Therapists in New Hope, MN

Hi there! My name is Jessica and I am so happy you are here- I know how hard it is to find a therapist that fits your needs, helps you feel comfortable, and safe while working on yourself. I work hard to create a compassionate, authentic, non-judgemental, & light-hearted space while working alongside you. My clients typically experience comfort and a sense of belonging when working with me. I enjoy working with clients that are 16+, working through issues such as anxiety, depression, life stress, trauma, school anxiety, teenage struggles, self-confidence or all of the above!

I have significant experience facilitating Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for adults living with personality disorders as well as adolescents struggling with mood disorders and self-harm behaviors. I enjoy working with adolescents to effectively manage depression and anxiety symptoms, irritability, reactivity, relational stressors, communication issues, grief and loss, and self-esteem issues. I also like teaching skills and strategies to their parents and caregivers to they can feel resourced when supporting their young loved one outside of therapy.

I believe in the importance of sharing knowledge about the mind-body relationship of trauma, panic, anxiety, and depression, to help my clients understand what they have been experiencing and why, and how to move forward. My specialties are school-aged children and adolescents and their families, and young adults, but I do trauma-focused therapy with all ages. My clinical interests include trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, and transitional stress, whether that be exploring or revealing sexuality and/or gender identity, developmental transitions, managing increasing expectations of early adulthood, or navigating life changes.

Humor is one of my therapist superpowers. On the journey to greater emotional well-being, I want you to laugh, feel comfortable, and not take yourself too seriously. Seriously! Because when you're a parent worried about your child's peer relationships or your teen's behaviors or school performance, I know life can feel heavy. Even for adults dealing with typical life transitions, it can feel stressful and overwhelming. Whatever the challenge, I'm here for you. We will work together to regain the light-heartedness that makes life enjoyable.

Therapy can provide a powerful opportunity for self-understanding and balance restoration which ultimately leads to growth and emotional healing. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and trusted space with clients to help them begin to identify problematic patterns and explore healthy, effective coping skills. My hope is this repairative process will facilitate change not just within the context of therapy but in all relationships and areas of a client's life. There are many issues we may explore in therapy: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image, grief/loss and life transitions among others.

Experiencing anxiety or depression? Shyness, constant sadness, and loneliness affecting your relationships? I specialize in helping individuals overcome these challenges. Together, we can work on reconnecting with others, finding energy, and rediscovering joy in life. Don't hesitate to take the first step towards positive change; you don't have to face this alone.

Are you making a big change in your life like changing jobs/careers, divorce, experiencing a loss or retirement? Maybe it's a change you should be happy about....but you're not. Did you know Anxiety and Depression encourage negative thoughts that stall changes, isolate people, effect career growth and challenge supportive relationships? I can help you learn how to combat the negative voices of Depression and Anxiety. Learn how to be your best "you" and enjoy life more.

Do you find yourself discouraged with the demands of life or with not finding healthy relationships? Do you feel alone with the circumstances in your life? I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, chronic health, chronic pain, grief, abuse, trauma, autism, ADHD, mental illness, marriage issues, and parenting.

I'm currently full- but my Mindful Way colleagues may still have openings. Making the step to come to therapy is a hard one. I feel honored to provide a warm, safe, and compassionate space for you to share your story and truly be heard. I believe you are the expert on your relationships, health, emotions, and body. I work with Adults and children (ages 2-7). I welcome folks of all backgrounds (ethnicity, race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation) and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, culturally responsive environment that supports your healing journey.

Life is messy. Relationships can be challenging, family can be overwhelming, demands of daily obligations can drain, or sometimes the path forward may feel uncertain. Therapy can be a way to clarify your situation and restore a sense of control. As your therapist, my role is to make you feel safe, heard, and challenged as needed. Every person is capable, they may just need to learn more effective skills to reach their goals and break free from past cycles. “You’ve always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself” – Glinda

Accepting New Clients for kids/teens and adults! You're here because you've had enough. It's exhausting to feel so stressed, anxious or on edge every day. Maybe you've tried a therapist or two in the past and they just kinda let you talk about your problems without truly helping, so you feel as crappy as you did when you began. If you are ready to dive deeper into what's going on and get at the root of the issue so that you can finally get your life back to normal, we are ready to work with you! You need an expert to help you process out what's keeping you stuck in order to become your best self. Change is waiting for you. Welcome!

As a seasoned psychotherapist, I specialize in providing compassionate support to mature teens through adults who are navigating the complexities of anxiety and depression, grief and loss. Whether you're a student dealing with not feeling good enough or an adult seeking healing from the throws of life, I will provide the empathy you deserve. My goal as your therapist is to provide the support, healing and resources you need in order to not just cope but to live a healthier holistic lifestyle.

We all have the capacity to grow and heal. I honor the courage it takes to reach out for support and make the choices and changes necessary to find peace and fulfillment in life. Whether stuck in unsatisfying patterns, navigating transitions or challenging relationships, living with impacts of mental heath, trauma or life and work stress, I work collaboratively to develop insights, practical coping tools and uncover your resilient qualities. Therapy is a relational process and we will work together to reach your goals, often by exploring ways your life experiences have impacted you and finding strategies for relief and empowerment.

When times are challenging, you may not feel like you have the energy or strength to navigate challenges or be your true self. You may be experiencing anxiety and/or depression symptoms that make it difficult to function daily. You may want to learn new coping techniques because the ones you know and have implemented are not effective. I currently work with adults (18+) who are experiencing life transitions, depression, and/or anxiety symptoms and apply CBT and DBT-based approaches through person-centered talk-therapy. If you want to be seen, heard, and understood, contact me through the email or phone number provided.

I believe that the foundation of growth begins within the relationship between individual and therapist. The desire to feel seen, heard, and understood is universal and is an essential part of our overall well-being. I celebrate the courage of individuals who take steps into healing by engaging in the therapeutic process to manifest the life they desire. I am passionate about working together to ensure that you become an expert on yourself and believe in your own insight, strength, and self awareness. I believe that humor and laughter bring out our authentic selves and utilize this philosophy in my work.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. I know that doing a simple search for a therapist may seem like a small thing, but it's the first step that is going to lead to major improvements in your life. I'm here to help you with the next steps. Odds are you found me because something just isn't going right. Or maybe a lot of things aren't going right. Issues like anxiety, depression, and interpersonal problems can make the struggles of daily life seem nearly unbearable. It can seem like even the sunny days are obscured by a cloud that dulls any sense of contentment. I hear you. The good news is, I can help.
