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.

Psychworks Clinic
Psychologist, PHD
At PsychWorks Clinic, our goal is to create a space that is grounded in compassion, cultural awareness, and honesty.
Therapy is a partnership. We work together to unpack the stories you’ve been told and the ones you tell yourself, to find the truth underneath and build something stronger in its place. Whether we're working with a child finding their voice, a couple rebuilding connection, or a man learning it’s okay to feel, growth doesn’t always look like comfort, but it always leads to freedom.
This work is deeply human. And every session, every conversation, is an opportunity to remind someone that they are not broken, they’re becoming.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
At Inner World Counseling Services PLLC, I specialize in helping the "fixers," "peacekeepers," and chronic over-functioners who seamlessly support everyone else while secretly drowning in anxiety, burnout, or unresolved trauma. If your outside world looks perfectly put together, but your inside world is exhausted by a relentless inner critic, a fawn response that can’t say "no," or a brain that won't turn off, you don't have to carry it alone. Utilizing specialized trauma therapies like EMDR and CPT, I partner with you to heal the root causes of your anxiety, break survival habits, and build authentic boundaries. I provide secure, convenient telehealth therapy across North Dakota and Minnesota, allowing you to prioritize your healing from the comfort of your own space. Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to see how we can untangle the patterns keeping you stuck and start moving you forward.

Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.
