5th Street Mental Health Professionals

5th Street Mental Health Professionals is an Ames, Iowa mental health practice serving Central Iowa since 2004. The practice combines psychiatry and therapy with an emphasis on sustained, individualized care that reflects each person’s circumstances rather than a standardized treatment path. Its approach is informed by Adrienne Shrader’s counseling experience since 2003 with diverse and underprivileged populations, as well as her training in clinical science and mental health counseling. Shrader is licensed in mental health counseling in Iowa and certified in substance abuse counseling, supporting care for mental health concerns that may include co-occurring substance-related issues. The practice also maintains ties to the broader mental health community through involvement with NAMI and the Iowa Mental Health Counselors Association.
