About Us

about usSentier Psychotherapy is a therapist-owned and run psychotherapy clinic in St. Paul, Minnesota committed to strengthening individuals, families, and communities. We provide individual, group, and family counseling for children, teens, and adults. We also offer educational opportunities like workshops, trainings, game nights, and community events. 

A core value at Sentier is inclusivity and respect for individual and collective cultural experiences. We proudly specialize in serving the LGBTQIA+ community and welcome clients of all genders, sexualities, races and ethnicities, abilities, and spiritual beliefs and practices. Family can be formed by biology, intentionality, and/or a legal agreement, and all family structures are embraced at Sentier. We believe:

  • All human beings have an innate need to belong in community.
  • Relationships are significant contributors to identity formation.
  • Nurturing an individual’s biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual wellness can heal families, communities, and ultimately, society.

In an era of increasing corporate ownership in healthcare, Sentier remains proudly local, independent, and therapist-led since 2009. Every aspect of our practice is shaped by clinicians who understand the realities of providing mental health care. We believe that healthy, supported therapists provide better therapy. By fostering a supportive, sustainable environment for our team, we create the conditions for deeper client relationships, stronger clinical care, and a healthier community overall. 

What is ‘Sentier’?

Sentier (sen-tee-r) is a French noun meaning pathwaya trail, route, or passage that helps guide you toward where you want to go. We think of therapy as a journey along a pathway. In therapy you invite a trained helper to join you on your path to deeper understanding, personal or relational growth, resolution, and healing.

At Sentier, we view therapy as a journey along a pathway. While each person’s path is unique, no one has to walk it alone. Therapy offers the opportunity to invite a trained, compassionate guide to join you as you navigate life’s challenges, deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationships, and move toward growth, healing, and meaningful change.

Whether you are seeking support through a difficult season, working to strengthen relationships, or pursuing personal growth, therapy can help illuminate the path ahead and support you in taking the next step forward.
