Female Therapists in Rosemount, MN

I once heard, "everything you want is on the other side of fear." Therapy can help bridge the gap of where you would like to be and where you are. I collaborate with clients to identify goals and address barriers to change. I have Masters degrees in both Counseling and Psychological Services and in Clinical Psychology (with a trauma focus) and am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have been working in the mental health field for the past 20 years in various capacities including community mental health, residential treatment, crisis counseling, and individual therapy.

The world can feel like a lonely place when you struggle with feelings of anxiety and depression. Maybe what you are feeling can’t be explained and no one knows how you feel. People have told you to "just get over" things that have hurt you or to suck it up when you feel low. Maybe you were never taught how to express the way you feel emotionally and if you did, you were dismissed. If this is the case, know you are not alone there are people out there that feel the same as you do. There is hope in therapy. There is a safe place to be validated to be heard.

In our rapidly changing world, the demands for adaptability intensify, amplifying stress and challenges. I blend cutting-edge neuroscience insights and holistic strategies to build resilience and navigate the complexities of life. I serve professionals from diverse sectors including science, medicine, business, technology, government, academia, spirituality and creative fields. I offer customized approaches to achieving personal growth & healing, family harmony and excellence in performance. My goal is to provide transformational experiences to empower strength, resilience and well-being.

In life there are many things that create a sense of being stuck, something that prevents us from moving forward and living our best lives. Whether it is childhood trauma, trauma that occurred later in life, or transitions that are difficult to navigate, people often times need support in managing their symptoms. By rewiring the brain, we can find ourselves feeling less reactive and more responsive to the day to day stressors of our lives.

Are you finding yourself struggling with anxiety, irritability or overwhelming stress? You may be noticing that it is difficult for you to move forward following a distressing life experience and overwhelming emotions are keeping you from functioning at your highest potential. Sometimes past experiences, such as bullying or childhood abuse, can linger in the background manifesting as performance anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelming anger or frustration.

I have been in the counseling and psychology field for the past 20 years. I know that it is difficult to ask for help. However, people sometimes need additional support beyond their family and friends. I work with, adults and adolescents that experience low self-esteem, relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, addiction, trauma, and have trouble regulating their emotions. If you are a parent looking for services for your child, I am a registered play therapist and I will work with your child to resolve fears, worries, sadness, and build healthy esteem and assist you in providing on-going support to your child.

Kristine is a licensed clinical social worker with over twenty years of experience working with pregnant and postpartum parents. Nurturing Roots Mental Health was created to provide supportive, attuned perinatal mental health care with a personal approach. We believe therapy should be a calming space where you can breathe, feel, think and nurture the whole person just as you are.

The struggle is real! As a licensed professional clinical counselor, I work with children/teens and adults individually, and strive to provide my clients a safe, open space where they can feel at ease to begin the therapeutic process. I aim to meet all my clients where they are at & provide unconditional positive regard for each unique experience that is brought to the table. Seeking out help is a sign of strength, & I work with my clients to develop healthy strategies to manage the challenges they are faced with. With training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, I help my clients regain their sense of power over their lives.

My focus is on supporting children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with mental health issues as well as those going through life transitions. I am familiar with the challenges that students face, both socially and academically. I enjoy helping those who would like to work through their challenges with ADHD, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, relationship issues and mood disorders.

My formal education and clinical training happened later in life. But my experience in youth and individual counseling began over 12 years ago. My position as a mother, grandmother and wife gives me a perspective of over 32 years of life experience and empathy. My natural inclination to simply embrace, enjoy, and accept people without judgment, has prepared and enabled me to open of avenues of connection with a diverse client base. I believe that every client has the skill to heal and just needs some guidance and support. I am experienced in working with Individuals, Family, Couples and teens.

There are things the world throws at us that we can’t always change, and we know cookie-cutter approaches to health and wellness don’t always work. We provide care designed to address the root cause and to sustain growth and well-being. We believe that the mind-body connection is essential to life-long health and we are committed to teaching you how to be well for a lifetime – not just for now.

Seeking support can be a nerve-wracking experience, but with the right provider it doesn’t have to be. I am a doctoral-level psychologist dedicated to providing compassionate, person-centered care to people of all ages. I have over 15 years of experience using a variety of therapeutic styles to meet the individual needs of each client, couple, or family I treat. While I utilize evidence-based treatments including EMDR, CBT, IFS, and DBT therapies, I strongly believe that treatment must be tailored to each client’s needs. I also believe that a strong, supportive therapeutic relationship with one’s provider is the key to success.

I absolutely adore working with people who are ready to face the things in life keeping them stuck and walking alongside them in the journey of getting to where they want to be. Whether it's interpersonal challenges with friends, family, or partners, professional transitions, identity shifts, or anything in between, I'm here for it! My ideal client is someone who is excited (even if a little nervous..) about the journey of therapy, regardless of why they are starting or re-starting, and are open to direct and honest conversation, practicing skills between sessions, and doing the incredible work of shifting toward intentional living.

I have worked in inpatient, outpatient and group settings. My most recent outpatient setting has been focused in trauma informed care. A major focus in my work has been trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and with those who have experienced domestic violence. I have come to love the outpatient setting where those who are engaging in treatment are ready to do the work and reach their goals. Together we become partners in building your life in a way that matches your values.

Helping you heal and reach your full potential is both a blessing and a privilege. Offering you a healing process filled with compassion, authenticity, warmth, and a non judgmental attitude is my priority. My offering: A healing process that helps you to discover and understand how unresolved painful experiences from the past keep impacting your present thoughts, needs, feelings and behaviors. Developing skills to become aware of these, will allow you to have a more loving relationship with ALL the parts of yourself. As a result, more meaningful relationships and deeper connections with others will follow.

My hope is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable space for individuals that come to my office or meet with me over telehealth. I specialize in working with people affected by trauma, depression, anxiety, phobias, relationships concerns, panic, shame, and issues related to self-worth. I welcome clients from all walks of life (ethnicity, race, religion, gender identity, and sexual orientation). My approach focuses on exploring individual strengths and challenges with sensitivity, compassion, and curiosity. I believe that you are the expert on your life and needs.
