About Life Connections Mason City
In north central Iowa, Life Connections Mason City provides outpatient mental health services for children, adolescents, and adults. The center works with clients starting at 18 months old and delivers age-appropriate therapeutic support across clinics, schools, homes, and online.
The treatment team uses approaches supported by research, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, medication management, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). For children diagnosed with autism, applied behavior analysis (ABA) is available. Services are delivered by licensed therapists, counselors, and prescribers who prioritize emotional stability and ongoing progress.

For children with serious emotional disturbances (SED), the program is structured to promote safety while keeping them able to remain at home.
