Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Amanda Tieri, and I’ve been a social worker for over 15 years. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging and most meaningful moments. My work has taken place primarily in healthcare settings, where I’ve supported people of all ages and backgrounds as they navigate illness, loss, transitions, and healing. What I’ve learned over the years is that every person’s story matters. Whether you’re seeking therapy for the first time or returning to it after some time away, I want you to know that this is a space where you will be heard, respected, and supported without judgment. My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a deep belief in your capacity for growth. I bring not only clinical experience but also a genuine curiosity about who you are and what matters most to you.

At different times in one's life, painful feelings such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem may be present. Life stressors, complicated interpersonal relationships and more can overpower one's coping resources. At this time, seeking help in the form of therapy can be beneficial. Are you interested in moving beyond feelings of sadness and worry? Are you looking to create more meaningful relationships in your life? Are you seeking more meaning and purpose in your life? If so, counseling can be helpful in starting on this journey. I view therapy as a collaborative endeavor and work to create a warm and supportive space in which my clients feel safe to explore difficult concerns. I bring engaged listening, thoughtful questions and an outside perspective to the therapeutic relationship. I work with my clients to identify hopes and goals for the process of therapy. Based on these identified goals, I choose tools and techniques that I believe would be beneficial. I bring a humanistic/client-centered orientation to therapy and incorporate mind-body, interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral approaches in my work.

If you're here because your past traumas are creeping up on you, what you show the world doesn't align with what's on the inside, or your anxiety/depression has depleted you---I want to work with you. You might be someone who has a hard time asking for help, so the fact that you're even thinking about getting it is a big step. You don't have to keep feeling the way you are. Sometimes, we just need a therapist to guide us along our path to feeling better. I want you to feel equipped to handle life’s ever-changing ups and downs, and to be able to do it with a sense of purpose, stability, and self-awareness. I work best with clients who are young professionals (in their 20's-30's) or youth (10 and up). They're ready for real change. Clients who are a good fit for me might come to therapy because they have a hard time calming down, feel trapped by their traumas, struggle with perfectionism, or are just feeling like something is missing in their lives. My style of therapy is warm and nonjudgmental. We'll come together to look at how the present is intertwined with your past, and find ways that work for you to cope. When it comes to trauma, I don't believe you need to even fully remember it to heal from it. If you need help but don't know what questions to ask, that's ok! Reach out for a free consultation.

Hey--I'm Julie. I offer therapy that focuses on what matters to you and making changes that matter to you. Whether you're a queer or trans person fighting to be seen & heard on your terms, or in a relationship hijacked by conflict & pain, or your struggling to keep up with *all the things*, I can help. My specialty is asking questions that open pathways to your preferred tomorrow. I don't do lengthy and intrusive "intakes." I'm ready for the conversation you want to have. I'm also a professor--I teach at the University of Minnesota in the Youth Studies program. I know how sucky & stressful it is to juggle school w/other responsibilities. I know that some of you may be: precariously housed; living with food insecurity; facing the violence of racism, homo-and transphobia, white nationalist threats, sexism, and other oppressive systems; and/or squeaking by on poverty wages. That's all stuff that f*cks with you and we can find ways together to stand up and reclaim your life. Read more at my website, www.2stories.com, or give me a call/shoot me an email and I'll be happy to answer your questions about meeting together. In solidarity, Julie

At Twin Cities ADHD, we work best with students who are feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or misunderstood—especially those who’ve been told they just need to “try harder” or “get organized,” but haven’t been given real tools or support. Whether you’ve had an ADHD diagnosis for years or you’re just starting to wonder if ADHD might be part of your story, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I specialize in helping college students understand how their brains work, build systems that match their strengths, and feel more confident navigating school, relationships, and everyday life. Many of my clients deal with procrastination, perfectionism, emotional ups and downs, or feeling like they’re falling behind despite trying their best. My approach is practical, collaborative, and free of judgment. We focus on what’s going right, not just what’s going wrong. If you're looking for a space where you can be real, get tools that actually work, and feel seen for who you are—not just your symptoms—we’d love to support you.

My training experiences as a clinical psychologist have spanned a broad range of treatment settings (inpatient, outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization) and treatment populations (adults, adolescents, and children). I have worked with many types of people throughout my career: from high-functioning professionals who are experiencing job-related stress, to individuals suffering from chronic and persistent mental illness. Above all, I specialize in helping people heal “relational trauma.” This term is a broad one, and difficult to succinctly describe (but I’ll try my best) —People who have endured relational trauma oftentimes have a childhood marked by emotional misattunement (others not correctly reading and responding to their emotional needs), emotional neglect, emotional or physical abuse, and confusing relationships with others. Typically, those with relational trauma have parents who might have been less warm, more emotionally enmeshed or punitive, or simply too consumed with their own issues or trauma to correctly “attune” to the needs of the child. Sometimes, this trauma results from some major personal or family trauma (e.g., divorce, death, major illness of a family member). So how does relational trauma affect us in adulthood? This can show up in many ways, some of which include: * Difficulty regulating emotions (e.g., feeling constantly overwhelmed by anxiety and fear) * Chronic shame and guilt * Constantly “beating” oneself up or putting oneself down * Difficulty depending on others (e.g., emotionally) * Discomfort with emotional intimacy and problems maintaining healthy relationships * Feeling “empty” on the inside and struggling with identity issues * Worrying about interpersonal abandonment, rejection, criticism, etc. * Excessive need for approval, being overly submissive or suggestible I would like to offer hope — the mental health field has begun to increasingly appreciate the effect of childhood on adulthood. Therapy can help to heal the pain that these experiences have caused, and help you free yourself from repetitive patterns rooted in these experiences (e.g., repeatedly choosing “unhealthy” relationships) I graduated with my PhD in clinical psychology from the APA-accredited clinical psychology program at the University of North Texas, and completed the APA-accredited clinical psychology internship program at the Institute of Living (IOL) in Hartford, Connecticut. At the IOL, part of my primary clinical responsibilities included co-facilitating daily inpatient and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) psychotherapy groups, in addition to completing psychological testing and providing individual psychotherapy services. My time at the IOL offered me unique and intensive training in psychodynamic theory and technique, which still strongly influences my clinical work to this day. After completing internship, I completed postdoctoral training in the psychiatry department at the University of Minnesota, where I received specialized training in the assessment and treatment of psychosis, personality issues, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and severe depression. Prior to my internship, my clinical training in the Yale School of Medicine and at the Yale New Haven Hospital Intensive Outpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy Program provided me with extensive psychotherapy training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. While at the Yale School of Medicine, I also received unique training in mindfulness-based interventions, which also strongly influences my approach to treatment. The point in sharing all of this is that I have lived in many places, been exposed to many different types of training and experiences, and have a deep passion for learning and helping people. I believe that my training and skills within the realms of individual therapy, group therapy, and psychological testing helps me understand and connect with clients at a deep and profound level.

You've perfected the art of seeming like you have it all together, but on the inside it feels like things are falling apart. You're dealing with a lot of stress, your worry keeps you up at night, and you have difficulties saying nice things to yourself. You have big dreams and life goals, but somehow you can't quite keep up with day-to-day demands. Outside influences and pressures are bringing you down, you find yourself procrastinating on important tasks, and avoidance has become your go-to coping mechanism. Your anxiety is getting in the way of your happiness and you're tired of feeling stressed, anxious or burned out. There’s not a one-size-fits-all approach to healing. The models I pull from are dependent upon your unique needs and healing process. My clients appreciate my warm and inviting, yet direct approach. I am an active participant in your therapy and I will not tip-toe around your challenges. Your time is valuable and I want you to get the most out of therapy. You deserve to take care of yourself with the unconditional support of someone who is trained to help you navigate through these difficult times. When you’re ready, I invite you to connect with me. I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so you can get a feel for whether I'm a good fit for you. I'd love to hear from you!

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or tired of carrying emotional burdens on your own, you're not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone. Life can bring seasons of struggle, but healing is possible. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, addiction, or simply seeking clarity and direction, I see you. You deserve a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My approach to therapy is rooted in faith, empathy, and trust. I believe in walking alongside you with compassion while also helping you stay accountable to your goals. Using evidence-based modalities, I support individuals navigating both Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and build the tools you need. With consistent support and honest feedback, clients often find new clarity, emotional resilience, and renewed purpose. I believe you can be healed and grow into your full potential. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’m here to help.
