Welcome! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to supporting adults as they navigate grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and the many transitions—big or small—that shape their lives.
Hello, I’m Shelia Ransom Jenkins, MSW, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach to therapy, creating a safe space where individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered.
I hold a Master of Social Work and a Master of Science in Criminal Justice, and my professional background includes work in community mental health, educational settings, and clinical leadership roles. I have experience helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship and family conflict, behavioral concerns, life transitions, and stress related to work, school, and personal growth. I also have specialized training in perinatal mental health, supporting individuals experiencing postpartum depression and related mood disorders.
My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based interventions, tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, practical, and rooted in trust.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult transition, or seeking deeper self-understanding, my goal is to support you with empathy, clarity, and encouragement as you work toward healing and lasting change.
You might look like you’re holding it all together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in painful relationship patterns you can’t seem to break. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma that still affects your daily life, panic attacks that come out of nowhere, or relationships that leave you feeling unseen or disconnected. Therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale. A place where you don’t have to explain away your feelings or carry everything alone. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel safer, more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself again.
Welcome - I am so happy you're here. I graduated with my Masters degree in Clinical Social Work from The College of St. Scholastica in 2019 and have been working in the mental health field for 7 years. Whether you're navigating stress, relationships, or personal growth, my goal is to ensure you feel seen and empowered. My role is to walk alongside you as you discover new perspectives, strengths, and possibilities.
Hello there, my name is Josie! I enjoy being a therapist because I have experienced the benefits of therapy myself, I enjoy working with people, and I believe life is worth living, but sometimes we need an extra person in our corner to help us navigate the ups and downs of this life.
For the past eighteen years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals, children, and families across both clinical and K–12 educational settings. My professional journey has included roles as a Professional School Counselor, 504 Coordinator/Learning Specialist, and Clinical Therapist, giving me a unique understanding of how emotional, cognitive, and learning needs intersect.
Over time, my view of mental health has expanded. I’ve always been interested in nutrition, movement, sleep, and lifestyle as contributors to emotional wellness. But everything shifted when I began integrating mindfulness, contemplative practices, and a deeper exploration of hormone health—both personally and professionally. Understanding how hormones influence mood, stress, and cognition opened an entirely new dimension of care.
I now approach therapy through a whole-person lens that honors the connection between mind, body, hormones, and environment.
Hello, I’m Therese. I work with adults who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted by patterns that no longer feel manageable.
I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, chronic illness, and concerns related to eating disorders or disordered eating patterns.
I also have lots of experience helping people to live tobacco and/or nicotine free!
My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental.
I strive to create a calm, safe space where you can speak openly and feel understood.
If you are looking for someone who listens deeply, values connection, and takes a thoughtful, whole-person approach, I would be honored to support you.
Sometimes it feels like you're carrying more than anyone else realizes. Anxiety, depression, painful experiences, parenting responsibilities, cultural expectations, or major life changes can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted and unsure of how to move forward. You may be taking care of everyone else while struggling to care for yourself. You don't have to keep doing it alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress management, panic disorder, cultural and ethnic issues, and trauma so they can build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create a greater sense of balance and confidence in their everyday lives. Working with adolescents, adults, and families, I strive to create a compassionate, culturally responsive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to grow. Over the past ten years, I’ve had the joy of working with wonderful, diverse communities—from LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC individuals to those navigating mental illness, homelessness, and co-occurring challenges. As a child of immigrants myself, I truly understand the cultural barriers around mental health. I’m here to help break down those walls and create a warm, safe space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported.
I am accepting new clients. Please message me to set up a consultation phone call so we can discuss fit and scheduling.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist and ADHD specialist, I help individuals and couples improve their relationships and manage challenges related to communication, ADHD, parenting, and daily stress. Relationships play a big role in our well-being—they can bring closeness and joy, but also tension and disconnection. In therapy, I’ll help you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck, let go of what isn’t working, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections. I also support individuals in handling the demands of work, parenting, and relationships with more balance and confidence.

I have owned a private successful practice since 2010 that was initiated to help people thrive through life's challenges. I was drawn to this field by a deep interest in human behavior transformative impact of helping others thrive and navigate through challenges that created lasting positive change.
I specialize in a variety of treatment approaches serving men and women. Let me support you in navigating difficult transitions tailoring your treatment to meet your needs.
Hello! I've been in the mental health field for nine years, working with eating disorders, personality disorders, trauma, and addiction issues. I am a Queer identifying therapist and am polyamorous, and work well with folks looking to explore themselves more. I love using humor, warmth, and a direct approach in my work with people. I have been formally trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Anchored Relational Therapy for C-PTSD, and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. The thing I care most about is building a comfortable and trusting therapeutic relationship with whomever I work with.
My goal is to help you optimize your mental health and quality of life through a personalized evidence informed approach to care.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Duluth starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare Duluth therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. A bio can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Duluth is a smaller city, so local appointment options may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Minnesota. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Duluth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review availability, compare bios, and book directly when you are ready.
