Mary Blankenburg , LISW

—About

I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker practising in Iowa.

I have worked in a community mental health agency and an agency serving adolescents and their families.

—How I Work

My clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Mindfulness Therapy.

I believe a therapeutic relationship is the most powerful healing tool, and I build therapeutic alliances and connect with clients while exploring their emotional lives and histories.

I help clients develop awareness of their autonomic nervous system states in order to learn to identify cues of safety.

—Who I Help

I work with clients on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and depression.

I work with people who have symptoms of depression, anxiety, personality disorder traits, and trauma effects.
