I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) & Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) with over 18 years of experience in mental health. My work is rooted in compassion, practicality, and a belief that therapy should be an empowering journey—not a lifelong commitment. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and seniors who experience ADHD, chronic illness & mind-body disconnect. I also integrate mental health and nutrition into my approach and provide grief-informed care. Additionally I work with high performers in the Business Leadership & Athletics realm.
I want you to know that therapy is a safe space where you can be yourself. There’s no judgment here—just a commitment to helping you feel more in control of your life and well-being.
Maybe you've had enough of feeling bad and you're ready to do something about it. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), and I've been a counselor since 1990. I started in rehabilitation counseling for people with brain injuries, saw how little mental health support they had, and went back to school to provide it. Since then, I've worked in schools, jails, methadone treatment, and employee assistance programs. Today, my practice focuses on individuals, teens, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and substance use.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist with experience in individual and group therapy since 2017. My approach is trauma-informed, empowering, and client-centered, tailored to meet the unique needs of adults, children, and families. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, which help clients develop healthier thought patterns, reframe their personal stories, and enhance motivation for change.
With experience supporting individuals facing severe and persistent mental health challenges, as well as those with sexually maladaptive behaviors, I create a safe and supportive space for healing and personal growth. Since opening my private practice in 2023, I have been committed to helping clients build resilience, navigate life’s challenges, and improve their overall well-being.
If you’re looking for a compassionate therapist dedicated to fostering healing and transformation, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
Hi, I'm Kim. I'm a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. As an immigrant and bilingual professional, I understand that life's transitions can bring unexpected challenges, uncertainty, and feelings of being caught between different expectations or versions of yourself. I know how difficult it can be to ask for help when you're used to carrying so much on your own.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, authentic, and nonjudgmental. I want you to feel comfortable showing up as you are, without pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, recognize the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build on the strengths you already have. I believe growth doesn't mean having all the answers; it means learning to navigate life's challenges with greater self-awareness, confidence, and self-compassion.
In our work together, I'll combine empathy with practical, evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs and goals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, difficult life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself, my goal is to help you develop healthier coping skills, strengthen your relationships, and create meaningful change. You don't have to figure everything out on your own. Therapy can be a place to pause, reconnect with yourself, and take steps toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
As a therapist, I take a client-centered, genuine, collaborative approach to the client’s needs and goals. I have over 19 years of experience with significant experience helping adult clients (18+) work through anxiety, mood disorders (depression/bipolar disorder), sexual addictions/offenses, trauma, grief/loss, men and women's issues, and general life stressors/transitions (work, relationships, parenting, etc).
I am a holder of a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Minnesota and a highly results-oriented multicultural therapist with over 10 years of experience. The value I bring to therapy is building a strong therapeutic relationship with my client. I have the skills, knowledge, and ability that are required as a therapist to gather comprehensive information during an assessment, which my client and I will utilize collaboratively to develop a supportive treatment plan and coping skills for the client to implement when their mental health symptoms exacerbate. I have excellent verbal and written communication skills, and a good Knowledge of cultural differences.
My experience as a social worker, herbalist, and therapist has convinced me of the following about humans:
- we thrive on connection
- our bodies are trying to tell us what we need, we just need to learn how to listen
- connecting to nature is paramount to a high-quality, lasting healing journey
- we ALL can experience joy and live in our highest being
My background/focuses in integrative mental health (connecting the mind and body's wellness), trauma work, nature therapy, and spirituality guide our work together. I love working with folks who are ready to dive a little deeper, find purpose and meaning in life, and rewrite their story.
Hello, my name is Heather Liebswager. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor who specializes in healing trauma in children, adolescents, and adults. I use a person-centered approach in my therapeutic relationship: you set the pace to our sessions while I guide, interpret, support, and challenge you. I believe in welcoming all the various parts of you including the exiled, judged, shamed, inner-child parts of you to the session so that you can understand yourself more fully.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or past trauma? Do you want to sharpen your mindset, improve relationships, find emotional peace, strengthen habits or deepen your spiritual life?
Hi, I’m Jacob Templeton. I bring experience from 15 years in mental health, including 9+ years of clinical counseling. I've worked with diverse clients, including many first responders. Whether you’re navigating a tough season or pursuing growth, I’d be honored to help you create lasting change.
I am Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about providing compassionate, patient-centered care. I am known for being friendly, personable, and highly relatable, I focus on building strong connections with those I serve. I love to educate and empower the clients I work with.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with focus, or experiencing anxiety, mood changes, or difficulty finding balance, you're not alone—and the right support can make a meaningful difference.
I am a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. My clinical experience includes treating ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, sleep disorders, and eating disorders.
Because of my dual certification, I approach care with the understanding that mental and physical health are deeply interconnected. When both are addressed together, individuals are better able to achieve stability, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.
My practice combines clinical expertise, careful observation, and evidence-based guidelines to create individualized treatment plans. I strive to provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care in an environment where patients feel heard, supported, and respected.
