Medica Therapists in Fargo, ND

Life's journey can often throw us curve balls. Everyone is worthy of love and belonging, however sometimes it is hard to be able to put yourself first and nurture your emotional needs. With the correct level of support, I firmly believe that anyone can achieve better emotional stability, find moments of joy, and learn to live in the present. No one is able to "fix" another's mental health concerns, yet through support, encouragement, education, empathy, and understanding, you can have the knowledge and tools to reach your own personal goals. I have worked in the mental field for 10 years.

Welcome! I hope that you find helpful information here. I am an addictions and mental health counselor, and I am passionate about providing you with quality counseling for both addiction and mental health disorders. I work with adults at this time, emphasizing trauma-informed care and holistic wellness. My theoretical orientation is eclectic, so I use various strategies to best serve you, including humanistic, mindfulness, strengths, and values-based approaches.

There is no need to be stuck in the confusion, sadness, anger and hurt from the past and life's negative experiences. I offer a safe and judgement free space where you will be heard. Sometimes we just need another perspective on how to manage our emotions and behaviors. I believe that everyone, no matter the trauma or experience, deserves an opportunity to find healing, health and peace.

When is the last time you did something just for yourself? We can hold ourselves up on such a pedestal that often, we do not allow space for ourselves to heal, grow, and just be heard. Together we can create a unique space that allows you to show yourself the compassion and empathy that you are so deserving of.

Ashley’s goal as a counselor is to create a safe, accepting, and empowering space for individuals to grow and heal. She meets individuals where they are at, incorporating their strengths, interests, and creativity into each session. Ashely sees adolescents and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relational concerns, self-worth, and identity exploration.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) licensed in the state of North Dakota. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from North Dakota State University and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of Mary. I utilize many different therapy modalities and techniques which are tailored to each individual person’s needs. I work primarily with adults focusing on depression, anxiety and panic disorders, trauma, PTSD, and I utilize EMDR. I am LGBTQIA+ affirmative, and I specialize in working with people who are queer, trans, or questioning gender identity.

Therapy provides an opportunity to explore the challenges and barriers that keep us from connecting to a meaningful life. I value compassion and collaboration and look forward to building a relationship with you. Together, we'll discover what's most important to you and what steps you can take to a live a more fulfilling life.

I work with a vide variety of adolescent and adult clients as well as couples and families of all ages. Most of my clients come in for an intake session to explain their situation and start to develop therapeutic goals. Weekly 50-minute sessions are recommended in most situations to start, but as progress is made, many clients shift to less frequent counseling sessions. I am dedicated to establishing a trusting professional relationship based on respect and understanding the unique history, perspective, and needs of my client.

My goal is to create a supportive environment where my clients can explore their emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit their full potential. I offer counseling sessions during daytime and evening hours for individuals and couples for topics of concern including Depression, Dual Diagnosis, Codependency, Anxiety/Stress, Communication issues, Trust issues, Loneliness, Emotional intimacy, Trauma/PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury and Self-esteem issues. I would like the opportunity to help you heal any experiences that impact your life and to join you on your journey to becoming a better you.

I believe that in order to live up to our fullest potential we need to take time out of our busy lives to take care of ourselves- which includes taking care of our mental health. I work collaboratively with my clients and help them to identify what changes they would like to make in order to grow and move in the direction of their desired goals.

My overall focus is on helping women be well--physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially. My areas of focus include: trauma, depression, anxiety, work-life balance, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I gravitate towards Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic therapies in my clinical work. I primarily serve clients individually; however, I am experienced in offering couple's and group therapy. I am passionate about working with those experiencing PTSD and helping improve their quality of life. In addition to seeing clients I provide supervision for ND and MN counselors seeking their LPCCs.

I want you to imagine leaving your home in the morning, navigating the busy roads to work. You’re tired, barely focused and dreading the day ahead. You pull into the parking lot of your employer, taking a deep breath. You grab your work things and walk towards the office. You stop, frozen in the sea of mental waves, a thousand thoughts crashing into one another, unable to organize them. Everything stops for a moment, a beacon of clarity forms in the distance and you’re able to hear one calm thought. You ask yourself “am I on the right path?”

I see individuals, families, and couples with a wide variety of issues relating to mental health and relationships. Everyone is their own expert when it comes to their own mental health and I want to be here to help guide you to be the best version of yourself.

Life can be complicated and demanding. The pandemic persists. It may be hard to ask for help but know that life isn't meant to walk through alone, and we are all human. I believe in leaning into the human condition with compassion, curiosity, and courage in order to gain clarity, conquer barriers, and reach a place of self-respect, wellness, and balance. As a helper-guide I am confident everyone possesses valuable qualities and has at their chore what it takes to rise above adversity. And, the goal is progress not perfection. What you do today can change your tomorrow, and know that change is always occurring.

Hi! My name is Natalie from Prairieland Counseling and my passion is partnering with others to help make positive changes in their lives.

I am an LGBTQ+ ally and I love the work I do. My services are provided in office or via web based services.

Coping with stress related to the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as managing the mental health and psychosocial considerations can be very challenging. Don’t do it alone. DPCS is also open for more customary, client issues, for example: relational issues, symptoms of anxiety and depression, grief/ loss, etc. While I prefer face-to-face counseling sessions, due to COVID-19, during this time of limiting social contact to preserve the physical and mental wellbeing of all of our Fargo/ Moorhead community members and DPCS staff, I am grateful we have the option of telehealth available to us.

Our overall focus at Becoming Balanced is on helping women be well—physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially. As women, we have many obligations and roles we fill. I like to meet you where you are, and walk along side you in your journey to a better you.
