Sara Pavel
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what’s going on without feeling like you have to have everything figured out first. I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and connected to your real life—not just a place to talk about problems.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your own thoughts, struggling with confidence, or navigating a major transition, we’ll work together to understand what’s getting in the way and find ways forward. I’ll meet you where you are while also challenging you when it can help you grow. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out. If something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to, therapy can be a place to start making a change.

Natasha Lacey
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC-S
You may be functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you cannot seem to change. I provide a warm, trauma-informed space where children, adolescents, and adults can better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and build meaningful, lasting change. My approach is compassionate and individualized, integrating EMDR, CBT, DBT, Person-Centered Therapy, and parts-based work based on your needs and goals.

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.

Jenna Labbe-Watson
Psychologist, Psy. D.
Together we get underneath the thoughts and the words so you can process what needs healing. I help you connect with your body, your emotions, and your intuition so you can metabolize and integrate your experiences and feel more free, more alive. Sometimes in your therapy we move slow and sometimes we move fast. Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry. The trust and safety we develop in the therapeutic relationship help you go wherever you need to go so you can feel more whole.

Christopher Cannon
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
If you’ve done years of talk therapy and still find yourself stuck in the same patterns, part of the story may be held in your body. As a licensed counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I work directly with the nervous system, helping you notice what’s happening physically in the moment and giving old survival responses room to settle and finish.
I came to this work through my own developmental trauma, addiction, and depression. That history helps me meet people struggling with alcohol, drugs, or pornography without judgment, whether you’re aiming for abstinence or harm reduction. I hold a Colorado Certified Addiction Specialist credential and have been in practice since 2014.
I also work with complex PTSD, adoptee struggles, and couples, drawing on PACT and attachment-based approaches. More than twenty years of meditation and a master’s in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University inform everything I do, so spiritual questions are welcome. Expect warmth, curiosity, and some dry humor.
Online therapy is available to Colorado residents. Clients outside Colorado can work with me through somatic coaching by video. Private pay, superbills available, free consultation.
