Ross Beattie, MS, LPC-IT

Hello! My name is Ross Beattie. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in training
(LPC-IT). I obtained my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from
Winona State University.

In therapy, I use a strength-based, person-centered, empathic approach. My theories
include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-
Based Interventions, and Person-Centered Therapy. I believe building a strong and
empathic therapeutic relationship is important. My goal is to create an environment that makes you feel heard and safe to talk about any past or current stressors.  I believe there is growth to be had for both the therapist and the client, and my goal is to grow with you as we work together collaboratively.

Although I have experience providing therapy in a variety of areas for both children, adolescents, and adults, my specialties include:

• Anxiety
• Child/adolescent counseling (play therapy)
• Culturally/ethnically/racially conscious
• Depression
• Developing coping skills
• Emotion coaching
• LGBTQ+ counseling
• Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI)
• Relationship issues
• Self-esteem
• Sexual/sexuality areas (sex-positive therapy)
