We work with adults, teens, and families in Des Moines dealing with depression. Evidence-based counseling, same-week appointments, and real focus on what actually changes things. Medicaid and all insurances accepted.
What It Is
Depression has a way of making everything feel like a choice. Like if you just got more sleep, exercised more, stayed busier, thought more positively, you would feel differently. That framing keeps people from getting help longer than almost anything else.
Depression is not a motivation deficit. It is a condition with identifiable symptoms that respond to specific, evidence-based interventions. The sooner it is treated, the easier the treatment.
WHAT WE OFFER
Evidence-Based Depression Therapy
Our counselors use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Activation, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to treat depression using proven, research-backed approaches.
Structured & Goal-Focused Care
Therapy focuses on addressing the thought patterns and behavioral cycles that maintain depression through structured and purposeful clinical interventions.
Coordinated Clinical Support
For individuals also working with a prescriber, we coordinate care to help ensure therapy and medication treatment are aligned and working together effectively.
