Welcome to the Relationship & Intimacy Center in West Des Moines, Iowa!

Relationship & Intimacy Center ranked #1 in West Des Moines, Iowa

Our focus is on your wellbeing, however you define it.
We believe life is short and full of experiences, and no one needs to go through challenging times alone.

Our group of specialized therapists work together to help you improve your personal life and/or your relationships. We offer a unique and comprehensive approach including individual therapy to adults, couples therapy, couples intensives, and online webinars/workshops for groups.

 If you are looking for individual work, our individual therapists work with self-esteem, emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, communication, sexuality questions, and how these can impact your relationships at home or at work. They are also trained in EMDR therapy and somatic/yoga therapy to help you overcome past trama from childhood, family, and work.

If you are looking for couples work, our couples counselors offer regular relationship counseling, sex therapy, and couples intensives for quick breakthroughs, all led by licensed relationship therapists and an AASECT sex therapist. We will be offering EMDR for couples soon as well.

If you are looking for more information about our work, we have very upfront blogs, free webinars, and group workshops.

Finally, we also count on a therapist intern that could see individuals and couples for a small self-pay fee. If you prefer this option, please mention that when you contact us.

Our therapists will strive to help you feel stronger, communicate better, create and develop your relationships and intimacy with loved ones, process past challenges that still affect you, and discern how to move on with your life.

You will be treated with respect and compassion in a friendly environment, with access to all our specialties.

Our Center welcomes all life experiences. We are a LGBTQ+ affirming and an anti-racist practice.

We honor faith-based and secular perspectives.

We offer sessions in-person and online, Mon-Fridays (9 am to 7 pm) and Saturdays (9 am to 2pm).

Our professionals accept self-pay, out-of-network, and a few insurance plans (BCBS and HealthPartners, depending on the therapist). Click here to learn more.
