Ema Thoen
Psychologist, Student Intern, LPCC candidate
Hi! I’m Ema (pronounced like Emma) (she/they) - and I'm so glad you’re here.
Have you ever felt like you don’t quite belong in life? Do feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious, ungrounded, or unmotivated sometimes take over? These are all normal human emotions, and I am dedicated to understanding the “why” behind them. I believe those uncomfortable feelings and moments are here to communicate important messages to us.
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. I approach this work with compassion and an integrative mindset, celebrating your individuality while supporting resilience in the face of life’s challenges. I have a heartfelt interest in working with late-diagnosed neurodivergent individuals, as well as those experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, and life transitions.
With a deep commitment to disability advocacy, accessibility, inclusion, and safety, these values guide the foundations of my practice. For transparency, I am accompanied by my mobility assistance service dog during in-person sessions, as part of my own accessibility needs.
I am currently under the supervision of Taylor Ryan (Baez), working towards my LPCC licensure. I would love to meet you for a 15-minute consultation!

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.
