Counseling Practice – New Leaf Counseling
Established in 2011, New Leaf Counseling, PLLC, operates from 1708 5th Street, Suite 2, Coralville, Iowa. The practice is owned and operated by Annika Ross, LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker), a psychotherapist with 18 years of outpatient therapy experience across school, community mental health, and private practice settings.
Ross provides individual mental health counseling for adults and adolescents ages 13 and older, along with couples therapy. Clinical modalities stated on the site include CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Mindfulness, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Ross reports that EMDR has been part of her clinical practice for ten years. Stated specialty areas include anxiety, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma recovery.
Both in-person sessions at the Coralville office and telehealth appointments via a HIPAA-compliant secure video platform through Psychology Today are available. Ross describes her therapeutic style as a collaborative process with a direct, supportive, and non-judgmental approach, aiming to meet each client where they are.
Accepted insurance plans include Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Cigna, and Midland’s Choice. The practice does not file claims for Medicaid, Medicare, or secondary insurance. Self-pay is accepted via cash, check, or credit card processed through Ivy Pay, a HIPAA-compliant payment service.
