How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

Hello! I started my group practice, Water & Stone, to offer people a better chance to find the right therapist for them. I have been working for over 10 years to bring mindfulness and contemplative psychotherapy to those interested in gaining insight and living a full life. I can’t wait to hear how we can support you in making it through a difficult time or finding new meaning in your daily life. 

With extensive experience and a compassionate approach, I am committed to supporting adults through their mental health journeys. Holding a Psy.D. from Immaculata University since 2016, my dedication to mental wellness spans back to 2007. I specialize in assisting individuals facing challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression, utilizing evidence-based treatments with a strong emphasis on a person-centered perspective. My goal is to foster a collaborative and supportive environment where clients feel truly understood and empowered. *Specialties •Psychologist *Conditions treated •Anxiety •Depression •ADHD •PTSD •Bipolar disorders •Personality disorders •Anger Management •Behavioural Therapy •Mood disorders •Trauma and PTSD •Behavioral Issues •Chronic Illness •Chronic Pain •Codependency •Coping Skills •Dual Diagnosis •Emotional Disturbance •Grief •Life Transitions •Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum •Relationship Issues •Self Esteem •Sexual Abuse •Stress •Women's Issues •Family Issues •Maternal Mental Health •Men's Issues *Treatment philosophy I use a wide range of approaches to therapy including humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT.

I have accumulated over 33 years of experience in the healthcare field, starting in medical records and later transitioning into the insurance sector. Subsequently, I assumed the role of Violence Prevention Coordinator/Facilitator, where I educated healthcare professionals on assisting individuals facing sexual or physical assault. During this time, I also led the Ramsey County Sexual Assault Protocol Team, bringing together a multidisciplinary group in the Saint Paul area to create victim-sensitive protocols for survivors of sexual assault. Concurrently, I pursued and completed a master's degree in Counseling and Psychological Services. Opting for a different path than a PsyD, I entered the field of Nursing. For 14 years, I dedicated my efforts to working with individuals dealing with eating disorders, finding immense fulfillment in this area. In May 2022, I accomplished my PMHNP from the University of North Dakota and subsequently worked at a psychiatric clinic in the Fargo Moorhead area for about a year before deciding to establish my private practice. In my current practice, I collaborate with clients using a holistic and person-centered approach to help them achieve their treatment goals. I possess a sincere compassion for individuals across the lifespan grappling with mental illness. I strongly believe that both physical and mental health are integral components of optimal well-being. Within my therapeutic approach, I prioritize integrating clients' beliefs, traditions, and values into the treatment plan, acknowledging the profound significance of these elements in the therapeutic process. *Specialties •Mental Health •Psychiatry •Psychotherapy •Child Psychiatry •Preventive Medicine •Medication Management •Evaluations •Assessments •Treatment planning •Adolescents •Adults •Geriatric *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Bipolar disorders •PTSD •ADHD •Eating disorders •Relationship issues •Mood disorders •Substance abuse •Personality disorders •Anxiety disorders •Trauma and PTSD •Pediatric Psychiatry •Counseling •Autism •Behavioral issues •Emotional trauma •Anger Management •Grief and Loss •Lifestyle counseling •Weight management •Sleep problems •Insomnia •Schizophrenia •Addiction •Panic attacks •Geriatric Psychiatry •Substance use disorder •Personality disorder •Preventive care education *Treatment philosophy Nicole works collaboratively with her clients using a holistic and person-centered approach to meet their treatment goals.

Hello! My name is Tara and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from The University of Southern California (USC) and my Bachelors in Psychology and Social Behavior from the University of California, Irvine (UCI). I have worked in a college setting, private practice, residential treatment center for teens, and more unconventionally, in matchmaking and dating apps. Working in settings so vastly different from one another has allowed me to work with many people with various diagnoses and backgrounds. While I have experience working with more severe and acute mental health concerns, due to the virtual nature of my practice at this time, my practice is currently mostly seeing people struggling with romantic, familial, or other relationship concerns, anxiety, pandemic support, interpersonal conflict, self esteem, creatives and professionals, students, and more.      For more information, please contact me for a free consultation. 

Hello and Welcome! It has been a dream of mine to become a therapist since I was about 11 years old. Sexual health discussions have never made me uncomfortable in any way, and I like to provide a safe space for clients to discuss these issues.

I have a sex therapy certification through the Sexual Health Alliance, and will be pursuing AASECT certification as well. I have attended trans/gender diverse vocal alteration training. Respark is an inclusive practice that aims to work with clients of all backgrounds and lifestyles.

I will work with with you directly to determine the best recommendations and options for you including community resources and referrals if appropriate. Everyone deserves to feel heard and supported and you are no exception.
