Hello! My name is Clover and I am a licensed clinical therapist and addiction specialist in the state of North Carolina. I look forward to the opportunity of learning and working together as part of our therapeutic process. I enjoy working with folks who are gender diverse and members of the LGBTQIA+ community who experience unique stressors and conflicts with their day-to-day lives. I also love working with folks who struggle with substance use either in addition to other life stressors or on its own especially in the context of substance use disorders being highly stigmatized. I focus on substance use treatment approaches with a functionality mindset to work on setting reasonable goals and expectations during the clinical process. I started my clinical work with addiction and grew as a therapist and person to see people from a whole-person perspective. Our difficulties, conflicts, our stressors do not define us for who we are and when they prevent or delay us from becoming our authentic selves is where the therapeutic process blossoms. I believe everybody is always in a constant process of growing into our best selves and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you along this process too.

Our work together will be mindfulness driven and trauma-informed meaning we would agree to take an ongoing inventory of wellbeing and to identify/address individual and relational needs related to anxiety, depression, substance abuse, grief and loss, and trauma. Our goal would be to enhance existing strength factors (assets) and to reduce risk factors (triggers). Therapy will work if you work it!!!

Before stepping into the world of therapy, I found healing and self-discovery through the arts. Whether I was welding, sculpting, or painting, creating gave me space to process, express, and discover myself and my calling. Later, my academic journey through neurobiology and pre-med deepened my awe for the human body and mind—how intricately they’re connected, and how they constantly strive to protect and guide us, even in the hardest moments. I hold a deep respect for the whole person—every part of you, including the parts that feel messy, misunderstood, or still in progress. To me, therapy is about honoring your full story: your background, culture, family, and the unique experiences that shape who you are today. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in a range of therapeutic models including attachment theory, Solution-Focused Therapy, IFS, TF-CBT, Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), and Brainspotting therapy. These are just a few of the tools we can draw from as we tailor our work to fit you—your needs, your goals, your pace.

Welcome! I'm Violet Scheibel. First, please take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and many more. I believe you are the expert in yourself and I there to assist in this process. I see therapy like you are driving the car and I am in the passenger seat riding copilot offering new tools, organizing the tools you already have and providing a different perspective. More than any modality of therapy the success therapy is dependent on how you, the client, feel in the relationship with your therapist. It is not something to tough out and I encourage you to work with someone you feel you connect with, can be open and honest with.

Two websites give the broadest view of my experiences and multicultural background with regard to healthy and balanced life. I was raised as an "Air Force Brat" in different countries and come from an N.J. Underground Railroad heritage on one side. Besides my experience in well-know U.S. crises when i worked for county and non-profit agencies serving special populations like survivors of Hurricane Katrina, victims of Human Trafficking, cults and more, my experience usually touches in on the kind of client who may feel out-of-place with other therapists or systems https://www.westcloudconsultingllc.com *and https://norcalpublicmedia.org/radio-programs/diaspora-dance-party

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Minnesota rather than a city like Minneapolis?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Minnesota from Saint Paul to Rochester! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Minnesota.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Addiction?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Addiction, is filtering therapists in Minnesota that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
