North Shore Mental Health Services invites fellow therapists to gather in a supportive, collegial space to process the impacts of recent political events in Minnesota, particularly those related to immigration, civil rights, and systemic harm. These events may be affecting you personally, your family, your clients, and your role within the helping profession.

This gathering is intended to be supportive, affirming, and grounded in shared values of anti-racism, anti-fascism, and opposition to violence. We hope to foster connection, reflection, and mutual support amongst peers.

Please RSVP Jess@northshoremhs.com / Katie@northshoremhs.com

When:
Tuesdays | 6:15 pm – 7:15 pm
Tuesday, February 3rd - Tuesday, March 31.

Where:
North Shore Mental Health Services
324 W Superior St, Suite 911 Duluth, MN 55802

Who:
Therapists who desire a space to process and engage in community with other therapists.
*This is not group therapy, but a welcoming space for therapists to gather and support one another.

We will also be compiling a list for those who would like an online offering. Please email Jess@northshoremns.com / Katie@northshoremhs.com

With care,

Angie Adams MA LPCC

Hey there, I am Savannah! Welcome to North Shore Mental Health Services! I am glad you are here! Life can be a roller coaster. At times we stick our arms in the air enjoying the ride, and other times, we close our eyes and get scared. This shows how difficult and scary our journey through life can be. As a therapist and as a human being, I want you to feel welcomed, safe, and heard. Everyone has their own unique story. Our stories are what makes us who we are. You are truly the expert of your own life, and I will walk alongside you, listen with empathy, and meet you where you are at. You do not have to face it alone. Let’s ride this roller coaster together!

I value the importance of creating a non-judgemental, open space where everyone can share their vulnerabilities, struggles, resiliency, and stories. I will come forward with kindness, support, and care. This will be a collaborative experience together, with you, and your family. We can only change if we are ready to change. Change is truly a scary thing. I want to help normalize these scary feelings together.

I am passionate about working with those who are dealing with transitions and changes in their lives whether that means with individuals, families, couples, children, adolescents, or adults. These transitions may look like grief and loss, transitioning to college, or others. Humans are meant to be connected to their inner-being and those around them. Diane Gehart said, “Being connected to other people – listening and being heard – allows us to remember who we were, who we are, and who we are becoming.” In this therapeutic space, we will work together to empower who you are becoming.
I graduated from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and am currently working towards licensure under supervision. When I am not practicing therapy, I love to hike, go horseback riding, and explore new things with my husband. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story

I am pleased to introduce you to Erin Durkee, LAMFT. Erin is a somatic therapist who joined NSMHS this summer and we're so excited to have her as part of the team. Welcome, Erin!

Read more about Erin's work here:

"People encounter many different issues in their lives, from car accidents and bike crashes to complex early childhood trauma experiences, chronic pain, every day anxiety and worries. I work with individuals, couples and families to improve their quality of life across complex issues of identity, trauma, early life experiences, family issues, stress reactions and challenges in regulation and nervous system imbalances. My person centered approach is about meeting folks where they are at and exploring together the patterns they wish to change, develop resilience and repatterning responses. I focus on empowering people to make choices that work for them in their lives using Somatic Therapy modalities like Sensorimotor Processing, movement and mindfulness as well as Psychodynamic, Ecological, Humanistic and Family Systems approaches.

"I finished a graduate degree in Somatic Psychotherapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies and am currently licensed as an LAMFT in the state of Minnesota and working towards full independent licensure as an LMFT. With 10 years of experience on the West Coast as a cyclist, trail runner and myofascial bodyworker, I am passionate about the intersection of movement and functional patterns in the body with psychology and trauma recovery.

"In my free time, I can probably be found running around in the woods with my dog, Bear."

It’s hard to know what to say in times like these. We do know it’s okay to be angry, sad, scared or tender. We stand with a person’s right to choose and we’re along for this fight.
