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.

I have worked with a wide range of clients including caregivers, healthcare workers, artists and business professionals. I enjoy working with adult clients looking for help with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss (including pet loss), life stressors and transitions. I am sex-positive, poly & kink-friendly and I'm committed to providing gender-affirming care and support to the LGBTQI+ community.

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.

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.

Gwynn Thompson

The stories we tell ourselves are just as important as the stories we tell those around us. We all deserve the healing that comes with being able to express who we are in a way that feels true. There is a lot going on in the world, and I want therapy to be a supportive and safe place to explore the different parts of yourself and help navigate the experiences you are having. Together we are working towards building resiliency and hope.

I will work to understand your “whys” in life and how your upbringing and family impact who you are today. I work with couples, families, and individuals to address trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, LGBTQIA+ issues, and other life stressors. I have an interest in religious trauma, and I have special training in Brainspotting, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Psychological First Aid. We will use these tools to reframe the past, rewrite your life’s narrative, and help you move forward.

Eric Wittkopf

Are you hurting, lost, alone? Overwhelmed by life's challenges? Losing sight of your hopes and dreams? Maybe you're not even sure where to begin. Let's talk about it. 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.

Rita Sandidge

My practice honors people from marginalized and oppressed communities (Black, Brown, Indigenous People of Color, people with disabilities, Queer community), sex positivity, kink, poly/open relationship orientations, grief/loss/transition, college student mental health, neurodiversity, white accountability, and earth-based spiritual traditions. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are new to and/or unsure if counseling is the best option for their well-being.

Corinne Nechalova

Feeling stuck in old patterns? Struggling to shake past trauma or navigate overwhelming changes? Experiencing a loss of direction, out of proportion reactions and broken self trust? Sick of those mean story tellers in your head? I understand. I work with people who care deeply—sometimes too much ;) Those who worry, who struggle in relationships, who want change but feel blocked at every turn. If that sounds like you, I’m here to help you move through the obstacles and toward the life you want.

Tamara Statz

My clients are often either grieving, caring for a parent or spouse, or experiencing their own chronic or terminal illness. Many of my clients are adult children caring for an aging parent. Oftentimes I help families have hard conversations about end-of-life decisions and potential moves into residential long-term care. It's true, there is always something more pleasant to talk about. And these conversations need to happen, too.

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.

Online Therapy

I will help you nurture your relationship with yourself and with others. If you are grieving a loss, we will process and heal that together. You are not alone!
