Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


Are you the "fixer" or "peacekeeper" who feels exhausted by anxiety or unresolved trauma? On the outside, you're the one everyone depends on. On the inside, your mind never slows down. You struggle to say no, fear disappointing others, and carry guilt that isn't yours. Maybe you rely on alcohol or THC just to quiet your mind. Together, we'll uncover the roots of these survival patterns, heal the experiences that shaped them, and help you feel calmer, more confident, and more like yourself.

I help adults heal from trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing by getting to the root of what's driving these patterns. Using EMDR and other evidence-based therapies, we'll reduce anxiety, strengthen boundaries, quiet the inner critic, and create lasting change.

You don't have to keep carrying everything on your own. Healing is possible, and you deserve support that helps you move beyond survival. I offer secure telehealth therapy throughout Minnesota and North Dakota, along with a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.

Dr. Alex Conroy

Psychologist

Virtual • Minnesota


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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Chaska, MN


I have worked collectively for 31 years in public safety, crisis work, training and mental/chemical health. During my 16 years in law enforcement (LE) my experiences included being a Sergeant, SWAT Team Leader, Negotiator, Critical Incident Facilitator and Trainer. My experience in LE has led me to my passion in how trauma impacts our first responders. I have used my own experience as a first responder and woman in recovery, to transcend into my current role of a mental health and chemical health therapist working with not only first responders - police, fire, military, dispatchers, front line workers and corrections officers, but also any survivor, individual struggling with LGBT issues, addiction, relational struggles or trauma. I am able to be a conduit of change, sharing the journey with those who face the everyday stressful events, trauma or finding one's true identity. We are never alone. I am here to be a safe place and safe person to share and divide your pain. I am here to honor your experiences, share your success and build your resilience and healing.
