Prism Therapy Solutions
Affirmative Counseling in Central Iowa
Helping individuals (including members of the LGBTQIA+ community) navigate the unique struggles our community faces in order to establish a strong foundation of self-worth.
Individualized Care
It can be difficult to make that first step in deciding to start therapy. When you’re ready, Prism Therapy Solutions is here to provide compassionate care in a comfortable space. This private mental health counseling practice is based in Des Moines, Iowa. You’ll meet me, Hilary Johnson, and we’ll start our work together in a judgement-free environment.
LGBTQIA+ Safe Space
From issues surrounding identity to trauma associated with incidents of bias, harassment, bullying, disaffirmation, and more, the experiences of someone who identifies as LGBTQIA+ can span a lifetime. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am keenly aware of the struggles affecting our marginalized group. Prism Therapy Solutions is a safe space for this community. I’m here to listen, be a resource, and help support you on your journey.
Mental Health Services
Growing up LGBTQIA+ can put additional strain on children and their families. These kids need loyal advocates, strong support systems, and an affirming environment to help them establish a healthy sense of self. This is why I offer mental health services specifically related to the LGBTQIA+ experience to kids aged 10 and up, teens, young adults, and families. Since I also specialize in trauma, I’m happy to see clients from all walks of life, backgrounds, and identities.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
Focusing specifically on helping kids, teens, young adults, and families work through trauma.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
Using bilateral stimulation, often in the form of eye movement, to access and process traumatic experiences.
Play Therapy
Harnessing the power of play to help kids work through trauma and learn valuable conflict resolution skills.
