🥫 Ankeny Family Counseling Food Drive! 🥫

Ankeny Family Counseling is proud to partner with the Ankeny Service Center to host a Food Drive — happening now through November 19!
We are collecting non-perishable foods and essential household items to support local families in need. You will find baskets near the front desk at our main location where you can drop off donations. We are collecting a wide variety of non-perishable food items and essential household products — everything from canned goods and pasta to shampoo, diapers, and detergent.

💡 Want to make an even bigger impact?
Ankeny Family Counseling will match community cash donations up to $1,500!
You can donate via Venmo using the QR code on our flyer — just include “food drive” in the description.

Every donation makes a difference, and this is a wonderful opportunity for us to come together and give back to our community.

🌎 Today is World Mental Health Day 🌎

At Ankeny Family Counseling, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. This year's theme, "Mental health is a universal human right," reminds us that everyone deserves access to care, compassion, and understanding.

Taking care of your mental health isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. Whether you're managing anxiety, healing from trauma, or simply looking for support through life's challenges, therapy can help you.

If you or someone you know is ready to take the next step toward healing, our team of compassionate therapists is here to support you. 💚

🌿 Feeling overwhelmed? Stuck? Or just ready for a fresh start? 🌿
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone either.
Therapy isn’t about having all the answers; it's about learning to ask the right questions and building the tools to navigate life’s tougher moments. No one is broken. You don’t need to be “fixed.” You just need space, support, and someone who listens without judgment.
I work with clients ages 13+ and I currently have openings for new telehealth clients!
Why try telehealth?
✔ No commute
✔ Cozy sessions from your couch (comfy clothes encouraged!)
✔ Total privacy—no waiting rooms, no awkward encounters
✔ Flexible, accessible, and just as effective as in-person care
✔ Bonus: You might meet my sweet co-therapist Siggy—named after the founding father of psychotherapy, Sigmund Freud! She takes her job as “moral support mascot” very seriously.
Every session with me is a space to feel safe, heard, supported, and 100% yourself. I’ll be your biggest cheerleader along the way.
If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy or returning after some time away, now’s the perfect moment. Reach out to schedule an appointment, and let’s take that next step together. I can’t wait to meet you!
