I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to show up as yourself — without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and grounded in authenticity, humor, and compassion. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, supported, gently challenged, and empowered to discover solutions that feel meaningful to them. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, military families, and individuals navigating grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, and serious mental illness. I have a deep appreciation for helping people move through difficult seasons while building insight, resilience, and self-understanding along the way. My style blends psychoeducation with practical tools and evidence-based approaches including mindfulness, CBT, narrative therapy, strengths-based and solution-focused therapy, somatic techniques, and play-based interventions when appropriate. Above all, I aim to meet clients where they are and help them move toward growth and healing at their own pace.

I always work from a strength based approach. You are the author of you own life and we will work together to write the next chapter. I have been in this business of helping people find their path and heal for over 40 years. If you are looking for a mature therapist who understands your needs and concerns we will work together easily. My degree is in Clinical Social Work but my credentials are a life process of experiencing many challenges and losses and striving to learn and grow from all of them, everyday, all the time. I have a wicked sense of humor and a strong sense of the irony and quirkiness of life. I take my clients very seriously, but I don't take myself too seriously and laughing can sometimes be the best medicine.

Life is ever-changing, and sometimes, change can be difficult and uncomfortable.

Although I work with clients of all ages, I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. I am passionate about helping clients cope with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, severe and persistent mental illness, family issues, interpersonal relationships, and life transitions.

Hello. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been practicing for over 20 years. I work with adults, couples, and families including children, and adolescents. 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.

Feeling stuck, stressed, or misunderstood? You’re not alone — and support is closer than you think. I’m Karie, a neurodivergent Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor certified in ADHD and autism, and the founder of Imagine Perspectives, a mental health practice established in 2024. I work with children, teens, and adults who are ready to navigate life’s challenges, build confidence, and find practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. Since 2012, I’ve also offered adult and pediatric hypnotherapy to help clients achieve emotional balance, clarity, and personal growth. At Imagine Perspectives, therapy isn’t just about sitting and talking. It’s about creating a warm, welcoming space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. We use interactive tools, games, art, and play to help clients explore challenges in ways that feel natural, engaging, and empowering — meeting each person exactly where they are. In addition to therapy, we offer one- and two-day interactive workshops for children and adults. These experiences provide a chance to pause, reset, and gain tools that build resilience, spark confidence, and inspire hope — even when life feels overwhelming. They’re practical, fun, and designed to leave participants feeling refreshed and ready to approach life with a new perspective. Whether you’re here for therapy or a workshop, my goal is the same: to create a space where you feel truly seen, supported, and empowered. A place where your experiences are honored, your challenges met with compassion, and your strengths celebrated. Because everyone deserves a space to grow, connect, and simply be themselves.

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.

The field finally knows how to help you go beyond coping with your most difficult issues, to honestly resolving them and proceeding in genuine feelings of wellbeing and gratitude. I share simple, insightful principles with you that expedite your finding the answers you seek and making the changes you want - recovering your feelings of wellbeing and confidence. I am publishing a four-book series that outlines and describes this simple step-by-step system (recommended but not required). Our sessions are relaxed and conversational. The process is less on expressing and examining your problems, although I take time to understand them at the beginning. The process is more about cultivating the ability to listen deeply to yourself and your inner wisdom, wellbeing and power. It will guide you to your answers and back to how feels and works best for you. Once understood, this is a free-flowing, easy and enjoyable experience.

I’m also a Board-Approved Supervisor in South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. I specialize in working with adults and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing. I integrate whole-person strategies that support mental, emotional, and physical well-being. I believe therapy should feel safe, empowering, and purposeful—a space where you can heal, grow, and reconnect with your authentic self.

I specialize in providing psychotherapy to adults experiencing anxiety disorders, chronic stress, depressive symptoms, trauma-related conditions, and challenges associated with life transitions. My clinical approach is particularly effective for individuals who feel entrenched in maladaptive cognitive, emotional, or behavioral patterns that contribute to distress and impaired functioning. I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based therapeutic modality used in the treatment of trauma and PTSD. ART integrates elements of cognitive and experiential therapies with eye movements to facilitate the rapid processing and resolution of distressing memories, reduce physiological reactivity, and support adaptive emotional regulation.

I work with individuals 15 and up, navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, or that constant “what am I doing with my life?” loop.

I hold an LCSW in TX, MN, ND and TN, and have over 8 years of experience supporting individuals and families from all walks of life.

I'm a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. My approach focuses on developing awareness of how our thoughts, emotions and behaviors are connected, fostering resilience, and empowering clients to work through their challenges. I enjoy creating a non-judgmental and affirming space for adults with short-term or long-standing mental health and emotional distress. Feelings of anxiety and the need for isolation can be internal cues to request reconnection to what makes our lives meaningful. Ideally, enjoying the moment, knowing how to soothe overwhelming feelings, and engaging our sparkling personalities helps us feel alive. My clients enjoy my approach of exploring practical strategies by using guiding questions. Exploring thoughts and emotional pain benefits from curiosity and compassion. I am also trained in EMDR, which can be supportive in reframing negative belief systems and releasing trauma.

Offering direct, compassionate therapy that turns awareness into real-world change. Feeling a bit stuck in life? Been in therapy before, but not sure how to use your tools? Do you identify as a high achiever or perfectionist who's motivated for change? Then we may be a good fit! As someone who has done therapy before, I understand the first step to transformation is not always easy. Welcome! I'm Janna Fennell, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in MN, VA, and NY. With 10 years of experience, I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology and English from Dartmouth College and my Master’s in Counseling from Bethel University. My therapy style is direct, yet compassionate and collaborative. I create a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space while staying honest and solution-focused. I use a holistic, integrative approach, blending evidence-based talk therapy with mind-body and mindfulness practices. I ask thought-provoking questions, offer feedback, and challenge unhelpful patterns. This has helped teens and adults learn new tools, self-reflect, and dig deep so they can grow and create changes that they seek. I encourage people to actively participate in therapy and expect effort in making changes to achieve their goals. I use a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to your individual needs. Some approaches include CBT, DBT, client-focused, short-term solution-focused, strengths-based, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and integrative mental health methods (e.g., breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, PMR, body scan). For clients new to therapy, keep in mind it may sometimes require stepping outside of your comfort zone by learning new tools that you may not have tried before, hearing a different perspective you may not have considered, and even talking about concerns that may be difficult to process, but it does get easier with time. Remember, I am there every step of the way to help guide and support you!

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.

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.

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, Grief, is filtering therapists in Minnesota that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.

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.
