In-Person Counseling for Our Twin Cities
Saint Paul & Minneapolis, Minnesota

Counseling gives you time to express your deepest thoughts and feelings and to receive compassion, respect, and understanding, so you can find your own path forward.

My counseling approach centers on in-person counseling for clients seeking deep, reflective conversations and integrative therapies in a comfortable, safe place.

I am currently taking new clients for in-person sessions at the Center for Counseling and Wellness. If you would like to schedule an appointment, the quickest and best way to reach me is by my email address beth@centerforcounselingandwellness.com or if you don’t use email, you can call the main office at 651.294.2307 and they will pass along your message to me.

Counseling is a collaborative process. Together, we can explore what shapes your life, from moments of joy and hope to grief, uncertainty, and emotional pain. When you feel ready, I welcome you to bring your whole self to counseling, including your experiences, identity, culture, beliefs, quirks, strengths, humor, fears, interests, wishes, struggles, creativity, and feelings. During our sessions, we can make room for understanding, healing, and growth at a pace that feels right for you.

The areas above are some of the focus areas of my practice. If your concerns are different, we can talk about them during a free 15-minute consultation, and if needed, I can refer you to other professionals.

Since every person's story is unique, some conversations may focus on challenges and symptoms, while others may explore strengths, relationships, hopes, or questions that have been waiting for time and attention.

Finding the right counselor is an important and personal decision. If you can imagine yourself here, I invite you to connect, and I will listen.

Fees and Payment

I believe that counseling should be as accessible as possible. Because of this, I accept private pay, and now that I am working at the Center for Counseling and Wellness, I can also accept many insurance plans. I can also provide a reimbursement receipt that you can submit to your Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), or out-of-network insurance plan. Many people appreciate the simplicity, flexibility, and privacy of private-pay counseling, which lets us focus on the counseling relationship without the requirements that sometimes accompany insurance reimbursement. A sliding fee scale is sometimes available for those experiencing financial hardship.

If you prefer to use insurance, I am able to accept several in-network insurance plans, including Aetna, Health Partners, Blue Cross Blue Shield of MN, Anthem, Cigna, Hennepin Health, and some non-commercial Medica and United HealthCare plans. I can also accept MN Medical Assistance (Medicaid) as well as straight Medical Assistance. At this time, I am unable to accept Medicare, Beacon, Commercial Medica, Optum, Commercial United HealthCare insurance plans, or Employee Assistance Plans (EAPs). I recommend contacting your insurance company to confirm your coverage for therapy services. All services are billed under Jennie Yngsdahl, MA, LP, who is my direct clinical supervisor. Please contact me to discuss the best option for you.
