Therapists in Waite Park, MN

Many of us have feelings of not being good enough, or that we are bad, not lovable, not smart enough, not worthy, etc. These feelings can come from past trauma and/or from living with a narcissist. Because we have feelings like these, we think we have to do things for others so they will like us. It's exhausting. These feelings can create self doubt, confusion, anxiety, depression, fear, anger, etc. Your life doesn't have to be like this. Therapy can help you rid yourself of these beliefs and give you clarity and happiness. I've been successfully helping people with these issues thru online, EMDR based therapy, for many years.

While healing and building new ways of thinking are not necessarily easy, I am honored to see if we might be a good fit to do this work together.

I'm a clinical psychologist operating a private practice in St. Cloud and serving Central Minnesota. My training is in clinical health psychology and along with helping clients with various mental health needs, I also have a specific interest in helping individuals with medical and health-related conditions. I provide a full range of psychological services, from general counseling and therapy to testing and bariatric surgery evaluations.

I have a few immediate openings- As a therapist, I work with people to develop a safe and trusting relationship. I focus on developing a strong relationship where we can partner together wherever this journey takes them. I work with people experiencing anxiety, mood disorders, relationship issues, co-occurring substance use, life transitions (e.g., changes with work, retirement, onset of disability). I enjoy working with young adults navigating life transitions including college, employment, and identity development. I am passionate about providing LGTBQ+ affirming therapy.

“Stuck.” This is a word that often comes up in therapy: feeling stuck with painful feelings, with past traumatic experiences, in unhealthy ways of coping, or in challenging relationship dynamics. When stuck with thoughts of the past or worries about the future, this gets in the way of living in the present. Especially as environments are often invalidating of emotional experiences, getting unstuck is about making room for what we've learned to avoid. Through a close and meaningful relationship, I am passionate about creating a safe environment in which we can get to the bottom of what is keeping you from the life you want to lead.

My experience is working in the area of mood disorders, depression, anxiety, self-harm, PTSD, adoption support, family dynamics and communication, & college issues offering solution focused techniques to bring about positive change and healing. As an attachment theorist I value practical, experiential discovery of the things that hold people back from optimal functioning in life. I seek to join with people by being creative in the work we do together to meet clients where they are at using the talents and strengths he or she has to create successful steps forward.

In a creative and caring space, I assist clients of all ages identify and explore problems that may be getting in the way of a rewarding life, a better self image, or more fulfilling relationships. I have a passion for helping people find their inner strength to bring out unique abilities and overcome obstacles, while emphasizing on healing and growth. My heart lies working with adolescents and adults. My specialty areas included: neurodiversity; ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma, grief/loss, family conflicts, parenting, and self esteem.

We can feel a lot of pressure to succeed or look a certain way. Sometimes we just don't feel good enough or that we have to do things "perfectly" to be accepted. We might even think, "when will I finally get there?", "why can't I just get over this?", or "I feel like there is something wrong with me." Together, we will work to help you to heal your relationship with yourself and overcome your struggles; whether they are anxiety, depression, feelings of inadequacy, or challenges with food and/or exercise.

I love working with clients that need a safe space to express their thoughts and feelings. The therapy session is a special place to say the things we want to say, the things we are scared to say, and the things we have never said before. Anxiety, depression, peer conflict, among many other challenges face us each day and I am open to listening and assisting you.

Hi there. My name is Madison, welcome to my profile. I am here to help walk alongside you during various life challenges and mental health concerns, while providing a supportive, non-judgmental, and empathic role. I am in the process of obtaining LPCC licensure, projected early 2024. I am EMDR trained, and have my certificate in Integrative Health and Nutrition for Mental Health (CIMHP). I also have experience with personal training and individual programming for health and wellness needs.

I view every person within the context of their family/community/systems and I find importance in exploring those connections and their impact. At Wild Acres Wellness we have plenty of space to explore, utilize nature, work with horses, and, of course, hunker down inside in an office as well. I value creating a safe and supportive atmosphere for the client on their journey. I enjoy and am passionate about using elements of nature, mindfulness, movement, self-compassion, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) in the therapy process, and trauma informed equine therapy.

I believe in the power of connection and collaboration to help clients build resilience and overcome obstacles. I practice through a strength based, solution focused, and holistic lens which encompasses an individual's emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. My mission is to help clients navigate life’s challenges with confidence and hope. As a firm believer in the strength of the therapeutic relationship, I strive to create a warm, genuine, non-judgemental, safe, and honest environment for clients.

Often a question asked prior to counseling is, am I thriving or simply surviving? Individuals question their life path and need help to figure out where to start exploring. We work together to identify strengths, areas of growth, and both are used to help cultivate a fulfilling life experience. Clients may feel there is a mismatch between their head and hearts so we also work to connect them which in-turn causes less uncertainty and confusion in life choices.

I truly enjoy working with people who come to therapy to explore and heal their relationships with their bodies and mind, and I collaboratively work with my clients to help them decide on goals and focus. I strive to be a guide in helping each person use their own knowledge, wisdom, and connection to find hope, meaning, healing and behavioral change. While the length of time people are in therapy varies greatly, I generally see people for shorter-term courses of therapy, in blocks of 12-16 sessions followed by a break to maximize behavioral change and encourage self-direction in the process, though many people decide to continue on.
