Our next "meet the therapist" is Lindsey!

One of the best ways to find the right therapist is to get a sense of who they are as a person. We thought we'd help you get to know the amazing clinicians behind Align North a little better!
Meet Lindsey!
🧠 Favorite coping skill:
Deep breathing paired with a body scan and targeted muscle relaxation. I am also a fan of vagus nerve reset exercises to help calm the nervous system and bring the body back into balance.

🍜 Favorite comfort food:
Probably Kao-poon from my favorite Thai place. It’s a curry noodle soup. It’s been a go to for celebratory dinners, times of hardship or grief, a comfort during a respiratory cold and everything in between.

☕ Coffee order:
A breve cappuccino.

🎲 Favorite game:
I play a lot of various games at home with my family, my kids seem to be on an Azul kick right now that I’ve been enjoying so I’ll go with that.

💙 What inspired her to become a therapist?
I spent a lot of time in therapy as a child through various childhood challenges (divorce, grief/loss). In high school I grew a deep reverence for the therapy field. It can be life-changing to have an educated support person to process your life, develop coping skills, ask direct questions, and provide education on the brain and human behavior.

🌲 Favorite way to spend a free weekend:
Doing fun activities with my family, probably outdoors for most of it.

🌱 What she hopes clients remember after meeting with her:
I hope that you will leave feeling heard, accepted, and valued.

At Align North, we believe healing begins with connection, and Lindsey strives to create a space where clients can feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood.

If you're looking for a therapist who combines warmth, compassion, and practical tools to help you navigate life's challenges, Lindsey may be a great fit for you.

June is Men's Health Month.

Men's health is about more than annual checkups and physical fitness. It's also about mental health, connection, and knowing that asking for help is a sign of strength—not weakness.

Too many men struggle in silence, believing they have to carry every burden on their own. The reality is that support, community, and honest conversations can make all the difference.

This month, we encourage every man to:
💙 Schedule that appointment you've been putting off
💙 Check in with your mental health
💙 Reach out to a friend, family member, or support system
💙 Remember that you don't have to do it alone

At Beacon Clubhouse, we believe everyone deserves a place where they belong, are valued, and can find support when they need it.

One of the most important parts of therapy is finding someone you feel comfortable talking to. We thought we'd help you get to know the people behind Align North a little better! The second in the "meet the therapist" posts is our clinician Laura.

Meet Laura!

🧠 Favorite coping skill:
STOP—a skill that helps us pause before reacting impulsively. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is slow down, take a breath, and choose our next step intentionally.

🍦 Favorite comfort food:
Ice cream. (No further explanation needed.)

☕ Coffee order:
An iced shaken espresso—any flavor.

🎲 Favorite game:
Anything but Monopoly. 😆

💙 What inspired you to become a therapist?
My own life experiences showed me how powerful it can be to have someone listen, care and guide and also how complex and challenging life can be. I continued my education to support people with both heart and knowledge so they could heal and grow with confidence. And, honestly it worked out well-growing up I was always told I talked too much, so it feels like I found a career where that turns out to be a pretty useful skill.

🌲 Favorite way to spend a free weekend:
First off, sleeping in, obviously. Then good coffee followed by either paddleboarding or hiking. Then wrap up the night with either some reading or embroidery depending on my mood and attention span. I'd love to throw in a sauna or hot tub somewhere during the day... but let's not turn my relaxing day into a full agenda.

And doing ANY of these things with my partner, kids or dogs is a bonus!

🌱 What she hopes clients remember after meeting with her:
"Probably that I talk about the brain ALOT but also, I would hope they feel lighter and more hopeful than when they walked in. "

If you're looking for a therapist who combines warmth, humor, practical skills, and a deep understanding of how the brain works, Laura may be a great fit for you.

Finding the right therapist isn't just about credentials—it's about finding someone you can connect with. We thought we'd help you get to know the people behind Align North a little better so we had each of our therapists give you a little inside scoop into some of their favorites! Here are Zach's answers:

Meet Zach!

🧠 Favorite coping skill:
Reframing and understanding. When something upsets me, I like to step back and ask, "Why might this person be doing this?" or "Why is this situation affecting me so strongly?" Understanding doesn't always make the feeling disappear, but it often helps lower the intensity and create space to respond differently.

🍔 Favorite comfort food:
A burger fresh off the grill with all the fixings and a side of french fries.

☕ Coffee order:
An Americano or something simple with espresso.

🎮 Favorite game:
Path of Exile

🏍️ Favorite way to spend a free weekend:
Hanging out with my dogs, playing video games, and riding my motorcycle.

💙 What inspired him to become a therapist?
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in a residential treatment center with youth who often had serious legal charges. What I discovered was that many of these kids weren't "bad kids" at all—they were often respectful, intelligent, and capable, but lacked the support and guidance they needed. Watching many of them make incredible progress in treatment only to return months later facing the same challenges inspired me to become part of the solution and help break those cycles.

🌱 What do you hope clients will take away from meeting with you? :
"I approach therapy with a down-to-earth style, using simple language and relatable techniques. Therapy doesn't have to feel complicated to be effective."

If you're looking for a therapist who is genuine, approachable, and focused on making therapy feel practical and relatable, Zach may be a great fit for you.

Did you know Align North offers telehealth across the entire state of Minnesota?

Mental health care should fit into your life, not add more stress to it.

At Align North, we offer secure telehealth therapy services for individuals, couples, teens, and families anywhere in Minnesota. And what's even better? We have providers with IMMEDIATE openings. Whether you live in the Twin Cities, on the Iron Range, or in a rural community, support can come to you.

Research continues to show that telehealth is especially effective for mental and behavioral health care. In Minnesota, about 60% of mental and behavioral health services were delivered through telehealth during the first half of 2021, providing a great option for people struggling with their mental health but not able to meet in person due to the pandemic.

For many people in Greater Minnesota, telehealth helps bridge the gap created by provider shortages and long travel distances.

You deserve support that is accessible, compassionate, and built around real life.

You can schedule right now with one of our providers by clicking this link: https://alignnorth.clientsecure.me/
