Native American Therapists in Grand Rapids, MN
My ideal clients are women, young adults, parents, and caregivers who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, especially in relationships. Often, they come to therapy feeling exhausted by repeating the same cycles, unsure how to move forward, or disconnected from themselves and their needs. They may be leaving or healing from difficult relationships, adjusting to life transitions, or trying to better understand why they feel the way they do. In our work together, we will focus on building insight, increasing self-awareness, and gently working through the emotions and patterns that feel hard to shift.

Nicole is a firm believer that trauma and addiction go hand and hand. "It too effects our bodies. A lot of times clients are unaware of that early in their recovery, and they have been using substances to cope for years. I am driven to teach my clients about the mind body connection by the teaching and exploring of somatics, negative thoughts, unconventional coping skills, i.e., such as breathworks, and by exploring safety and its meaning within themselves. Seeing other people's light shine again and finding themselves is the fuel to why I do this healing work."

You’re not stuck—you’re patterned.
I help adolescents and adults break long-standing cycles of anxiety, trauma responses, emotional overwhelm, and self-sabotage by working directly with the nervous system, not just thoughts.
This is structured, trauma-informed therapy focused on real change: how you feel, respond, and function in daily life.

I work with adults who are deeply exhausted from holding themselves together—people who feel everything intensely and live with chronic anxiety, emotional overwhelm, OCD, trauma, or relationship struggles. Many have tried therapy before and left feeling unseen, mislabeled, or told they're "too much" or simply need better coping skills. My clients are often thoughtful, self-aware, and capable, yet stuck in patterns that keep repeating despite years of insight, especially in relationships, emotional regulation, identity, and self-worth.

Life is a journey toward self-discovery and we are faced with many challenges on that journey. In my role as both guide & companion along the way, I offer insight, increased understanding, & the skills to navigate through the obstacles on your path. I believe we all have a gift. As Picasso stated: “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away”. My passion is guiding others toward that journey of continued self-discovery: working through the impasses, the resistance to personal growth. Understanding that we do grow, not inspite of those issues, but because of them: relying on inner resilience.

FAQ - Native American Therapists
What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
