Are there things from the past that get in the way even though you've tried hard to "move forward?" Do you worry a lot or often find yourself on edge, waiting for the next bad thing to happen? Welcome! I'm Kirsten, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (ND) specialized in treating trauma and anxiety. I'd love to help! I have over 15 years of experience providing mental health assessment and counseling in settings including inpatient, partial hospital, multiple outpatient community nonprofit agencies, and private group practice. I'm excited to share that you can now find me at my office, In Practice Counseling. My clients often start therapy because of feeling guilty, overwhelmed or having past pain interrupt building new opportunities. After working together, clients often begin to feel more confident, empowered and present. I graduated from MSU Moorhead in 2009 with a MS degree in Community Counseling, completing a thesis on social justice advocacy among counselors. I first began specialized training/experience with PTSD and interpersonal violence in 2011, and have continued ever since. I feel passionate about people healing after interpersonal and systemic harm (such as physical or sexual abuse, neglect, domestic violence, oppression). At In Practice, I focus on helping adults with PTSD and complex trauma, anxiety, grief and life changes. My practice strives to be collaborative, gentle, affirming of all identities, and includes evidence-based interventions (such as CBT, EMDR, self-compassion, and mindfulness-based strategies). In-network with Sanford Health Plan and BCBS. Sliding scale and self-pay plans offered. Call or message with any questions! Why the name "In Practice Counseling?" Honoring the practice of being a human. The practice of being more present and less worried. The practice of re-building trust in ourselves. The practice of facing challenges with intention, and sometimes even laughter. It's a nod to how life often seems to go one way in theory... and a different way in practice.
