She brings an integrative, nervous system-informed approach to therapy, supporting clients in understanding their patterns, building regulation, and creating meaningful, lasting change.

Approach

Jess integrates a range of evidence-based and experiential approaches, including EMDR, CBT, Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), and relational work. Her approach is grounded in understanding the nervous system and recognizing the connection between mind, body, relationships, and lived experience.

Tamara "Tami" Minchow, MSW, LICSW

Tami is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a relational, compassionate, and strengths-based approach to therapy. She is deeply grounded in the belief that feeling seen, understood, and supported can be a powerful catalyst for change.

Her path to becoming a therapist was shaped by meaningful relationships in her own life—moments where she experienced genuine compassion, nonjudgmental support, and connection. Those experiences continue to guide the way she shows up for her clients.

Tami supports individuals navigating substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, codependency, and life transitions. She is passionate about creating a space where you can show up as you are, while reconnecting with your own insight, resilience, and capacity for growth.

Approach

Tami’s approach is relational, collaborative, and strengths-based. She believes you are the expert of your own experiences and works alongside you to explore patterns, build insight, and support meaningful change.

She tailors therapy to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and ACT to support skill-building and awareness. She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing (MI) to explore ambivalence and strengthen internal motivation, and uses the CRAFT approach when working with individuals and families impacted by substance use.

At the core of her work is a focus on self-compassion—helping you learn to relate to yourself with more understanding and less criticism, creating space for deeper healing and resilience.

These aspects keep her grounded and remind her of the importance of connection, flexibility, and humor.

Suzanne "Suzie" Bertholic-Liljenberg, MS, LMHCA

Suzie is a compassionate and direct therapist who offers a holistic, empowering approach to care. She understands that life can feel overwhelming, especially when the balance between work, family, and personal well-being feels out of reach. She is passionate about helping clients recognize patterns that are no longer serving them while building the tools needed for meaningful, lasting change.

She creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore fear, frustration, and pain while developing a deeper understanding of themselves. Through self-awareness, practical coping skills, and intentional self-care, she supports clients in moving forward with greater confidence, balance, and resilience.

Suzie works with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, emotional regulation challenges, and life transitions. She is especially passionate about helping clients overcome both internal and external barriers so they can build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Approach

Suzie believes healing happens through caring for the whole person. She values the connection between mind and body and encourages clients to explore how emotional, physical, and lifestyle factors all contribute to overall wellness. She often incorporates mindfulness practices, movement, and nutrition education alongside evidence-based therapy to support healing and resilience.

Her approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and directness. She believes meaningful change begins when clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported while also being challenged to grow in ways that align with their values.

She integrates evidence-based and holistic approaches, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, MBCT, MI, EMDR strengths-based therapy, and trauma-informed care. Every treatment plan is tailored to each client's unique experiences, goals, and strengths.
