I believe that you are the expert in your own life. Oftentimes people seek therapy as a way to cope with difficult environments, navigating a complex and rapidly changing world without the support they need to overcome obstacles. I have worked with disenfranchised folks most of my life - many impacted by systems involvement, lack of access to services, homelessness, and intimate partner violence. Past clients have shared they genuinely appreciate having a helping professional who meets them where they are at in life, supports them in achieving realistic goals, and keeps dignity, respect and honesty at the forefront of the work.
As a licensed clinical psychotherapist with a background in personal training, I take an integrative approach to care that considers mental, physical, and emotional well-being. My work is grounded in helping clients build stability, resilience, and a greater sense of balance in their lives.
I primarily work with male clients from late adolescence through adulthood who are navigating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, body image concerns, and substance use. I aim to provide a structured, supportive environment where clients can better understand their experiences and develop effective, evidence-based strategies for change.
Trauma can affect every part of a person’s life — relationships, confidence, trust, safety, and the way you see yourself. I specialize in supporting women who are healing from childhood trauma, PTSD, adoption-related experiences, racial identity concerns, and other painful life experiences that may still be impacting them today.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel seen, supported, and never judged. I believe healing should feel personal, collaborative, and empowering. Together, we’ll work to understand what you’ve been carrying, identify what you need to feel more grounded, and build practical tools that support real growth. You do not have to navigate this alone — your healing matters, and your story deserves care.
Hi, I am so glad you found me here today, and are taking the next step! I’m KrisAnn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 20 years of experience supporting individuals and couples navigating cancer, chronic illness, grief, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. I founded Curveball Counseling to offer a steady, compassionate space where people can make sense of what they’re going through and regain their sense of stability and direction.
My professional background includes extensive work in oncology and medical settings, where I’ve supported patients, caregivers, and families through some of life’s most uncertain seasons. Alongside my clinical training, these experiences shaped my deep respect for the resilience people carry—even when they feel overwhelmed.
Welcome - I am so happy you're here. I graduated with my Masters degree in Clinical Social Work from The College of St. Scholastica in 2019 and have been working in the mental health field for 7 years. Whether you're navigating stress, relationships, or personal growth, my goal is to ensure you feel seen and empowered. My role is to walk alongside you as you discover new perspectives, strengths, and possibilities.
Hello! I have 15 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, and trauma in various work settings. I specialize in trauma, ADHD and Perinatal Mental Health. I am trained in EMDR and am very passionate about continuing to learn all I can in these areas.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions.
My career has included work in schools, outpatient counseling centers, and hospital settings, where I supported individuals facing mood disorders, addiction, and psychosis. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—and bring a broad, real-world perspective to my practice.
As a certified trainer in trauma-informed care, I use practical, effective tools to help you better understand your emotional responses, regulate stress, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, shift patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Clients often tell me that our work together helps them feel less overwhelmed, more self-aware, and better able to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.
Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:
"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once
"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"
"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."
"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."
Hello! It is nice to "meet you."
I have been a licensed clinical counselor for 8 years and worked in the field for close to 20. I have worked with people ranging from 7-60 struggling with life challenges and transitions, neurodiversity, including autism and ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders and grief.
Taking that initial step into therapy can be daunting. Sharing your story is a vulnerable position no doubt, and I am proud of you for even making the decision to seek help. Because I know how much courage this takes, I absolutely promise to honor you and walk alongside of you as you work towards your goals in counseling. In addition to helping individuals with anxiety and depression, I am certified in dialectical behavior therapy and practice accelerated resolution therapy. I also incorporate christian counseling, sand-tray therapy, mindfulness based-therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and incorporate narrative therapy techniques.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Duluth
Searching for therapists in Duluth starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare Duluth therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. A bio can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Duluth is a smaller city, so local appointment options may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Minnesota. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Duluth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review availability, compare bios, and book directly when you are ready.
