Lizzi Carlson (She/her)

Starting therapy is a courageous step, and I understand that the initial move to be seen and heard can often feel like the hardest part. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and truly heard. 

With 12 years of experience as a first responder, I’ve dedicated my life to helping people through some of their most difficult moments. My background in addressing mental health crises has given me a deep understanding of complex challenges, and I bring that experience to our work together with a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach.

As a bisexual woman, I’m especially passionate about creating a safe, inclusive environment for the LGBTQ+ community. I’m here to walk with you through whatever you're facing—whether it's navigating relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, addiction or self-esteem struggles. You don’t have to go through it alone; I’m here to listen, encourage, and support you every step of the way.

Outside of therapy, I love staying active by playing hockey, running, hiking, and working out. I’m also a big animal lover—my Mini Australian Shepherd and Tabby cat keep me company when I’m not out exploring new places.

Education:

I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology at the University of St. Thomas and under supervision. I previously obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology from the University of River Falls, WI. 

I offer both virtual and in-person therapy sessions for individuals 16+. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I’d love to connect with you. Together, we’ll create a path toward the growth and peace you’re seeking.
