At Ashworth Therapy, we believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive place to work through life’s challenges and pursue emotional and mental well-being. Our practice was created to offer compassionate, accessible, and professional counseling for individuals, couples, and families in the Des Moines community and beyond.
Rooted in a genuine desire to help people grow, heal, and thrive, Ashworth Therapy provides a welcoming space where you can show up just as you are. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, loss, or simply seeking greater clarity and balance, we’re here to walk with you at your pace.
Our Approach
We take a client-centered, strengths-based approach that integrates proven therapeutic practices with a warm, empathetic presence. We believe therapy works best when it honors your unique story, values, and goals. If faith or spirituality is meaningful to you, we are glad to include that in the therapeutic process; if not, we respect that fully as well.
What We Value
- Compassion – Everyone’s journey deserves kindness and understanding.
- Respect – You are the expert of your own life; we’re here to support, not judge.
- Growth – We’re committed to helping you move toward healthier patterns, deeper insight, and greater resilience.
- Accessibility – We offer both in-person sessions and telehealth to make care easier to receive.
To help make therapy more accessible, we accept Wellmark/Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, and private pay.
Our Vision
Our hope is simple: to be a place where people feel seen, supported, and equipped to live with greater confidence and peace. At Ashworth Therapy, you don’t have to walk alone. Healing is possible, progress is real, and your story matters.
