Mental Health Care in Iowa

Access gap in Iowa: Iowa has seen a 30%+ increase in mental health crisis calls over the past decade, dramatically outpacing growth in available psychiatric providers. Rural Iowa counties — especially in the northwest — have virtually no local psychiatrists.

Whether you are in Des Moines, a rural community, or anywhere in between, you can access board-certified psychiatric care from the comfort of home — via secure, HIPAA-compliant video. Check the scheduling portal for current appointment availability; most major insurance plans are accepted.
