PTSD isn't only something that happens to combat veterans.

Trauma can come from childhood experiences, difficult relationships, accidents, medical events, and more. It can show up as anxiety, sleep issues, emotional numbness, or a constant sense of being on edge.

Iowa Behavioral Associates has providers trained in evidence-based trauma treatment, including EMDR and trauma-focused CBT.

If you've been carrying something heavy for a long time, we're here to help.

New patient appointments available in West Des Moines and Ankeny.

The seasons change. So do we.

If you have been feeling off this spring -- more tired, more anxious, more disconnected -- you're not imagining it. Seasonal shifts can bring real emotional weight.

You don't have to push through it alone.

Our providers are here to help you figure out what's going on and find a path forward. New patient appointments are available in both West Des Moines and Ankeny.

Are you a new mom or mom-to-be experiencing sadness, worry, anxiety, or fear? Having a child can bring up an intense mix of emotions, both positive and negative.

Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are the #1 complication of childbirth, affecting 1 in 5 women. These disorders include depression and anxiety during pregnancy and the first year postpartum. Other symptoms can include feelings of anger or irritability, sleep or appetite disturbances, feelings of guilt or shame, loss of interest or joy in things you used to enjoy, lack of interest in the baby, or thoughts of harming yourself or the baby.

PMADs don’t just affect the mother, either. Other family members, such as dads and partners, can experience symptoms, too.

✨ The good news for you is that help for PMADs is just a call away. We have experienced mental health providers available for scheduling within two weeks! Molly is one of our providers at the Ankeny location who is passionate about providing care to this population. Give us a call today at 515-348-6380 to schedule with her or one of our other board-certified professionals. We look forward to serving you.
