Counselor Profiles
Hello, I am Daniel Earle, a native of Des Moines. I returned to the area years ago from Chicago where I attended graduate school in order to practice counseling and psychology in a community that I sincerely care about. During that time I have been focusing my priorities on my wife, three sons and daughter, and on providing outreach services and working with people in individual and relationship counseling.
For the fifteen years I have provided counseling services, I have maintained my conviction that the mind, body and spirit are integrated and uniquely important in every person’s life.
I actively use a broad spectrum of clinical therapy principles as I work with individuals, couples and families who present with a wide variety of difficulties. My clinical experience includes working with problems such as anxiety, depression, communication, stress, interpersonal conflict, marital relationships, vocation, life transitions and many other psychological and emotional issues.
I am also very active in providing outreach and educational resources for community groups and church ministries. I regularly present workshops and presentations on topics such as premarital preparation, marriage enrichment, parent skill building, blended families and career assessment.

Hello, I am Jorie Edwards, a native Midwesterner and new to the Des Moines area. I am looking forward to continuing learning about this community, which seems to offer the best of both city and small town living. My husband and I are focused on building family and connections in the area. I am also dedicated to providing counseling and outreach services, as well as working together with individuals in a therapeutic and safe setting.
I have provided counseling services for over five years. In this time, I have confirmed my strong belief that every one has unique strengths and amazing capacities to endure, learn, and grow from life's many various challenges. I also believe in order for people to continue to learn about themselves, their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions need to be explored and nurtured.
Like Dr. Earle, I also actively use a diverse assortment of clinical therapy principles in my work. My clinical experience includes working with concerns such as anxiety, career development, communication, depression, out-patient eating disorders, interpersonal conflict, life transitions, stress, trauma recovery, and many other psychological and emotional issues.
I am excited to be joining Dr. Earle in offering a wide assortment of outreach and educational resources for community members and church ministries.
