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.

The goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel free to process emotions, be vulnerable and show up authentically. Through empowerment, self-awareness, and accountability, we strive to help clients release unhelpful behaviors, patterns, thought processes, and relationships that will no longer serve the healed and evolved version of themselves.

Mackson Psychology
Psychologist, Samantha Mackson, Psy.D.
I became a psychologist because I genuinely enjoy helping people navigate the challenges that life inevitably brings. Starting therapy can be a meaningful first step toward creating positive change in your life, and I feel fortunate to be able to be a part of that journey. My approachable and down-to-earth style helps create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself from the very beginning. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the stressors that often come with being a teen, college student, graduate student, young professional, or new mother. Above all, I am committed to creating a warm, trusting, and open environment where you can feel understood, supported, and free to be yourself. I truly love what I do and feel lucky to have a career that allows me to connect with people and support them through different stages of their lives. I look forward to getting to know you and being a part of your therapy journey.

Emem Itiat
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
I believe in the power of healing through promoting self-awareness, autonomy and empowerment, and also in people's strength to move towards change. Though suffering is a part of life, something that all humans share, working to manifest helpful and sustainable coping mechanisms, and skills that will work to serve you long term makes a difference in the quality of life a person experiences. I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and humanist framework, observing individuals as a whole, and when it comes to the war against body discrimination and terrorism, I believe in working to enhance radical acceptance through promoting self-contentment, end weight discrimination by identifying the underlying and overlying systems of oppression, dismantling those systems, and working against the cultural obsession with diet culture, and the pursuit of thinness and perfection. I believe in concepts such as radical self-love, self-trust, self-awareness, radical-acceptance, freedom, agency, self-compassion, and self-actualization to help guide individuals to fulfill their potential and maximize their wellbeing.

If you’re reading this, then you have taken a huge first step in asking for help.
