Know Thyself Healing & Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LPCC, LGSW
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, family changes, or emotional struggles that leave them feeling stuck or unsure of themselves. If you’ve been carrying these challenges on your own, you’re not alone.
As both a therapist and the founder of Know Thyself Healing & Therapy, I believe healing happens in safe, honest, and supportive relationships. My own journey—through adoption, trauma, parenting a child with mental health challenges, divorce, remarriage, and spiritual growth—deeply informs the way I show up for clients with compassion, understanding, and respect.
While I work directly with many clients, I also lead a team of dedicated clinicians who share this same commitment. Together, we create a space where you can feel truly seen, build insight, and develop the skills needed to move forward. Whether you work with me or another member of our team, our goal is the same: to help you reconnect with your strengths and create meaningful, lasting change.

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. 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.

Daniel Johnson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPCC, NCC
I have over 10 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate mental health; and have been in private practice for 5 years as Gossamer Psychotherapy, LLC. I want to help you access the fulfilling life you desire and aim to address your specific issues. Together we will find value, meaning, and purpose in your life; and collaborate toward building a strong inner ally aligned with your best interest.
It is no mystery that we experience anxiety, depression, worry, feel stuck, struggle with relationships, and are burdened by life. As such, mental wellness does not have to be a mystery either. Maybe you struggle with decision making and doing what is best for you. Perhaps you find it hard to know what you want in life, and just keep living life like there are no problems which perpetuates your unease and sense of distress. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by negative emotions, and that hinders your ability to be honest with yourself and the people in your life or appropriately express your needs.
Email me, and I will help you change your life in a way that restores peace within you, honors your sovereignty, and helps you contribute your best to society. After all, empowered, balanced individuals are the foundation of strong families and communities- and I want to help you access the fulfilling life you desire.

Katherine Jones
Counselor/Therapist, ND, MA, LPC
As a Millennial or Gen Z woman, you may be grappling with questions about your identity and the meaning of life. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or navigating through major life changes such as graduating from college, starting a new job, or embarking on a new relationship. You may have also received a recent ADHD diagnosis, and it turns out that all those years of suffering from irritability, poor concentration, low self-esteem, and indecision weren't just depression. Whether anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, depression, or all of the above are getting in the way of you feeling healthy, empowered, and resilient, therapy can help you live a more balanced life.

Peter Hoistad
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, LADC
I have experience working with a very diverse set of individuals over the course of my career in the mental health field. Most individuals I work with struggle with issues that are considered dual diagnosis, or individuals that struggle with both mental health and substance use issues. I have experience working with all different ages, ethnicities, sexual orientation, mental health issues, and substance use preferences. I also come from a lens of years of lived experiences and being able to offer a lens of "coming out the other side." I provide an empathetic atmosphere that is goal orientated, and comes from an unbiased lens.
