Therapists in Baxter, Minnesota MN
Daniel Johnson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPCC, NCC
Therapist helping individuals LIVE MORE CONSCIOUSLY by serving the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota; specializes in treating Anxiety, Depression, life transitions, mood and personality disorders.
It is no mystery that we experience anxiety, depression, worry, feel stuck, struggle with relationships, and are burdened by life. Maybe you struggle with decision making and doing what is best for you. Perhaps you find it hard to know what you want in life, and just keep living life like there are no problems which perpetuates your unease and sense of distress. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by negative emotions, and that hinders your ability to be honest with yourself and the people in your life or appropriately express your needs.
I aim to help individuals address their specific issues, find value, meaning, and purpose in their lives; and collaborate toward building a strong inner ally aligned with the individual's best interests. Deep down, individuals know best how to rejuvenate life for themselves and I want to help you reconnect with yourself so that you may act in harmony with your own best interest.
Life presents us with opportunities for reflection at all levels: be it self/individual, familial, or cultural. Each of us can change our lives in a way that honors our sovereignty and contributes to society. Empowered, balanced individuals are the foundation of strong families and communities- and I want to help you access the fulfilling life you desire.

Dr. Paige Hover
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are anxious and/or burnt out and are looking to go beyond fixing a problem or feeling better, I may be the psychologist for you. Think of me as a mental health personal trainer. I can provide some initial relief but also help you get a deeper understanding of yourself. I use a mix of mindfulness based coping skills and provide a form of cognitive behavioral therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Along with some other approaches, we can work together to help you sustain long-term mental health improvement. I specialize in working with people who identify as perfectionists, high-achievers and people pleasers. I don't accept insurance but superbills can provided for potential OON reimbursement upon request.

Since entering the field five years ago, I have worked with clients around general mental health concerns and healthy sexuality, especially the impacts this can have on a person's mental health. Our goals will be to discover healthy and appropriate coping skills to managing mental health concerns. In doing so, you will have a better understanding of yourself and the concerns that bought you to see me.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I love helping my clients address issues with sleep, anxiety, mood, and past traumatic experiences. For me, helping others as a psychologist is a true passion. When appropriate, I use evidence-based therapy, which has clinical research supporting its effectiveness. I routinely offer couples and grief counseling. I've been told by my clients that I clearly take my job seriously and prepare well for sessions, always eager to bring them the relief that they're seeking in a thoughtful and targeted way. I don't stretch treatment out any longer than needed. As far as my unique characteristics as a therapist, I believe that humor plays an important role in treatment, and that therapists who are willing to be self-disclosing and genuine develop stronger, more meaningful connections with their clients. I see therapy as a very personal process -- far more so than other types of health visits -- and that forming a real relationship is a key component of mental health treatment. I find that one definite benefit of such a relationship is that I'm able to offer my clients truthful, direct feedback, as they always know that any challenging remarks are coming from a caring and compassionate place. Along these lines, I belief that it's a therapist's job to routinely encourage their clients to push beyond their comfort zones and make bold changes.
