Hello, I’m Dr. Stella Essien, Welcome!

As a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner (FNP & PMHNP), I have a passion for compassionate, equitable, and accessible mental health care practice that brings evidence-based, person-centered services to individuals and families across Minnesota.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, or addiction recovery, depression, or stress, I am here to support your path forward with warmth, professionalism, and purpose.

When anxiety, depression, or painful life experiences begin affecting your relationships, confidence, and ability to enjoy everyday life, it's easy to feel like you're simply trying to make it through each day. You may be carrying emotional pain that's become difficult to manage on your own, wondering if life can feel lighter again. Healing is possible, and you don't have to navigate those challenges alone. I specialize in helping clients work through anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma, and family issues so they can feel more emotionally balanced, strengthen their relationships, and regain confidence in themselves and their future. I work with adults because I believe every person deserves a compassionate, judgment free space where they feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a clinical psychologist and licensed alcohol and drug counselor. I specialize in treating social anxiety and trauma, especially in neurodivergent teens and adults. Loneliness and social exhaustion are not acceptable because we are all made for love and community. Ongoing disconnection can cause despair. Addictions of all kinds frequently develop as a way to cope. I can treat anyone with these problems, but I would be an especially good match for those who know or suspect that their struggles may be related to late-identified autism, ADHD, or dyslexia.

Hello, I’m Therese. I work with adults who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted by patterns that no longer feel manageable.

I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, chronic illness, and concerns related to eating disorders or disordered eating patterns.

I also have lots of experience helping people to live tobacco and/or nicotine free!

My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental.

I strive to create a calm, safe space where you can speak openly and feel understood.

If you are looking for someone who listens deeply, values connection, and takes a thoughtful, whole-person approach, I would be honored to support you.

Life can become heavy in ways that are difficult to explain. You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying grief that no one fully understands, recovering from painful experiences, or simply wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore. Sometimes you've spent so much time caring for others that you've lost touch with your own needs.

I believe therapy is a place to slow down, get curious, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked or burdened by life's experiences. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a warm, accepting space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported as we uncover your strengths and move toward a more meaningful and connected life.

I have been an expressive person since I was little. I used art for peace, comfort, and joy before I knew art therapy even existed. You can create art to express and understand, no need to be an artist (or "good at it"), to make art for therapy.

I went to school for Studio Arts (B.S.) and returned for my master's degree in Art Therapy, both at Florida State University.

I worked with special populations, a prior CTSS and ARMHS worker (in-home) before working (currently) in a group practice.

I find visual art offers other opportunities to view both the problem and the solution. It allows other perspectives to prompt ways to talk about whatever you are working through.

I have many trainings and use other modalities (CBT, DBT, ACT, AIR Network, ERP) under the art therapy umbrella.

My training in extensively in trauma (Clinically Certified Trauma Professional), ADHD, ASD, Anxiety, Depression, Eating issues, BiPolar, Gender Affirming, Panic, OCD, and Health issues as well as co-morbid conditions.

Sometimes we just end up talking and that's okay too.
