Cedar Falls & the Cedar Valley
Is there counseling for women in Cedar Falls and the Cedar Valley?
Close enough to come after class or before pickup, and quiet enough that you can say what you came to say.
Lori Rasmussen is a Licensed Independent Social Worker and a Certified Spiritual Director. Her office is at 3356 Kimball Avenue in Waterloo, about fifteen minutes from most of Cedar Falls, and she meets with women and female students from all over the valley.
If driving is hard, or your week simply doesn't have room for it, you can meet online from anywhere in Iowa. Same conversation, same care.
Who comes to counseling from Cedar Falls?
- Students at the University of Northern Iowa and Hawkeye Community College.
- Women balancing work, family and a lot of quiet worry.
- Mothers who spend all day tending to other people's needs.
- Women in a season of grief, change or a decision they can't seem to make.
- Women who want their Christian faith welcome in the room, not managed around.
What can you talk about here?
Anything that has started taking up more room than you want it to. Most often that looks like anxiety and depression, a hard relationship with food and your body, grief and life changes, or the long habit of never feeling quite enough.
If faith is part of how you make sense of your life, it is welcome here. See Christian counseling or spiritual direction for what that can look like.
