Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
Adolescents and adults navigating their faith and sexuality (LGBTQ+ affirming), anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, grief, trauma, pregnancy/postpartum, family of origin concerns, identity development, and general life stressors and transitions would particular enjoy working with me. Multicultural couples and families navigating culture clashes, estrangement, faith transitions, and sexual and intergenerational trauma, especially for BIPOC populations, are treatment specialties. Psychedelic psychotherapy preparation and integration are also available with referrals to clinics and others who can provide medication administration. Psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses such as autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, etc., Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), worker’s compensation, preemployment for first responders, and fitness-for-duty-evaluations are also offered. Approaching patients with cultural humility is a core value at Malak Psychology honoring who you are, your ancestors, and the indigenous land we occupy.
Grounded in decolonizing mental health, liberation, and feminist psychologies, my practice employs multimodal approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic experiencing, emotionally focused couples therapy, Gottman, family systems, psychoanalysis, and more.
Empowering you to forge your unique path, I serve as a guide with an emphasis on agency and self-determination. Collaborative wellness plans allow participants to decide the depth of exploration into subjects. I ensure evidence-based, collaborative, and individualized care by incorporating peer-reviewed research and indigenous knowledge systems.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You may be the person everyone depends on. The one who performs, leads, manages, and keeps going no matter what. From the outside, you look capable and composed. But inside, you feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unable to sleep. What used to feel manageable now feels impossible. You are tired of white-knuckling your way through a life that looks successful on paper, but feels unsustainable in reality.
I’m Dr. Gayle MacBride, a licensed psychologist with more than 20 years of clinical experience. I work with high-achieving adults navigating burnout, insomnia, relationship strain, trauma, and relentless internal pressure. Many of my clients have already tried pushing through on their own. They are not looking for generic advice or passive therapy. They want experienced, evidence-based care that is practical, strategic, and built for meaningful change.
My approach is direct, compassionate, and active. We identify what is driving the distress, define clear goals, and use a structured plan to help you move forward. Depending on your needs, I draw from CBT for anxiety and depression, CBT-I for insomnia, Prolonged Exposure and CPT for trauma, and Gottman-informed skills for relationship concerns. For couples who feel unsure whether to stay together, separate, or recommit, I also offer Discernment Counseling. This is therapy designed to help you sleep better, think more clearly, feel more grounded, and function in a way that is effective and sustainable.
I offer telehealth for clients in 40+ states, and in-person visits for people in the Southern Metro of Minneapolis. If you are ready to stop performing wellness and start making real changes, I’m here to help.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I offer secure, confidential online therapy for individuals, couples, and families, making it easier to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Virtual sessions allow for flexibility while maintaining the same level of care, thoughtfulness, and engagement as in-person work.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for those with busy schedules, travel constraints, or who simply feel more at ease meeting from home. I work to ensure that sessions remain focused, connected, and meaningful, even in a virtual setting.
For clients seeking family-building evaluations or time-sensitive services, online appointments also allow for quicker scheduling and efficient completion of the process without compromising quality.

Ema Thoen
Psychologist, Student Intern, LPCC candidate
Having an affinity for the unconventional, I value the unique strengths and differences that shape who we are. As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent human and someone who developed an invisible physical disability later in life, I understand the challenges of navigating a world not designed with differences in mind. My background as a maker and creator—rooted in multidisciplinary fine arts, teaching, and supporting non-profit communities—informs how I foster a safe, creative, and inspiring space for therapy. I aim to build a genuine, collaborative partnership where you feel understood, empowered, and curious to explore new ways of being.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
People want fullness of love in life (in work, relationship and purpose), but get stymied by anger, anxiety, or existential dilemmas. Sometimes talking about it isn't enough to transform it. To make significant change, after we name emotions and explore their sensations, we can build a new somatic relationship. By compassionately attending to old habits, then invoking new awareness of how to thrive, we liberate ourselves from past patterns and welcome new joys. If you like contemplative exploration of the roots of your issues, guidance to find your inner ah-ha!, and support for your own wisdom to lead you forward, give me a call. I believe the energy we call Divine (or Source, Consciousness, Godde, All) is within you and around you, ready to speak. You have the answers within you, I'm here to help you find them- and implement them.

Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, where I work with adults in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy both in-person and online when appropriate. My work is grounded in the belief that emotional difficulties often have meanings that are not immediately apparent, and that lasting change develops through careful attention to one’s inner experience over time. Therapy provides a space to slow down, speak freely, and develop a fuller understanding of the inner forces shaping one’s experience. I also work with couples who wish to better understand recurring relational patterns and difficulties in communication or intimacy.
