About Waubonsie Mental Health Center - Shenandoah
Operating from Shenandoah, Iowa, Waubonsie Mental Health Center serves people across southwest Iowa. They treat anxiety, depression, trauma, and mental illness through outpatient therapy, psychiatry, medication management, and community support services. Staff guide children, adults, and families through structured care plans that address symptoms, daily functioning, and real-life needs at every stage of care and recovery.
Behavioral Health Treatment Methods
Waubonsie Mental Health Center delivers individual and family therapy using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), play therapy, and other evidence-based methods. Therapists help clients manage symptoms, build coping skills, process traumatic experiences, and work toward personal goals. Psychiatrists monitor medications, review side effects, and adjust treatment plans when needed.
Community-Based Programs
The center does not provide residential housing. Instead, Community Support Services and Supported Community Living workers meet clients in homes and community settings to address daily living needs. Staff assist with finances, communication, employment, transportation, social involvement, and wellness goals. Peer Support Services add groups, skill-building activities, and community outings that certified peer specialists lead.
