Ashley Parker Verified Provider

Brave Space Healing in Des Moines, Iowa, is the practice of licensed clinical social worker Ashley Parker. While Ms. Parker works with clients facing a large number of conflicts in their lives, at its core, her approach is about finding purpose and taking control of their lives. She creates a space where your story can be told and understood as she collaborates with you on developing a path toward recovery.

Ms. Parker is LGBTQ+ affirming. She is also neurodivergent and biracial and shows sensitivity to issues relating to neurological function and race. 

Her clinic offers one on one sessions through teletherapy, open to those in Iowa and Minnesota.

Action Oriented 

While compassionate listening and conversation are the cornerstones of effective therapy, walking away from a session with a plan is just as vital. Ms. Parker’s staff collaborates with clients to determine an appealing course of action for confronting their problems. Brave Space Healing is supportive and direct, blending professionalism with a casual, welcoming tone.

Finding Your Fit

Of course, another key to success in counseling is choosing a provider you can feel comfortable with. It’s not always a straightforward process, which is why Ms. Parker offers a free 15 minute consultation. It’s an opportunity to get a feel for her personality and approach before committing to a full session.
