Center for Counseling & Wellness

We are a small group psychotherapy practice serving individuals, couples, and families with an integrative approach.

Jennie Yngsdahl, MA, Licensed Psychologist, and other professionals make up this small group practice. Conveniently located in the Grand Hill Professional Building at the foot of Ramsey Hill in St.Paul, Minnesota www.centerforcounselingandwellness.com ABOUT US: JENNIE YNGSDAHL, MA, LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST"I offer my clients a compassionate, creative, and collaborative approach in their healing work.

I use psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and integrative therapies encouraging my clients to find meaning in their life's journey and struggles as well as find new ways to care for the self. Although I am a generalist when it comes to working with a variety of diverse clients and issues, I also believe strongly in the mind/body connection and help my clients find ways to reconnect and find balance in their lives. This is especially helpful when dealing with grief, relationship issues, life transitions, or trauma.I do have a focus on treating people who have experienced trauma in their lives, either as a child or adult. This includes emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. In working with couples, I assist in identifying core patterns which are unhealthy or destructive. I teach healthier ways of relating, including learning how to communicate effectively.As a psychologist with over 15 years of experience, my main modality of treatment is through talk therapy. However, with clients who have an interest, I often use other expressive modalities. Some of those include the use of art, writing, mind/body awareness, mindfulness meditation, guided imagery, or music. Please see our website for more details...We offer convenient appointment times Monday - Saturday (daytime and evening openings).

Happy Winter Solstice.....

Blessing for the Longest Night
All throughout these months
as the shadows
have lengthened,
this blessing has been
gathering itself,
making ready,
preparing for
this night.
It has practiced
walking in the dark,
traveling with
its eyes closed,
feeling its way
by memory
by touch
by the pull of the moon
even as it wanes.
So believe me
when I tell you
this blessing will
reach you
even if you
have not light enough
to read it;
it will find you
even though you cannot
see it coming.
You will know
the moment of its
arriving
by your release
of the breath
you have held
so long;
a loosening
of the clenching
in your hands,
of the clutch
around your heart;
a thinning
of the darkness
that had drawn itself
around you.
This blessing
does not mean
to take the night away
but it knows
its hidden roads,
knows the resting spots
along the path,
knows what it means
to travel
in the company
of a friend.
So when
this blessing comes,
take its hand.
Get up.
Set out on the road
you cannot see.
This is the night
when you can trust
that any direction
you go,
you will be walking
toward the dawn.
—Jan Richardson
from The Cure for Sorrow
