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.

Mary Kay Lowe

Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


I am a warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental clinician who cares about those who show up for therapy. I am inquisitive, curious and direct in challenging thoughts and behavior that get in the way of living a happy, fulfilling life. I encourage individuals, couples and families to lean into/draw strength from their spiritual and/or religious beliefs. I enjoy and encourage utilizing the gift of humor to enrich one’s life.

I enjoy working with college students. I am also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor for college students seeking supervision. (I would not be able to provide therapy and AAMFT Supervision to a client - as that would be a "dual" relationship).

Amy Stoks

Amy Stoks

Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


For the past eighteen years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals, children, and families across both clinical and K–12 educational settings. My professional journey has included roles as a Professional School Counselor, 504 Coordinator/Learning Specialist, and Clinical Therapist, giving me a unique understanding of how emotional, cognitive, and learning needs intersect.

Over time, my view of mental health has expanded. I’ve always been interested in nutrition, movement, sleep, and lifestyle as contributors to emotional wellness. But everything shifted when I began integrating mindfulness, contemplative practices, and a deeper exploration of hormone health—both personally and professionally. Understanding how hormones influence mood, stress, and cognition opened an entirely new dimension of care.

I now approach therapy through a whole-person lens that honors the connection between mind, body, hormones, and environment.
