Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Minnesota covered by Aetna

Hello,

I'm Michelle. Licensed Therapist and Conscious Coach in Minnesota, with 30 years of professional work experience assisting clients with motivation, self-esteem, confidence, anxiety, depression, career difficulties, coping with life changes, as well as personal, executive & professional coaching. I am skilled with self-care, meditation, journaling, and other forms of inner discovery to create the life you desire.

I work with adults of all ages who struggle with emotional regulation, spiraling thoughts, high stress, significant life changes/losses that impact personal wellbeing, home life, career, relationships/divorce, education, etc

Making the decision to seek help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking this first step! My practice is person-centered and grounded in values of empathy, compassion, and resilience. I strive for my clients to feel heard and validated. I feel strongly that prioritizing mental health is a cornerstone of self care; you cannot take care of anyone else if you don't take care of yourself first.

I value the work I do and invite you to take a chance towards healing.

Hello! I'm glad you're here. I believe in the healing power of therapy and would be honored to be a part of your journey. I am licensed as a clinical social worker and have been working as a therapist for the past three years, primarily with adolescents, adults and families. My specific treatment areas include mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, and ADHD.

Hello, I’m Shelia Ransom Jenkins, MSW, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach to therapy, creating a safe space where individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered.

I hold a Master of Social Work and a Master of Science in Criminal Justice, and my professional background includes work in community mental health, educational settings, and clinical leadership roles. I have experience helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship and family conflict, behavioral concerns, life transitions, and stress related to work, school, and personal growth. I also have specialized training in perinatal mental health, supporting individuals experiencing postpartum depression and related mood disorders.

My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based interventions, tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, practical, and rooted in trust.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult transition, or seeking deeper self-understanding, my goal is to support you with empathy, clarity, and encouragement as you work toward healing and lasting change.

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 6+ years of working with both individuals and couples. I work to create an atmosphere free of judgement while trying to be as direct as possible.

With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.

I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

We are all given a deck of cards that are not of our choosing. When it comes to therapy, I believe we can all play our cards to the best of our ability, when taught the skills needed to succeed. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I have been providing therapy for over 5 years. My specialties in the last 2 years have focused on individuals of all ages with OCD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and BFRB's. I also have experience with time management, substance abuse, grief, career choices, and identity development.

When a child, teen, or family is struggling, it can affect every part of daily life. You may be noticing emotional changes, behavioral challenges, increased conflict at home, difficulties at school, or a growing sense that something just doesn't feel right. It can be hard to know how to help, especially when the strategies that once worked no longer seem effective. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, OCD, eating disorders, and behavioral concerns. Many of the families I support are looking for practical solutions while also wanting to strengthen communication and connection. My goal is to create a supportive space where children, teens, and families feel understood, build on their strengths, and develop healthier patterns that promote resilience and long-term emotional well-being.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Counseling from Adler Graduate School, and I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I provide therapy for children, teens, adults, families, and groups, and I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported. One of the things clients often tell me is that I am authentic, down-to-earth, and easy to connect with. I believe therapy works best when there is a strong, trusting relationship and when clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves.

My clinical work focuses heavily on anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. I also work with individuals navigating grief, substance use concerns, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related symptoms. I use a collaborative, client-centered approach and tailor treatment to each individual’s needs, goals, and strengths.
