I'm so glad you're here! I'm an LICSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) 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 and collaborative approach to therapy with a focus on making the process feel approachable and positive. My goal is to create a relaxed space where you feel comfortable showing up as you are. If you're someone who is feeling hesitant to start therapy, know that my first priority is to make it feel comfortable, natural and so much less daunting than you might be thinking! No need for any prep, 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 cheering on my two school age kids from the sidelines at soccer and volleyball games and watching professional hockey (especially the MN Wild!)

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.

As a therapist dually licensed in counseling and substance use treatment, I believe every person carries unique strengths, stories, and untapped potential. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, EMDR, DBT, IFS, ACT, Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and practical life-skills development. I’m passionate about helping clients understand how early experiences and relationships shape the way they see themselves, navigate challenges, and connect with others—and I’m continually inspired by the powerful ways therapy, supported by neuroscience, can help the brain and body heal. Outside the therapy room, I find joy in traveling, lifelong learning, reading, and cherishing time with my friends and family. I’m also deeply connected to the mind–body relationship and believe that true healing honors both. And on any given day, you’ll likely hear me mention my love of animals—especially my beloved corgis—who remind me daily of the importance of presence, curiosity, and play.

Meet Mike Arieta, LICSW Hello and welcome. I’m Mike Arieta, a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and teens through life’s most complex challenges. Since 1995, I’ve worked across diverse settings—from foster care and homelessness to adoption and refugee support—and have been practicing clinically since 2011. My therapeutic approach is body-based and trauma-informed. I believe our bodies often speak before our minds can make sense of what we’re feeling. This philosophy guides my work with clients navigating trauma, PTSD, and transitions that require deep emotional resilience. I integrate movement-based and somatic strategies to help clients reconnect with themselves and their communities. Currently, I’m completing my Doctor of Social Work degree at Tulane University, where my research focuses on trauma recovery and evidence-informed practices that foster healing. I also hold advanced training in adoption competence and provide support to foster youth, adoptive families, and caregivers navigating complex systems. Therapy, for me, is a collaborative journey. I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they reclaim their stories, build strength, and move toward meaningful change. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my work—I look forward to connecting with you.

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!

I transitioned from the retail management industry to the human services industry in March of 2010 after receiving my master’s degree in Human Services with a specialty in Mental Health Counseling.

Hello there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Minnesota is where I call home. Most of my 25 years of experience has been in a variety of therapeutic educational settings, primarily with teens and young adults. When we begin the therapy process, I thoroughly enjoy learning about the person who is in front of me. My style is to partner with you, together we can figure out what you feel is most important to focus on in therapy and if you are not sure what exactly that is, it's OK, we will figure it out together.

Welcome! I'm Shequitta Lenoir a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota and Texas. I have practiced in the mental health field for 19 years assisting individuals in identifying and practicing coping skills to manage symptoms they experience. I have worked with couples and families in navigating through barriers that plague their relationships (ex: anger, mistrust, lack of communication, etc). In my work with teenagers, I have assisted them in working through challenges in their environments whether it's at school, in friendships or within their family dynamics. I am happy you chose to invest in your health and wellness. So often we take time to focus on others which is endearing, and it is also important to take time to focus on your specific areas of need and I'm hopeful we can do that together.

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 UCare - Medicaid?

Yes! If you use UCare - Medicaid you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have UCare - Medicaid 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.
