Owner/Clinician

Hello! My name is Lori, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Being a human is tough, and being a little human can be even tougher, and we all could use a little extra support sometimes! I strive to provide a relaxed, non-judgmental space so kids and teens can be themselves and achieve their individualized goals. I enjoy incorporating creative therapy strategies such as art, sand, and play into my practice and believe that not one modality is a fit for everyone.

I have experience working with children and teens in the areas of anxiety, depression and mood disorders, self-harm behavior, anger, behavioral concerns, changes in family life, life transitions, abuse, and trauma. I have years of experience working with children using play-based therapy techniques (4-10), and one of my favorite places in my practice is my play therapy room! As a play-based therapist, I work alongside your child to help give them tools to regulate their nervous system so they can more easily explore, express, and manage big emotions, experience life changes, behavioral concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. I utilize the tenants of Synergetic Play Therapy® (SPT), and am also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and am Nationally Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) certified.

Clinician

I am Blake, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. As an autistic therapist, I bring unique insight and lived experience to my work, particularly with neurodivergent clients. My warm, direct communication style and deep understanding of sensory needs help create a genuinely accommodating therapeutic environment.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, helping them explore and understand their internal system of parts while developing self-compassion and emotional awareness. I bring specialized expertise in supporting clients through life transitions, trauma healing, anxiety, and identity exploration. My approach is collaborative, adapting IFS techniques to each client's needs and communication style. I offer flexibility in session structure, welcome stimming and movement, and understand that eye contact is optional. My office is designed to be sensory-friendly, with adjustable lighting, fidget tools available, and comfortable seating options.

My areas of focus include supporting autistic and ADHD individuals in navigating relationships, work, and social expectations while honoring their authentic selves. I also help parents better understand and support their neurodivergent children, process trauma and complex PTSD through an IFS lens, and work with anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcomes clients of all backgrounds, abilities, and neurotypes. I currently offer in-person sessions.

I hold an MA in Counseling and Psychological Services from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota. I am also a Level 2 Trained IFS Practitioner.

Hi, I’m Carl and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC). I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy.

My specialties and areas of expertise focus on treating adults with PTSD, personality disorders, as well as working with adults with co-occurring mental health disorders, substance use disorders, chronic pain, and central sensitization disorders. As a clinician that does work with chronic pain and central sensitization, I believe that clients need to be heard and understood about their difficulties and life changing experiences.

I believe that everyone is doing the best in life with the skills they have. I myself continue to grow despite my own chronic pain and being a recovering alcoholic, and I am willing to share my strength, knowledge and hope with you.
