With my guidance, the young women and moms that work with me develop a deep well of confidence and self-trust so they can break cycles that have not been working for them, build the life they want, and be the person they want to be for themselves and the people they love.
You want to love your life, but it doesn’t look the way you expected it to. Deep down you are struggling and you want help figuring it all out. The shadow side of life that we keep to ourselves is oftentimes fringed with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, comparison, lack of direction, fear, low self-esteem, and self-criticism. These are all protective mechanisms that your mind developed to keep you safe and functional as you were growing up to help you navigate your life and relationships. Now, as an adult, these protective mechanisms may be doing more harm than good for you.

Movement and contemplation are medicine. The combination of exercise and mindfulness reduces over-thinking and depressive symptoms while improving sleep. This is why I practice Movement Therapy. There is a well-established scientific link between our well-being and how physically active we are. When we are moving, we release endorphins to increase our mood and lower stress. Movement Therapy incorporates mindfulness, yoga, and running or walking so you can live a happier and healthier life. Our sessions together will help you work through your feelings in a natural and restorative way.

Hello! My name is Kristina Brummund. I am a graduate of Minnesota State University, Mankato, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I have been working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families since 2004. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my primary modality of therapy; however, I also believe that when our mental health suffers not only does our mind struggle but so does our body and soul, thus a whole-person approach is necessary. I integrate mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation as a way to calm our nervous system and re-center ourselves.

Stacey Tweedt, MA, LPCC, LADC-S; When we give our power away/have it taken away it creates a vacuum & we may feel compelled to fill it somehow (surrendering to others, losing ourselves in relationships, addictions or dysfunctional /sabotaging behaviors). This all prevents a major human function from happening, feeling the truth of ALL our feelings and because people either process or project their experiences, they will continue to experience similar situations, until resolved. Both men & women, may have been shamed away from feelings (sometimes through violence, abuse or neglect) either by families or culture, which needs to stop.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
