Are You In Need Of Marriage, Family, or Individual Counseling In The Cedar Rapids, Iowa Area?
Many people seek out therapists but only walk away disappointed. They often comment that they felt like the therapist listened, but they didn’t offer much more than that. Our clients tell us they want guidance and insight into their problems, but they want more than hand holding and a metaphorical pat on the back! Sometimes they want plain and simple practical advice and someone to tell them when they are heading in the wrong direction. Our therapists are trained to help you see deeply into your life but also offer you straight forward advice when you want it. We will do more than hold your hand and say, “I understand”. We will speak to you openly and honestly and challenge you in ways others won’t so that you leave feeling more clear and empowered to live your life and become the best possible version of yourself.
Hi! Im Brandon Wall, LMFT
I am the founder of the Cedar Rapids Counseling Center. My mission from the start has been to help as many people experience lasting change as I can. I have a strong conviction that everyone deserves to have a someone to help them process through the many issues facing people in todays world. I train all our therapists to go beyond mere listening and compassionately dive into the issues that are preventing you, your family, or your marriage from thriving.
Hi!
Just some of the areas we cover
| Anxiety | Stress |
| Depression | Family Conflict |
| PTSD | Eating Disorders |
| Marriage Counseling | Infidelity |
| Grief | Communication Skills |
| Teens | Trust Issues |
It’s never too early to start!
I had been seeing a counselor for a couple of years regarding anxiety and depression. We worked through the traditional coping mechanisms, and some cognitive behavioral therapy. In a 10 minute discussion with Brandon, he was able to dig deeper to the core issues and root causes than my previous counselor had discovered in years of talk therapy. Highly recommended.
You have really helped us, I hope you know that. I honestly think you have helped save our marriage that seemed unsalvageable at some points. I think we have set some healthy boundaries and goals for the relationship and we both hope to move forward, which was not always the case in the near past…

Tips For Mental Health
Parenting Teenage Depression: Understanding & How To Help
It is important for parents to remain calm and supportive. Panicking or overreacting can worsen the situation and make it more difficult for the teenager to seek help.
Changing The Ending Of Your Childhood Trauma Story
It’s important to recognize that healing from childhood trauma is not a linear process. It can be difficult and often involves facing difficult emotions and memories. It can be tempting to try to push these feelings aside and move on, but it’s important to confront and process them to fully heal.
Therapy As A New Year Resolution
New year, new goals! If taking care of your mental health is on your list of resolutions, consider starting therapy in the new year. It can be a great way to prioritize your well-being, work through stress, and achieve your personal goals.
