Rachel Herr, MA, LPCC
Licensed Clinical Supervisor & Psychotherapist
Co-Owner & Clinic Director
​
I believe in a holistic approach to health and healing. Through an integration of several theories and ideologies, I work with individuals, couples and any constellation of family members, specializing in relational therapy.
The person we are today has much to do with the relationships we've experienced throughout the course of our lives. Each person has a unique story to tell and that story is a critical component of who we are and guides who we become. My goal is to create a safe space with the right conditions for change where each client or relationship is able to increase awareness and find a lasting impact.
There can be many underlying causes of mental, emotional, and psychological symptoms. Through the relationships built, my goal is to help you increase life satisfaction and overall wellness.

Dr. Caileigh Peters
Clinical Psychologist / Neuropsychologist​​​
Co-Owner & Clinic Director
I understand life can happen to us, without warning, and without consent. While the ability to choose has been stripped from those experiences, I firmly believe we have a choice in how we respond to them. As such, I offer individual psychotherapy and believe the key to effective therapy is the relationship built between client and therapist. It’s not easy to ask for help, and in recognizing that, I strive to offer a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental environment to foster healing. I work collaboratively to cultivate an atmosphere of curiosity and further deepen client’s understanding of the experiences that have guided their lives; some of which continue to cause distress and contribute to life feeling intolerable at times. I work with a breadth of issues, including co-occurring addiction and mental health issues, and I make every effort to tailor evidence-based treatments to fit the individual needs of each client. I incorporate all aspects of a person’s being - emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and cultural - using an integrated approach to therapy that draws from relational, psychodynamic, emotion-focused, and person-centered theories.
Additionally, I provide comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessment services specializing in adult and geriatric populations with a particular interest in neurodegenerative disorders. Having served in the field of psychology for over a decade, I have a long history of providing individual psychotherapy in a highly relational fashion, which is integrated into my approach for assessment. The mutual end goal for assessment is most often to provide as much clarity and insight into an individual’s strengths, behaviors, condition, etc. emphasizing tailored treatment recommendations to assist people on how to best move forward with next steps.​
​
I began my career as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor working in both outpatient and residential chemical dependency treatment centers nearly 15 years ago. I completed my Doctorate in Psychology (PsyD) at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2021 and further specialized in Neuropsychology through a 2-year fellowship, of which I completed in 2023. I have experience with neuropsychological, psychological, and therapeutic assessments as well as therapeutic services in a Veterans Affair health care system, outpatient and inpatient co-occurring treatment facilities, group private practice, and a college counseling center.​

Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a space to process, heal, and grow. I provide individual, couples, and group therapy, specializing in relationship dynamics, including polyamorous partnerships, as well as personal growth and emotional well-being. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also have extensive experience utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and continue to implement and expand my knowledge in this area.
I’m passionate about helping couples navigate relationship challenges, fostering open communication, trust, and emotional intimacy. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where each partner feels heard, working together to strengthen bonds and build resilient, fulfilling relationships. I have over a decade of experience in community mental health.
I believe in creating a safe, collaborative space where your voice is truly heard. Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, personal struggles, or life transitions, I’m here to support you in finding clarity, strength, and fulfillment. I’d love to hear your story and walk alongside you on your journey. Let’s connect.

​​
Shame is a skilled liar, and it can falsely convince us that we're better off facing our struggles alone. But it’s everyone’s first time being a human, and no one has it all figured out!
​
I am passionate about working with folks whose voices are all too often silenced: justice-involved, adjusting to life after incarceration, navigating addictive or compulsive behavior patterns, feeling disconnected from their authentic selves, seeking personal meaning in life, or recovering after religious, domestic, or sexual abuse, harm, or trauma. You deserve to be affirmed and supported on the courageous path of healing and self-discovery.
​
Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in compassion, empathy, and curiosity. I offer an inclusive environment in which clients experience me as warm, authentic, and humorous when appropriate. My approach is person-centered with elements of narrative, feminist, existential, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral therapies.
​
Finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming and vulnerable process. You are the expert on yourself and your needs, and you deserve a therapist who honors that expertise. I invite you to reach out and schedule a 15-minute consultation to explore how we can work together to make the changes you desire. I look forward to hearing from you!

Keyana Young
The courage to seek a therapist is huge, and I honor that by creating a space you feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe that with the right support, everyone can overcome challenges. I approach counseling with intention, adapting to what you need at the moment. I can be warm
and direct, and I believe in the power of humor when it’s appropriate. My goal is to help you work toward living your best life, at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore your inner world, gaining a deeper understanding of the different parts of yourself and helping you better recognize
and understand your emotions.
My approach is person-centered and being journey oriented, meaning I believe in meeting you where you are and supporting you every step of the way. I am particularly interested in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.
I have a strong background working with individuals and families, and I’m passionate about helping people show up as their authentic selves.
*Keyana is currently pursuing her master’s degree at Saint Mary’s University in Minneapolis and is working under the licensed supervision of Rachel Herr, MA, LPCC.
Jenny English
Above all I believe in the power of connection and community. In a culture that pushes us towards self-sufficiency and independence, we can forget there is nothing wrong with needing or seeking help. I believe it is a sign of strength and resilience to take that step.
My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, seen, and accepted with whatever you are facing in life. Though I am currently focused on training in psychological assessment, it is my priority to create a warm, comfortable, and affirming space where you feel safe to be yourself. I feel passionately about social justice issues, and do my best to ground my training and work in values that align with antiracism, humility, and curiosity. Together we will build a better understanding of who you are and develop strategies to improve your functioning and overall well-being.

I believe that therapy offers an opportunity to discover and nurture the unique conditions that you need to grow. Feeling seen and heard without judgement is important, and taking time to courageously explore your inner world can be a powerful step towards building a richer life. In
therapy, I hope to help you connect with your instincts, strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, discover what makes your life feel meaningful, and solidify your sense of self-acceptance and belonging in the world.
Drawing primarily from psychodynamic and humanistic theories, I believe that an attuned and caring therapeutic relationship is foundational to the work of therapy. Together, we can explore
how your past may be shaping your current experience of life and take time to sort out the perspectives that feel congruent with who you are today. I also appreciate the potency of the present moment and will help you explore reactions, emotions, and relational patterns as they
arise in real time. I believe that growth can unfold naturally when we take time to understand who we are, engage our whole selves, and more fully inhabit the present moment.
Values that I bring to my work include curiosity, empathy, creativity, and an open mind. Having studied literature as an undergrad, I enjoy working with stories, metaphors, dreams, and patterns. Making the choice to confront painful topics can be quite challenging at times, and more than
anything I strive to create a space where you can feel accepted along the way.

Dr. Abby Hoxsey
​
I believe healing and change occurs in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship, and I prioritize cultivating a space where clients feel seen, heard, and included. I am passionate about envisioning and co-creating a psychotherapy accessible to all individuals and communities, particularly those who have historically been excluded from mental health theories and practices (e.g., LGBTQIA+; BIPOC communities).
With specialization in adult and adolescent anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, relational and couples’ concerns, grief, and addiction, I strive to help clients meet their goals while reconnecting to their strengths, values, and innate resilience. My therapeutic orientation is first and foremost humanistic, collaborative, and client-centered: while I have training and expertise in therapeutic interventions and theories, my clients are the experts on their lives and experiences. I intentionally integrate relational, psychodynamic theories and third-wave cognitive approaches—facilitating, for example, a mindful awareness of thoughts, emotions, and sensations in the here-and-now while remaining curious about how past relational and formative experiences contribute to present day functioning.
In the realm of psychological and neuropsychological assessments, I work with adults and adolescents to provide thorough and compassionate evaluation for a range of conditions--including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, learning issues, neurodegenerative disorders, and others. Like my approach to psychotherapy, my assessment approach is collaborative, supportive, and person-centered, focusing on presenting complex information in an accessible way and empowering clients towards personal growth, self understanding, and improved functioning.
I received my PhD in Counseling Psychology from Purdue University in 2024. I have received training and supervision in acute inpatient settings, private practice, addiction treatment, community mental health, university counseling, and a state hospital system. I have been and continue to be involved in research on equity and inclusivity in education and psychology, and have also taught courses at the university level.
