Jennifer Vela

Jennifer Vela

Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


I’m a bilingual therapist working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Many of the people I support feel overwhelmed by overthinking, internal pressure, difficulty managing stress, and the uncertainty of what comes next.

In our work together, I focus on helping you make sense of what’s happening internally and develop practical ways to respond to stress and emotions. I integrate cognitive, somatic, and neuroscience-informed approaches to support both emotional and nervous system regulation.

I believe therapy should feel human. It can be structured but still fit your individual needs. I offer a space where you can show up as you are, while also doing meaningful work that leads to real shifts in how you experience and respond to life.

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 cause despair because we are all made for love and community. Feeling disconnected can be unbearable. 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.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Saint Paul, MN

Finding addiction therapists in Saint Paul starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and the mental health concerns that may occur alongside substance use. As you compare therapists, look for experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people may also work with a psychiatrist or other prescriber as part of their care team.

Saint Paul has a range of local therapy options, and virtual appointments can expand your search beyond offices near your home, work, or school. Recovery can take different paths, so it helps to find a therapist who describes their approach in clear, nonjudgmental terms and has experience with harm reduction, abstinence-based support, or both. Before booking, read therapist bios for details about addiction specialties, appointment availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Addiction counseling in Saint Paul can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you compare addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, review their profiles, verify your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
