Serving Minnetonka and throughout Minnesota In person and Online
Welcome to a space where you can feel heard, understood, and uplifted.
Real therapy for deep feelers and overthinkers who carry invisible pain. It’s time for you to worry less and live more.
Untangle what’s underneath the inner critic. Transform your life.
Done pretending you’re okay? Good. Let’s do something real.
You’ve spent a lifetime keeping your internal world hidden, invisible…
Holding it together for everyone else, even when you feel like you’re barely hanging on. Maybe becoming pregnant, giving birth, or stepping into life as a parent has only amplified that pressure—to be “okay,” to be grateful, to keep moving even when you feel overwhelmed or unlike yourself.
You smile when you want to shut down. You stay quiet to keep the peace. You overthink every decision, every message, every interaction, now with the added weight of caring for a baby or preparing for one. You carry more than anyone sees while your inner critic questions everything—your instincts, your emotions, your capacity, maybe even your worth as a parent or partner.
Not knowing how to make it better or where to start.
You’re functioning, but barely. On paper, things might look okay, but inside, it’s a different story. You sometimes feel like you are on the verge of going into a full blown panic attack at work or when sitting around with family and friends, desperately wanting to run away and regain your composure. You remain quiet to keep the peace or afraid of upsetting others. You feel trapped by your inner critic, emotionally drained, and disconnected from the version of life you hoped you’d be living by now.
If that seems familiar, you might also be feeling:
Life doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did.
-
You’re functioning, sure. But inside? You’re unraveling. You show up, smile, do the work, but it’s costing you. You're over it, and you're starting to want more than “just getting by.”
-
Focusing on worst-case scenarios keeps you stuck in fear, worry, and anxiety, making it hard to move forward with decisions in your life and living meaningfully.
-
Hurtful experiences from the past haunt you in the present, and you feel stuck in a cycle without relief. You swore you’d never repeat the same dynamics, but here you are—same emotional loops, same people-pleasing, same second-guessing. You're ready to break the cycle, not just cope with it.
-
You feel guilty when trying to assert your needs, afraid of letting others down or being seen as “mean,” which leaves you feeling emotionally drained and unfulfilled. You say yes when you mean no. You feel guilty for needing space. You’ve been taught to keep the peace, but it’s eating away at you. You’re craving freedom—and it starts with telling the truth.
-
You’re exhausted—but wired. Lack of restful sleep leaves you feeling tired and drained, unable to wake up refreshed and energized.
Sleep’s a mess. Rest feels impossible. Your mind races the minute you slow down. You're burned out, emotionally overloaded, and running on fumes. You know something has to change.
Life doesn’t have to stay this way, but it takes real work.
Whatever brought you here, seeking emotional relief from your own challenges, problems with your relationships, or healing from past hurtful experiences…
You’ve come to the right place. Not surface-level tools. Not fake positivity. Real, honest therapy that helps you get to the root.
You deserve to feel at your best, and I’m going to help you get there.
Hi, I’m Jen Doeden, LMFT
I believe in a no-BS style, getting to the root, and helping you live like your life actually belongs to you. Find real relief and honest hope.
Therapy with me is compassionate with a deep respect for your lived experience.
This work is real. It’s not always pretty. But it’s worth it.
I create a space where you can show up as you are: guarded, all over the place, unsure. Together we’ll meet all of it with honesty and curiosity. I’m here to help you unpack what’s actually going on beneath the anxiety, worry, stress, emotional burnout, and stuckness so you can make real, lasting changes.
I believe therapy should feel human. This is a space for real talk, deep work, and coming home to yourself, no performance required. And all at your own pace.
HOW THERAPY WORKS
Life is stressful enough right now. Let me make this part as easy as possible.
1. Book Your First Session
If you’re ready to do the work, reach out and I’ll let you know what set appointment times are currently available.
In your first session, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what’s been weighing on you, and where you want to feel some relief. You don’t have to explain everything perfectly, just show up as you are.

2. Show Up. Get Real. Go Deep.
We meet weekly for 1:1 in person or virtual sessions focused on you, your patterns, your pain, and your potential. We’ll unpack the stuff you’ve been carrying too long: anxiety, people-pleasing, self-doubt, emotional burnout, sleep issues, all of it.
No scripts. No pretending. Just honest, compassionate work that goes beyond surface-level fixes.
3. Meet the You Who’s Been Waiting Beneath the Noise
This isn’t about becoming someone else, it’s about uncovering the version of you that’s been buried under anxiety, overthinking, and old patterns.
You’ll learn how to quiet the noise, trust yourself, and stop letting the past run the show.
More clarity. Better boundaries. Deeper rest. And a life that actually feels like yours.
