We are excited to announce that Nathan has openings for in person at Vadnais Heights and telehealth. Please call or email us if you would like to schedule!

Education/Experience
Nathan obtained their Bachelor’s Degree from Bard College and their Masters in Social Work from Columbia University in the City of New York. During their practicum, Nathan worked in a wide variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, and residential treatment facilities. Previously, Nathan worked at Fraser, where they specialized in working with youth and young adults on the autism spectrum facing a myriad of challenges, such as depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, gender and life transitions, processing childhood trauma, and dealing with loss and grief.

Specialized Training
Nathan is in the process of attaining Level 1 training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a unique and non-stigmatizing model of practice that treats the psyche as comprised of “parts” that form the core of an individual and shape how they process experiences. By the end of 2025, Nathan will be finished with this training, and they are excited to implement it in sessions. While Internal Family Systems is especially useful for working with trauma, it is a versatile methodology that can help a person to tackle a myriad of challenges.

Areas of Clinical Interest
While Nathan enjoys working with individuals of any age, they are especially excited about working with adolescents and young adults. Nathan also enjoys working with boys and men to discuss the gender-specific issues that men and masc individuals face.
Nathan has expertise in working with clients on the autism spectrum and has experience working with those with Down’s Syndrome and chromosome disorders such as chromosome 19 disorder. Nathan has had several clients with cerebral palsy and would love to assist more individuals with physical disabilities in getting their needs met and their voices heard.
Nathan loves working with clients in the LGBTQIA+ spectrum as well as members of the poly and kink communities.
They understand that what is relevant to clinical work might not simply be what happened last week, but what happened months or even years ago. As such, trauma work has become a core focus of Nathan’s practice.
Across the populations they work with, Nathan believes that the body and the mind comprise a holistic self and may bring somatic techniques into sessions.

Practice Areas
Nathan works with adolescents, adults, individuals, couples, and families.
Personal Statement
Past coworkers have described me as “unapologetically myself.” I will always approach our work together from a strengths-based perspective— the belief that emphasizing what we are good at can help us grow.
My goal is to be your partner and ally every step of the way as you move towards self-actualization and self-compassion. I approach client interactions from a framework of cultural humility, the belief that being open to learning about what I may not understand is just as important as my expertise.
I believe in using humor when appropriate and pride myself on my ability to ask perceptive questions, approaching issues from an analytical framework. If you are an artist, I would love to see or hear your work so that I can understand how to better relate to and work with you. I believe that art is an expression of the soul and enjoy writing and making music in my free time.

Victoria has openings in person at Maple Grove for Med Management Services! If you are interested please call or email to schedule!

Education

Victoria has a Master’s degree in Counselor Education and Community Counseling from the University of Dayton, a Master’s degree in Nursing from Capital University, and a Post-master’s certificate in psychiatric mental health from the University of Cincinnati. She was licensed as an LPCC in Ohio and worked primarily in community mental health and corrections. She transitioned to nursing and worked as a psychiatric nurse at Twin Valley Behavioral Health with both acute and forensic patients prior to moving to Minnesota in 2017. She continued her work as a psychiatric nurse in the outpatient psychiatry clinic at the University of Minnesota residency clinic. She is board-certified as an Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist and as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

Specialized Training

She completed Anchored Relational (formerly AIR network) training which is a modality focused on helping people with complex trauma.

Areas of Clinical Interest

Victoria has primarily been working in emergency psychiatry, seeing children, adolescents, adults, and older adults who present to the Emergency Department in crisis. Crisis intervention is somewhat of a specialty, and she finds fulfillment in being able to hold space for those who may be experiencing one of the worst days of their lives.

Personal Statement

I have always believed that we are all doing the best we can, given the circumstances we find ourselves in and the resources we have. Life can be difficult, and there are times when we may not know the way forward and feel stuck or overwhelmed. I want to be a partner in trying to figure out what the next steps are. I believe in the importance of breaking down goals into manageable steps. There are times when we just need to focus on putting one foot in front of the other, as long as we know what direction we are headed.

With having spent a couple of decades working as a therapist, I must confess that I have a bias towards therapy as the primary intervention for most mental and emotional disorders. There is certainly a place for medications though, and I believe that there are situations when optimal mental health can best be achieved through a combination of therapy and medications. I also believe that working towards wellness is not a linear path – there will be times when we will be okay or even better than okay, followed by periods when our lives are not working so well, followed again by periods of wellness. It is important to keep in mind that healing looks more like a spiral, and we need to be able to hold on to the belief that our darkest days are not going to last forever. We will eventually see the light. And as my wise therapist told me in my own moments of despair, you are the light at the end of the tunnel. It would be an honor to be a part of your journey.

Harmony Mental Health has formally changed clinic name from Parker Collins Family Mental Health. Soo Moon, LMFT is now the sole owner of Harmony. This year has brought many changes within our clinic and community. What remains true is our core value of providing high quality care to those with complex trauma histories in culturally responsive manner. Most of our Clinicians are certified in Anchored Relational Model Therapy (formerly AIR Network). Many of our clinicians are trained in EMDR, ART, art therapy, and/or Brainspotting. Trauma informed DBT program is offered in person at Maple Grove and virtually.

The name Harmony evokes different feelings and meanings for each of us. We hope this name will represent healing and connection in our community. More personally for Soo, Harmony is phonetic pronunciation of 할머니(“halmeoni“) which means Grandmother in Korean. Connecting to our roots, acknowledging sacrifices of our ancestors, healing from intergenerational trauma, and honoring the stories that came before us is important. Our mission is to continue to provide support to those in need, with humility and care.

From of our amazing Therapist, Alison Yang, MA LMFT:

If you have any trans friends who have not already updated their gender identity on federal documents, right now would be a good time.

As of this moment, the Social Security Administration and State Department do not require a court order, medical documentation, nor letters of support from a physician to update your s*x identification on your social security card or passport (name changes as always require a court order, but that can be changed later if it hasn't already been changed).

To update their Social Security Card, they can follow the guide here, fill out the form (SS-5 version 10-2021), and take it to an SSA office or mail it in (if mailing, the requested ID documents must be original and CANNOT be photocopies) - https://www.ssa.gov/people/lgbtqi/gender-identity.html

To update a passport that they already have, they can fill out form DS-11 and provide the documents mentioned on this page. There's a link present to find their local Passport office/State Department office. https://www.glad.org/transgender-id-project-updating-your-passport/ -11

One small point of note for nonbinary friends - while you can have a s*x designation of "X" on a passport, a social security card can only be marked M or F. The SSA was exploring ways to add a non-binary "X" designation to Social Security cards, but nothing has been changed.

At the very least, that option exists for passports (for now) so your passport marker can match your gender marker on a state-issued ID if your state allows for a nonbinary designation.

I hope that this can be a useful resource

How do I change the s*x identification on my Social Security record? To change the s*x identification on your Social Security record, you do not need to provide medical or legal evidence of your s*x designation. You will need to provide evidence to prove your identity, and sometimes citizenship or i...
