Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Relationships can be extremely challenging, and contribute to anxiety, stress and depression. Relationship Counseling is not just limited to married couples—it can be beneficial to any relationship. Anyone looking to strengthen emotional connections, communication, understanding, and seeking to thrive in a relationship can benefit from the tools and skills provided in relationship counseling.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
The combination of rapid eye movement while thinking about past events in a kind of cinematic fashion—as if one’s memories were scenes from a movie—allows the brain to reprocess maladaptively filed memories.
Several of our clinicians are trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.
We provide EMDR Therapy in Ankeny, IA.
Medication Management
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Medication Management
Sometimes mental wellness needs a two-pronged approach by using both therapy and medication.
While therapy is at the heart and core of achieving your goals, we also offer medication management services to determine if they are needed and continued monitoring of their effectiveness.
Tonia Erickson, DNP FNP-BC is not your average clinician. She listens, cares and will help you navigate medication options, if it is necessary. She also offers GeneSight testing to determine which medications may be the best fit for you.
We provide medication management in Ankeny, IA and via telehealth.
GeneSight Testing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Medication Management
Like how your unique fingerprint unlocks your phone, the GeneSight test unlocks your genetic “fingerprint”, providing insight which our clinicians can use to inform your mental health medication treatment and may improve your chances of finally feeling like yourself again.
After testing is complete you will receive a GeneSight Psychotropic report that will be reviewed by our clinician.
ADHD Testing
ADHD Testing
ADHD Testing
Using QbCheck, an FDA cleared diagnostic screening, we can test both children and adults for ADHD. QbCheck is a 15-20-minute computer-based objective test that measures core ADHD symptoms: activity, attention and impulsivity. Results are analyzed and presented in a report that compares a client's results with a group of people of the same age and gender who do not have ADHD.

Play Therapy
ADHD Testing
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a form of therapy used primarily for children. That’s because children may not be able to process their own emotions or articulate problems to parents or other adults.
While it may look like an ordinary playtime, play therapy can be much more than that.
We use playtime to observe and gain insights into a child’s problems and help the child explore emotions and deal with unresolved trauma. Through play, children can learn new coping mechanisms and how to redirect inappropriate behaviors.
