About Us

What We Do

At 515 Therapy & Consulting, we believe growth starts from the inside out. We inspire meaningful change that lasts.

Our providers offer a full spectrum of mental health services — including therapy, medication management, and psychological testing, as well as specialized care such as play therapy, discernment counseling, and co-parent counseling. Whether you’re working through personal challenges or wanting to strengthen relationships, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence. We offer in-office appointments at our West Des Moines location and virtual sessions across Iowa and select states. Our team works with individuals, couples, and families of all ages, using proven, evidence-based approaches.

We also bring our passion through public speaking, leadership development, and interactive workshops designed to inspire authentic communication and meaningful growth.

We believe people do their best work, and live their best lives, when they feel seen, supported, and connected. At 515 Therapy and Consulting, we partner with you to make that happen. Learn more on our Services page.
