About Counseling

Lifestyles in our times can bring about situations, events and problems never before experienced in our society. Adapting to changing values, a more mobile society, modern career opportunities and new varieties of health problems frequently causes severe stress and relationship challenges.

Individuals and families have always longed for the comfort of trusted, effective listeners and guidance in a world that often doesn't make sense. Still true today is "the great need of the human heart to feel listened to and understood, by self and others." Psychological counseling addresses these needs...fostering spiritual, physical, and mental wellness.

Central Iowa Psychological Services (CIPS) has gathered a unique group of counselors with a broad background of education and experience to assist clients in working with behavioral, spiritual, and psychological issues.

We at CIPS believe that the work of the effective counselor is to meet the client where they are psychologically...to give acceptance and affirmation, and to explore options and support the client in growth, change and healing. The client who learns to understand and accept self is better able to understand, accept and relate to others in peaceful, productive ways.

Our staff and counselors at CIPS are friendly and sincere...welcoming clients to an environment that is accepting, safe, and gentle. Clients of all ages, from all arenas of life, will find a variety of creative services to help develop compassionate solutions for everyday, real-life problems.
