Jennifer Pinion

Clients often come to me wanting support in managing the overwhelm in their lives. We live in such a fast-paced, over-stimulating and often judgmental world, and I provide a safe haven for clients to explore who they truly are. This enables them to make day to day choices that help them show up as themselves in their lives, and take control of their futures. I especially work well with clients with anxiety disorders, borderline personality and depression.

I practice mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, ages 11 to 111. You can meet with me outdoors via walk and talk/outdoor seated therapy, or by traditional telehealth/in-office therapy.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Carin Osvog

I work with clients who live with intense emotions. Deep depression, constant anxiety, intense anger, or on the other end—clients who tend to avoid feeling all together. Emotions often drive my client's choices—how they choose to behave or speak (or bow out of engaging/speaking) depends on how they are feeling. This way of living can feel chaotic and damage relationships. My clients become aware of their thoughts and emotions without being ruled by them.

My strength as a therapist lies in helping you work through the anger, brokenness, and heartache that's difficult even to talk about, the darkness that's hiding the path that you were always meant to find.

Art Therapy of MN

Anyone, at any age, can be creative and use art materials- and our art therapists help facilitate therapeutic interventions to help process trauma and emotions. Art therapy is a neurodivergent-affirming form of care, as it allows someone to process, communicate or express feelings in an alternate way than traditional talk therapy. Our art therapists and providers utilize a trauma-informed, inclusive, affirming lens of care.

I work with adults who want to process past trauma and relearn how to feel safe in the present.

I specialize in helping LGBTQ+ folks become your favorite version of yourself. Are you a queer, trans, or nonbinary person who avoids conflict by appeasing others?

I would love to connect with you. I can help you communicate your needs, set healthy boundaries, and increase self-esteem.

Jessica Voerding

You are ready to engage in the work of growth, healing, and returning to self. This could be little by little or that may be some big, heavy stuff. You may be ready to trust that the wisdom of your body will guide the healing. This may focus on parenting or affirming neurodivergency. This may be related to religious trauma. Maybe diet culture. You may be exploring the realities of white body supremacy and that of other oppressive systems while seeking to access more joy and liberation.

Julie Tilsen

You--and your partner(s), family, kids--seek a conversational partner who asks questions you've not asked yourself or been asked, inviting you to consider new possibilities. You desire an accomplice in solidarity with you, in resistance to a problem world that tries to convince you that you're the problem. You want to belong, not just fit in, embody your values, and live in connection with others. You need someone who understands that living under capitalism is harmful, and that you can resist.

Kelly Miklas

The clients I work best with are adults who are navigating symptoms of anxiety and/or trauma. I'm particularly passionate about working with the C-PTSD population and people erroneously diagnosed with BPD. My ideal client is willing to engage in collaborative and reciprocal conversation. They desire meaningful change, growth, and healing. They are open to both processing the past and preparing for the future, leaning on their strengths and learned tools.
