Austine Roney
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Depression can look like feeling disconnected, discouraged, exhausted, or like your life no longer feels the way you hoped it would. I work with people who may look like they are functioning on the outside, yet internally, feel stuck, numb, or way down. Together, we explore the deeper experiences, contributing to these feelings, and help you reconnect with yourself, your goals, and a greater sense of possibility.

Peter C. Jackson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Experiencing depression can lead to feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and a profound loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. My practice offers a gentle and empathetic space to explore these challenging emotions at your own pace. We will work together to uncover the subtle dynamics contributing to your experience, helping you to find moments of connection and renewed hope. The aim is to build inner resources, nurture self-compassion, and guide you toward a path where you can gradually rediscover your capacity for joy, engagement, and a fulfilling life.

Navigating the Path Out of Depression
We believe that depression is not a personal failure, but a complex clinical condition that requires a comprehensive approach. We combine deep empathy with modern tools to help you find your footing again.
Our Clinical Approach
We use a variety of "gold-standard" therapies to address the biological, emotional, and cognitive layers of depression:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To identify and shift the "automatic negative thoughts" that fuel a depressed mood.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): To help you move toward your values even when motivation is low.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): To understand the "parts" of you that may be using withdrawal or numbness as a way to cope with deep pain.
Brainspotting & EMDR: To process underlying trauma that may be manifesting as chronic depression.
For Youth (Ages 10+): We use specialized interactive software to help younger clients express feelings of "heaviness" or "emptiness" through engaging, visual mediums.
Your Collaborative Treatment Journey
We believe you are the expert on your own experience. Our process ensures you are an active partner in your recovery:
Full Clinical Assessment: We meet with you to determine your current needs—looking at sleep, energy, mood, and any life factors contributing to how you feel.
Setting Treatment Goals: Together, we define what "thriving" looks like for you. It might be returning to a hobby, improving work performance, or simply feeling a sense of hope again.
A Shared Plan: We discuss and agree upon a treatment plan that fits your pace. We regularly check in to see how you are progressing toward your goals.
Accessibility & Ease of Care
We know that when you are struggling with depression, navigating healthcare can feel overwhelming. We’ve streamlined our process to support you:
Support Staff: Our team is available to help you find the right therapist match so you don't have to do the research alone.
Free Consultations: Meet with a therapist first to ensure you feel a sense of comfort and "fit."
Flexible Access: We offer online therapy, online booking, and are available 7 days a week to fit your energy levels and schedule.
Fully Covered: We accept all Minnesota insurance groups, ensuring that cost isn't a barrier to your healing.
