Counseling Practice – New Moon Counseling Alliance
New Moon Counseling Alliance is a mental health collective based in Eastern Iowa, comprising licensed therapists who have joined together to serve the mental health needs of the state. The alliance describes its structure as a collaborative group of mental health professionals united around a shared mission of expanding access to counseling in Iowa. Its stated goal is to help clients better understand themselves and cope with change through an approach centered on healing and self-discovery.
The practice places particular focus on serving the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent individuals, and those who experience oppression or face identity-based barriers to mental health care. New Moon Counseling Alliance describes its approach as identity-positive and body-positive affirming, working from a therapeutic orientation that acknowledges the central role that identity, lived experience, and social context play in mental health and wellbeing.
Services include individual counseling and psychological services. Telehealth options are available for clients located anywhere within Iowa, and in-person sessions are also offered. Specific therapeutic modalities, such as CBT, EMDR, or DBT, are not detailed on the main homepage. Prospective clients are encouraged to connect directly with their assigned intake counselor to discuss specific treatment approaches and to confirm the session location that applies to their therapist.
Accepted insurance providers listed on the site include Wellmark BlueCross BlueShield, United Health Care, Iowa Total Care, and Amerigroup. Private pay options are available as well. The website notes that insurance acceptance varies by individual therapist within the alliance and recommends that clients confirm eligibility directly with their own insurance plan prior to scheduling. Individual clinician names and credentials are not displayed on the main homepage, with that information accessible through other sections of the site.
A Facebook page is maintained by the practice for community outreach and additional information. Contact is available through the online “Get in Touch” option on the website. A specific street address is not listed on the main page; clients are directed to confirm location details with their intake counselor at the time of scheduling. No founding year or clinician count is specified on the site.
