About Us

We are an interdisciplinary team made up of Licensed Therapists, Social Workers, a Psychiatrist and a Psychiatric Nurse. Together we are able to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to mental health treatment which includes; mental health assessment, counseling, referral, skill development, play therapy, parent child interaction therapy, sand tray therapy, psychiatric evaluation and medication management.

We serve children, teens, adults, couples and families at our Polk and Marion County offices, with 57 school locations throughout Central Iowa.

We offer mental health assessments and counseling for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families at our two locations: West Des Moines and Knoxville. Our Licensed therapists help with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, abuse, learning disorders, ADD/ADHD, stress management, relationship issues, work issues and more.
