Thank you for taking the time to visit this page. I hope what you find here feels right for you. Everyone has basic human needs such as being heard and understood, affirmed, included, loved, and safe. These are met through healthy relationships with the world around us and form the foundation of our personal health and well-being. In meeting our needs, our behavior is purposeful, and no one sets out to fail. Therapy is a process of discovery, or re-discovery, of how to be our best selves and achieve a more satisfying, fulfilling, and enriched life.

I love to work with people who are committed to staying engaged in their lives. There can be many roadblocks, both internal and external, that get in the way of full engagement, and I believe that therapy can help when we are in that stuck place. I have a particular interest in issues related to relationship difficulties, traumatic experiences, stress management, and identity development. Additionally, I believe that relational health is inseparable from individual mental health and I love to work with couples or individuals about relationship issues.

As someone who understands how difficult it can be to reach out for support and receive it, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for my clients. As a therapist, my aim is to facilitate my clients' personal growth and transformation by providing a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can explore their feelings and experiences. Though I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches, I primarily operate from a person-centered approach that recognizes the potential for self-healing and growth in each individual. This approach is focused on creating a strong therapeutic relationship based on empathy and congruence

As a therapist, I seek to join my clients in the creative process of therapy, to come up with helpful solutions to ease their struggles and bring more joy back into their lives. We walk together through the fog in search of pockets of sunshine. I strive to not only see my clients’ emotional health, but also their physical, spiritual, and relational health, looking to each for clues that might hold healing. I am innately curious, compassionate, and focused on my clients’ strengths.

Our world is complex and navigating it can feel overwhelming. The only constant is change and sometimes it can be hard to know what’s next. Is it any surprise that we sometimes get stuck? I work with couples, individuals, and families and help them work through difficult times by creating new paths.

Hi! My name is Zoё. I am a pre-licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. Life is filled with challenges and you don't have to go it alone. When we work together, you can expect a safe place where you will be heard and validated, a place where you are comfortable exploring your strengths, building resilience, becoming empowered, and finding balance. I believe healing happens in safe spaces. I also understand that people are more than the problems they are experiencing. I support and guide individuals, couples, families, and adolescents who are navigating life’s challenges.

Welcome to NSMHS! We offer therapy services for adults and teens wanting to explore a deeper part of themselves and who are ready to create a more full and meaningful life.

Our journey through life can be difficult and scary. As a therapist and as a human being, I want you to feel welcomed, safe, and heard. I value the importance of creating a non-judgemental, open space where everyone can share their vulnerabilities, struggles, resiliency, and stories. Everyone has their own unique story. Our stories are what makes us who we are. You are truly the expert of your own life, and I will walk alongside you, listen with empathy, and meet you where you are at. You do not have to face it alone.

"Tomorrow, you promise yourself, will be different, yet, tomorrow is too often a repetition of today." James T. Mccay. Research has repeatedly shown that the single largest factor impacting treatment outcomes is not a provider's treatment methodology or theoretical orientation, but rather the quality of a client's relationship with their individual provider. Consequently I work with each client to design a carefully researched yet highly customized program that fits their unique needs. I am able to form a realistic plan for improving their life situation that brings about improvement in their symptoms quickly.

I love working with teens and adults who are looking to make positive changes in their lives and are ready to heal from a variety of issues, including trauma exposure, PTSD, depression, anxiety, or family and relational issues. I think the relationship between therapist and client is the basis for healing and progress in therapy.

I work with clients by offering psychotherapy integrated with art-making and/or evidence-based practices (CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness). Together, we creatively explore your feelings, thoughts, relationships, and set goals. Treatment can address: anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, relationships, or other stress-related issues. Past traumas and adverse events create negative self-beliefs that are maladaptive and impact each of us presently. Through a non-judgmental and compassionate lens, I hope to work with you and begin the process of healing creatively.

Throughout my career I have prioritized a person centered approach with a focus on promoting resilience, empowering people, and fostering a positive and inclusive therapeutic environment. I truly believe in the power of building strong therapeutic alliances and creating space for individuals to explore their emotions and navigate life's complexities. I have worked with all ages, while more recently primarily late teen years through late adulthood, and I have a passion for working with people who identify as female and folks within the LGBTQ+ community. I value non judgmental care and open communication as well as body positivity.

If you are looking for relational therapy and are committed to improving your romantic/sexual relationship(s), be that with one partner or multiple partners, you have come to the right place. I help identify patterns that keep everyone stuck and work with partners to make positive changes, shifting to more enjoyable and meaningful dynamics. I can guide the process of opening up a relationship or navigating multiple relationships. I can also assist in finding a more fulfilling sex life! People I work with are frequently part of sexual minority communities, including the LGBTQ+, BDSM, and kink communities.

My name is Eve and I am a licensed therapist (LPCC) in Minnesota and Wisconsin. In today’s world, many of us can often feel alone, isolated, and overwhelmed. It takes courage and strength to reach out for support and connection. I am here to support you in navigating challenging times. You can expect an authentic safe space to feel heard, validated, and understood. I have worked with clients in a wide range of concerns and enjoy working with individuals, couples and families.

Life demands tremendous effort and intention to navigate; but good mental health does not have to be a mystery. You may experience depression, anxiety, worry, struggles with relationships, substance use, and feel burdened by life. However, your life can be changed in a profound way to help you achieve balance. Perhaps you don't know what direction your life is headed, or are stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns. Perhaps you already have relative balance but feel an urgent need to deepen your understanding of yourself?

My assumption about most people who seek out a therapist is they are stuck in a situation and have already tried everything they can think of to get unstuck. My approach is pragmatic, non-judgmental, and client-centered. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and polycules to develop new skills that will empower them to move towards the lives they want to live. I am a total nerd about therapy and love the creativity of tailoring therapeutic approaches to clients.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families with all types of relationship and mental health issues. All of us bring positive and negative aspects of ourselves into our relationships and our work. I often find that people get stuck using behaviors or having expectations that may have worked well in past situations, such as childhood or previous relationships, but do not work well in their current situation. Often the goal in therapy is to identify what is and what is not working, and then build healthy and effective thoughts and behaviors.

I work with adults, couples, and families who face challenges related to their personal, professional, or familial circumstances. Many of my clients have found improvement through discovering balance, finding confidence, and healing from previous painful experiences. Our work will focus on improving your ability to manage difficult situations and emotions, processing and learning from previous experiences of all kinds, and learning constructive new ways of interacting with others and the world around you. I have experience working with a variety people of varying racial, sexual, political, and religious identities.
