“Self-awareness is the gateway to transformation; it doesn’t guarantee it, but you can’t get there without it.” –Rob Reimer

Transformation is an intentional process that requires courageous exploration of one’s beliefs, emotions, behaviors, and family and cultural backgrounds. I use a holistic, relationship-centered, and strengths-based approach to help people find paths to healing and discover life-giving ways of being with themselves, loved ones, and the world. This integrated approach includes cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, internal family systems therapy, emotion focused therapy, and object relations family therapy.

For more than two decades, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in couples therapy, helping partners identify their contribution to relationship patterns and gain new skills to improve communication, intimacy, and relationship satisfaction. As an immigrant and a woman from a collectivist culture, I am acutely aware of the challenges and privileges of living in this place and time. It would be my honor to walk beside you as you do the hard work of healing, growing, and transforming.

Our brains and bodies are constantly adapting in life – these adaptations can feel overwhelming. I will greet you with compassion and curiosity so we can process and explore what you walk into my office with.

My work is centered around adults, ages 18 and up, coming in with a variety of concerns. I use neuroscience-informed, relational, person-centered, and trauma-focused approaches. I appreciate the wide range of modalities the therapy world has to offer, so I will collaborate with you to adjust techniques to fit you best. No two therapeutic journeys are the same, so why should all therapy sessions be?

I identify as a cis-gendered, heterosexual woman, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I want every one of my clients to feel safe in my presence as their therapist; this is the number one most important thing to me as a clinician.

When I’m not in the office, I’m exploring what’s around me. Singing in my Minneapolis-based choir, Nordic skiing, and watching quite a few MN sports games in my downtime!

I’m here to support you, working to broaden perspectives and highlight strengths as a means of making positive and lasting change. I use a reflective, solution-focused lens in therapy to explore challenges and join you in working toward your goals. I believe gaining insight into the connections among thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and environments is an essential tool for making change. I’m excited to be along for the ride with you!

I work with adults 18+ and utilize therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Inferenced-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT), and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET).

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going to concerts, cooking new recipes, and getting all the cabin time I can get!

As Rumi says, “This being human is a guest house…” for joy, depression, awareness, meanness, shame as well as the peace or the chaos they can bring into our lives. They come as guides and often don’t leave us until they teach us what we need to learn. Learning to meet and face these guests head-on can require compassion, non-judgmental guidance, patience, support and to know that you are not alone in this human experience. I believe that everyone deserves a safe place to discover who they are. A place to be honest and to be vulnerable without fear or judgment. I bring to individuals, couples, and families a therapeutic approach centered on exploration, healing, empathy, respect, and an honest, non-judgmental environment. I select therapeutic modalities which meet each client’s specific needs. These modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which allow me to address issues such as depression, grief, boundaries and toxic relationships, family conflicts, race/diversity/inclusion, motivation, self-esteem, management of anxiety, emotion processing, social pressures and any other struggle which prevents you from reaching your goals. I believe in the power of teamwork, and I’m committed to working with you to set meaningful goals and to achieve desired outcomes.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, music, singing, drawing, traveling, sci-fi/fantasy, and anime.

Asking for help can feel like a daunting task. Maybe something specific brought you to this page—a big life decision, grief, excessive worry, or low mood. Or maybe it’s that dreaded feeling of being “stuck.” No matter what it is, you don’t have to walk that path alone. Asking for help is a beautiful form of vulnerability— the birthplace of love, joy, trust, intimacy, and courage. 

I’m here to help. And that means that the “one size fits all” approach probably won’t cut it. I’ll do my best to integrate treatment approaches that best suit your needs as an individual. Whether it’s working with you to challenge core beliefs, identify strengths and resources, or build a coping skills toolkit— I want to ensure that you’re making progress toward your goals. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which the therapist and client work together to cultivate change. 

I’m very passionate about working with both young adults and adults with a variety of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and trauma. I believe that clients should feel safe, heard, and supported throughout the therapy process. My goal is to create a non-judgmental space where clients feel open to sharing their authentic self.

Are you wanting to dig deeper into your thought patterns and behaviors? Do you want to gain a better understanding of your relationship with yourself or others? For almost a decade now I have worked with individuals and couples and have held space for those who come into my office to explore themselves and their relationships and to learn how to create change.

I use a strengths based, narrative and relationship centered approach to help people tell their story and find significant ways to heal and grow with themselves and others. I have expertise in working with adoptees and am adoption certified. I also am a certified MNGI therapist and am trained in GI based hypnotherapy. In my work, I utilize Narrative, Collaborative and Emotion Focused modalities. People I work with come in with a variety of concerns from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, life transitions, career oriented concerns and grief.

We all have a purpose in life, along with gifts and abilities to fulfill that purpose. My goal is to help you achieve your purpose by walking alongside you as you go through difficult times. I believe that relationships are the key to change. Healthy relationships with ourselves and others not only empower us to overcome the pain and hardships of life, but also promote personal growth. I will provide a safe and trusting environment where you can experience the power of healthy relationships and discover ways to build and maintain them for change and transformation.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I have a heart for underserved people, including racial and ethnic minority groups, international adoptees, immigrants, and anyone who has not had an opportunity to be understood. I have done various outpatient and in-home work with children, adults, and families, and have been a community educator providing psychoeducation and mental health-related workshops such as Emotion Coaching. I provide individual, couple, and family therapy using approaches in TEAM-CBT, DBT, EMDR, Gottman Couples Therapy, mindfulness, and strength-based therapy. I also provide premarital counseling using Prepare/Enrich.

My approach is rooted in noticing, supporting, and celebrating the “wins,” helping my clients adjust thoughts and behaviors focusing on their unique lived experiences. I enjoy supporting my clients through their stories and identifying where small shifts can make a big impact. Taking a person centered, strength based, trauma informed approach, which emphasizes looking at the whole individual, allows me to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients.

I have worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds who struggle with various symptoms including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ – related, gender or identity related, family relationships, substance abuse, and school-related stress. I work with adolescents and adults of all ages, across all cultures, and identities.

I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents with autism, developmental disabilities, and social- emotional or behavioral difficulties.  As an educator turned therapist, I previously enjoyed working as a Special Education teacher and direct support professional for both children and adults experiencing a range of diagnoses and mental health symptoms. It is an honor to continue to support our community in my therapy work.

I am currently accepting new clients and offer both in-person or telehealth appointments, though I prefer in person if you are up for it. Contact me to get the help you need.

I’m dedicated to providing a safe therapeutic space for all my clients to engage in exploration and self-discovery. My goal is to help you develop a secure sense of self through use of collaborative, interpersonal, process-oriented, and emotion-centered approaches. I’m trained in applying a systemic approach to therapy, meaning that I am considerate of how cultural context, family relationships, and environmental factors impact someone’s emotional well-being.

I resonate with the philosophies found in Narrative, Internal Family Systems (a.k.a Parts-Work), Gestalt, and Adlerian therapy styles because they emphasize leaning on curiosity, empowerment, compassion, and grounded presence to experience relief. I believe that by processing emotions we can uncover the important messages hidden within them; which is key in learning to trust our intuition and build confidence in expressing our needs. I also enjoy integrating mind-body exercises into my work to help you further understand how your nervous system responds to an emotion and to achieve a grounded connection with your body.

Common themes of focus I work with include attachment/relationship stressors and traumas, religious/spiritual trauma or deconstruction, grief and ambiguous loss, pregnancy/fertility, gender and sexuality, life transitions, and complex family dynamics. I also have experience helping those with anxiety disorders, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, post-partum depression, chronic illness, and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

In Couples therapy, my goal is to assist you in improving your connection with your partner by providing the space for you to process emotions together and improve your abilities to validate each other’s experiences. I apply an attachment-informed lens to couples therapy, meaning that I will assist you in identifying, understanding, and responding to the attachment needs present in your relationship. I have worked with couples across a variety of relationship types/stages. I also have experience working with couples practicing ethical non-monogamy and polyamory.

Let’s be honest, looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming at times. Personally, my main interest is to provide a safe space to allow you the time and ability to express yourself in whatever ways you need. I would be honored to sit with you though whatever life has thrown your way, whether that be anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, family or relationship issues, life transitions, gender and identity discovery, chronic pain or illness and everything in between. Whether your transitions look like moving from middle school to high school, career changes as an adult, or grieving any type of loss, using strength based and person-centered modalities work well in achieving your goals and making a positive impact on your life. Using art and creative expression can be a powerful way to promote insight and self-awareness while reducing and resolving conflicts and distress. I can’t wait open my space for you!

In my free time, I enjoy cooking/eating delicious food, jamming out to music in my car, beating my friends at board games and cuddling with my rescue pitbull named Blu Barry!

Welcome! I recognize the courage that it takes to seek out support of any kind. My desire is to honor that bravery by creating an empathetic, authentic, individualized experience for you to begin your process of healing. I strongly believe that we were not created to face life’s difficulties alone. I feel honored and humbled to have the opportunity to walk alongside you in your journey. I have experience working with adults ages 18 and older working through depression, anxiety, trauma, and panic disorder. I also have a unique passion for working with athletes. In sessions, I utilize several evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I desire to collaborate with you to develop coping skills, work through unhelpful thoughts, and uncover the values that bring meaning to your life. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing board games or card games, playing in volleyball leagues, and spending time with friends and family.

Welcome! If you’re feeling nervous as you’re thinking about starting this therapy journey, please know that this is a typical and expected experience. I am excited to meet you and work at a pace comfortable for you.

In my therapy office, you can expect me to be an empathic listener who is genuinely interested in your life. I find it important to provide you with psychoeducation, giving you the tools and empowerment to make sense of your own experiences. You can also expect me to help you build emotional and somatic awareness. I believe we must identify and name our emotions in order to respond in the most helpful way. I take a person-centered approach, meeting you where you’re at. Additionally, I draw from theories such as psychodynamic, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

I have experience working with adolescents and adults, including individuals, couples, and families. My passion areas include mental health challenges such as trauma, anxiety, family issues, and maladaptive coping mechanisms (examples: substance use, risky behaviors, avoidance/procrastination).

When not in the office, I enjoy going for walks outside, socializing with friends, sipping on a cup of coffee, and hanging out with my pet cat.

Whether it be exploring how past experiences have shaped us, focusing on ways to cope with present day stressors, or a mix of both, I’m excited to walk alongside you on your journey.

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do” – Brene Brown

No matter what stage you may be at within the therapeutic process, it is my mission to provide you with a safe and accepting atmosphere where you feel free to be your most authentic self. I desire to ensure that every person I serve recognizes their inherent worth and dignity. My theoretical approach combines existential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and person-centered therapy. I will guide you towards recognizing and honoring your authenticity, empowering you to be the agent of change in your life, and helping you realize that you have the power to shape your mind to create the most fulfilling life possible for yourself. I work with individuals in their teens to adulthood who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADD/ADHD, familial struggles, struggles with self-confidence, and transitional difficulties. When you are working with me, I want you to feel respected, valued, and understood, as I believe that this is when true therapy occurs. In my free time, I enjoy reading, going on walks, binging TV shows, or hanging out with my cat, Frankie. I look forward to working with you!

Throughout my career in mental health, I have had the pleasure of working with youth, adolescents, and families in a variety of settings including community mental health, schools, and clinics. I know how hard reaching out for help can be. I also know that mental health issues do not discriminate.

We all go through struggles and hard times in our lives. While knowing this to be true, every individual’s experience is 100% unique to them. I believe we all have the ability to heal; the human spirit is incredibly resilient. Sometimes, you may need help to develop tools to cope and make change.

Through my work as a therapist, I have seen that change and feeling better is possible. Therapy provides a place to reflect, heal, and grow. The core of my approach to therapy is empathy and authenticity. I also find that sprinkling in humor is valuable, because sometimes you just have to laugh. When not working I enjoy spending time with family and friends, attending kids’ sporting events, listening to music and reading.

Reaching out for help in the midst of life challenges can often feel intimidating, overwhelming, and frightening at times. Taking this step of reaching out for support is a courageous and important step in working towards compassionate well-being. From difficulties getting out of bed, feeling stuck or lost, struggling with non-stop thoughts, difficulties sleeping, eating concerns, identity discovery, self-harm to suicidal ideation, there is a safe space for you to feel what you feel, explore where you are at, and be supported in your goals on your journey. In our work together, I value creating a safe space for adolescents, adults, and families to compassionately approach whatever they may be experiencing. Change often takes time, kindness, and care and I would be honored to walk with you, your teen, or your family as we work together to develop a deeper understanding of who you are and what it looks like for you to thrive. In our work together, we will identify helpful skills, tools, and insights to encourage growth, positive connection, communication, self-compassion, and acceptance in a way that honors your own unique background and self. Life is hard and it often throws new challenges and having compassionate support can help make a positive difference. I look forward to connecting with you, your teen, or your family as we work together towards compassionate well-being.

Do you feel hurt, stressed, or stuck in your life and/or relationships? Do you struggle with your own mental health or struggle to support someone who has difficulties with their mental health? I am here to listen and provide a safe space for you to talk things out. I am here to provide empathy, hope, encouragement, perspective, support, and strength. I want to help you heal, feel more fulfilled in your life and relationships, and become more successful; I want to help you live your life well. I take a client-centered approach when I provide therapy. I collaborate with clients to help them identify their strengths, resources, and opportunities for growth and healing. I want to help clients integrate the mind, body and soul in a journey toward personal wholeness. I use family systems theory to guide my work, which helps me to recognize patterns and understand how people relate to each other and society. I provide trauma-informed therapy utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I work with adults who need support for ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, grief, family systems issues, LGBTQIA community issues, life transitions, relationship issues, and/or trauma. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I like fine art, art history, photography, and to travel. I enjoy reading, listening to audio books and podcasts, and watching a wide range of movies and television shows. Please reach out to me if I can be of support to you.

Let’s start this journey together. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Career Counselor. I work with clients 18+ who are struggling with anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, executive functioning, work stress, and life transitions.
As a holistic thinker, I prefer to use skills from many different philosophies and theories, including Adlerian Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Applied-Behavioral Analysis, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I believe that a deeper sense of self-awareness is crucial to facilitate change and create positive and useful thoughts, behaviors, and habits to implement in everyday life. I view therapy as collaborative effort between the client and therapist and it would be a privilege to be invited to join you on your journey.
I have interest in working with people of all abilities, and have a particular interest working with adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, golfing, spending time outdoors, and watching movies.

I am a compassionate therapist specializing in the treatment of co-occurring disorders and recovery in community-based settings. With a strong foundation in substance use treatment and mental health, I strive to build resilience, achieve stability, and foster wellness with clients. My clinical interests include utilizing CBT, DBT, and Solution – Focused modalities, with an overarching holistic lens. I love to explore, hike, try to new foods, and watch sci-fi movies with my family.

Welcome and I’m so proud of you for making it this far! Therapy can be intimidating, so I am here to support you and walk with you on your journey. My philosophy is that you are the expert in your own experiences and I am just along to help guide you as you need.

I specialize in working with children, aged 6 through 18, and adults facing diverse challenges. I have a specialty in working with individuals facing life transitions, OCD, grief/loss, perinatal/postpartum, confidence building, trauma, and social skills building. In sessions, my goal is to create a safe and comfortable place for you to be your authentic self and to listen and understand you as you tell your story. I take a client-centered and strength-based approach and specialize in using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Solution Focused Therapy.

Personally, I enjoy spending time with my animals, family, and friends. I play the flute in community bands in the area and I enjoy crafting and being outside when the weather is nice.

I am drawn to supporting people experiencing unexpected transitions. The only constant in life is change. Therapy can help process emotions and experiences, past and present, that will shape the future. I have extensive experience working with grief and loss, chronic illness, and preparing for end of life. I will gladly work with individuals, couples, and families facing challenges that impact the family system.

The more experienced I become, the more I’ve learned that we need support in many areas of our lives to make lasting changes in routine and mood. I believe clients need support systems, healthier self-care activities, and social outlets to thrive. I use Experiential Therapy techniques, Solution-Focused methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help make usable shifts in behaviors and thoughts.

I wholeheartedly believe that everyone has a story that deserves to be heard and validated. Therapy is a space where you can be unapologetically yourself and have another human sit with you as you share your pain and suffering. I believe you are the expert of your situation and yourself and you have the answers you are looking for, you just need a safe, judgment-free, and caring space to explore those possibilities. My goal as a therapist is to help guide you with compassion and empathy as you explore your experiences, emotions, view of self, and relationships with others.

I primarily work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, life transitions, and trauma. I use a person-centered approach that includes aspects of CBT, relational, emotion-focused, and trauma informed therapy. I am dedicated to using an individualized approach, tailoring treatment to fit my clients, their lifestyle, and individual needs.

I received my Masters degree from the University of St. Thomas in Counseling Psychology and I am licensed professional clinical counselor.

When I’m not at work, I love reading, cooking, spending time with my loved ones, trying new restaurants or coffee shops, and doing yoga!

“Follow your heart but take your brain with you” -Alfred Adler

Hello there! My name is Aubrey and I believe that seeking mental health services takes self-knowledge and courage. It can be an invaluable experience to connect with someone who is interested in learning about what makes you who you are, in a space that we co-create. I look forward to connecting with you about your beliefs and supporting you as a strengths-based intersectional ally. I am passionate about working with people from all backgrounds, including folks who are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and/or experiencing life transitions. You can count on me to show up for you as a source of constructive support while you navigate life’s plentiful ups and downs. Together we can explore what brings you into this space and what you envision for your life’s path going forward. I’d be honored to collaborate with you as we build toward your goals in mental and behavioral health.

Hi, I’m Bailey! I am a licensed independent social worker and certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and respect for your individuality. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, find inner strength, and achieve emotional well-being. My primary goal is to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I believe in the power of therapy as a collaborative journey, where we work together to explore your unique experiences, identify patterns, and develop strategies for positive change.

I have worked with clients facing various concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, self-esteem struggles, grief and loss, and personal growth. Whether you’re experiencing difficulties in your personal life, facing challenges in your relationships, or seeking personal development, I am here to help.

I strive to create a compassionate and authentic space where clients can explore their vulnerabilities, strengths, and deepest longings. It is my privilege to be a fierce advocate, cheerleader, and loving witness for folks as they navigate their paths to healing, self-discovery, and transformation.

My work centers on people who are seeking stronger connection to themselves, others, and the world around them. Many of my clients identify as highly sensitive, insightful, or neurodivergent, and they often come to therapy looking for support with a challenging life transition, feelings of worry, loneliness, or disconnection, or a desire for greater meaning and purpose in their lives.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families to find peace and vitality in their relationships with themselves and others. I combine traditional talk therapy and experiential, embodied practices to support clients to navigate the complexities of relationship challenges, grief and loss, and difficult life passages. I specialize in relationships, recovering from trauma, and psychospiritual work.

I integrate a diverse set of modalities and philosophical influences in my practice, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP), Anchored Relational Therapy, and Feminist & Queer Theory. I have experience providing equine-assisted psychotherapy and nature-based psychotherapy and firmly believe that connection with animals and nature supports our wellbeing.

My professional journey has been informed by both personal experience and a deep commitment to mission-driven work. I began my career in social services, first as a family advocate in a domestic violence shelter, then as a legal services coordinator connecting folks experiencing family violence with volunteer attorneys. As a therapist, I’ve worked in a variety of settings including group private practice, nonprofit community mental health clinics, and in an intensive outpatient DBT program where I co-founded a Queer DBT program for folks from the LGBTQIA community. As a white, queer, cisgender woman I am aware of how the field of psychotherapy has historically not been a place of belonging for queer individuals, people of color, neurodivergent folks, and those from lower-income backgrounds. I am committed to making therapy more accessible, inclusive, and affirming.

I am a parent, a partner, a horse-lover, a Jane Austen groupie, a fantasy fiction fanatic. I love hiking, paddling, and quality time with my family and friends.

Hi! I’m glad you’re here. Life brings a lot of ups and downs, and through it all, it takes courage to invest in your journey. Therapy is a space for honesty, growth, and healing. I provide a person-centered approach and a space for you to be yourself without judgment. I trust that you are the best expert on your own life, with the resilience and capacity for meaningful change.

I will tailor my modality approach to fit your individual needs, but I enjoy working with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma Informed, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I seek to support you towards a life filled with greater psychological flexibility and values that are important to you. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your unique experiences.

Outside of therapy, you’ll often find me with a cup of coffee, a great audiobook, or enjoying nature. I believe healing can be both challenging and hopeful, and I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

Whether you’ve been in therapy for years or this is a new experience for you, welcome! I seek to build a safe and open environment through earning your trust. I approach therapy from a lens of curiosity and strongly believe that healing and change happens through supportive relationships, including your relationship with yourself. I also recognize how our social environment and the identities we hold play a major role in both the challenges we face and our strengths.

As a queer, transgender person, I am familiar with the ways that LGBTQIA+ identities can impact how we navigate the world, including relationships, mental health, family, and medical care. I am also familiar with the joy and connection that can come from being a member of this community. Because of this, I am particularly interested in working with transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse people seeking to move toward more acceptance, community, and self-love.

While I work with a variety of concerns, my focus areas are Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, and phobias. I am trained in and provide Exposure and Response Prevention for treatment of OCD, and utilize this with the goal of helping you to build trust in yourself and reclaim your life.

Therapy can be intimidating. I am passionate about walking with you through your journey, as asking for help takes tremendous strength. I am passionate about helping others live a fulfilling, authentic life and accomplish their goals. My approach to therapy is person-centered, collaborative, trauma informed, strength based, and adaptive to every client. I believe that you are the expert in your life. I understand how difficult it can be to find LGBTQIA+ affirming mental health treatment. I provide a safe, affirming, non-judgmental environment rooted in authenticity, trust, and transparency to help you reach your goals. I work with individuals 12+ experiencing Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, gender and sexual identity issues, and severe mental illness.

In my free time I enjoy playing guitar and being outdoors.

I believe that therapy is an investment you can make in yourself, your growth, and your future. I’m glad you’re here and open to that investment. With over 10 years of experience in the mental health and addiction field, I provide a compassionate and down-to-earth space for clients to explore life’s challenges and move toward lasting personal growth.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I hold a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Augsburg University and a Masters in Integrated and Behavioral Health from the University of Minnesota. Whether you’re looking to overcome something painful or simply gain greater clarity and purpose, I tailor our work to fit your goals and your story.

Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, playing sports, and discovering new foods. These personal joys remind me of the importance of balance, connection, and living fully—values I bring into my work with clients as well.

If you’re ready to take the next step, or even just curious about how therapy might help, I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Sometimes, showing up is the most powerful first step.

Starting (or restarting!) therapy can bring up a range of thoughts and feelings. My therapeutic approach is to understand current patterns by exploring patterns that may have existed throughout the lifetime, and promoting manageable change. I have experience working with individuals with substance use concerns, survivors of sexual violence, ADHD and learning disorder assessment. I have specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for anxiety disorders and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for post-traumatic stress disorder. Wherever you are in your therapy journey, I hope to provide a balance of support and progress through our work together.

“Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.” – Napoleon Hill

If you have been questioning whether now is the right time to start therapy or whether or not therapy is for you. Take the leap. You deserve to find what is waiting for you.

I take an individualized therapeutic approach when working with each client. When working with children, I utilize play therapy and their inner creativity to help foster healthy ways of expressing and processing difficult emotions that arise in tiny humans. I use a person-centered approach to therapy, informed by CBT, trauma-informed therapy, DBT, solution-focused brief therapy, internal family systems therapy, and motivational interviewing. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, substance use, life transitions, trauma, and relationship difficulties. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey to whole human healing.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, taking trips to visit our family and friends, and going on walks with my Toy Australian Shepherd. I also enjoy watching reality TV, cheering on the Minnesota Twins, and a good cup of coffee.

Hi! Welcome, I am so glad you are taking the time to take care of yourself. Life is hard, chaotic, exhausting, and beautiful. Taking time for yourself to debrief and work through life is a brave and wonderful step. My name is Brittany. I received my undergrad in Social Work from St. Cloud State University and my master’s from the University of North Dakota. I have worked mainly with children and adolescents, but love working with all populations. I have experience in children’s mental health, co-occurring disorders, residential treatment facilities for adolescents, and children with special needs.

In our time together, I want you to feel heard, and not judged but comfortable in expressing what you are feeling or going through. I strive to be continuously learning and growing as a therapist and becoming the best version of myself so I can help you become your best version of yourself!

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family especially my nieces and nephews. I love traveling and seeing new parts of the world.

I look forward to working together. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have! Congratulations on taking the next step in your life adventure.

Hi, I’m so happy you’re here! I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real, honest connection. My approach is warm, laid-back, and collaborative. In our work together, my goal is to support you in exploring what your best life looks like. I draw from person-centered therapy and incorporate tools from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), depending on your needs.

I work with adults navigating a range of mental health concerns, and I have a special interest in supporting folks who live with chronic pain or illness, athletes, and exploring women’s issues.

Outside of the therapy space, I enjoy reading, going on walks, and spending time with my family and friends. If you are looking for a space that’s inclusive, supportive, relaxed, and intentional, I’d be happy to support you on your wellness journey!

Welcome! Starting therapy takes vulnerability, and I’m glad you’re here. I strive to provide a safe and inclusive space for everyone. I am a therapist who is supportive and accommodating of individuals with neurodiverse backgrounds. I utilize a comprehensive therapy approach drawing from a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and dog, getting outside, and my hobbies of movies, video games, and drawing.

There are many challenges and complications in life. Sometimes the support of friends and family is enough to help us through these moments. Other times, more support and guidance is needed. I am so glad you have found us here at CARE, open to having us support you in your journey!

My approach to therapy is an integration of Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) with a Multicultural lens. Some people do better with more structured sessions while others thrive on more flexibility. I feel that these two approaches allow me to tailor sessions to the unique needs of each client, based on your circumstances and preferences. You know yourself best and I aim to create a collaborative environment where we can discover your path to healing together. My goal in therapy is to help you build tools and find resources that will help you process and overcome challenges, both what you are facing now and what you may face in the future.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing various concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and difficulties with life transitions. Additionally, my previous experience includes working with adolescents on the autism spectrum with various racial and ethnic identities. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, doing yoga, reading, painting, and hanging out with my dog.

Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me and my approach to therapy. Let me know if you have any additional questions for me!

I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, seen, and empowered. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I specialize in working with individuals 18 and older who are facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, substance use, and identity exploration. I especially enjoy supporting BIPOC clients and those navigating cultural, relational, or intergenerational stress. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your goals. I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed care to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and in control of your narrative. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about walking alongside you as you uncover strength, self-awareness, and tools that actually work in your real life. You get to be the expert in your own story, and I’m here to support your growth at your own pace.

Outside the therapy room, I love traveling, discovering new hobbies, and diving into conversations that make you think or laugh (or both). I’m also a gym-goer who’s currently training for a 5K. If you’re ready to explore, heal, or simply have someone walk with you through the messy middle, I’d be honored to connect.

“Therapy is a gift. It is a chance to finally be heard, understood and supported”

-Bessel van der Kolk

This quote speaks to what I believe is the essence of therapy.  I strive to create a safe space  that allows for  one to be themselves without judgement.  People describe me to be down to earth and feel understood.

My passion is working with people who have experienced trauma and adverse experiences in their lives.  I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In addition, I have training in art-based interventions and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (level 1).   I also have experience working with people who are experiencing depression and anxiety.  I work with people age 13 and above.

I have been a therapist for over 25 years.  I received a Master of Arts degree from the University of Minnesota- Duluth.  In 1997, I became licensed as a Master level psychologist.

When bad days start to feel like bad weeks, know that you are not alone. I am here to help you move through emotions and experiences without getting “stuck” in repetitive cycles that are keeping you from being fully present from living your best life.

If you are struggling with maintaining routines or are finding that your routines have become too rigid, we can find ways to increase motivation for behavioral change, adjust to transitions, regulate emotions, and increase psychological flexibility through engaging in mindful action that aligns with your values.

If fear is getting in the way of living your authentic life, let’s create a plan to help practice skills that are needed and gain confidence to tackle the goals you have envisioned for yourself. By providing a safe environment built on trust, you can be yourself without judgment. Shame and stigma are very real and things you may want to process.

Some of the areas that I enjoy working with include obsessions and compulsions, autism spectrum, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, social anxiety, parenting, and personal development. I work with children (ages 5+), adolescents, and adults for individual and family therapy. I enjoy a collaborative style while being flexible and utilizing evidence-based and creative approaches that are tailored to you/ your child’s needs.

I tend to take a more directive approach while providing support, encouragement, and motivation to work toward behavioral change. Specific modalities that I have been trained in include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-focused CBT (ages 6-17), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response/ Ritual Prevention for OCD.

I am a Certified EX/RP Provider in Exposure and Response Ritual Prevention by the Center for the Study and Treatment of Anxiety/ University of Pennsylvania and have an Autism Direct Support Certification through the Autism Society of Minnesota. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Board Approved Supervisor.

Welcome to your healing journey! No one can navigate life completely alone, and that’s how I see myself helping you – as your support person to finding a way to live life instead of just pushing through. With all of our daily stress it can be tough to take time for yourself in order to reflect, overcome tough times, and grow, so I see therapy as your time to achieve this and invest in yourself. My vision of the therapeutic relationship is one of trust and unconditional support. I value your views on what you would like to accomplish throughout therapy and try to create goals together that aim to address your needs. Your voice is what matters, and I aim to listen and coach to the ability/level that you feel comfortable with.

I tend to primarily operate from a mode of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), so looking at how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact with one another, and exploring how your core beliefs influence your mental health/wellbeing. I can also incorporate additional therapy methods, as needed, to meet your needs. I work with a variety of presenting issues including trauma, grief/loss, major life events/adjustments, depressive and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and substance use concerns. I have worked in a variety of different settings, including residential treatment, day treatment, and crisis services, so am able to navigate challenges as they occur, and truly believe in engaging with each client in a holistic approach. I am also fully licensed through the Board of Behavioral Health & Therapy in MN as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), so have completed all training after my Master’s Degree.

I was born and raised in Minnesota and have enjoyed growing up in the Midwest.  Animals have always played an important role in my life. I have a deep appreciation for pets and the special bond between people and their pets – truly an important relationship to treasure.

It is tough to trust another human being with your deepest struggles, so please know that I recognize this, and value your desire to let me into your life/space. Please feel free to reach out for an intake if you feel like I might be a good fit for you!

Hello and welcome—I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Chyenne (she/her), and I believe that even when life feels overwhelming, there can still be opportunities for growth, healing, and moments of joy. As a therapist, I take a client-centered approach because I believe you are the expert on your own life and experiences. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support and tools as we navigate life's challenges together. Creating a comfortable, healing, and nonjudgmental space is at the heart of my work. I strive to meet each person with empathy, authenticity, and compassion so that you can feel safe being yourself and exploring what matters most to you.

I am passionate about helping individuals work through relationship concerns, personal growth, emotional expression, and trauma. I also have a special interest in supporting Asian American, Pacific Islander (AAPI), and other people of color (POC) as they explore bicultural identity, cultural expectations, family dynamics, belonging, and the unique experiences of navigating multiple cultural worlds. I am committed to providing culturally responsive care that honors your identity and background.

In addition to my clinical work, I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Psychology (PsyD), which continues to deepen my understanding of evidence-based practices and the many ways people grow, heal, and thrive. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Hey there! I am glad you are here, and am proud of you for taking the first steps to becoming the best version of yourself. Life can be challenging at times and therapy is a great tool to navigate it. I believe that when it comes to therapy, the client is the expert. Nobody knows your life circumstances better than yourself, and my job is to help you succeed. I hope that I can be used as a tool and stepping stone to help you accomplish your goals, understand yourself, and reach your fullest potential. I love working with children and young adults in a wide range of areas including depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and family trauma. I enjoy incorporating DBT, CBT, and Mindfulness based practice into therapy. You can always count on me to be supportive, empathetic, and encouraging as you make strides in your personal growth journey!

I completed my Bachelors at The University of St. Thomas with a degree in Psychology and Family Studies. I am currently in my last year of graduate school at St. Thomas, working on a Masters in Clinical Counseling.

In my free time I love to volunteer with my Golden Retriever as we are a registered Therapy Animal Team! I also enjoy being in nature, whether it be going on long hikes, snowboarding or biking!

Rest can be hard to come by, especially when it is your soul that is tired. I aim to walk with you and be a guide to your healing. I promise to foster a non-judgmental and healing environment to support you with whatever you are experiencing, while teaching and helping you build the tools you need. I focus on your story with a lens centered around evidence-based practices, informed by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). It is not just your challenges I want to hear about, I also want to hear about your successes – your whole self at your pace. We will work together to find peace in your life and grow toward who you want to be. I am honored to be entrusted with your story, and I will hold the space and listen to you. I am passionate about finding inner peace and healing, and I would love to walk your journey with you.

As a fellow human who has been in therapy herself, I know how scary it can be to seek help, and I’m so proud of you for taking the first step in doing so. We all have our own unique story and life experiences, and my goal as your therapist is walk alongside of you as you navigate through this current season in life, providing you with a safe and secure place to feel seen and heard, without judgement, as you begin the healing process.

I currently work with individuals and couples (18+) experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, trauma, and difficulty with life transitions. I also work with victims and survivors of domestic violence. I use a client-centered and strengths-based approach informed by CBT, DBT, internal family systems, motivational interviewing, and systems theory.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my son, getting together with friends, practicing Jiu-Jitsu, and reading.

Hi, I’m Corissa Hedrick. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Counseling at Bethel University. I’m dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients from all backgrounds feel respected, heard, and empowered. My approach is flexible and collaborative, drawing from a range of therapeutic methods to meet each person’s unique needs and goals.

As part of my training, I completed an internship at a trauma day center for adolescents, where I gained hands-on experience supporting individuals through complex emotional challenges. This opportunity helped shape my understanding of how trust, consistency, and compassion play vital roles in the healing process. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with clients and walking alongside them as they navigate growth and change.

Outside of counseling, I find inspiration and relaxation through reading and cooking. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey.

Hi, I’m Corrie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience working with kids, adults, couples, and families. My approach to therapy is relational, trauma-informed, and tailored to meet each person’s unique needs. I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

At the heart of my work is a belief that healing happens through connection, safety, and a sense of belonging. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. I’m especially passionate about working with women (perimenopausal/menopausal), highly sensitive people (HSPs), and those navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship challenges. In addition to therapy, I provide clinical supervision and love supporting other clinicians through a reflective, strengths-based lens.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and our three beloved dogs. I love reading, thrifting, and hunting for vintage finds that tell a story. I’m deeply committed to social justice, empathy, and the power of caring for one another—values that guide both my personal and professional life. I look forward to working with you!

I believe wildly in the power of empathic communication and being present with someone as your true, authentic self. I strive to offer this in the therapeutic space, and have been so honored to witness how this allows people to show up in this way outside of therapy for themselves and others.

I work from a client-centered approach, informed by humanistic, interpersonal, feminist, social justice, and trauma informed theories. This means that I work to create a space where you are in charge of your story and your healing and where all the beautiful, messy parts of you are allowed to be present and seek peace. I highly value the therapeutic relationship and my first goal, always, is in creating connection and safety. I work with adults who come in with a wide variety of experiences, though I work particularly well with people who want to gain a deep, compassionate understanding of themselves. I have specialized training and experience with people moving through grief and with people who identify within the Queer community, particularly gender diversity. As a Queer woman, I know the power of being seen for your full self and love to help people explore this part of themselves, seek confidence within it, and share their beauty with the world! When caring for myself you will find me reverently in nature or lost in a book.

I will walk side by side with you through your struggles and offer empathy and compassion.  I thoroughly enjoy getting to know my clients and hope to become that unbiased sounding board you need in your life.  Common issues I address are living with a chronic illness, coping with grief/loss, feelings of anxiety, depressed mood, and difficult life adjustments. I can talk with you about different calming strategies when dealing with stress and how to work through those racing thoughts you may be having.  I come from a strengths-based perspective and strive to build an inclusive environment in our shared therapy space.  I offer knowledge in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  I work with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I have had the privilege of working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, including individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, and I will ensure my door is always open to people of all backgrounds.

 

I have years of experience in the mental health field, working with a wide range of ages including adults, adolescents, and children. I have worked as a mental health case manager, employment specialist, community development manager, and as a school social worker.  Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, walking through nature, playing video games/ board games, and mornings in my backyard with a cup of coffee. If you have any questions about working with me, please feel free to reach out. 


I am excited to hear about your life’s journey and hope to work with you in the future. I know seeking help is never easy but you’re in the right place and there has never been a better time than now!

Exploring the possibility for change in your life is a journey you are worth taking. Change can be difficult (and sometimes scary!) and I’m here to support you through this process. I’m a person-centered therapist who utilizes CBT-based approaches, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, DBT and mindfulness practices. What needs to change and how? I believe you have the answers. Let’s find them.

Within this space, connection, authenticity, and openness will be the focus of our therapeutic experience together. My aim in our sessions is to cultivate a secure and non-judgmental environment where you feel empowered to express yourself freely. My commitment to you is to make sure that you are truly heard, understood, and approached with warmth and compassion. Together, we will dive into your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without reservation or fear of critique. Whether you’re facing challenges or celebrating victories, I’m here to listen and support you every step of the way. I would be honored to meet you where you are, and from there we can move at a comfortable pace.


My therapeutic approach is person-centered, drawing from elements of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and strengths-based therapy. Using these modalities, I aim to help you overcome obstacles and thrive.


When I’m not in the office or at school, I enjoy reading, crocheting, listening to music or podcasts, and spending time with my loved ones.

Congratulations on taking this step towards healing and personal wellness! I can’t wait to hear more about your story and to support you throughout this journey together. I am excited to learn more about your goals and how to best support you so that you can reach them! I believe that every person is unique and has their own one-of-a-kind experience. In our work together, I want to celebrate this uniqueness and work together to create a plan that best suits YOU!

I believe in building strong, trusting relationships, and creating a safe/comforting environment. In my practice, I tend to integrate different styles and approaches to best fit you and your needs! My counseling style is typically rooted in a person-centered and strengths-based approach that is supported by mindfulness-based and cognitive behavioral techniques. I have had the pleasure of working with people from diverse populations struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and behavioral concerns and specialize in working with children and adolescents.

I can’t wait to hear about your unique journey so far and look forward to working together as you navigate through life.

Outside of sessions, you can find me attending events whether it’s a sports game or a concert! I love spending time hiking with my dog, feeding carrots to my bunny and spending time outside being active with friends and family.

I believe anyone and everyone can benefit from engaging in therapy. It can be so helpful to have someone in your life that really listens to you and can help you reflect on and better understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I would love the opportunity to play that role in your life.

My primary goals within the therapeutic relationship are to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for you to share what you feel you need to as well as help you to identify goals and issues that you would like to work on. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort between client and therapist. We are both working together to help you make the improvements and changes in your life that you feel are necessary.

I utilize a variety of approaches and techniques in my work with clients including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapy. I have received training in Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Brainspotting, both of which are focused on the treatment of symptoms associated with trauma and PTSD.

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m passionate about creating a warm, safe and personalized space where people feel supported in sharing their stories and exploring what matters most to them. I work with adults, teens, and couples who would like to address ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-care, and self-confidence. My goal is to help you develop the confidence and skills you need to thrive. My approach is collaborative and client-centered—I believe you’re the expert on your own life. Together, I’ll assist in helping you understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and find balance in a way that feels right for you. I draw from Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Family Therapy to meet you where you’re at and help you move toward meaningful change.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Colgate University in New York, and earned my Master’s of Social Work from University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work. In my role as a case manager and school‐based mental health therapist, I’ve seen firsthand how human relationships, dignity, and genuine collaboration make the difference. These roles deepened my belief in the power of connection and the importance of honoring each person’s dignity and story.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my friends and family, trying new restaurants, traveling, and binging a new true crime show with my pug, Pickles.

I’m excited to work with you!

“We’re all just walking each other home.” — Ram Dass

At different points in life, it’s easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves. In those moments, it can be hard to remember that we are capable of growth and healing. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you, offering a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can reconnect with your inner resources and your most authentic self.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in the mind-body connection. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, somatic practices, and mindfulness based strategies to support meaningful, lasting change. I work with individuals, 18 and older, navigating trauma, perinatal mental health, religious trauma, anxiety, high sensitivity, and life transitions.

You do not have to move through it alone. Therapy with me is not about fixing you. It is about walking together as you find your way back to yourself.


I believe everyone has a backpack, filled with identities, beliefs, and histories that shape the way we move through the world. Our backpacks are made up of all kinds of things – things like experiences we had growing up, our likes and dislikes, stories we were told about ourselves, things we feel proud of, and things we struggle with. For some of us, carrying our backpacks might feel light and relaxed. For others, our backpacks might feel heavy, uncomfortable, and difficult to carry. No matter what you carry with you, it can be valuable to share the load sometimes. As your therapist, I would be honored to help you carry your backpack!

With my clients, I use an affirming approach, integrating evidence-based therapy modalities to support treatment goals. I work with diverse adults (age 18+), to address mental health and identity-related concerns, such as depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, and significant life transitions. I also have advanced training in perinatal mental health treatment (including peripartum mood disorders and anxiety/OCD, birth trauma, and postpartum psychosis) and identity- and gender-affirming care. It would be an honor to work with you!

“We can’t change the hard, but we can change the alone.” – Becky Kennedy, Ph.D.

I strive to create a safe space to explore challenges and aspects of ourselves that we may not have fully accepted yet. In therapy, I offer support to help you better understand yourself, try on new perspectives, and feel empowered to make positive changes that enhance your quality of life.
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy and building a trusting relationship. I value each person’s unique story, challenges, and strengths. I work collaboratively with you to create an individualized approach tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll identify the factors that contribute to distress and help you develop the confidence and skills needed for a healthier path forward.
I specialize in working with children and adults, offering support for anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and substance use. My experience in outpatient settings has allowed me to work closely with clients across various age groups, particularly focusing on children struggling with anxiety. I also enjoy working with families to address behavioral concerns, using creative and engaging methods like arts and crafts to help children express themselves and develop coping strategies. As a pre-licensed clinician under supervision, I use evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while striving to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment where clients feel safe exploring their thoughts and feelings.
Originally from North Dakota, I have called the Twin Cities home for over six years. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling to new places, and exploring bookstores.

Starting therapy can be awkward, but I’m here to help. My vibe is authentic, playful, curious, and grounded. I trust you as the expert on yourself and feel honored and excited to explore your deep desires and needs with you. I’m committed to an intersectional approach that acknowledges the systems of power impacting your mental health, and operate from a sex-positive, body-neutral, anti-oppressive lens. I am neurodiversity-affirming and pursue creative communication and meaningful connection with my clients. I’m excited to know you, exactly as you are, and work with you to develop immediate coping strategies while working toward a more equitable, liberationist future. I work with clients over age 5, and am particularly passionate about long-term healing and self-exploration work with teens and adults throughout the lifespan. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma treatment, and Washburn’s Developmental Repair model for building trust and self-regulation skills with youth.

My approach to therapy is centered around a trusting and open therapeutic relationship. I believe that the therapeutic relationship serves as a tool to increase healthy communication skills, resilience, problem-solving strategies, self-compassion, empathy, and hope. My goal is to collaborate with each client to ensure that the therapeutic space is safe and conducive to their unique healing needs.

I am passionate about showing up authentically as your therapist. Others describe my personality as calm, curious, compassionate, and creative. I believe laughter is one of the best forms of healing, and you will likely catch us laughing when it is appropriate and therapeutic for you.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which inherently means that I value relationships and see them as one of the most important aspects of our well-being. Whether you are working with me individually or in the context of a relationship, we will discuss how your relationships impact the way you function. I work with adolescents (12+), adults, couples, and families.

When I am not working, I enjoy reading, traveling, expressing myself through movement or art, and having a good laugh with my friends or family. I look forward to learning and growing with you during the therapeutic process.

My goal for therapy is to help my clients build and live lives they value. We are often presented with challenges that make these values unclear, difficult to live by, or not the priority. Sometimes the situation is out of your control, and the task is to respond effectively. My role is to make you feel understood, help clarify what is important to you, and collaboratively find the steps forward. I blend warmth, humor, and a few metaphors throughout sessions to help clients feel more at-ease. I want my clients to feel supported every step of the way.

I work with adults navigating a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD/trauma, and sleep problems. I emphasize using evidence-based approaches tailored to fit the needs of my clients. This includes broad approaches, like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I also have specialized training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD, as well as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD.

I am so thankful that the stigma about mental health and therapy is lessening, and more people are talking comfortably about mental health.

My area of specialty is working with adults on issues involving anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship issues & life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with teens.

I bring to therapy sessions as an empathic listener using an eclectic approach as a generalist using client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior therapy, interpersonal processing, motivational interviewing, relational therapy, solution-focused and systemic interventions.

I have over 10 years’ experience working in mental health in different areas of people’s lives such as: in their homes, at school, in a diversion program, in residential treatment settings and outpatient therapy.

I spent 5 years working in a school with kids struggling with emotional and behavioral disorders and through that experience, I have worked alongside parents/guardians, educators, social workers, probation officers, mental health case managers, and have experience of the Special Ed. Process and IEPs.

I understand potential struggles working in a school system as a former school counselor and teacher.

I also have both an understanding and appreciation of mental health needs in rural Minnesota.

In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family, friends, and two dogs. I enjoy riding motorcycles, camping, traveling, road trips, crafting, and listening to music.

Finding the right fit for a therapist is an important step in one’s therapeutic journey. I may not be the right fit for everyone, but I hope to be the right fit for you.

Hello and welcome! My name is Hannah (she/her).
When life gets tough, we don’t need to face it alone. I believe you are the expert of your life and that therapy should be about your needs at your pace. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to feel validated and supported as you explore your identity and therapeutic goals.

I use person-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approaches to therapy guided by systems theory and feminist theory. Utilizing elements of narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, I can help you discover (or rediscover) your inner strengths, values, and motivations while cultivating new skills and perspectives. I am passionate about working with adults of all ages through all stages of life.

I received my Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth and my Master of Social Work degree from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. I have worked extensively with diverse and marginalized populations in the Twin Cities area.
ASL—Deaf and Hard of Hearing friendly.

I believe that a balance of empathy and empowerment is essential for healing and growth.

My therapeutic approach recognizes the strengths and resiliency in every individual, while also acknowledging the weight of the challenges they are carrying. I believe that each person is the expert of their own experiences, and through a supportive relationship and non-judgmental listening, I aim create a space for my clients to feel comfortable, cared for, validated, and seen. I believe in a highly collaborative relationship with my clients, which involves working together as a team to design a plan specifically tailored to their unique identities and experiences.

Therapeutic Stance

I uphold a stance of unconditional positive regard for all those I work with and aim to grow a trusting, supportive relationship with my clients. I view therapy and mental health through a social justice lens, and I believe there is incredible strength and resiliency in our diverse identities. I believe it is critical to understand the impact of one’s environment and culture on wellbeing, as well as the societal systems of oppression that disproportionately impact certain groups. I understand that these factors can significantly impact one’s health and access to equitable care. Even if I cannot personally relate to your experiences, I promise to stand with you and invite you to share your truth with me. I love hearing client feedback and see my clients as my biggest teachers whose feedback helps me learn and grow as a clinician.

Modalities & Populations

I like to use a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy skills (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed/psychodynamic therapy. I have worked with a wide variety of populations in the social work/mental health field, including kids, teenagers, and their families, people with disabilities, and adults of many different cultural backgrounds. I am passionate about working with underserved communities, including Black, Indigenous, and people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals facing poverty and homelessness, and individuals with disabilities. I aim to reduce barriers to equitable and affirming care for these populations. I also have a strong interest in working with people with autism (or those who suspect they are) and providing supportive, neuro-affirming therapy. Additionally, I have experience working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, life stressors, and identity issues. If my approach to therapy resonates with you, I would be honored to connect with you and hear your story.

Life doesn’t always go the way we hope, and it can sometimes feel isolating, lonely, and incredibly difficult. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space to process and work through the moments with which you struggle.

I believe therapy requires compassion, empathy, and a collaborative relationship, as well as examining one’s strengths and their environment. It’s important to me to match the individual to a treatment that works best for them, so I value feedback and honest discussion, especially when things do not seem to be working.

I have extensive experience with children and teens, especially those from underserved populations, who have struggled with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, traumatic stress, and more. I currently work with children, teens, and adults, and I have a special interest in working with people pleasers, those within the LGBTQIA+ community, those going through major life changes, avoidant and anxious attachment styles, low self-esteem, and anxiety disorders.

When I’m not doing therapy, I enjoy playing video and board games as well as playing dungeons and dragons. Creative outlets are important to me for expression of self.

Welcome! I’m Isabelle and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and growth. I earned my master’s degree in Trauma-Informed Clinical Social Work from Winona State University, following my passion for helping others. Before that, I delved into the field with a bachelor’s degree in social work, with a focus on substance use and addictions—I’ve always been drawn to understanding people’s unique experiences and strengths.

As a compassionate therapist, my mission is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration, as I believe in the power of a trusting therapeutic relationship to facilitate meaningful change. With a deep respect for your unique perspective and lived experiences, I tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet your individual needs and goals. Whether you’re navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, I’m here to offer guidance, insight, and practical tools to help you cultivate resilience and discover your innate strengths.

With trauma, I’m here to explore how your past experiences shape your present and empower you to heal and move forward. My approach is all about being client-centered, offering unconditional positive regard, and embracing empathy to truly understand your journey. I’m also a big fan of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) too! It’s amazing how we can challenge and change unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes to pave the way for positive growth. I’m committed to providing you with a holistic and personalized treatment approach that honors your whole being—mind, body, and spirit.

Above all, I want you to know that you’re not alone on this journey. Together, we’ll work towards fostering a deeper understanding of yourself, developing healthier coping strategies, and ultimately, creating a life filled with meaning, fulfillment, and joy.

If you’re ready to take the first step towards positive change, I invite you to reach out and schedule a session. I look forward to the privilege of supporting you on your path to healing and self-discovery.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I believe that healing and growth happen through connection—within ourselves and in our relationships. I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore the patterns that shape their lives, with a strong emphasis on communication, emotional connection, and relational dynamics.

Whether you’re new to therapy or returning, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where your unique needs, goals, and experiences guide the process. I tailor my approach to each client, drawing from evidence-based modalities including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. These frameworks help support emotional regulation, cognitive awareness, and the re-authoring of personal and relational narratives.

I have experience working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity development, life transitions, grief, and relational challenges. My goal is to support the you in building stronger, more fulfilling relationships—with others and the self.

Specialties: nature connection, neurocomplexity, high achieving, highly masked Autism, giftedness, college or graduate student, childhood cancer

I know keywords aren’t the most personable way to start my profile, but I hope they helped you find your way here so you can learn more about me and decide if you’d like to schedule a session.

I most often work with people who are:
Looking to build their connection with nature or to process ecogrief or ecoanxiety
Gifted (creative, complex, high achievers, fast talkers & faster thinkers)
Neurocomplex (i.e., a combination of giftedness, Autism, and/or ADHD)
Autistic (especially highly masked, newly diagnosed, and/or female-identifying or AFAB)
College and graduate students (transitioning into or out of college, needing study strategies, or wanting support navigating the college/graduate environment)
Therapists-in-training, unlicensed therapists
Caregivers of a young child with cancer
However you identify, my job as a therapist is to help you try new perspectives, find your strengths, build skills, connect with your inherent worth, and hold you accountable to your goals.

To do this, I primarily use techniques based in humanistic therapy, nature-based therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), compassion-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and positive psychotherapy. In non-technical terms, this means that I value our relationship and already see you as a capable, worthy human being. I’ll show up authentically and transparently with you and hope you will feel comfortable being your true self during our time together. I’ll help you change thought patterns and ways of coping that no longer work for you. Together, we’ll dismantle the harmful messages you’ve received from others about your differences and we’ll rebuild with messages of empowerment, acceptance, and celebration. I’ll also support you in finding ways to be fully present in the moment and move toward your values. And if you’d like, I’ll help you find ways to get your hands dirty (literally) in nature.

Beyond individual therapy, I’ve also taught college courses, run horticultural therapy groups, conducted Autism and ADHD evaluations, presented research, and worked a number of other “gigs.” I enjoy integrating these to support you in therapy. Even more so, I look forward to meeting you, as my most important lessons invariably come from hearing my clients’ lived experiences.

Outside of paid work, I enjoy spending time with my family (a young son, husband, birds, and aquariums), being outside, eating my daily bowl of ice cream, reading books, and playing soccer. I have a dry sense of humor and I’m passionate about a number of topics.

“And still, I rise.” -Maya Angelou

Finding a way to rise when you’re being weighed down by life’s stressors can feel impossible sometimes. But reaching out for support is one of the bravest, most effective ways to kickstart growth and healing. No matter who you are or what you’re going through, I’m glad you’re here. I would feel privileged to offer you a compassionate space where you are free to explore your identities, experiences, challenges, and strengths without judgement. I take an individualized therapeutic approach to each client, centering your unique goals at the heart of your treatment. I am informed by CBT, psychodynamic theory, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I am rooted in my commitment to continually address systemic oppression and advance social justice movements.

I often work with people who are going through life transitions, addressing their trauma, coping with grief+loss, or managing depression or anxiety. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. As a proud member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, I am passionate about working with people who hold these identities, as well as folks of all ages who are interested in exploring their gender and/or sexuality.

In my free time, I love to play music, read fiction, explore the outdoors, and hang out with my dog! Please reach out if we can be part of each other’s stories.

I am deeply passionate about walking alongside people—from children as young as six to adults in mid-life—as they navigate life’s challenges, discover what inspires them, and connect with their most authentic selves. My therapeutic approach incorporates mindfulness and nature-based practices, along with reality and solution-focused therapies, to gently guide and support your healing and growth. I believe that meaningful change begins in a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard so you can explore all parts of your story without fear or judgment.

Before becoming a therapist, I have had the privilege of working over a decade in the corporate world, as well as a school counselor, and supporting families in a domestic violence shelter. These experiences help me understand and appreciate the many different paths people walk, and the strength it takes to seek support.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling (especially to any place with water) and doing craft, woodworking and home DIY projects.

I’m truly honored to do this work and look forward to building meaningful connections with those who are ready to take that next step toward healing, clarity, self-discovery and growth.

Taking care of our mental health is an essential part to maintaining whole body health and wellness, allowing humans to thrive instead of just survive. I am honored to support clients with their mental health and wellness journey. I approach sessions with an empathetic, trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and pull from my experience using solution-focused, CBT, and attachment-centered modalities. I have provided crisis mental health care in emergency room settings for over 2 years, giving me a calm demeanor even when a situation may be tense or scary. I have a passion for and special interest in working with perinatal and neurodivergent populations, and enjoy supporting clients with parenting struggles, anxiety, trauma, and suicidal ideation.

I have a CAMS-Trained certification to process suicidal ideation within the CAMS (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality) framework. I have also completed 14 hours of Postpartum Support International (PSI) Perinatal Mental Health training, working towards achieving my PMH-C certification. I currently hold a Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) license and am close to my goal of achieving my independent license (LICSW)!

Outside of providing therapy and nerding out about mental health, I enjoy being a mom, listening to podcasts and music, cooking, and being outdoors (except for during winter!)

I believe that everyone can benefit from going to therapy. There are many advantages, whether it be from sharing something with someone you’ve struggled to say before, to truly being heard for the first time, or even processing new feelings you didn’t know you were experiencing.

I work with children on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, life changes, and behavioral concerns. My approach with children focuses on creating a safe and engaging space where they can express themselves through play, crafts, and creative activities. By doing so, I help children explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and build resilience in a way that meets their developmental and emotional needs.

I also work with individuals 18 and older who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-confidence issues, grief, and other emotional concerns. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and work toward greater emotional well-being. Mental health concerns are deeply personal experiences that requires a safe and supportive environment to process, and I am committed to honoring each client’s experiences while helping them navigate their unique journey.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in a person centered technique while also incorporating techniques from narrative therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Outside of work, I love to do crafts and go on adventures in nature with my dog. I look forward to meeting you and beginning this journey together.

Hi, I’m Jordan! I am a counseling psychology graduate student at the University of St. Thomas. I’m passionate about creating a supportive, affirming space where clients can feel heard, valued, and empowered in their personal growth.
I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults from diverse backgrounds, with a special interest in supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or life transitions, and those navigating identity development and relationship challenges.
My approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing on person-centered and strengths-based principles. I tailor my work to each client’s needs, often incorporating cognitive-behavioral strategies, reflective listening, and exploration of meaning to support healing and growth.
Before starting my practicum, I worked as a behavioral therapist supporting children and families, a research assistant studying adolescent mental health, and a volunteer in hospital settings providing comfort and support to patients. These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with individuals, understand unique life stories, and offer compassionate care.
Outside of the counseling room, I enjoy all things crafty, especially crocheting, and anything that helps me slow down and be present. I also appreciate quality time with family and friends, and I look forward to discovering what brings joy and meaning to the people I work with.

I’m currently a Pre-Independently Licensed Therapist, and I’d like to welcome you to a space where growth, healing, and honest connection are encouraged. I work with individuals who may be navigating life transitions, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, or trauma. I approach therapy through a client-centered lens, informed by CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, strengths-based practices, and motivational interviewing. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering a safe space to feel seen, supported, and empowered, where your story matters and your voice leads the way.

Outside the therapy room, I find joy in movement and adventure, whether I’m catching a game, hiking in nature, or diving into a good book. I believe the path to healing is just as meaningful as the destination. Let’s take that first step together

I recognize and applaud the effort needed to seek out therapy, and aim to hold your story with respect and genuine care. Whether you are looking to make significant changes, address something in your life that isn’t making sense, engage in preventative mental health care, or simply want someone to hear you and hold space, I’m here for it. There is never a bad time to get support for yourself! Regardless of what brings you in, my job is to support and walk alongside you as you explore what meaningful change looks like in your life and relationships.

I have experience working with individuals, couples, and adolescents (aged 15+), and particularly enjoy working with other helping professionals. While I welcome clients of all identities, I have specific experience working with individuals who have been impacted by the criminal justice system as well as those involved in custody disputes. No matter where you come from or where you’re going, you contain multitudes! I will work to understand your life experiences while creating a safe space for you to share and explore. I firmly believe that you are the expert in your life and will tailor our time together based on your unique needs and level of understanding.

Taking that first step on your healing journey can be terrifying and relieving at the same time – I appreciate the strength and courage it takes to come to therapy. Whether you’re struggling to manage day-to-day life due to recent stressors, or you’ve been in a difficult place for a long time, therapy can be a great way to sort through what’s happening in a caring, warm, and supportive environment. I fully believe in collaborating with each individual client to tailor what treatment and goals will look like for them. You as the client are the expert on your life, and you have all the capabilities of healing within you – I am just here to walk alongside you on the journey.

I provide individual therapy at CARE Counseling for adults, with areas of focus in anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, interpersonal relationships, gender and sexuality, identity issues and concerns, and women’s issues. I am informed through Person-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, as well as Feminist Therapy, and Relational Cultural Therapy. Knowing where a person has come from in the past, how society and culture, as well as significant relationships with others, affect them as an individual, and what is happening in the present are all vital aspects to me. Those factors will help us find goals and make treatment fulfilling for you.

During my undergraduate, I studied Psychology with a Mental Health Emphasis and a Women and Gender Studies minor at the University of Wisconsin River Falls, earning my Bachelors of Science. I received my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin Stout with concentrations in Alcohol and Other Drugs of Addiction, Trauma, Crisis, and Eating Disorders. While earning my Masters, I interned at a community school district and worked with adolescents and teens. There, I experienced a variety of concerns from my clients, anywhere from anxiety and learning coping skills, to PTSD and sexual assault.

I grew up in rural Wisconsin, but have always enjoyed the vibrancy of a big city. In my free time, I enjoy taking walks in nature, cuddling with my cats and fiancé, curling up with a good book, and passing hours with a relaxing video game. Thanks for reading about me, and I hope we get to walk this journey together.

Life’s journey can often feel like navigating complex and unfamiliar terrain, fraught with twists and turns, unexpected detours, and unforeseen obstacles. It’s okay and very normal to feel overwhelmed with the journey. Seeking out support when needed can be both extremely difficult and incredibly rewarding as you seek to find your own path in the journey of life. My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a safe and compassionate space that can be used to create the changes you want to see in yourself. I use a person-centered approach to therapy which means that I believe that every person has the innate capacity for self-discovery and growth. In my work, I seek to provide you with the tools necessary to engage in that process and discover your own values, identity, and meanings. In finding these tools, I often pull from evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. My role is to help you identify what you seek to change and provide you with the tools and space needed to create that change. I work with adults (18+) of many different presenting concerns, but particularly enjoy working with concerns of anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, eating disorders/disordered eating, body image, emotional regulation, emotional intelligence, self-acceptance, self-confidence, trauma, identity, stress management, and grief.

I graduated with my Master of Social Work from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I grew up in Minnesota and in my free time I mostly enjoy spending time with my several housecats, reading a good book, and going for walks around the local nature centers. I believe that authentic human (and non-human) connection is one of the most rewarding things in life and I am passionate about the work I do. I look forward to meeting you and walking with you on this journey.

Karissa Schillinger specializes in working with adolescents and young adults, focusing on anxiety and life transitions. She uses a person-centered approach, building trust through humor, self-disclosure, games, and calming music. Karissa enjoys connecting with clients by sharing her love for gaming and EDM music, creating a relaxed and engaging environment. Her warm, authentic style helps clients feel comfortable and supported as they navigate life's challenges.

I obtained a Bachelors of Social Work degree from Minnesota State University Moorhead and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of North Dakota. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

My previous experience has allowed me to work with people in many stages of their lives. I have a special interest in working with children and treating trauma. I have completed training for DC 0-5 (birth to 5-year-olds) and Parent and Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). I have obtained additional training in the treatment of trauma and play therapy. I have experience working with concerns related to depression, anxiety, trauma, mood, disruptive behaviors, and parenting.

I enjoy utilizing art, movement, play, imagery, and creativity within therapy. I believe all people have strengths that they can draw from to better their lives. I value regular self-care as vital to mental health. I primarily borrow approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical and Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy.

I live in New Ulm, with my family of 6. I love spending my spare time reading, running with my dog, doing something crafty, or practicing yoga. I enjoy traveling and hope to “touch grass” in many more places throughout my lifetime.

There are countless reasons why people seek therapy – whether it’s the daily stressors of life, relationship struggles, or painful experiences and emotions.  Challenges are a part of life, and no one is immune to them. Sometimes these challenges become too much to bear on our own, or we find that our efforts to solve the problem simply aren’t working. No matter your reason for seeking therapy, know that I will do my best to support you and understand the challenges you face.  Your vision for the life you want will be my guidepost, as we step bravely into the process of therapeutic healing together.

My goal is that we build a relationship of trust and empathy, where you feel safe enough to take the risks that come along with growth – the risks of processing difficult experiences, learning new skills, and gaining insights into your life.  Through this process, I believe both healing and empowerment are possible.

Therapy should be as unique as you. Therefore, I use a variety of therapeutic techniques and theories when we work together based upon what feels like the best fit given your feedback and my professional perspective. Some therapeutic approaches I commonly find helpful include elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT).

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults. My experience includes working with adults of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds with various symptoms including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, personality disorders, PTSD, and psychosis. Additionally, I have worked with individuals facing a variety of other life challenges, including homelessness, domestic violence, sexual assault, life transitions, relationship issues, traumatic brain injury, physical and developmental disability, and legal issues/court mandates.

I earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and English at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, and my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at St. Cloud State University. I completed two practicum experiences at St. Cloud State University providing individual and group therapy for undergraduate students. I also completed an internship at Hennepin Healthcare in the William W. Jepson Day Treatment Program providing therapy for the CBT for co-occurring diagnoses treatment track and the DBT treatment track. I am a Mental Health Practitioner working towards licensure as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) under supervision.

We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to” – Bren Brown

Throughout life, many of us are trying to prove we can be independent – from our childhood first steps, to our first job, and well into adulthood. The truth is, as much as we love our independence, we need connection. We need someone to work through the stressors of daily life, as well as our heavy traumatic experiences. In therapy, you can discuss things you may not be able to share with your friends and family, in a safe and secure place. We’ll also work together to help you build empathetic and trusting relationships in your life outside of therapy, so you can have ongoing support.

As a therapist, I use a client centered approach, specifically using methods from CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy). I’m also open to feedback and willing to try anything I can within my competency to help you meet your goals.

I work with individuals who are 16 and older who are experiencing problems such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, grief, relational distress and substance use. I have wanted to help others with their mental health for most of my life, and I am passionate about my work!

Although CARE Counseling does not yet take Tricare insurance, if your circumstances allow, I have specialized training in helping members of our military and their families. The pain of moral injury is especially close to my heart – the terrible feeling that occurs when we or someone else goes against our strongly held values. If this sounds familiar, please give me a call. I’d love to help.

Being here proves that you can do hard things. It’s not always easy to take the next step and eat your mental health vegetables, or however you personally want to frame the idea of therapy in your mind. As a clinician, I strive to make my clients feel seen and heard no matter the reason they are seeking therapy. I enjoy working with clients from age thirteen through adults of any age on a wide variety of topics including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, grief, LGBTQIA+, and chronic health concerns/disabilities. Client-centered practice is very important to me. Additionally, I love working with folks on building and practicing coping skills. Therapy can be hard work, so I also do my best to keep things engaging while actively seeking feedback about what will make therapy meaningful to you and feel like a worthwhile use of your time. I look forward to getting to know each and every person I work with as an individual and work together on figuring out as a team the best strategies to make it through life’s unpredictable struggles. Tell me about your strengths! Spoiler alert: everyone has them, and everyone includes you. In my free time, I enjoy reading, kicking back to watch a show or movie, and listening to music.

“Get comfortable being uncomfortable.” This mindset allows us to embrace challenges, recognizing that they do not define who we are. Instead of avoiding or being overwhelmed by the obstacles in life, we can use them as opportunities for growth and take control of our lives. By facing these challenges head-on, we gain the power to reshape our narrative and create a better future.

As a therapist, I operate from a client-centered approach meaning the relationship and trust built is the foundation of our work together. Drawing from CBT, Psychodynamic theory, mindfulness, person-centered therapy and CPT, I individualize my approach to fit each unique individual that I see.

I work with a diverse range of individuals assisting adults and teens on their journey towards healing and growth. My expertise includes substance abuse, trauma, PTSD, personality disorders, anxiety, depression and those navigating major life changes. I am honored to be a small part of your journey, and can’t wait to work with you!

Welcome! We all struggle at some point in our lives. If you are here, it means that you have chosen to take the first step to seek help for yourself or your child. This often is a huge step, and I understand, a very difficult step. It is important to know that seeking help is not a sign of weakness but of courage. Emotional problems are often a sign of trying to be strong for too long.

In my office, I believe that everyone needs a place where they feel like they can be heard. I also believe that everyone has the power within themselves to change. However, life circumstances often cause them to stop believing in themselves and/or have difficulties trusting others. Through our work, I use a client-centered and attachment/trauma informed approach to help you and/or your child be able to grow. I am passionate about bringing hope and healing to children, adolescents, adults, and families, as well as learning their stories.

I was born and raised in the Twin Cities, although I attended graduate school in Chicago at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, playing with my dogs, and swimming. I also am a firm believer in self-care. My favorite forms of self-care include drawing, coloring, and doing puzzles.

“We don’t have to do it all alone. We were never met to.” – Brene Brown

Hello! I am so happy you have started your journey into therapy. As a therapist I want to provide a safe and healing space to be vulnerable and grow into the wonderful person you are. My approach is to start where you are comfortable. I love to use humor and other modalities to help with the process of working through difficult topics in life. I have worked in many settings of hospitals, nursing homes, adult drop in centers, schools and clinic setting to help frame my approach. My favorite therapy modalities are, CBT, Mindfulness, strengths-based, relational, trauma-informed therapy, and motivational interviewing. Through these approaches I love to listen to feedback and navigate in a way that is person-centered. I work with individuals 7 and older who are experiencing, anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, family conflict, and caregiver stress.

Outside of work I enjoy finding new recipes to cook, spending time on the lake and exploring new coffee shops.

Welcome! Therapy is a space where you have the opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. My approach is collaborative, and I believe that therapy should be tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re seeking guidance to overcome personal challenges, a peaceful space to reflect, or a way to push yourself towards new growth, my role is to offer you support and encouragement to help you work through the difficulties of life. I am committed to providing you with the tools and insights to make meaningful progress both in the therapy room and in your everyday life.

In our work together, I draw on several modalities to address the variety of experiences you will bring into the therapy room. The following are a few of the ones I utilize most often: One of the core approaches I use is CBT, which is effective for helping individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other emotional struggles. We’ll explore how your thoughts influence your feelings and behaviors, and I’ll guide you in developing healthier, more constructive ways of thinking. I also incorporate DBT, especially when working with clients who experience emotional dysregulation. DBT focuses on teaching skills such as distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, which are invaluable tools for managing overwhelming emotions and improving relationships.

I enjoy integrating a Strengths-Based Therapy into my practice, which focuses on identifying and building upon your inherent strengths and resources. Instead of focusing solely on deficits, we will explore your personal strengths, and how you can leverage those qualities to overcome challenges and pursue your goals. I believe that all individuals have the capacity for growth and resilience, and I encourage a positive and empowering perspective on change. With the inclusion of Systems Theory, Motivational Interviewing, and Existential and Spirituality-inclusive modalities, I work to understand the broader context of your culture and experiences -whether that’s the dynamics within your family, the deeper meaning you find in life, or how your values and beliefs play a role in your well-being. I strive to provide a holistic, compassionate, and effective therapeutic experience that respects your unique perspective and supports your personal journey.

We each experience life in unique, beautiful, and often complex ways. Our stories, including the parts we do and do not choose, can greatly influence our mental health. In therapy, I guide individuals and families in exploring these areas while being trauma-responsive and person-centered.

I am experienced in working with adults and children navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, grief, difficult family dynamics, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and sensory-processing difficulties. In my work, I strive to empower people to grow and heal to become the version of themselves they desire to be. Using your strengths, I hope that together we can create a plan that you feel is attainable, helpful, and worthwhile. Therapeutic modalities I utilize depend on your needs and preferences but may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). 

When I am not practicing therapy, I am usually spending time with friends and family, cuddling an animal, going for a walk, or listening to music. I look forward to meeting you and value the steps you are taking in seeking professional support.

Seeking a life that is authentic and vibrant to you can feel far-fetched when you’ve been feeling stuck in patterns of thoughts or behaviors. Whether you have had experiences with therapy in the past or this is your first time reaching out and seeking support, it takes bravery and grit to open up to someone new and say, “I don’t have all the answers”.

I believe that you are an expert in your situation and have many strengths and tools unique to you that can be utilized in the work we do together. You may just need some help along the way, as we all do from time to time. I believe that working collaboratively is crucial to creating change and since you are the expert in your experiences, it is important for me to work with you in a way that feels comfortable and authentic to you. I strive to be tuned into how you are feeling and perceive your experience to uniquely cater to your needs.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. And believe we all experience different challenges at each stage of life, and that there is no one way to get to the desired outcome, but rather many ways. I enjoy incorporating art, writing, play, and other techniques into the work I do with clients, as some feelings and experiences may be difficult to put into words. Just as you may be coming to therapy to learn new skills to utilize when faced with a new or familiar challenge, I too believe in lifelong learning and strive to continue to educate myself in new techniques, modalities, and practices.

Therapy can feel uncomfortable, awkward, vulnerable, and deeply healing all at once, and my goal is to make the process feel approachable, human, and grounded in genuine connection. I’m deeply committed to anti-oppressive practice and working across culture, identity, and gender expression. As an immigrant myself, I understand some of the challenges that can come with navigating identity, belonging, family expectations, and existing between different worlds and cultures.

I especially enjoy working with BIPOC individuals, immigrants, neurodivergent folks, and people of all genders and identities. I work with children ages 6+, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I draw from CBT, DBT, IFS-informed parts work, motivational approaches, strengths-based therapy, and play therapy techniques to support each client’s unique needs and goals. I am also fluent in Spanish and can provide therapy services in Spanish.

Outside of therapy, you’ll usually find me caring for my plants, catching up on my TV shows, and walking my two senior Chihuahuas. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Welcome! Thank you for beginning your therapeutic journey. Life has many unexpected experiences that challenge us from moving forward in our own stories and leave us in a place of feeling stuck. In therapy, I will work to provide a safe, tranquil, supportive, and regulating atmosphere, where we can try new perspectives and address barriers to support your growth and empowerment.

My approach to therapy is focused on meeting you where you are currently at in your story and building a trusting collaborative relationship. I want to know your perspective, your challenges, and where you want to take your story in the future. From there, we will together create an individualized approach that will support your goals and challenge any barriers so you can reach your ideal ending to the chapter, as well as lay the foundation for the upcoming chapters in your life. My primary areas of clinical focus include Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Grief, and Life Transitions. In terms of trauma therapy, I am currently pursuing certification in Cognitive Processing Therapy and have been clinically trained in Written Exposure Therapy. Additionally, I have completed trainings for ADHD certified providers, polyvagal therapy, somatic experiencing, acceptance and commitment therapy, and play therapy.

I have experience working with a diverse population including in-home and private practice, individual therapy, and assessment focused treatments. I work with individuals across the lifespan but I especially enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults. Working with kids, I take a collaborative approach within the family to help guide your child to feel empowered and confident in their skills as they navigate any stressors. I work with them to build foundational skills they can utilize throughout their life through a variety of techniques including play therapy, polyvagal therapy, somatic experiencing, and traditional talk therapy. When working with adults, I want to help instill a sense of hope and confidence. Life throws us curveballs, and I want to be there to help you feel supported and empowered.

In my free time, I really enjoy spending time with my family whether it is being outdoors in nature, watching sports (primarily hockey), engaging in crafts, or chilling and watching a movie. You can also find me playing video games, reading, and playing with my many pet rodents.

I believe everyone has their own unique journey in life, taking us unexpected places that are full of challenges and growth. I can’t wait to hear about your journey and continue to help guide and support you during this process. You are not alone. Therapy looks different for everyone, one persons journey will not be yours; that is why I use the foundations of person-centered and strengths-based approaches to help meet you where you are at in life.
I put an emphasis on the control you have in counseling sessions while guiding you through aspects in your life that are within your control and those that are not. Control The Controllable’s. I have background working with adults, teens, children, and families. I have special interest in those struggling with anxiety, ADD/ADHD, depression, self-esteem, and life changes.
No matter what challenges you’re facing, I am here to help and provide a safe place to do so. Outside of work you can find me cozied up at a coffee shop reading, or spending time with my baby boy and my husband. I also enjoy hiking, and attending church.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next steps? You’re not alone—and I’m here to help. I have over 25 years of experience supporting adults and adolescents who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use.

My approach is person-centered, humanistic, and grounded in genuine compassion and respect for each individual’s journey. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your experiences, and working collaboratively to help you find clarity, healing, and strength.

Drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. I strive to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow.

Let’s take the next step toward your well-being—together.

Don’t you just hate it when life kicks you in the pants? Sometimes we just get knocked down and it feels impossible to get back up again. But you know what? Life does get better, and seeking counseling is a great step in working towards your “better.” I love how C.S. Lewis puts it, “you can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”

I believe in a holistic view of people. We are made up of our past and our present. Our families and our friends. Our hopes and our dreams. I believe that counseling allows us the space to work through the jumbled mess of life and find peace and contentment.

My role as a therapist is to provide the space to process. I will be there to listen, encourage, challenge, teach, and support. Your job is to set goals, work towards those goals, and challenge yourself to be the best version of yourself that you can be.

I particularly have expertise in working with people who are between the ages of 20 and 40. I have extensive experience in working with anxiousness, depressiveness, lack of motivation, discontentment, communication issues, concentration concerns, struggles with anger, and even traumatic memories.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in psychology and family studies at the University of Saint Thomas, and I received my Master’s degree in counseling psychology with an emphasis on clinical mental health at Bethel University. I am currently pursuing my LPCC.

Therapy can be daunting, but my role is to help you through it. I believe that we know ourselves better than anyone else which is why I use a client-centered approach. This means that you are in control of our sessions, and I will be there to guide you through it by providing a safe space. I see clients from a variety of different backgrounds, 12 years old and older. I have experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self harm and am open to seeing clients with all different needs. In addition to using a client centered approach, I focus on talk therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI).

What drew me to counseling was the stigma surrounding mental health and mental illness, especially in the Latino community. Growing up with immigrant parents and as an immigrant myself, I saw the need for mental health services and validation in my community. I want to be a part of erasing the stigma and getting people the help that they need. I am fluent in Spanish and able to provide services in Spanish, English, or both. I graduated with my B.A. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in 2020. I am currently in my Master’s program for Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University and on track to become an LPCC.

Reaching out for therapy is a brave move in your journey to healing and growth. When you take this step we can begin to work in a calm and safe environment together. I am here to help you identify where you are and where you would like to be. I employ a client centered approach to create a safe space for you to discuss and evaluate what you want your life to look like and how to get there. Together we can work on insight and self-awareness.  We can work on a path that leads to the future you see for yourself. I believe we are capable of creating a life worth living and not just surviving. I believe we can get to a place of growth. I know therapy is not a one size fits all approach and will tailor our time together to be the most therapeutic for you and your needs. Most importantly we will figure out together what works for you.

I work with adults 18 and older with a variety of concerns including, ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, chemical dependency, life transitions (including retirement), cross cultural issues, grief and loss, caregiving  and personal and professional burnout. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your unique story. I feel honored to be able to accompany you in this next phase of your life.

Hello! My name is Marti and I provide individual therapy for adults and adolescents. Life is a journey full of various chapters that include ups, downs, and transitions. Life can be challenging. Whether you are struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, grief/loss, or career change, you may feel overwhelmed, stressed, stuck, confused, alone or discouraged. At times like this, you need someone to listen and help you find a path forward. I am here to listen and partner with you. I understand that the experiences in your life have shaped where you are today. My focus is client-centered, creating a warm, caring, and nonjudgmental space for you to heal, grow, and change in your own way, at your own pace. My approach to therapy is insight-oriented and highly relational, drawing on various therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs. I value creating an authentic therapeutic relationship. My work centers on empathy and I strongly believe in working collaboratively with you to facilitate growth, insight, and healing. I would welcome working with you.

I believe therapy should feel like a real, supportive conversation—one where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I work with teens, adults, and couples using a flexible, integrative approach that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered, and humanistic techniques. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

Before joining CARE, I worked in a mix of settings—residential programs, schools, and outpatient care—which helped me connect with people from all different backgrounds and stages of life. I’m especially passionate about supporting folks working through eating disorders and those in the LGBTQIA+ community. Outside of therapy, you can usually find me playing video games, working out, walking in nature, or getting lost in a good playlist. I believe finding joy and balance in everyday life plays a big role in overall well-being—and I bring that belief into the work I do with clients.

You have made a very brave decision to begin your journey in therapy to tackle the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My approach is based on the idea that our struggles are due to not having enough room inside of us and this congestion is because of the traumas, abuses, and overwhelming and neglectful experiences we have had in our lives. My work is to help awaken the inner healer within all of us. This inner healer can create safe space between each of our inner helpers and protectors so they can be heard and felt and evolve into healthier collaborative coping patterns and strengths. I also focus on how trauma can affect our relationships, work, and ability to pursue our goals and enjoy life. Using somatic body-based techniques, I teach people how our nervous system keeps us safe and how to befriend it and join it in a pursuit of transformation.

Hobbies: I enjoy spending time with family. I like to collect and watch classic and foreign films as well as listen to classical music. I also enjoy reading, chess, taking walks, and trying out new restaurants.

Mental health is not some small feat. I believe that everybody deserves an opportunity to face, combat, and conquer the obstacles laid in front of them. As a therapist, I am passionate about providing a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where I will fight alongside you to help you conquer whatever may be holding you back from your full potential.

My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), and Client-Centered therapy with a Strengths-Based, Multicultural- and Trauma-Informed lens. Through person-centered collaboration, I tailor my approach to what we both believe will help you the most. You are the expert in your life and I am here to guide you in implementing tools and tips to live a more fulfilling life. In therapy, I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults that struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, and self-image. I also specialize in working with LGBTQIA individuals and athletes who struggle with performance anxiety and are seeking assistance with enhancing performance. By using a collaborative approach, my goal in therapy is to provide you with all the tools you need to thrive outside the therapy setting.

I earned my Bachelor of Science at the University of St. Thomas studying Neuroscience and Theology, along with my Master of Counseling Psychology also from the University of St. Thomas. I am currently working towards my Doctorate in Sport and Performance Psychology at the University of Western States. Outside of the office and classroom, I love to cook and bake, travel, spend time with friends and family, and go for hikes with my puppy. I love to challenge myself, try new things, and attempt to become competent in various realms.

Let’s conquer this together!

Being human in our world can feel both beautiful and challenging. What you’re navigating may feel difficult or heavy at times, but you don’t have to carry the weight of it alone. I believe that therapy can be a powerful tool for healing, and my hope as a therapist is to provide a space where you feel safe to share, heal and grow. My work as a therapist is rooted in trauma-focused and attachment-based frameworks, mindfulness, and somatics (utilizing the physical body). I work with clients of all ages and enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and families.

I have supported clients in navigating neurodivergence, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, chronic health issues, perfectionism, life transitions, and relational challenges. I have a particular interest in women’s health, perinatal/peripartum mental health, LGBTQIA+ and neuro-affirming care. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am a yoga teacher and enjoy movement in it’s many forms. I also love music, theatre, baking, and traveling. I’d love to get to know you and to hold space for you wherever you are in your healing journey.

“Often, problems are knots with many strands, and looking at those strands can make a problem seem different.” –Fred Rogers

Everyone possesses their own tool kit that helps them untangle life’s knots. When we find that the knots are too big or too tough, we need support in gathering the right tools for untangling. I am passionate about helping children, families, and individuals grow their tool kit. I am especially passionate about working with children (4-18), young adults, and families. I have experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral challenges, challenges with parenting, challenges with adjusting to changes, autism spectrum disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I believe in a collaborative approach that draws on individual strengths, attachment and relational concepts, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and play. You can expect authenticity, warmth, humor, and playfulness, in a safe space that is free from judgement. If you’re finding that life’s knots need some help with untangling, you’ve already made the first step towards growing your tool kit. The next step is connecting with someone who can help.

I believe in creating a safe environment and building healthy relationships when working with all ages in the therapy session. In the past I have worked mostly with children and adolescents however, I am open to seeing adults under the age of 30. I enjoy helping others learn how to cope with their symptoms by providing healthy skills, build their self-esteem, and process hard events. My approach to practice includes an empathetic, client-centered, and goal-orientated that is evidenced-based such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also integrate Solution Focus Therapy to help individuals reach goals that feel out of reach.
I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in Child Development. I continued my education at the University of St. Thomas earning my master’s degree in counseling, specializing in child and adolescent mental health. Currently I am a doctoral student to become a psychologist. My previous experience has been working in an intensive outpatient program and an adolescent residential program in the Twin Cities since 2016.
I am a huge Vikings fan!!! I love playing, watching, and talking about all sports. I play volleyball and football with family and friends. My favorite form of self-care is taking myself out on dates by eating at new or my favorite restaurants.

A little therapy humor for you: “How many psychotherapists does it take to change a light bulb? None, the light bulb will change itself when it’s ready.”

Every chapter in your story matters and therapy can be a great way to explore the parts of our stories that we would rather ignore and skip over. It would be an honor to journey with you through that process. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space for all of my clients and offer a client-centered approach to therapy, and seek to offer trauma-informed and culturally respectful services. I have experience working with people who have anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, communication issues, autism and grief. If you are experiencing something not on that list or have questions feel free to reach out! In my free time, I love being outdoors, experimenting with fermentation (sourdough and kombucha anyone?), reading, and volunteering at my church.

Are you ready to start taking steps towards living more purposefully and passionately? Life is truly an adventure, and I am excited about sharing your journey with you. Making changes in our lives can be difficult and those changes can often be misunderstood by those closest to us. It’s comforting to have a trusted confidant to share our hopes, dreams, successes and struggles with! I’d like to be there for you as you work on becoming your best self yet!

I enjoy working with adults who are experiencing stress in their lives in the areas of life transitions, relationship challenges, substance use, grief and loss, work/life balance and healthy aging. All of these issues can create imbalance in our mental health, bringing on symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma, that can make it difficult to live our lives to the fullest. I enjoy working with adults of all ages and have a particular interest in older adults and the challenges, opportunities and experiences which are presented in this stage of life.

My role as your therapist will be to sit alongside of you, ask you questions and encourage your progress towards your goals. I use a client-centered approach to therapy which is a fancy way of saying I treat everyone as the unique and remarkable individual they are. I use mindfulness, existentialism, positive psychology and motivational interviewing as some of my key practice modalities.

Learning is a true passion of mine. I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. I received a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of St Thomas. I also received my Master’s in Addiction Studies – Advanced Practice from Hazelden Betty Ford School of Addiction Studies.  I continue to learn and grow every day in my therapy practice and personal life!!  I look forward to working with YOU!!

Therapy for adults, teens and children.
