Hi! I'm Jen Tucker, a licensed mental health counselor who is passionate about serving others. I'm a military veteran and a military spouse. I'm also a wife, mom, and grandmother. I've been through a lot in my life. Most of you have too. After all, you find yourself here looking for something.
It is my firm belief that each and every one of us has tremendous potential. We all have unique talents and skills, honed and sharpened through our life experiences. These experiences, while crucial to shaping us, can also leave us hurt, confused, numb, or insecure. It is paramount that we stop along our journey to take stock, address our needs, heal, and refocus. Sometimes, we realize we may benefit from having extra support or guidance through these moments. That is where therapy can help.
Throughout my counseling career, I have had the privilege of being able to walk beside clients as they process the past, learn to be comfortable in the present, and get excited for the future. I am certified in trauma and treat clients with a wide range of concerns. Whether you feel ready to dive into therapy, or you are just contemplating the idea, I'd love to hear from you.
I am currently accepting video clients for individual therapy.
If you aren't ready to make contact, I have some resources available for self-reflection. Check out my blog at NotWavingButDrowning.org or my TikTok @MHMinute, where you'll find videos on a variety of mental health topics.

I am an independently licensed therapist out of Minnesota, I have been working as a therapist since 2022.
Before coming to Grow Therapy, I worked at an Autism focused clinic and I absolutely LOVED the experience. While working there, I was able to utilize numerous resources and expertise to build my knowledge and understanding of clients who have dynamic needs of medical, educational, occupational, interpersonal understanding, regulation, social and family relationships.
My clinical background in general is not limited to the diagnoses above, I am open to working with a variety of diagnoses anxiety, depression, etc.
My clinical skills show strengths in areas of supporting others work through interpersonal conflict, life adjustment, developing resiliency, navigating intense emotions, and develop personal understanding. Educating and supporting others through the process of understanding how to best support themselves with the tools we have, this is often a guiding component to how I support. I try to make therapy engaging and interactive for each individual to support effectiveness of therapy.
I also identify apart of the BIPOC and LGBTQAI+ population and enjoy serving those who also identify within these populations. My focus for client's is to establish emotionally safe and non-judgmental spaces.

I'm so glad you're here!
I'm an LICSW with over 20 years of experience working with a wide range of clients. My background includes extensive experience serving children, teens, young adults, parents, and families in an outpatient setting. I bring a casual, down to earth approach to therapy with a focus on making the process feel approachable and positive. Showing up as you are is the only thing you need to work well with me. If you're someone who is feeling hesitant to start therapy for yourself or your child, or you’ve struggled to find a therapist who is a good fit; know that my first priority is to help make it feel comfortable, natural and so much less daunting than you might be thinking. Just book a session and show up. Leap and the net will appear!
A little more about me: I'm a Minnesota native currently living in Florida. I spend a lot of my time as a sports mom on the sidelines at soccer and volleyball games, watching professional hockey (especially the MN Wild!), and being hopelessly bad at gardening in Florida.

Hello, first to introduce myself, I am Ashley.
I provide therapy to adolescents and adults ages 12 and up who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal relationship issues, chronic illnesses, personality-related challenges, struggles with boundaries, and perinatal mental health concerns, including high risk pregnancies and NICU experiences. I also have experience working with survivors of abuse. Many of my clients are going through life transitions, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or noticing patterns that feel hard to change on their own.
My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, which means I focus on building a genuine, supportive relationship where you feel safe, heard, and understood. I offer practical tools for managing emotions, coping with stress, and navigating difficult moments with more confidence.
Reaching out to start therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re unsure what to expect or whether things can really feel different. My goal is to make that process feel a little easier.

I strive to offer a space where you can show up as you are—without judgment—and feel genuinely heard and understood.

You deserve a place where you don't have to pretend you're okay or worry about being misunderstood. I strive to create a space where you can bring your whole self, your strengths, your struggles, your questions, and even the parts of yourself that have never felt easy to explain.

I provide diagnostic assessments for autism and ADHD, offer support for autistic children, adolescents, and adults, and also provide support and resources for family members and caregivers of autistic individuals. Every person experiences the world differently, so rather than relying on assumptions, I take the time to understand your unique story, how your mind works, and what has shaped your experiences. Together, we'll identify practical strategies to reduce distress while building a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and sustainable. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling truly understood.

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.

Welcome! I am Robyn. These days many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and depressed. Sometimes they feel as if no matter what they do, it isn't enough and either they or those around them are never happy with themselves. How about you? Are you trying to manage to be the best parent, spouse, and employee that you can be? Are you struggling with a recent life transition or the loss of a loved one or relationship? Are you lying awake at night reviewing the list of things you think you should have accomplished? Or are you ruminating on what you said to someone, how you said it, and what you should have done differently? You are not alone! Many people experience these feelings and you do not have to continue to feel like this! You CAN FEEL BETTER!
I work with adults of all ages who are struggling with these things by providing a safe space to talk about and work through these issues. I strive to empower them to discern their strengths, their priorities, and the barriers to feeling better. Once we’ve done that, I help them find ways to address those barriers and build new coping skills they can use to overcome the challenges of anxiety, depression, managing change, and people-pleasing.
Change is not easy! I am impressed by your courage in taking the first step of asking for help to start your journey toward feeling better! You deserve to have someone skilled and trustworthy to guide you to grow and heal. I will compassionately work with you using evidence-based techniques to get beyond the challenges you are experiencing and on the road to feeling better! I’d love to have the privilege of working with you!

I have been a professional counselor for 18 years. Counseling is my second career, after working for twenty years in business management. My background and training include experience with addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety & chronic pain . I consider myself to be warm, empathetic, articulate and honest.
My counseling style involves a patient-centered approach (you are the focus), along with values clarification and thought clarification (cognitive-behavioral) elements. I believe every successful client/counselor relationship begins by developing a sense of safety and trust for the client. Given the state of the world these days, many people are struggling emotionally. People come to therapy in hopes of finding a possible solution to problems and to feel better. It is my job to help you meet those needs.
In general, I often work with clients who may have issues with personal addiction, family members with addiction, or individual issues with anxiety and/or depression. Together, we will identify your challenges and your goals - where your life is now, and where you would like to to be in the future. While I may use my experience and expertise to generate possible ideas and actions to take, the ultimate direction of help rests with you, the client.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, or challenges with eating and body image, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes.
I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe being themselves. My approach is collaborative and practical — together we explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build coping strategies that actually fit your life, and work toward goals that matter to you.
I use an evidence-based approach that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness-based techniques and Measurement informed care. I tailor therapy to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and experiences. Whether you are dealing with constant worry, low self-esteem, relationship stress, emotional eating, perfectionism, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, you do not have to navigate it alone.
I want to help people heal the relationship they have with themselves, their emotions, and their bodies.”

This allows the patient to continue to manipulate their environment instead of relying on self-support. I offer my skills and understanding of personality, the analysis of interpersonal communication, "games," and life-script.

I believe therapy should feel calm, respectful, and genuinely supportive. I create a space where people can slow down, speak openly, and feel heard without judgment or pressure. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative, allowing clients to explore their experiences at a pace that feels comfortable while still working toward meaningful change.
Many people come to therapy carrying stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or past experiences while continuing to manage daily responsibilities. I enjoy helping people make sense of what they are going through, build insight, and reconnect with their strengths. Conversations are honest and thoughtful, with a focus on understanding the whole person rather than just one concern.
My goal is to offer steady guidance while respecting each client’s individuality, goals, and values. Therapy becomes a space to reflect, gain clarity, heal, and begin moving forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.

My first career includes 17 years of retail management. I worked in multiple divisions, environments, and roles within the retail management industry. Most of my experience was in big-box retail environments or corporate offices, so I understand the expectations and stressors of P&L management, marketing, staff performance/recruitment/training & development, shrinkage, O.S.H.A. compliance, and merchandising. I transitioned from the retail management industry to the human services industry in March 2010 after earning my Master’s degree in Human Services, with a specialty in Mental Health Counseling. I recently obtained a doctoral degree in Human and Social Services.

I’ve been in practice for over 15 years and use an ACT‑forward, relational approach that helps clients feel grounded, capable, and aligned with their values. I work especially well with adoptees, men, and adults carrying complex childhood experiences who want practical tools, honest reflection, and a space that doesn’t pathologize their story.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 5 years of experience. I spend my free time being active, watching sports, and connecting with friends and family. I work well with client's who feel stuck and unable to work through uncomfortable and sometimes painful emotions. I help client's practice pursuing their values rather than avoid discomfort helping them to feel more empowered and balanced emotionally.

Hello, my name is Ashley, and I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Crown College, and I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals, couples, children, and families from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences.
At the heart of my work is a deep belief that each person is the author of their own story. I see counseling as a sacred space—where healing, clarity, and growth can unfold without judgment. My role is to walk with you through whatever season you’re in, helping you process emotions, navigate trauma, and reconnect with your own voice and values. Whether you're facing grief, anxiety, relational conflict, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to support you with compassion and curiosity.
I work with clients navigating:
Anxiety and depression
Family conflict and relational stress
Grief and loss
Trauma and recovery
Life transitions and identity shifts
Stress management
Eating disorders and body image concerns
Self-esteem and personal growth
Personality disorders and emotional regulation challenges
I strive to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered—where your story matters and your healing is honored.
Outside of my work, I’m a mother of four who enjoys reading, walking, and spending time with my family. I’m a lifelong learner and love expanding my knowledge of psychology and the human experience.

My practice is grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship is the essential ingredient for change. Relational therapy prioritizes human connection as the starting point for healing, accessing vulnerabilities, exploring identities, processing trauma, and healing childhood wounds. I have worked in the field of relationship violence, sexual violence, childhood abuse, and interpersonal trauma for over 10 years and am passionate about advocating for survivors' rights and changes to the systems that uphold and enforce gender-based violence.

What happens during the first therapy session?
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.
