Ambassadors welcomed new member At The Mental Health Lab today. Owner and Licensed Mental Health Counselor Lori Halvorson opened the business in January 2023 after practicing for nearly a decade at various other practices. She wanted to start a practice with less of a clinical feel in a more homey space. The house at 515 6th Ave provided a lot of potential and after remodeling the entire main floor, she was able to open the space and begin seeing clients.
Halvorson is licensed in the state of Iowa and treats ages 8 to adult in-person and through video telehealth. She is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and can treat a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, organizational and behavioral skills and more. Halvorson also works with the Poweshiek County Sherrif’s Department and CICS to provide sessions to inmates.
New clients can request an appointment online or by calling 641-990-4936. New clients will receive an evaluation at their first appointment along with an anxiety, depression and ptsd screening. Halvorson then works with each client to determine goals and a treatment plan. She is not able to offer medication management but will refer clients to their primary doctors or another provider to get them the help they need.
Halvorson is passionate about helping people and believes it’s important to find a therapist and an environment that’s a right fit.
