GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I offer compassionate, trauma-informed online therapy for individuals seeking healing, clarity, and meaningful change. My practice is rooted in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based therapy, and I am certified in Compassionate Inquiry®, a trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that supports deep emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Clients often reach out when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or ready to move beyond survival patterns related to anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, grief, or trauma. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and grounded in safety, helping clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build lasting emotional resilience.

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.

Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
My approach to therapy is somatic, holistic, and relational. This means we don’t just talk about your challenges—we work with how they live in your body, your nervous system, and your patterns of relating to yourself, to the world, to the people around you.
I help people move through anxiety, depression, self esteem struggles, trauma, and other life challenges by helping them to reconnect with their internal sense of clarity and stability. Together, we create space for you to slow down, feel supported, and begin to respond to life with more choice and self-trust. Therapy with me is warm, engaged, and grounded in real change—not just insight.

Carolynn Hanzal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, burnout, or big life changes take hold. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to find strategies that work for you. I enjoy helping my clients find creative and exciting ways to knock down the barriers.
Outside of work, I love spending time with animals and attending concerts. I bring the same compassion, curiosity, and warmth into my sessions, helping you feel more confident, resilient, and connected to the life you want to live.

Rochester is a mid-sized Minnesota city whose entire character and economy are defined by the Mayo Clinic—one of the world's most famous and comprehensive medical institutions—and the mental health landscape here is unlike almost any other city of comparable size, shaped by the needs of a huge medical workforce, international patients and their families, and a community organized around the pursuit of medical excellence. Mayo Clinic's own behavioral health and psychiatry programs are among the most sophisticated in the world, and the city's medical culture creates both extraordinary resources and particular kinds of stress—caregiver burnout, compassion fatigue, the emotional weight of working with critically ill patients, and the psychological challenges of being far from home for patients receiving long-term care. A private therapy sector serves the permanent population and medical workforce, and demand for therapists who understand the specific stresses of high-performance medical careers is consistently high. Common therapy concerns include caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue, medical professional identity and well-being, patient and family adjustment during extended treatment, anxiety, and the particular loneliness of patients and families who have traveled from around the world to receive care far from their support networks.
