Lauren Jensen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Welcome, I hope we can meet and work together to help you feel empowered, learn new ways to cope, and find fulfillment in your own story. I get how hard it can be to feel stuck with the struggles in life that never seem to go away or improve, and I believe change is possible. I specialize in supporting people surrounding difficult life transitions and grief/loss and help clients reduce anxiety, depression, and stress so that they can take steps to live life more aligned with their values. Examples include supporting clients with baby loss or miscarriage, anticipatory grief, health concerns, relationship changes such as divorce, and secondary trauma. My offering is solutions-focused and strengths-based and includes mindfulness as well as practical skills for self-care and self-compassion. I believe you have the wisdom within you and that you are strong and brave no matter how difficult things seem to you at this point in time. Let's work together - please feel free to reach out to me and we can talk.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I help people to have compassion for themselves and understand patterns of thinking and behavior that hold them back from change.

Ruth Weinberg
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I have nearly 20 years of experience working with clients of all ages on a range of issues including relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem, shame, disordered eating and stress related to toxic work and family environments. Many of my clients are survivors of physical, sexual and/or narcissistic abuse. These painful experiences require courage and compassion to heal from.
Every person has the ability to grow, heal, and thrive. Life's challenges can lead us to lose hope or to believe that we are broken or damaged, but this is untrue! Our true nature and potential may seem absent or hidden but it is there and it cannot be destroyed. By uncovering and rediscovering our strengths and abilities, we can overcome challenges, find meaning and purpose, and live more fulfilling lives. Through the self-discovery process we can learn to find understanding and compassion for even the most feared and hated parts of ourselves.
My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Heidi Lindeman Self Grounded Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, M.Div., M.A., LPC
You're a spiritual human looking to end the loneliness that has been growing since the pandemic began. In your loneliness there's no one there to help you with the intense feelings you experience. You often worry about the future. You question if you will ever be able to have a happy life. You have been doing everything "right" and yet you feel lost, lonely and sad. When your feelings are intense all you want is a friend to listen to you, validate you, tell you it's all gonna be okay. When you've shared your authentic feelings in the past it's a crap shoot if someone will be able to hear you. You've often felt like you are too much and you shouldn't feel so many things or there's something wrong with you for having so many feelings. You're aware that logically feelings are important and you're not wrong for having them. But the feeling that you are bad and not worthy are hard to shake. The feelings you've had all your life have intensified with COVID and there's less support now. You feel alone in everything going on. You have a deep desire to authentically belong but just aren't sure how you can maintain relationships if you are your true self. In therapy we work together to gain a deep understanding of your emotions and where they came from. Then we notice what's yours and what's someone else's. Through deeply understanding yourself you begin to feel cared for, supported, loved and feel deeper that you do matter. Together we work to help you feel confident and grounded in yourself so you can more easily navigate relationships. I'm going to let you in on a little secret, when you turn inward and care for the lonely part of yourself you will find your external relationship become better (and if they don't you have more clarity on what you can or will not accept in a relationship and can set purposeful and clear boundaries without necessarily having to cut whole people out of your life). Together we can help you create an authentic life of belonging. Take your first step on your journey now by going to my website and clicking the "schedule a free 20 min consultation" button to have a chat with me. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
