Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Saint Paul, MN

Jessica Reilly is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker providing individual psychotherapy to adults with Anxiety, ADHD, and disordered eating. With knowledge of the complex interplay between ADHD, disordered eating, and distorted body image, treatment emphasis includes the exploration of the emotional relationship with food, body image, and self-acceptance. Often the myriad of symptoms experienced by her clients with ADHD are co-occuring with disordered eating when they seek therapy.

Much of my work is centered around gender – from issues surrounding identity exploration, to social/medical transition, to gender dysphoria, to gender-identity-related interpersonal challenges. Some of my favorite work is in helping to bridge the communication gaps between teens and their families after a teen has come out as trans/gender nonconforming! I also have experience with depression, anxiety, substance use, military families, sexuality and sexual health, emetophobia (phobia of vomit), phase-of-life challenges, uncertainty/anxiety about the future, kink/BDSM, and partner conflict/miscommunication.

Jess’s ideal clients are college students and young adults facing anxiety, stress, life transitions, low self-esteem, grief, and depression. Jess invites those in helping professions to consider therapy as well, as she knows firsthand how workplace trauma and compassion fatigue can hijack your relationships, your self-esteem, and overall health. Jess wants you to improve the way you care for yourself while you care for others.

My specialty is with people experiencing a chronic illness or health condition. I also enjoy helping individuals with anxiety and stress, boundaries and communication with family, and significant life stressors. I also work with couples on communication, conflict and life transitions, such as parenthood or with a medical diagnosis in the family.

I believe healing and health is possible for every person. I offer telehealth and in person therapy to address symptoms of disorder eating, ADHD, and anxiety. I start with getting to the root of your issues(s). I help you to create coping skills and healthy strategies for addressing disordered eating, ADHD or anxiety. I offer compassionate, authentic and holistic care so you can feel seen and start to move forward. I while guide you to start making changes to help you feel empowered and have more control in your life. I specialize in emotion focused therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.

Everyone has periods in their life when they struggle, and often there are layers of contributing factors. My goal when working with people in therapy is to help them build their autonomy, whether that means finding ways to peel away the layers, build a toolkit of skills to help manage their symptoms and experiences, or find the meaning behind their struggles and reassign new meaning that works better for them. If you are struggling, or if you would like to know more, please contact me and we can get started! You are a consumer, and if you feel we are not a good fit, I am more than happy to help you find someone who works better!

Through connections we learn about ourselves, others and our world. Sometimes, safe connections and acceptance have been missing in our lives due to neurodivergence, social rejection, abuse or neglect. We may walk through life feeling like outsiders struggling to understand the world and ourselves. In therapy, I work to provide a safe, nurturing place where you can take off your mask and find self compassion, acceptance and healing. I offer trauma informed therapy with collaborative, nonjudgmental support to explore your strengths and manage life's challenges. I use humor, empathy and multiple evidence-based therapy models.

You're feeling tired, anxious, or hopeless. Life has become more than you can handle alone, I'm here for you. My approach to counseling is centered around the relationship between the therapist and the client. You are the expert on your life, and I'm happy to join with you as you navigate it. I bring empathy, honesty, and acceptance to my practice and believe every individual is capable of joy, peace, and change. I am a down-to-earth provider and address a wide range of concerns, including Anxiety, Depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder, family dynamics, academic challenges, stress, self-esteem, communication, and relationships.

Are you looking for healing so that you can connect to your current life in a present and intentional way? Maybe you have some past attachment wounds that need tending to.

I am here to help you hold space for healing and connect to the growth that feels authentic to you.

Hello & welcome. Seeking therapy is a decision of courage and I’m so glad you are exploring this option. I provide therapy to residents of Minnesota, in person & via Telehealth. I love working with a variety of clients, including those struggling to adjust to major life changes, have experienced grief and loss, or are struggling with substance use issues and considering positive steps to improve their health and well-being. Therapy can be hard work, but when a client is motivated for change, I find it very inspiring and a privilege to work collaboratively with these individuals to reach the goals they have identified for themselves.

I have experience working with individuals with anxiety, panic attacks/disorders, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and autism; I also specialize in immigrant and refugee mental health. I utilize several modalities, including ACT and DBT, and I am currently an EMDR therapist in training. I am bilingual and can provide therapy services in Spanish and English, including EMDR therapy. I enjoy working with people ages 10 and older.

My clients can change anxiety, ADHD, autism, or pain with live heart and brain feedback called biofeedback or neurofeedback in online visits. Clients control music volume on their phones with their calm attention levels with free biofeedback equipment I provide. It is easy mindfulness therapy for kids and adults. It is proven to work as well as medication for anxiety, ADHD, and pain. I have years of experience as a therapist, and have taught clinicians at The University of MN Medical Center and elsewhere. Insurance covers this service. To schedule a 20 minute call, click here: https://neurotherapy.intakeq.com/booking

I have nearly 10 years of experience in the mental health field, with careers ranging from community and residential mental health to leading mental health groups in a substance use treatment setting. I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds and experiences. With that, I do not feel as if there is an ideal client, as everyone deserves a therapeutic, trusting relationship.

Are you or a loved one thinking about making a change to your drinking or substance use? I can help. Some of my clients have been in and out of rehab many times and were looking for an alternative-someone with deep expertise who can provide a new way of looking at their problem and identify a pathway out of their suffering. Still other clients came to me because they did not feel that they needed something as intensive as rehab and wanted to work on their substance use while still taking care of their career, family, home and other obligations. I would be honored to be of assistance.

We offer accessible and customized psychology and mental health services provided by our experienced and skilled professionals.

My heart's desire is for everyone to connect with their innate love, joy, and peace. I believe love and joy are always present within us, they are just often hidden under layers of pain and misunderstanding. Together, we can peel back the layers and bring back your vitality. I love to listen and ask questions, which helps clients get clear on who they are, what they want, and where they are going! You are safe to share your complete (sometimes tangled) truth with me. Tears, laughter, growls, and silence are welcome.

Whether you're considering beginning therapy for the first time, continuing or returning to treatment, good for you! You're already taking positive steps to improve your mental health and well-being. I meet clients wherever they are in life and utilize a strengths-based, collaborative approach to help them get to where they would like to be. I support clients in identifying areas in which they may benefit from making changes and help them develop effective skills to do so. My therapeutic style incorporates warmth, humor, and positive regard for the strengths of each individual.

Because I believe we grow and learn throughout our life, I delight in working with all people. I see therapy as a supportive environment created for the purpose of encouraging one another in times of need, as well as joy. I have specialized experience working with children and families, empowering each during tough transitions such as toddlerhood and adolescence, while collaborating during unexpected and challenging issues like ADHD, anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma and more. I utilize play, narrative, feminist, and mindfulness therapies to encourage hope and develop authentic connections with each person I see.

I believe in the power of collaboration and strive to cultivate a strong therapeutic alliance with each client. My approach is grounded in compassion, empathy, and evidence-based practices, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we will work to identify and address barriers to growth, develop coping strategies, and foster resilience. My goal is to empower you to overcome challenges, build meaningful connections, and live a life aligned with your values and goals.
