Hey--I'm Julie. I offer therapy that focuses on what matters to you and making changes that matter to you. Whether you're a queer or trans person fighting to be seen & heard on your terms, or in a relationship hijacked by conflict & pain, or your struggling to keep up with *all the things*, I can help. My specialty is asking questions that open pathways to your preferred tomorrow. I don't do lengthy and intrusive "intakes." I'm ready for the conversation you want to have. I'm also a professor--I teach at the University of Minnesota in the Youth Studies program. I know how sucky & stressful it is to juggle school w/other responsibilities. I know that some of you may be: precariously housed; living with food insecurity; facing the violence of racism, homo-and transphobia, white nationalist threats, sexism, and other oppressive systems; and/or squeaking by on poverty wages. That's all stuff that f*cks with you and we can find ways together to stand up and reclaim your life. Read more at my website, www.2stories.com, or give me a call/shoot me an email and I'll be happy to answer your questions about meeting together. In solidarity, Julie

Tallahassee, FL

Hi, I’m Dr. Kayla April, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and Minnesota. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and older adults dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, stress, grief, end-of-life concerns, and mood disorders. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness. In our first sessions, we’ll build a strong connection and create a personalized treatment plan. I use a Unified Protocol approach and am passionate about destigmatizing mental health and supporting lasting change. As a clinician, I offer the opportunity for clients to have autonomy in their sessions and come up with ways on how we can partner together to get through tough moments you are having in life. My primary method of treatment is psychotherapy focused on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I invite you to be vulnerable for a moment and trust me through the process. If you suffer from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or other serious mental health disorders please reach out and take the steps to self-healing.

Graceville, MN

Hi, I'm Molly! I am a mental health professional committed to helping individuals, families, and communities reach their greatest potential. I gravitate toward a person-centered, cognitive behavioral approach to therapy while tailoring sessions to meet the needs of my client, commonly utilizing the modality of Brainspotting to enhance session outcomes. I believe in meeting clients where they are at to support clients in reaching their goals, yet prioritize collaboration between clients, parents, and other service providers as needed or desired because no one should need to navigate changes or challenges alone. It is rewarding to see growth, healing, and learning from the various challenges life presents.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in your thoughts, or just not like yourself lately? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone, either. I work with students who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions that can feel confusing or heavy. Many of the people I work with are used to putting others first, staying busy, or “holding it together” even when they’re struggling inside. If that sounds familiar, this may be a good place to start. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I offer a space that’s judgment-free, supportive, and focused on what you need. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on and create a personalized plan that may include therapy, medication support, or both—always at a pace that feels right for you. I currently see clients through secure, easy-to-use telehealth, so you can access care from wherever you feel most comfortable. If you’re ready to feel better, I’d love to help you get started.

I specialize in ADHD and Autism, as well as enjoy helping people navigate issues related to anxiety and depression. I believe that Resilience is a skill we can learn, and it is what is going to help us make it through whatever challenges life may throw our way. In my previous career I was a medic in the US Army, so if your experiences involve the military, emergency medicine, or moving around a lot, I get it. I have 7 kids and went to college at 40, so if you are a non traditional student, I get it. Lets talk about it!

My goal is to help you find the freedom to be yourself. Oftentimes, people and circumstances we experience can change the way we perceive ourselves and our life. We can feel like we’ve lost our place in the world or lost a sense of who we are or want to be. My goal is to help you to overcome those obstacles through mindset work, problem solving, and boundary setting. You are unique and deserve to be able to express your individuality and live the best life possible.

Shorewood, MN

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me! I have over 15 years of experience working in the mental health field in various settings--including inpatient, outpatient, inner-city clinics, schools, and private practice. I specialize in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders and ADHD. My passion for the field stems from my personal experience with it--overcoming a debilitating anxiety/panic disorder and accompanying depression. It was the scariest, most difficult time of my life. However, I made a promise to myself that if one day I could overcome my debilitating anxiety, then I would help others to do the same. I approach every client uniquely and use an eclectic, person-centered, integrative, evidence-based model as well as the ACT model. We will set overall goals that will not only help you with what you are struggling with mentally but also aid you in reaching better health all-around. When ready, I will challenge you and help set weekly goals to work towards. Aside from the omnipresent stigma, the process of getting help can be overwhelming and exhausting, leaving one feeling frustrated and lonely. However, I also know how life-changing it can be to find the right help. You only get this one life and I am here to help you live it in your most authentic, fully expressed, ideal way. I look forward to connecting!

I work with folks looking to understand their own identity. Whether that be in relation to themself or others. Balancing life as an emerging adult while being a college student can be overwhelming. I specialize in working with folks who are queer, trans, gender expansive, and neurodivergent. I am trained in a trauma therapy called EMDR, which can help people who have experienced traumatic events to find healing. I support folks in finding skills for regulating their emotions, sitting in the discomfort of hard feelings, and being more present in their day to day life.
