Hello and Welcome! I am glad that you are here. I am a Licensed Psychologist in Minnesota. For over 25 years, I have worked as a therapist with many clients with various issues, including anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief and loss, and trauma. My counseling style is warm and supportive. I use a person-centered approach focusing on the individual's strengths. Identifying one's strengths and coping skills that can be used to help work through various issues is an essential part of my therapy approach. I believe in building a relationship that is trusting, respectful, and comfortable. I will work with you on achieving your goals and getting what you want out of therapy. I believe that each individual can overcome struggles. Sometimes, having additional support in therapy can help identify better and recognize the coping skills and strengths they already possess. My hours are generally 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday-Thursday and until 3:00 pm on Friday. I like to start this process with an intake to make sure that we are a good match. I ask that you do not schedule an appointment until this short process is completed. You have taken the first step in your journey to being a happier, healthier you. I would be honored to assist you on this journey.

9 years offering treatment
Hello, I'm Vanessa. I am an LPCC in Minnesota and California with over 9 years of experience counseling children and adults. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings counseling individuals and children with needs in Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Childhood Trauma, Grief/Loss, and Substance Addiction. I approach my client's with a warm and non-judgmental demeanor. We live in a world that can go so fast at times. It is important to remember how to take care of ourselves and our mental health. My goals for clients are to remove the stigma of mental health and to advocate for education and better understanding of how their mind functions. Many times, we just need reminders about how to reconnect with a more centered version of ourselves. I enjoy using mindfulness strategies and thinking skills to support a healthy mind. I have an eclectic approach to therapy where I often find strategies to meet my client's needs where they are at. I also recommend that my clients take stock of how they take care of their physical bodies. Our mind and body are so connected. There are times when one is communicating, but the other is not listening. My approach to therapy is getting connected with thoughts and feelings in the moment and using strategies to relieve unnecessary pain and suffering. At times, our pain and suffering can have meaning, however, we can also place undue stress on ourselves. Taking responsibility for our happiness is a choice that takes courage and strength. I look forward to supporting your needs and getting to know you. This experience is to re-engage with you as the expert of your own life.

Hey there, I'm Rachel. I have been a social worker for over eight years and have experience working with individuals from different backgrounds and various challenges. Much of my experience has been working with individuals with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and adjustment to everyday life challenges. My counseling style is warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental. I have received feedback that clients feel they can be their authentic selves with me. I will help you navigate the difficulties you are facing with compassion, honesty, and respect. My therapeutic approach is integrative and person-centered with evidence-based strategies. I pull from cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness therapeutic techniques. I firmly believe that the most significant indication of successful therapy comes from the relationship between therapist and patient. I will take the time to listen and get to know you better to create a trusting and comfortable environment for the client to utilize their strengths, unique capacities, and accountability. I am willing to work in whichever format you feel most comfortable with! My availability is mainly in the late afternoon/evening, but I can check and answer a few messages throughout the day. I know how hard it can be to ask for help, but I am here to help you navigate these challenges, and if you are ready to take the initial steps towards changing your life, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Thanks for checking out my profile, finding the 'right fit' of a therapist is important so this is a little about me. I reside in North Carolina and am licensed to practice in both North Carolina and Minnesota. I have 22 years of clinical experience, yet I continue to learn and grow in my profession so that I can show up fully for those I get to serve. I have experience in helping clients successfully manage stress, anxiety, coping with life transitions and burnout. I am both a therapist and a registered nurse and can offer support to those facing illness or end of life, caregiving stress and burnout. My therapeutic approach includes brief solution focused interventions (figuring out solutions and focusing on the future instead of the past), cognitive behavioral interventions (identifying patterns in our mindset that impact our life), motivational interviewing (helping you identify what you really want to work on) and incorporating mindfulness and meditation. I view my role as being a guide and resource to help you tap into your own strengths to overcome challenges. I believe in helping people learn and practice skills that will help now and that can be used in the future on your own. Together we'll decide on what you want to work on and create goals and evaluate progress as we go. If something isn't working we can try a different approach. If you just don't feel like we 'click' that is OK, I'll help you get connected with another therapist here. You've taken a big first step in deciding to invest in yourself and what is most important is that you get the support that you need.
