Please Note: As we address the global challenge of COVID-19, I have expanded my availability and moved all sessions online. If you are in Minnesota or Colorado, reach out and we can talk about getting started online for therapy. You're here because something about sex has been a concern for months, or maybe as long as you can remember. You wonder "will it always be this way? Is it even possible to feel good?" It can be lonely and overwhelming to feel disconnected from sexuality. It can cause a rift in your relationships, trickle into your work, and your general ability to relax. I'm here to help you discover, heal, and renew erotic pleasure. You want to feel good about who you are and connected to the people you care about. You want to feel free from past hurt and trauma. You want sex to be safe, pleasure-filled, and dare I say...fun! You deserve to have a smile on your face when you think about sex and the most intimate connections in your life. As a certified sex therapist, I specialize in helping people heal from sexual trauma, strengthen intimate relationships, and cultivate erotic pleasure. At the end of the day, there's nothing more important in life than meaningful connections. Visit my website to learn about my holistic approach to finding healing and pleasure.

Hello! My practice is focused on complex, chronic mental health challenges, especially borderline personality and chronic depression (dysthymia). The clients I work with often grapple with isolation, mood instability, a nagging sense of emptiness, and recurring relationship struggles. Substance use may be present, but is rarely the core issue. Many have tried therapy before, and have perhaps found some benefit, but remain skeptical about whether it can truly bring the change they seek. My goal is to help you identify deep patterns that have subtly narrowed your options in life, challenge and overcome these patterns, connect more easily with others, and generally feel more at home in the world. I have been fortunate enough to train in mentalization-based treatment and schema therapy, both of which have been recognized as evidence-based treatments for complex, chronic mental health problems. I work to provide a safe, supportive, and inquisitive environment in which you can share your experiences, feel heard, and try out new ways of understanding yourself and relating to others.

At different times in one's life, painful feelings such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem may be present. Life stressors, complicated interpersonal relationships and more can overpower one's coping resources. At this time, seeking help in the form of therapy can be beneficial. Are you interested in moving beyond feelings of sadness and worry? Are you looking to create more meaningful relationships in your life? Are you seeking more meaning and purpose in your life? If so, counseling can be helpful in starting on this journey. I view therapy as a collaborative endeavor and work to create a warm and supportive space in which my clients feel safe to explore difficult concerns. I bring engaged listening, thoughtful questions and an outside perspective to the therapeutic relationship. I work with my clients to identify hopes and goals for the process of therapy. Based on these identified goals, I choose tools and techniques that I believe would be beneficial. I bring a humanistic/client-centered orientation to therapy and incorporate mind-body, interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral approaches in my work.

I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults who are currently feeling the anxiety, overwhelm and pressure that come with this stage of life. Teenagers and young adults who feel the overwhelm and stress that comes with trying to be perfect and fitting into everything that comes with this age range, I am the therapist for you. With deep understanding, I hold hope that meaningful change is possible whether through individual, group or family therapy. Together we'll explore what might be underneath the withdrawal, burnout or shutdown response that comes with this pressure. We'll uncover patterns and build insight around what may no longer be working for you. From there, we'll create a practical plan with real tools to help you, your teen or young adult feel more confident.

Hi, I'm Courtney. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in relationship issues, self-esteem and communication. I'm about helping you discover your true self so you are more confident and self-assured so you're able to thrive in relationships with everyone around you. In session, we'll learn how past behaviors, traumas, and relationships influence your current situation. We'll increase your insight into your own personality and how it aligns (or doesn't) with your partners. We'll dive deep into your own expectations of others, and how it influences your choices. We'll increase your communication skills, specifically focusing on being more open and assertive. We'll make sure your relationships with family, friends, and partners are equal by decreasing your people-pleasing tendencies and increasing boundaries.

We are an online counseling group therapy practice where you can receive the mental health treatment you deserve from your comfy surroundings! We offer phone and video counseling, on your time.

Hello I am Nicole Wiley and I hold an Independent Social Worker License with Supervisor designation (LISW-S) from the State of OH, an Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Minnesota, and a Certified Social Worker in Health Care Certification from the National Association of Social Work (NASW), with 18 years experience.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Amanda Tieri, and I’ve been a social worker for over 15 years. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging and most meaningful moments. My work has taken place primarily in healthcare settings, where I’ve supported people of all ages and backgrounds as they navigate illness, loss, transitions, and healing. What I’ve learned over the years is that every person’s story matters. Whether you’re seeking therapy for the first time or returning to it after some time away, I want you to know that this is a space where you will be heard, respected, and supported without judgment. My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a deep belief in your capacity for growth. I bring not only clinical experience but also a genuine curiosity about who you are and what matters most to you.

I enjoy working with seekers willing to engage in a journey to further self-discovery, and who have a practice (i.e. arts, spiritual, physical)--or seek to have a practice--that guides them.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or tired of carrying emotional burdens on your own, you're not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone. Life can bring seasons of struggle, but healing is possible. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, addiction, or simply seeking clarity and direction, I see you. You deserve a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My approach to therapy is rooted in faith, empathy, and trust. I believe in walking alongside you with compassion while also helping you stay accountable to your goals. Using evidence-based modalities, I support individuals navigating both Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and build the tools you need. With consistent support and honest feedback, clients often find new clarity, emotional resilience, and renewed purpose. I believe you can be healed and grow into your full potential. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’m here to help.

The best mental health care occurs when the patient's needs are prioritized and deeply integrated into the treatment plan. Whether you're dealing with anxious thoughts, phobias, learning difficulties, physical symptoms tied to mental health, depression, grief, or feeling like a dark cloud is always blocking out your light, help is available. By creating a judgment-free environment that fosters safe and open communication, we’ll work together to carefully assess your or your loved one’s unique situation and develop the most effective care plan. I believe the key to addressing many unwanted feelings and behaviors lies in combining holistic and pharmacological approaches, including modifying one's environment, engaging in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and using medications to address chemical imbalances in the brain. As your provider, I will work diligently to create a personalized medication plan that alleviates your challenges while minimizing tolerable side effects. Additionally, using evidence-based measurement tools, we can track treatment effectiveness and make necessary adjustments along the way.

If you're here because your past traumas are creeping up on you, what you show the world doesn't align with what's on the inside, or your anxiety/depression has depleted you---I want to work with you. You might be someone who has a hard time asking for help, so the fact that you're even thinking about getting it is a big step. You don't have to keep feeling the way you are. Sometimes, we just need a therapist to guide us along our path to feeling better. I want you to feel equipped to handle life’s ever-changing ups and downs, and to be able to do it with a sense of purpose, stability, and self-awareness. I work best with clients who are young professionals (in their 20's-30's) or youth (10 and up). They're ready for real change. Clients who are a good fit for me might come to therapy because they have a hard time calming down, feel trapped by their traumas, struggle with perfectionism, or are just feeling like something is missing in their lives. My style of therapy is warm and nonjudgmental. We'll come together to look at how the present is intertwined with your past, and find ways that work for you to cope. When it comes to trauma, I don't believe you need to even fully remember it to heal from it. If you need help but don't know what questions to ask, that's ok! Reach out for a free consultation.

Hey--I'm Julie. I offer therapy that focuses on what matters to you and making changes that matter to you. Whether you're a queer or trans person fighting to be seen & heard on your terms, or in a relationship hijacked by conflict & pain, or your struggling to keep up with *all the things*, I can help. My specialty is asking questions that open pathways to your preferred tomorrow. I don't do lengthy and intrusive "intakes." I'm ready for the conversation you want to have. I'm also a professor--I teach at the University of Minnesota in the Youth Studies program. I know how sucky & stressful it is to juggle school w/other responsibilities. I know that some of you may be: precariously housed; living with food insecurity; facing the violence of racism, homo-and transphobia, white nationalist threats, sexism, and other oppressive systems; and/or squeaking by on poverty wages. That's all stuff that f*cks with you and we can find ways together to stand up and reclaim your life. Read more at my website, www.2stories.com, or give me a call/shoot me an email and I'll be happy to answer your questions about meeting together. In solidarity, Julie

I offer collaborative, compassionate, culturally-informed care tailored to you. Whether you're navigating life transitions, feeling held back by your emotions, or seeking self-understanding to move forward, I will help you build on your strengths to achieve your therapy goals. Schedule a free 15-min phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Sometimes you feel out of place, like you can't connect to other people. Your life might appear "normal" but you can't seem to enjoy it. You may feel alone, like nobody else understands, and might wish you could be more present for your kids/work/partner/family. While you have experienced trauma, pain, loss, hardship, or addiction, you are ready to take hold of your future. If you are looking to break free of a painful past that has you chained in your present, you have found the right place. Thrive clients are women who have struggled, felt alone, and are exhausted. They are people who want support in moving forward. I am genuine, honest, upfront and interactive, and emphasize the importance of our connection for your healing. I treat trauma through the lens of mind/body connection. I primarily use EMDR, which bridges the trauma stored in your body/mind/spirit to allow healing, CBT, which helps you identify and replace unhealthy thoughts, and DBT to teach coping skills. There will be no stuffy office space, writing notes under the gaze of judging eyes, or a long couch...promise! I'll be the supportive ear that puts your butt in gear! You will laugh, cry and heal. You can book your free 10-minute phone consult or first session here (or call or email): https://thriveforlife.clientsecure.me *$165/session via telehealth*
