Adolescence is filled with rapid changes, emotional growth, and new pressures.

Children often communicate their thoughts and feelings through play, creativity, and behavior. Our therapy for kids in Lake Elmo uses developmentally appropriate techniques—such as play therapy—to help children express emotions, build coping skills, and process difficult experiences. Parents are included as important partners in the therapeutic process so families can strengthen understanding and create supportive environments for growth.
Family relationships can become strained when communication breaks down or life circumstances shift. Family therapy offers a structured space where each member can be heard while working together toward stronger connection and understanding. Our therapists guide families in exploring patterns, resolving conflicts, and developing healthier ways of interacting that support long-term harmony and trust.
Experiencing trauma can affect both emotional and physical well-being long after an event has passed. Our trauma therapy services provide a compassionate and structured path toward healing. Using evidence-based approaches such as somatic techniques and trauma-focused therapies, we help clients process difficult memories, reduce distress, and reconnect with a sense of safety and stability in their daily lives.
Group counseling brings people together in a supportive environment where shared experiences can lead to insight and growth. Guided by experienced therapists, our groups help participants develop coping skills, practice communication, and receive encouragement from others who understand similar challenges. Group therapy can be a powerful way to build connection while learning new strategies for navigating life’s difficulties.
Individual therapy provides a dedicated space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with the support of a trained therapist. Many people seek individual counseling when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for meaningful change. Through collaborative sessions, we help clients increase self-awareness, work through past experiences, and build tools that support lasting emotional well-being.

Levi Weinhagen is such a thoughtful and down to earth therapist. He connects with young adults like few people I’ve met, and makes it easy for them to feel safe. He brings his background in theatre and comedy into his work, which adds a unique, creative perspective to what can be heavy work. As a parent and a teacher, I heartily recommend him to adolescents and adults alike!
