Therapists in Cedar Rapids, IA

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.

I believe in the power of transformational relationships. I believe everyone deserves to be heard, believed, and valued. I believe that we owe one another empathy and care. I adventure through this world, knowing we are all doing our best. Sometimes, we all need a little extra help to get where we want to be, and I’m honored to be a part of the journeys of others. My goal is to always lead with a listening ear and without judgment. I’m a collaborator in the process and meet others where they are. I strive to make my office a space where everyone feels safe and comfortable enough to share who they are and where they want to be.

Have you had therapy before that has helped, yet after a while the same challenges keep coming back? Have you had trauma therapy, yet got stuck at a certain point? Do you have a strong startle response? Are your relationships presenting challenges that persist in spite of your best efforts? Have you suffered a painful loss? Are you at a transition point, keenly aware that your present actions will lay a foundation for the rest of your life? Maybe you just want to get it right the first time?

Immediate Openings-limited availability Everyone deserves to tell their story and to be listened to with respect and dignity. My passion is to give people a safe space to tell their stories so they can start on their path of healing. I assist my clients with finding a different perspective about their story or problem so they can build better relationships, navigate the future, and heal completely as a person.

As a therapist, I strive to help people get connected and reconnected with their lives by being true to themselves and living lives they can be proud of. I strive to teach, inspire, and help each client to reach achievable goals in order to enrich their lives.

Hi. Welcome. I’m so happy you’re here. Therapy can be such a life altering experience when you are with the right therapist for YOU. It is important to me that I provide a safe, warm, & accepting space for you to explore & learn about yourself. Whether you’re presently going through something incredibly confusing or painful, looking to heal things from your past, or hoping to work toward being your best self in the future, I’d be honored to support you on your way. I’m here to be with you as you face the emotions, thoughts & behavior that have got you stuck.

My goal in therapy is to create that space through acceptance, connection, and compassion. Through a collaborative process I hope to help individuals find their voice, create balance through mindfulness, and work towards their goals. I understand that working towards change can be overwhelming and that embracing openness can allow for new experiences in life. I am willing to be there with you to find peace within and be present the way you want to in life, through creating new meaning.

Renew Counseling helps work through life transitions, anxiety, mood disorders, depression, addictions, grief/loss, spirituality and body positivity.

Reach out today and renew your mind, body and spirit.

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've been a therapist for more than 17 years and am passionate about working with children and families. I offer telehealth and in person therapy. If your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, impulse control, hyperactivity, inattention, poor boundaries, anger outbursts, emotional regulation, adjusting to separation/divorce, blending families, coping with the death of a loved one or even a family pet, I'm here to help.

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.

You are not your anxiety, your depression or your past. We all have challenges and seeking help is a sign of mental health, by reading this you have already taken the first step. I would be honored to help you on your journey of growth with an approach that is warm, compassionate and strengths focused. I utilize an empathetic, skills based approach centered on the client. I am mindful that you are and will always remain the expert on your life, as I tailor my approach to best fit your needs. I have experience working with individuals, couples and familes with variety of backgrounds.

When faced with relationships, family, employment, or personal emotional difficulties, it is hard to know who to trust. Family, friends, and co-workers might have well intended advice, but it is not what you really needed to feel better. You need a safe place to heal from past trauma, ongoing mental illness with someone who truly listens and is knowledgeable. The idea of therapy can be scary for some, but with the right provider, you can feel more confident, self-compassionate, and able to cope with those challenges in life.

Do you feel heavy with life’s stressors or maybe you're realizing you have some deep-rooted issues from your past that need tending to but worry you will be a burden to your loved ones? Do you avoid by stuffing your emotions down? Avoidance feels good in the moment but long term, it can impact our ability to function as it exacerbates our emotions and leads to things like anxiety, depression, anger, or even addiction. Having someone unbiased and safe to talk to can make a tremendous difference in our ability to cope and feel present for the beautiful things in life.

I take trust very seriously. I have always been the person others can confide in and know there is not a risk of judgment. I am proud of that and will understand the gravity of your vulnerability and fear of trust. I'm here to listen to your story, and feel it is important that my clients get an education on the therapeutic process, skill building, training, and accountability.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker ready to accompany you on your journey to healing.

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.

Reach out by email for fastest contact. The most powerful predictor of whether therapy will be effective is your relationship with your therapist. Finding the right one can feel overwhelming but you are already on your way. My approach is warm, empathetic and straightforward. I am accepting and direct in nature while focusing on strengths and growth. I do not "beat around the bush" as they say, while also being understanding and kind. I know how important it is to find the right "fit" with a therapist so I offer free 30 minute intro sessions so you can determine if I am the right therapist for you.
