Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Minnesota

I believe that every one of us is trying our best and sometimes we need help from a professional to offer us additional perspective. Each one of us is the expert in our own lives, but we do not always see the water we are swimming in that might be causing us distress. Therapy is a collaborative process where we explore what works best for you. I would love to partner with you to help you find your way forward.

I believe in using a client centered approach and working collaboratively with my clients in reaching their goals for change. I became a therapist to help people in some way, whether to offer support through the process of improving mental health, addressing relationship difficulties, or adjusting to challenging life changes.

I believe we all have changes that can be made to live better. Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or coming back now is the time to take the steps to make those changes. Many aspects of life can be challenging, especially over these last years. Therapy can be important in understanding what areas need adjustment, ways to make lasting change, and to have someone along who wants to support you through it all.

My name is Debbie Colbeck. I work with adolescents (ages 14 & up), adults, couples, and the elderly population. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, divorce, behavioral issues, life transitions, emotional disturbance, grief, stress, boundaries, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), PTSD, panic disorder, women's issues, parenting issues, adjustment issues, and narcissistic abuse. Every session is tailored to the client's needs, working together toward hope and healing.

As a therapist, I strive to build a relationship based on trust and empathetic listening. I have a passion for helping people move through the hardships they might be facing in their lives. I realize therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach and I will work with you to help you build skills that are effective for you. I will help you gain insight into your life, identify negative thought patterns, and challenge you to think "outside of the box". During the time we spend together, we will focus on strength-based and person-centered treatment.

I work with my clients at their own pace. I am here to help guide you and walk beside you on your journey to mental wellness. Our life experiences can leave us feeling broken, rejected, lonely, and searching for answers. But, through this brokenness we can begin to discover who we want to be, bringing us the emotional healing we desire. Through self-exploration we can begin to understand how these events impact how we treat ourselves, interact with others and create meaning in our lives. Chantelle believes that change occurs when we begin to truly accept ourselves as we are. Non-judgement, radical self-love and forgiveness are key.

Do you identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or have non-traditional relationship dynamics? Do you feel disconnected from your partner(s) or self? We can navigate the barriers which prevent you from having the connections you desire with others and yourself.

Are you unsure of the path you are on and want to embark on a journey that matches with your authentic self, but first need to figure out what that means to you? I can help guide you in self exploration.

I really enjoy working with people from all walks of life. Specifically, I enjoy the treatment of anxiety, depression, working with adolescents, treating problems surrounding self-compassion and self-esteem, and stress management. I thoroughly enjoy working with LGBTQ+ people, as I identify as a fellow community member myself. I approach my work with children through an integrative lens.
