Sheri Galens
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ma, LPC
I aid my clients in tapping into their inner wisdom to help heal their wounds both past and present. My approach is interactive, empathetic, compassionate and accepting. I work hard to get my clients the relief they are looking for, so I provide immediate feedback and coping skills to keep them motivated in between sessions. My scope of practice includes using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Solution Focused modalities with an emphasis on “healing” in order to help my clients achieve their best selves.

Allay Wellness Center
Psychologist, MS, LLP
At Allay Wellness Center, we specialize in helping children, teens, and adults overcome anxiety and OCD so they can move toward a fuller, more meaningful life. Our practice focuses on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders.
We know how overwhelming anxiety and intrusive thoughts can feel—not just for the person experiencing them, but for the whole family. That’s why our approach is compassionate, structured, and tailored to each individual. We help clients understand how anxiety works in the brain, identify the patterns that keep it going, and gradually face fears in a safe and supportive way so confidence and resilience can grow.
Many people come to us after struggling for years without clear answers. Our clinicians have specialized training in OCD and anxiety treatment and are passionate about providing care that is both effective and approachable. We offer a focused treatment program designed to create meaningful progress while also collaborating with other therapists and providers when ongoing support is helpful.
Whether you are seeking help for yourself or your child, our goal is to provide a place where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to take steps toward lasting change.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe every human being has inherent value, yet so many of us carry deep shame from past experiences that tell us otherwise—messages like “I’m bad,” “I’m too much,” “I’m unlovable,” or “If I show myself, I’ll be rejected.” These beliefs can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. In therapy, I work to help uncover and soften these old burdens so they no longer hold you back. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll build a space where you can feel seen in your wholeness, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and move toward a life that feels freer and more grounded.

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.
