Telehealth Therapy in Minnesota & Wisconsin
Therapy does not have to happen while sitting across from someone in an office. Telehealth Therapy allows you to meet with a therapist from the comfort of your home and talk in a place that feels safe for you.
Therapy From a Place That Feels Comfortable
Sometimes getting to therapy is one more thing to manage.
You may be balancing work, family, medical appointments, fatigue, caregiving, or a body that does not always cooperate with your schedule. You may live outside the Twin Cities or simply feel more comfortable talking from your own space.
Telehealth gives you another way to receive support.
Instead of driving to an appointment, you connect with me through a secure video session. You can settle into a comfortable chair, grab a cup of coffee, wrap up in a blanket, have tissues nearby, or surround yourself with things that help you feel grounded.
For some people, being in their own environment makes it easier to talk openly and settle into therapy. For others, telehealth simply removes barriers and makes getting consistent support more realistic.

Telehealth therapy may be a good fit if you want the convenience of meeting from home, live outside the Twin Cities, have health or mobility concerns, travel frequently within Minnesota or Wisconsin, or simply prefer online therapy.
At WanderWell Therapy, I work with adults navigating medical trauma, cancer, chronic illness, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship stress, and major changes in identity.

Telehealth sessions take place through a secure video platform and are generally 50 minutes long.
You and I meet face-to-face on screen just as we would during another therapy session. We might talk about what has happened since we last met, work through something difficult, explore patterns you are noticing, practice ways to respond to anxiety or overwhelm, or simply make space for something you have been carrying.
You do not need a perfect home office. You only need a private place where you feel comfortable talking and a reliable internet connection.

WanderWell Therapy provides telehealth therapy throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.
You do not need to live in Maple Grove, Plymouth, or the Twin Cities to work with WanderWell Therapy through telehealth. You can join your appointment from anywhere in Minnesota or Wisconsin as long as you are physically located in one of those states during the session.
Telehealth can be especially helpful if you live farther from the Twin Cities and want a therapist with experience in medical trauma, cancer, chronic illness, grief, trauma, and major life changes.
-
Individual telehealth therapy sessions are $155 for 50 minutes.
WanderWell Therapy does not bill insurance directly. You may use an HSA or FSA card, and I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Coverage varies by insurance plan, so it is helpful to contact your insurance provider directly and ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.
A limited number of sliding-scale appointments may be available.

Is Telehealth Therapy Right for You?
Medical Trauma, Cancer & Chronic Illness
A serious diagnosis, hospitalization, difficult procedure, cancer treatment, or ongoing illness can change how safe you feel in your body. You may find yourself watching every symptom, fearing the next appointment, grieving what your body has been through, or feeling exhausted by the amount of energy healthcare already requires.
Telehealth lets you receive support without adding another trip or clinical environment to your week. You can talk about medical fears and uncertainty from a familiar space, which may feel especially helpful when you are tired, recovering from treatment, immunocompromised, managing pain, or simply tired of spending so much time in healthcare settings.
Anxiety & Feeling Constantly on Guard
Anxiety can leave your mind racing even when everything around you appears fine. You may overthink conversations, prepare for every possible outcome, constantly look for reassurance, struggle to sleep, or find it difficult to ever fully relax.
Telehealth gives us the opportunity to work with anxiety while you are in your everyday environment. We can notice what happens when anxiety shows up, identify patterns that keep it going, practice ways of grounding yourself, and help you respond to anxious thoughts without letting them make every decision for you.
Grief, Loss & Identity Changes
Grief may come from losing someone you love, but it can also follow changes in your health, relationships, family, career, independence, future plans, or sense of who you thought you would become. Sometimes the people around you move forward before you are ready.
Telehealth gives you a private place to say the things you may not feel comfortable saying anywhere else. Therapy can help you make room for what has been lost while also exploring how your experiences have changed you and what you want the next part of your life to look like.
Trauma & Difficult Life Experiences
Trauma can leave your nervous system responding as though something bad could happen at any moment. You may feel constantly alert, easily overwhelmed, disconnected, numb, irritable, or pulled back into memories and experiences you thought were behind you.
Meeting from your own space may make trauma therapy feel more approachable. We can move at a pace that feels manageable, notice what is happening in your body as difficult emotions arise, and work together to build a stronger sense of safety without requiring you to share more than you are ready to talk about.
Relationship Stress & Life Transitions
Relationships, caregiving, parenting, work changes, health changes, divorce, moves, and other transitions can leave you feeling unsure about what you need or what comes next. You may feel pulled in different directions or notice that the same conflicts keep happening.
Telehealth provides a consistent place to step away from everything demanding your attention and focus on yourself. Therapy can help you understand patterns, communicate more clearly, explore boundaries, and make decisions that better reflect your needs and values.
Telehealth and Walk & Talk Therapy Can Work Together
You do not necessarily have to choose one type of therapy forever.
Some WanderWell Therapy clients prefer telehealth for every appointment. Others enjoy meeting outdoors when the weather works and switching to telehealth during winter, difficult weather, health challenges, or weeks when getting to a trail is not realistic.
We can talk about what works best for you and adjust along the way.
