A Multidisciplinary Team of Mental Health Professionals and Support Staff

Anna Grimm

Anna is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of experience in her field. She received her undergraduate training at Luther College in Decorah, IA and graduate training at Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, MN.

Anna’s work stems primarily from the Internal Family Systems modality, an approach that believes each one of us has a natural leader and many parts inside of us that all make up a whole. Life can get difficult when this inner system falls out of balance and parts of us take over. She can help you get curious about what’s happening inside, better understand why you do what you do, and work to help you find the best answers to whatever it is that you are struggling with. In her experience, this happens most effectively when people are able to get curious about reconnecting to their most valuable resource – themselves!  This, in addition to her work with Brainspotting, EMDR, and Equine Experiential Therapy can help you find relief from a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma.

Anna is passionate about people’s ability to heal and loves the work she does. This, in addition to the safe place she works to create unwavering compassion, can help you meet the goals you bring to therapy and more. She loves to learn and has a strong commitment to bringing highly effective, trauma-informed, evidence-based modalities to her work with you.

Anna is certified in Brainspotting, EMDRIA trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems Level 1, and has advanced training in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.

When not at work, Anna is passionate about her family, animals of all kinds, photography, creativity, and learning.

Beth Rennee

I believe we are all just trying to find our way through - through whatever circumstances, relationships, pain, conflict, confusion or growing we may find ourselves in - and she is confident we can all benefit from a little help as we figure it out. I will empower you, help you find peace and security and discover ways to make sense of your world. I will utilize my training and intuition to partner with clients on their self-led journey, adding perspective and thoughts along the way. 

I love working with parents and children as they grow together and build healthy bonds into their relationships. Using approaches such as Filial, CBT and an experiential family lens, together we will build towards your family goals.

I work with clients utilizing mindfulness, narrative therapy, CBT skills, and relational-focused therapies. I enjoy working with people of all ages, manage new transitions and build resilience and tolerance in the face of life's challenges, depression, anxiety and trauma. 

I specifically know the honor of working with the seasons of Grief and Loss. To move with loss is not just getting through it, though that is a feat in and of itself, but hold that we can learn and love through the process as well. I am trained as an End of Life Doula with INELDA and have extensive experience supporting clients on this journey. 

I enjoy many things when not at work - making meals with my husband, counting bird species (but technically I cannot call myself a birder .....yet) soaking in the sun, and spending time with my family. 

Eric Larson

Eric sees individuals, couples and families that are struggling with a wide range of relationship issues. Eric is trained to address problems related to addiction, adolescent issues, marital difficulties, domestic violence/abuse, grief and loss, parenting difficulties, anger management and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Eric has a special interest in working with athletes struggling with the emotional, mental and physical demands that athletes of all levels encounter.

I believe people need a therapist they can trust and who has the ability to understand their experience. My focus is to help bring awareness to a client through the understanding of influences of the past and their effect on present behavior. My strengths lie in the ability to connect and create a safe and trusting environment in order to work on and through difficult issues to provide a more meaningful and balanced life.

Karen Held

Telehealth Only Provider

Karen is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in treating adults across the lifespan who are experiencing stress and burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions including grief and divorce, coparenting and parenting issues, and substance use disorders. Karen also works with adolescents ages 13+ while working collaboratively with parents to build understanding, reconnection, and healthy communication skills in the family unit.

Karen first entered the health field as a massage therapist and this training strongly influenced her therapy philosophy as a psychologist. She learned to look beyond symptoms and diagnoses to help clients optimize health and well-being through awareness, education, and growth. While working with clients, Karen employs a holistic, wellness model which assesses physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and vocational health to help clients create meaning and purpose in all areas of their lives.

Using a thoughtful, nonjudgmental style, Karen works collaboratively with clients to develop an individualized treatment plan that is client centered and strength based. Clients are taught creative, practical tools based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Practicing these learned skills and completing assignments between sessions are an integral key to success as a client. Through dedication and consistency, clients will see positive changes in how they think, feel, and act leading to more fulfillment and authenticity in life.

Laura Mortenson

Laura is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and has spent nearly two decades providing guidance and support to individuals dealing with the many different types of grief and loss. She has an expansive understanding of the surprising and often unacknowledged ways each one of us is touched by grief and loss as we journey through our lives, and she is keenly aware of how various types of losses, such as ambiguous loss, disenfranchised loss, and traumatic loss can at times feel overwhelming and isolating. She has a strong interest in hearing each person tell their own story and firmly believes that each individual comes in as the expert in their own life and has the potential to learn and incorporate skills that will allow them to work through challenges in a healthy and productive way.

In addition to Grief and Loss, Laura works with those struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, as well as those navigating challenging life circumstances and interpersonal relationships. Laura uses a client centered and strength-based approach, meeting clients where they are at, utilizing therapeutic modalities that best fit each client such as; narrative therapy, mindfulness, DBT and CBT skills. 

Laura graduated from Wheaton College with a BA in Literature and received her MSW from College of St Catherine/University of St Thomas.

Laura grew up with a love of books and music and to this day, she is often struck by the way that both of these mediums speak to deep parts of us and offer insight and universality to what it means to be human. When she is not at work, she loves walks and has recently fallen in love with various podcasts that cause her to ponder, laugh, and sometimes cry. She enjoys road trips and new adventures and also a cup of coffee with a couple of good friends. She has lived in MN pretty much her whole life and she loves it here, going “Up North” whenever possible to enjoy a quiet retreat.

Lizabeth Flink

My career in counseling began in 1991 in the Palm Beach County, Florida jails working to help men and women suffering from addition. Since then, I have had the fortune to experience the sharing of many stories in a variety of settings including; women and children in shelters, adolescents in juvenile homes, children in foster care, the developmentally disabled in group homes and several treatment centers for addiction and alcoholism.  Within these settings I have provided therapy to individuals struggling with Substance use, Depressions, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Personality Disorders, Eating Disorders and Life Transitions. 

For the last six years, I have been in private practice and have come to know my own strengths; I am empathic, I instill hope and I am nonjudgmental. Most of all, I believe in the ability to heal. Through the years I have developed skills in several disciplines. I utilize an eclectic evidence-based approach to therapy incorporating tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ), Humanistic Psychology, Existential Therapy, Spirituality, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT ), and Trauma Informed. Most of all, I respect each person as a unique individual who is capable, has strengths, has purpose and desires a joyous life. 

On a personal note, I love spending time with my family, two dogs and friends. I hike, read, bike, practice yoga and meditation and paint with acrylics and oils.

Lydia Cotch

I am a warm and determined therapist who is solutions focused and strengths based. I will meet my clients "where they're at" and form goals thoughtfully and collaboratively. My approach to therapy is an open and honest conversation, grounded in respect, commitment and humor. I firmly believe that we all deserve grace as we're figuring things out. 

I enjoy working with families and relationships through a collaborative lens and as an advocate for each participant, doing my best to ensure that each client in the room feels as though they have value and a respected voice. 

In addition, I have experience working with adolescents, couples, families, and individuals in many different settings; intensive in-patient hospitals, high schools, outpatient clinics, in client's homes and community and in group therapy. 

My education is grounded in marriage and family therapy, bringing a  systemic based lens that considers how a clients environment, relationships, culture, experiences and influences have led them to their current season in life. 

On a person note, I have two dogs, who will undoubtedly appear in any virtual meeting. I love to garden and cook. My husband and I love to host - we have dinner parties regularly and firmly believe the more the merrier, bring on the chaos!
