourself today. Many clients who come to me have been unsuccessful in previous therapy and are feeling STUCK. Why is it so hard to change patterns? Why do you find yourself in the same pattern again and again?

Welcome! I'm a neurodiversity-affirming therapist who specializes in working with autistic individuals and adults with ADHD. Do you feel like you are wearing a mask? Or feeling like you don't know who you are? Together, we will identify your strengths and areas you want to improve. Consider working with me!

Handling problems on your own can be a good decision. But when things don't improve and life becomes overwhelming, getting help might be necessary. Sometimes, people are reluctant to go to therapy because they see it as a sign of weakness. It can be difficult to open up and be vulnerable to someone new. But there are times when everyone needs help and guidance through life's challenges. I understand this relutance and I'm here to make this process as easy and as helpful as possible. I will listen to your problems, give you encouragement and support, and teach you the skills you need to improve your life.

Day-to-day life can be challenging! When you add symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma, life becomes unbearable. Naturally, we are not born knowing how to navigate the flood of feelings or the loneliness that comes from stress, trauma, and losses. Attempting to fix it yourself or ignoring the problem can result in a cycle of escalating emotions. But you don't have to do this alone. Therapy is a collaborative relationship where together we process your personality, values, and strengths and use them to get you to a better and calmer place. I use evidence-based psychotherapy approaches that best suit you, including CBT and ACT.

I believe that everyone is unique and deserves a therapeutic approach that will meet their needs. I have worked hard in creating a personalized approach to therapy which allows each person to be the center of focus and go through their journey at their own pace. A dedicated playroom allows children to explore and process at their own level through play and creativity. With teenagers my focus is on their skills and strengths while building them up to help them meet their goals and overcome obstacles. With adult clients I provide a safe place where they can process openly without fear or judgement.

Pain, illness, and trauma can create instability within our lives. Optimal health and healing is more complex than simple mental or emotional wellbeing. At OmniHealing Psychotherapy, I strive for holistic healing involving every aspect of an individual's life - mental, physical, emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual - by harnessing the brain and body's innate ability to heal itself. I believe individuals have the answers within themselves to produce desired change and healing. My job is to help facilitate discovery of those answers and aid in navigating through obstacles to promote healing.

Hello. Do you feel overwhelmed and underappreciated? Does your life feel out of control or unbearable? Having a person who listens without judgement is instrumental to the healing process. No one should go through life alone. A therapist can be an advocate, a cheerleader or even a coach for your life. I welcome you to come and share your burdens with me and we will work out a solution together.

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.

Grace C Mae Advocate Center is based on our founder's experiences of having a child born with complex medical needs and hidden disabilities.

It is our mission to help people find solutions to their unique and diverse problems. We work hard to restore hope, and to find solutions. We approach our work with compassion and no judgement. We have offices in Cedar Rapids, Marengo, Marshalltown, and Washington.

It can be hard to find a therapist if you have shift work or a full schedule, so I am offering sessions from 5am-Noon. In our office, we work on life transitions, gaining insights, making changes, improving relationships, and learning how to to feel more calm and settled. Here you can find out more about healthier coping techniques, and reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms of depression, ADHD and anxiety.

I seek to honor your autonomy and provide a space where creative expression, curiosity, and ingenuity might collide to present you with new avenues to explore. Let’s release expectations, and bravely explore the possibilities of your authenticity together.

Therapy dissects life occurrences and issues and identifies the obstacles that may be limiting personal performance. Once the obstacles are identified, emotional growth can occur through a process of learning to adapt or removing negative thinking. My job, as a therapist, is to support my clients' feelings and thoughts, while at the same time to encourage the transformation of those emotions and thoughts toward the pursuit of a fuller, more satisfying life.

**Currently Accepting New Clients** Mental health is important now more than ever as increased solitude and stress can only heighten symptoms that are already plaguing individuals, couples, and families. It is increasingly important to take the steps necessary to maintain that health through seeking a trusting and empathetic source of support and connection.

I find myself grounded in an Attachment-based, somatic, and existential approach working with ages 3-77+. As humans, we each are the experts of our lives and lived experiences. It is through that expertise that we hold the capability to heal. As a play therapist, I believe that children communicate and heal through play and utilize integrative and synergetic approaches, sand tray, attachment-based play, and EMDR to assist children and their families. With some clients, I will evaluate systemic norms and how the client can be empowered by examining the role of power structures as they relate to the impact of developing identity.
