Prism Therapy Solutions
Affirmative & Inclusive Counseling in Central Iowa
Mental health counseling for folks of all ages within LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, designed to help navigate the unique challenges we face daily and establish a strong foundation of self-worth.
Individualized Mental Healthcare
It can be difficult to make the first step in deciding to start therapy. When you’re ready, our counselors are here to provide compassionate care in a welcoming space. Everyone’s needs and comfort levels are different, so we invite you to get to know more about us to find the right counselor for your needs.
An LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC Safe Space
We are keenly aware of the struggles affecting marginalized groups. Negative experiences range from issues surrounding identity to trauma associated with incidents of bias, bullying, disaffirmation, and more. Our inclusive therapy space is here to be a safe and affirming environment for all, with a special focus on serving our LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. We’re ready to listen, offer resources, and support you on your journey to healing.
Evidence-Based Care
Through evidence-based care, our counselors help encourage the effectiveness of treatment as we work with you to identify concerns you’d like addressed. Using research-led, clinically relevant evidence helps us make informed decisions and form the best treatment plan. A few of the approaches our team may use in your care include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
Focusing specifically on helping kids, teens, young adults, and families work through trauma.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Learning how to manage negative emotions through personalized coping strategies.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
Using bilateral stimulation, often in the form of eye movement, to access and process traumatic experiences.
The Prism Therapy Solutions Team
Our care team is composed of members and lifelong advocates of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. Prism Therapy Solutions was formed because the queer and BIPOC folks of Iowa deserve a therapy group dedicated to their care. As the only 100% openly inclusive therapy space in Des Moines, we proudly welcome anyone searching for an understanding, welcoming place where authenticity is celebrated and healing is prioritized. We’re happy to work with clients from all walks of life, backgrounds, and identities.
Hilary Johnson, Founder
(she/her)
I opened Prism Therapy Solutions in 2021 with the dream that it would someday become a beacon of light for people in the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. Today, our team has grown and can now support even more individuals seeking affirmative mental healthcare, community, respect, and comfort. I know firsthand how important it is to find a therapist who understands the specific needs of someone in a marginalized community. That’s exactly why we’re here.
