Who and what we’re committed to
It is our mission that, for the whole of Iowa, we set the standard and raise the bar for outpatient counseling support to individuals (and the people who support them) who are living with food and body issues.
We want to be the facility that other clinics look to as a model for the standard of care of all clients, regardless of where they’re coming from or desire to go.
We believe that, so long as someone is mentally capable of making choices for themselves, all people have the right to care in an environment that fully supports their personal journey.
We believe that the pace of healing should never be rushed and that an experienced practitioner can make all the difference when it comes to assisting someone on their journey to health and harmony.
We believe that, in an outpatient setting, everyone should be given the choice of in-person or virtual care when they seek out support for mental health services.
We exist to offer healing, hope, and harmony to people who are struggling with an eating disorder, suffering from poor body image, or who are experiencing mood, anxiety, or trauma-related disorders.
Health Hope Harmony envisions a world where all people have peaceful relationships with food and their bodies.
Our vision is that all people, regardless of income, are able to access a level of support that provides them with hope and healing, both now and in their future. We see an Iowa where people make the journey to us, virtually or in-person, to get their mental health needs met. They choose to have us walk beside them on their journey to mental wellness.

Connection
You are the expert in you. We believe that, as you learn to trust us, it is our responsibility to help you connect with the deep and important parts of yourself. For example, if you know that eye contact is hard or painful for you, we offer walk-and-talk therapy sessions.

Collaboration
It takes a village to raise a child, and it might take a team to help you through your current struggles. We are part of your care team, just as much as your primary care doctor, PT, or any other specialist.

Creativity
From personal and professional experience we know that, just as having more money doesn’t fix money problems (because most of the work happens between your ears), eating disorders and body image aren’t healed just by talking about them. A big part of healing requires discovering or rekindling passions, hobbies, and the like. Creative outlets are crucial for processing emotions and trauma.

Fun
On intersecting scales of hard to easy, and awful to enjoyable, we know that although healing can be challenging, we aim to make it a process of discovery, rather than a journey reliving constant emotional pain. Embracing and utilizing creative ways of processing means fun is more likely to be present during your time with us.

Inclusivity
We believe that all people should have access to some kind of care or support. That means, people of any gender identity, sexual orientation, creed or culture, race or religion, old or young. That means people of every body size, [dis]ability, and income.
