Hello, my name is Betsy Walter MSW, LICSW.

I use a relational approach to working with adolescence. I am easy to talk to and like to listen.

Hello, my name is Stephanie Koslowski, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota. I bring a lifetime of experience and wisdom to my work and have been counseling people for many years. I have extensive experience serving diverse populations and working with clients from a wide range of cultural, religious, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, including Native American, African American, Asian, and Latino communities.

Throughout my career, I have worked with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship concerns, substance use, and other difficult life experiences. My clinical training included a strong focus on trauma treatment and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and my background includes work in domestic violence services, community mental health, and other social service settings. These experiences have shaped my belief that every person deserves to feel respected, understood, and supported in therapy.

Healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. For over 20 years, I've helped children, teens, adults, and families overcome anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Senior Clinical Supervisor, and first-generation Hmong American, I provide compassionate, culturally responsive care that honors your story and empowers lasting change. Together, we'll build on your strengths, restore hope, and create a path toward healing, resilience, and healthier relationships.

Life can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting, or life transitions, I offer a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered. When you're ready, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

I have been working in the mental health field for the past seven years, with a strong foundation in nursing and psychiatric care. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2019 and began my career on a behavioral health unit, where I gained extensive experience supporting individuals with both acute and chronic mental health conditions.

In 2024, I completed my Master of Science in Nursing and became a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Over the past two years in advanced practice, I have provided comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing treatment for a wide range of mental health disorders.

My clinical experience includes addiction medicine and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), as well as the management of depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and ADHD. I am committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care. I work collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that promote stability, resilience, and long-term well-being.

I've worked as a therapist for over 20 years. It is such an honor to be invited into people's vulnerable and hopeless places in their story. Through our work together I get to watch them learn, grow and overcome their obstacles to living well. It is such beautiful work!

I love working with clients who want to integrate their faith into the therapy process.
