Hello! First, starting therapy is an act of courage, and I am so glad you are honoring your needs by seeking support. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counsellor (LPCC) and yoga teacher based in Minnesota. I received my Masters in Counseling from Adler Graduate School and have been practicing therapy for 10 years. I specialize in helping Highly Sensitive People (HSP's) and emerging adults struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem challenges, and emotion regulation. As a fellow Highly Sensitive Person, I understand the unique challenges of navigating an oftentimes overstimulating world. I combine my personal experiences with professional expertise to create a compassionate and empowering space for reflection and growth. My approach combines mindfulness, therapeutic yoga, self-compassion, brainspotting and evidence-based techniques to empower my clients to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and create fulfilling lives.

Hi, I'm Emily! Oof-Change is hard and I am so glad you're here! When there is too much pain in life, we can feel overwhelmed, powerless, or stuck. Using evidence-based practices, I will work with you to build tools, examine your patterns and obstacles, and empower your strengths and inner wisdom so you can emerge with a greater sense of meaning and the ability to move in a new direction. I work collaboratively with my clients and describe my style as warm, thoughtful, creative, transparent, and empowering. I meet each person where they're at and respect the resistance that often accompanies change. Together we'll figure out what hasn't worked and why and try new ways of creating the life you want. While I tailor the work towards each individual, I enjoy introducing creative interventions beyond typical "talk therapy" including writing, art, role play, bibliotherapy, and apps.

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 LGBTQ?

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, LGBTQ, 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.
