We’re thrilled to announce that 515 Therapy & Consulting has been named the 2025 Metro’s Best Counseling Center by the Des Moines Register Community’s Choice Awards!  

We’re thrilled to announce that 515 Therapy & Consulting has been named the 2025 Metro’s Best Counseling Center by the Des Moines Register Community’s Choice Awards for the second year in a row!  This recognition comes from community nominations and votes—making it especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of those we serve.

What is Metro’s Best?

Metro’s Best is part of the Des Moines Register Community’s Choice Awards, where people across the metro nominate and vote for their favorite businesses and organizations.  More than 100 categories—from restaurants and salons to professional services—are featured each year.  Nominations and voting take place in the spring and summer, and winners are revealed during a special gala and published. The awards celebrate local organizations that go above and beyond, shining a light on the people and businesses that make our community special.

Thank You to Our Community

Our Commitment to You

This award is a celebration of our dedicated team and their unwavering commitment to providing compassionate, evidence‑based mental‑health services.  It also strengthens our resolve to continue:

  • Creating a safe, inclusive environment where every person feels respected and heard.
  • Investing in professional growth, ensuring our clinicians stay up‑to‑date on best practices and innovative treatments.
  • Engaging with the community, through outreach, educational talks and collaboration with local organizations.

We see this recognition as both a milestone and a promise, to maintain the highest standards of care and to keep listening to what our community needs.  We look forward to continuing to serve Des Moines and beyond, helping individuals and families live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
