Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
Hello, I'm Dr. Ruth Viehoff, and it's a pleasure to virtually meet you! My practice is geared towards gen Z and millennial clients who struggle with anxiety, worry, perfectionism, and ADHD. My clients are often college students, graduate students, or are early in their careers as high-powered professionals. I have experience working with physicians and other medical professionals, engineers, high-stress business professionals, and lawyers. Often my clients over-schedule, over-optimize, and feel like they are working so hard to keep things in order in their lives. To other people, it may appear that you have it all together, but they don't see your internal struggle, your sense of overwhelm, and your hope that you will finally get a grasp on things tomorrow. Often my clients rely on achievement and external forms of validation and praise to feel like they are doing enough. They struggle to internally approve of themselves and their efforts. In therapy, I help my clients to cultivate self-compassion, re-evaluate and replace unhealthy personal standards, and increase attention to their own internal wants, needs, and opinions. Therapy is an opportunity to cultivate your own internal sense of knowing and increase your sense of agency in your own life. Reach out to me today to book a free consultation call!

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
We will work together to help you make positive changes to your life—healthier, more stable, productive and fulfilling! With each of my clients, I work to build a relationship based in trust and authenticity where you can feel both safe and challenged—safe knowing you can talk openly and will be heard and understood, not judged, but also challenged to make the changes you want to make. Making those changes is more likely when you find a therapist who is empathetic—someone with whom you can connect and trust. Your full potential is always within reach and a therapeutic relationship based in sincere, empathetic, and authentic dialogue is healing. Call me today for a free, phone consultation and get started on a better and brighter present and future.

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.

Michael Montero
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
You may have spent years trying to make sense of who you are, yet still feel like something is missing. Maybe you've wondered where you fit, why it can feel difficult to connect with others, or whether there's room to fully be yourself.
Many of the clients I work with are reexamining long-held assumptions about themselves, exploring their relationship patterns, or navigating their evolving sense of their own identity, including culture, sexuality, or neurodivergence. Some have spent so long adapting to expectations that they find it difficult to recognize what feels most authentic to them. If any of this feels familiar, you don't have to keep searching for answers on your own.
Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or looking for something different, my goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are — without feeling like you need to over-explain or defend your experiences. Together, we'll better understand what has shaped you and find practical, sustainable ways to move forward with the life you want.
If this sounds like what you're looking for, I offer a Free 15-minute Video Consultation so we can talk about what's bringing you to therapy and see if working together feels like a good fit.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Finding a therapist shouldn’t feel overwhelming—or like a guessing game. At Nour Counseling, we take the time to actually listen before we match you, so you’re not left scrolling through profiles trying to figure it out on your own. We consider what you’re looking for, what you’ve experienced in past therapy (what worked and what didn’t), and the kind of connection you want to feel in the room. We’re also clear about our values—our clinicians are culturally responsive and affirming, and we hold space for clients navigating complex identities and sociopolitical realities without minimizing or dismissing them. Our goal is simple: to help you get connected to a therapist who not only has the right expertise, but who genuinely feels like a good fit.
