Mental Health & Personal Wellness
Welcome! We are so happy that you are here. We wanted to take a moment to introduce Journey Through, and explain a little more about who we are and how we help support our local communities.
When I first started to explore the idea of opening a practice in Central and Northern Minnesota communities, the first area that came to mind was the North Shore. I have so many personal memories about being up there, and I’m sure you all can relate to the “Up North” feel. Lake life, hiking, exploring, local coffee shops, maple syrup runs, kayaking, cross country skiing, boating – you name it! You will probably see a lot of nods, so to speak, to Northern Minnesota, throughout our website and in our office spaces. I wanted to create a warm, welcoming, and also familiar space, and I know for many people – myself included – nature offers a quiet reprieve that we so often crave.
Journey Through came from the idea that we all have to walk through something to get to the other side. I know when we are in a place of suffering or struggling, we are just wanting relief, so all we do is envision the “other side” – the healing place, the peaceful place, the joyful place, the place without pain. However, we have to go through in order to get there. Therapy can be hard, painful, frustrating at times, but it’s through the journey that we find our peace and our healing.
Growing up in rural Minnesota myself, I know how challenging it can be to find services, especially medical and mental health services. Most of these communities are made up of members who are spread out across wide distances, and often have to drive twenty, thirty, forty-five minutes, sometimes an hour, to get to their appointments. I wanted to bring an agency close to home, so that people don’t have to sacrifice their work time, travel time, or family time, to have support.
We will be offering a variety of mental health counseling and therapy services, which will include:
- Individual Therapy
- Family Therapy
- Support Groups
- Skills Groups
We so look forward to getting to know you, working with you, and being present in your communities!
