Therapy is a powerful and individual process that can help reduce symptoms, build tools to deal with stressors and is a mutual relationship that encourages growth. I am here to help support, guide and problem solve through the use of assessment, treatment plans, and outpatient therapy.

Due to the attachment and race-based trauma of Katy’s experience, Minnesota CarePartner is forever dedicated to advocating for services to be delivered through historical and systemic trauma lenses. Katy is in recovery herself and commits her life to community-based healing and recovery on a broader level through policy efforts to dismantle the very systems.

Welcome to Through the Woods Counseling! I am a feminist therapist licensed in the state of Minnesota to treat co-occurring disorders - that’s just a way of saying I’m trained in working with folks that struggle with more than one issue at a time. Think things like anxiety and alcohol abuse, trauma and depression, stress management and ADHD, and so on… I believe mental health diagnoses can be helpful in giving us a starting point for evidence based ways to improve our mental wellness, but they are also labels rooted in and created by classically oppressive systems, so diagnosis is not a primary focus of sessions.

Do you or your child feel lost, lonely, or disconnected and ready to find growth and connection? I am passionate about working with children, teens, and young adults and find the uniqueness of each client an asset. I believe in the quote I use as a tagline "Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely." It brings up the circumstance as a fact, but also the power to create change in how we look at it and grow from our experiences, mindfully. I guide my clients (and their parents) who are looking to make positive changes in their lives, need empathy, and guidance, to aid them get to a safe and secure place/play therapy room.

Many of my clients have learned that their experiences can be described as "trauma", and that trauma is often "stored in the body." These experiences can range from major life events, to buildup of chronic stress, to difficult relationships from the past. My clients often are curious how their early life, attachment with caregivers, or past relationships have affected them. Somatic and relational therapy can help to heal traumas of all kinds that are carried in our bodies and minds. My collaborative and flexible approach means that you have a voice in how we work on things together, and we go at a pace that works best for you.

Therapy can be such a worthwhile endeavor. Bring some motivation and willingness to try new things, and I will invest with you in the process of feeling better and knowing yourself more. I love supporting folks who are ready to do the work. I value active participation and will do more than talk and listen. Also, I am a queer therapist who specializes working with fellow LGBTQIA+ folks, I’m well versed in trans/nonbinary experiences, and I have worked in our communities for several years. I also work with parents who are raising gender diverse kids. And, I am a experienced licensing supervisor through the Board of Social Work.

Life often has challenges, transitions and unpredictable events that can leave us struggling or feeling overwhelmed. During these times, it can be challenging to know where to turn. I realize the courage and vulnerability it can take to turn towards therapy. You being here already shows your strength and resilience. I believe that at the root of successful therapy is a meaningful relationship between therapist and client.

Melissa (she/they) I’m so glad that you are here. I recognize the vulnerability it takes to engage in therapy, and I feel that it is a privilege to be able to walk alongside someone and be a witness to their growth and discovery. First and foremost, I am a relational therapist. I strongly believe that we heal in safe and healthy relationships with others. Therefore, I work hard to build relationships with each of my clients. I am strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma and attachment-informed. It is also important to me that I work to create a space that is Fat positive, Queer and Trans affirming, and Culturally responsive.

Although good therapy is serious business it does not have to be grim! I'm very creative and flexible in my approach and view the therapeutic process as a series of hypotheses we explore together. I offer warmth, humor, and sharp analysis of the big picture as well as the details to help you identify what's holding you back and how to move forward differently in a clear, practicable way. In my office we will laugh a lot but we will also work very hard. More than just a psychological travel agent I strive to be a tour guide leader. Your journey is not my journey but I walk with you, in the muck with you, as you determine where to go.

My name is Iesha McLeod and I am a Licensed Psychologist (LP) based in Minnesota. I received my Doctorate from Albizu University-Miami and have been practicing for 8 years. I enjoy creating an atmosphere where clients can identify and become their true selves. It is my belief that sometimes experiences in life can taint one’s genuine self and cause them to develop defense mechanisms that prevent their true nature from being shared with the world. I have a passion for helping others navigate through life’s experiences and difficulties in order to embrace and nurture their true identity.
