Medicare-covered talk therapy for adults 65 and older across greater Des Moines, by video or phone from the comfort of home.
Brightrise provides compassionate, Medicare-covered mental health care to older adults across the Des Moines metro — including West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Johnston, Altoona, and the surrounding communities. Our therapists specialize in later life, and every session is by video or phone, so you can be seen right from home.
Des Moines is Iowa’s largest community, with its biggest population of older adults — and even here, getting to appointments can be hard when you’ve stopped driving, live with chronic pain, or care for someone who can’t be left alone. Brightrise comes to you: no traffic, no parking, no waiting room.
Grief and loss, depression, anxiety, adjusting to a new diagnosis or a hospital stay, loneliness, sleep problems, and caregiver strain. Care is built specifically for older adults, not adapted from a general practice.
We serve older adults across the whole state by video and phone. If you’re outside the metro, see our Iowa therapy page.
No driving, no waiting rooms, no complicated forms. If you can answer the phone, you can get care.
