Nick Sotor
Psychologist, PsyD
Sculpting meaning from our lives can be challenging especially during difficult times. I am a licensed clinical Psychologist who provides evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and am a Linehan Board Certified clinician with an expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have an expertise treating a wide range of mental disorders with a specific focus on problems of emotional dysregulation including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and personality disorders.
I strive to understand individuals within the larger context of their lives rather than focusing on simplistic diagnoses or labels. This stance allows me to practice psychotherapy in a genuine, relational, and compassionate way while at the same time while remaining firmly rooted in theory and providing treatments that have been shown to work.
My style is direct, thoughtful, and often irreverent. I value a strong therapeutic relationship and aim to be honest and open in treatment to encourage direct communication and help co-create a therapeutic space that feels validating, safe, and helpful.

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.

Colby Schepps
Psychologist, Psy.D.
There is no better time than this current moment to lean in and learn more about what is standing between you and where you want to be. It may be a past trauma, recent lack of motivation, relationship conflict, work stress, or more than likely, its some combination of things that are keeping you stuck. You probably have the knowledge and skills to know what you could do, and need some help figuring out how to actually do it. Therapy is an experience where you can get clear on what you want and how you want to live, and start taking meaningful and measurable steps in that direction with someone you trust walking alongside you. I would love to be a part of that process with you.
I work to help you learn about what you are already doing well, because you absolutely are already doing many things well, and use those skills and strengths to improve in other areas. Using your values as a roadmap, we will identify goals and practice skills to move in your chosen direction. Learning in a nonjudgmental, compassionate, light-hearted environment will allow you to utilize the knowledge and skills independently and across many domains of life.
I have been providing therapy for more than a decade, spending most of my early career treating Veterans and Active Duty Service Members in a VA setting. Now, I work with adults of all backgrounds and identities to clarify their values, live more consistently with those values, and live the lives they really want to live. Client-therapist match is so important to effective therapeutic work, so I encourage you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation call so that you can feel sure about taking this next step. I hope that you do and I look forward to meeting you.

Glenn Sample
Psychologist, Psy.D., MSCP
Success of therapeutic change begins with the relationship between you and your therapist. I believe effective change grows from a foundation of trust, respect, and the understanding of a desire for self-improvement. I work collaboratively to identify areas of concern while providing support throughout the counseling process. You have unique experiences that shape who you are, and how you respond to situations. I believe progress can be made by gaining an understanding of how these experiences influence responses in the present.
Using CBT and DBT modalities, I assist with recognizing what works well, and what areas have opportunity for improvement. Positive change can begin by recognizing behaviors that are no longer serving you well, what maintains those behaviors, and appropriately challenging them when ready.
This knowledge can help one move forward with new skills and improved effectiveness. I provide a comfortable, non-judgmental, and caring environment, and currently working with adults, couples, and LGBTQ populations.

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.
