Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
I have over 34 years of experience working as a clinical psychologist. The bulk of my career was spent at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, where I provided comprehensive, evidence-based psychological assessment and intervention for a range of mental health difficulties, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, substance use, sleep, chronic pain, personality disorders, and psychosis. In addition to my clinical work, I served as the overall Director of Training for the APA-accredited doctoral internship and postdoctoral residency training programs. Throughout my tenure in this position, I have had the honor of providing clinical supervision and mentorship to over 300 psychology interns and postdoctoral residents.
Since retiring from my position at the VA, I have continued to…
- Maintain a private practice providing individual psychotherapy and psychological assessment
- Serve in several volunteer leadership roles involved in the national management and coordination of psychology training and education and the overall profession of psychology
- Serve on the Minnesota Board of Law Examiners
- Serve as an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota's Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program
- Teach graduate-level courses at local psychology doctoral programs
On a more personal note, I have a passion for travel and the thrill of discovering new culinary adventures and restaurants. Cooking, art, and photography are creative outlets that I cherish, along with a love for nature and outdoor activities. My commitment to health and an active lifestyle is evident in my lifelong engagement with endurance sports, including marathon running, cycling, ironman triathlons, and hiking. These activities not only challenge me physically but also provide a strong sense of accomplishment and joy.
My practice is anchored in the belief that my clients are more than just their symptoms or diagnoses. I collaborate closely with them to thoroughly understand their unique struggles and customize a treatment approach that utilizes proven methods to address their specific needs. My objective is to apply my years of knowledge and expertise to every individual I assist.
I have extensive experience working with adults from diverse ethnic, racial, gender, sexual, and religious backgrounds. Additionally, I have developed specialized skills to address the unique challenges faced by healthcare professionals.

Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
Do you appear to be managing life well on the outside, yet inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself? Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who understand their patterns yet still feel stuck in them. I offer a warm, compassionate space grounded in trauma-focused, mind-body approaches where we explore what’s happening in your mind, body, and nervous system so you can experience real change—not just insight, but a deeper sense of calm, clarity, and connection.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Clients often share that they experience me as approachable, compassionate, and down-to-earth - someone who creates safety while also being willing to step into the hard conversations. In our work together, you can expect a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental space where your story is respected, along with concrete strategies to support behavior change, strengthen relationships, and clarify your identity and values.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, I welcome you to reach out for a consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your path forward.
