Heidi Skattebo

Prioritizing your mental health is an important step toward greater happiness and stability. I work with adults 18 and older and bring 25 years of experience in the mental health field, including 5 years as a licensed therapist. I’m warm, straightforward, and supportive, and I value creating a space where you feel respected, understood, and comfortable being yourself. I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and am licensed as an LPCC in Minnesota and an LPC in Wisconsin.

I take a direct, precise, and client-centered approach to therapy. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, grounding, and mindfulness to help clients manage symptoms, change unhelpful patterns, and gain distance from painful thoughts. My work is grounded in empathy, honesty, autonomy, unconditional positive regard, and a belief that meaningful change looks different for everyone.

Our first session is an opportunity for you to share your story, discuss what brings you to therapy, and identify what you hope to accomplish. I’ll work with you to understand your needs and develop goals that feel meaningful and realistic. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and secure environment where you can feel comfortable being vulnerable. Together, we’ll identify practical steps to help you move toward the changes you want to make.
