Life brings seasons of joy, challenge, uncertainty, and growth — and Scripture reminds us that “He has made everything beautiful in its time” (Ecclesiastes 3:11, NKJV). You were never meant to navigate these seasons alone. If you’re seeking a counselor who approaches healing with a pastor’s heart and a Christ‑centered worldview, I’m here to walk alongside you. I believe every person is created by God with purpose, dignity, and a calling that is uniquely theirs. My work is rooted in helping individuals rediscover that purpose and experience the hope, clarity, and restoration that come from aligning their lives with God’s truth. Whether you, your child, your spouse, or a family member is facing anxiety, walking through a difficult transition, or longing for deeper spiritual and personal growth, you will be met with compassion, prayerful support, and practical guidance. At Hope Connection Counseling & Therapy, the heart of this ministry is simple: to help people live with intention and step into the destiny God has prepared for them. This practice was founded out of a God‑given dream — a desire to create a safe, grace‑filled space where individuals can be honest, find healing, and experience the transforming work of Christ in their lives. If this resonates with your spirit, I invite you to reach out. You were created on purpose and for a purpose. Whatever season you’re in, God is still at work, and you don’t have to walk this journey alone. It would be an honor to support you as you pursue the life He has called you to live.

Life Transitions
Hi, I’m Whitney, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (licensed in Florida and Minnesota). I work with women who are navigating life transitions and feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or emotionally off-balance. Many of the women I support aren’t in crisis—they’re adjusting to change, juggling multiple responsibilities, or noticing that the coping strategies that used to work no longer feel enough. They often come to therapy looking for clarity, validation, and practical tools to help them feel steadier and more confident in this current season of life. My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and solution-focused. I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy or emotionally overwhelming to be effective. Instead, I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and gain insight into what’s contributing to your stress. Together, we focus on building coping skills, strengthening emotional awareness, and finding realistic ways to reduce stress and improve day-to-day balance. I work collaboratively with my clients and tailor therapy to fit your goals, personality, and pace. Our work is often short-term and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on helping you feel better equipped to handle life’s transitions within a few months rather than engaging in long-term, intensive therapy. If you’re looking for a therapist who offers validation, gentle guidance, and practical support during a time of change, I’d be honored to support you.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I choose to practice part-time because I truly enjoy this work and the people I have the privilege of walking alongside. Counseling isn’t just what I do—it’s work I value deeply. I believe meaningful change happens through genuine connection, trust, and a safe space where you feel heard and understood. I have experience working with both adolescents and adults, supporting individuals through substance use concerns, infertility, adoption journeys, and a wide range of mental health challenges. Whether you’re navigating a specific life transition or feeling weighed down by ongoing struggles, you don’t have to face it alone. I deeply respect the courage it takes to seek help. Reaching out is often the hardest step, and it’s also a powerful one. I’ve seen how people develop incredible strength, resilience, and clarity as they move through life’s difficulties. My role is to support you in discovering that strength within yourself and to walk with you as you build the life you want and deserve. If you’re ready to begin—or even just considering it—I welcome the opportunity to connect.

My goal is to work with each person individually from a person-centered perspective. I want you to feel that you are in control of your progress by identifying your needs and focusing on your strengths . My specialties include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral challenges, post-partum depression, parenting, chronic illness, and grief. I am available to see clients in Kentucky in-person or telehealth, and Michigan or Minnesota via telehealth. The person centered approach means that the client is the center of everything from the initial assessment, to the development of the goals, to the treatment that is provided. It is important that you know you are accepted and with therapy you are able to address the concerns you have and learn to effectively work through them. I understand therapy can feel uncomfortable and the thought of sharing yourself with someone you don't know (yet) can be overwhelming. Give me a call and we can talk for an initial conversation to see if it will be a good fit.

For those that are interested, I am comfortable incorporating faith and spiritual practice into the treatment experience. I do not provide couples or family therapy. Feel free to reach out to me with further questions!

Spring is often associated with renewal and growth. It can be a meaningful time to begin or continue your mental health journey. Just as change in nature happens gradually, personal growth also unfolds at its own pace. Therapy is space to support you in exploring where you are now, identifying what you need, and working toward meaningful change—one step at a time. I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), and I’ve spent my career helping adults navigate the ups and downs life throws our way. After several years working in Social Services and Mental Health, I returned to school as a non-traditional student to pursue my master’s in social work. For the past decade, I’ve served as both a Clinical Supervisor and Therapist, supporting adults as they work toward meaningful mental health recovery and long-term wellbeing. I help you make a plan that fits your style and is an investment in life-long benefits. I enjoy helping people recognize their own strengths and weaknesses. I encourage hope through skill building and reducing negative symptoms. Searching for a therapist is a huge and brave first step, and I’m genuinely glad you’re here. You deserve support, validation, and a space that helps you move toward the life you want. Please reach out to me, or book a session on my website, so that we can work together to build a life worth living for you.

I began my professional career knowing I wanted to help others. I started in the medical field and later transitioned into mental health, where my work aligned more closely with my values and long- term vision. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across multiple settings supporting adults who experience emotional, relational, and life stressors. I describe myself as a trauma-informed therapist with a background in both mental health and substance use disorder treatment. I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life stress, and substance use concerns. My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to support, validate, and provide insight as you lead your therapeutic journey.

Out of my 63 years of life in this planet, 28 of those years have been spent assisting others within a diverse number of areas and environments. Narcissistic Abuse/Antagonistic personality style partner or other person in your life? As part of my work with individuals dealing with divorce, widowhood, and coparenting, I provide care and assistance for individuals directly or indirectly involved in relationship with an individual who displays behaviors which may indicate a narcissistic or antagonistic personality style. Note: It is neither possible or ethical for a provider to diagnose an individual who has not come in for assessment/diagnosis/treatment. However, a provider can work with an individual to learn to cope and navigate difficult relationships with difficult individuals. In addition to individual in partner relationships with such an individual, I also work with family members who are struggling with how to relate, support, and cope with a loved one who appears to be entangled in such a relationship. Complex circumstances need to be considered in deciding whether to remain in the relationship or to consider it's necessary to consider leaving. For folks who have separated or divorced from such a situation, the recovery and aftermath intervention and support is often needed on order to heal, restore, and recover. If children and the courts are involved, there are additional areas to address. I also provide care for adults who are highly intelligent and possibly/likely on the spectrum. Regardless of or whether an adult is diagnosable with autism, being highly intelligent can present with social and emotional challenges. On the side, I enjoy writing, performing, teaching, and recording music, both vocal and guitar. I have been teaching/empowering "non-singers" to sing for over 30 years with a therapeutic program I have developed called "Singing in the Shower."

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, stress, and challenges related to medical conditions. Together, we’ll explore ways to ease symptoms that may be interfering with your daily life. We’ll regularly check in on what’s working, adjust strategies as needed, and focus on goals that matter most to you. I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and flexibility and collaboration are key parts of the process. I am licensed to provide therapy in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

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 Minnesota. 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 a specific issue?

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.

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 happens during the first therapy 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.
