Company History

515 Therapy & Consulting was founded by Crystal Hemesath, Ph.D., LMFT, LMHC. December of 2011, marks the beginning of our journey, together. Crystal’s guiding premise was the concept of the win/win. She believed in creating a practice where all parties benefit, from consumers, to employees, to the community. It is Crystal’s intention to create a positive, collaborative, transparent, and rewarding environment, for all.

We are located at 6600 Westown Parkway, Suite 240, West Des Moines, IA 50266. We offer in-office appointments at our West Des Moines location and virtual appointments across Iowa and select states (contact us for more details).
