Hello. My name is Kathy Flynn and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Minnesota. I have worked in the mental health field for 35 years. I worked in the substance-abuse programs for 14 years and went into private practice 21 years ago. My specialty has been working with addictions which includes depression, anxiety, codependency. I’ve also worked with individuals going through divorce and facing fear, anxiety, anger, betrayal, low self-esteem, and communication issues. Grief and aging are also two areas that I have worked with individuals. I’ve also worked with military families from 2007 to 2012, working with re-integration and deployment concerns. My counseling style is individual psychology which is a cognitive social psychology. I focus on a person's feelings of anxiety and inferiority to examine that person's sense of belonging. My goal is to help people feel comfortable and confident within themselves. My focus is to assist the individual in recognizing and identifying their strengths rather than their witnesses. I am looking forward to partnering with you and see you move forward on your journey through life.

Hello, My name is Melissa Hurt and I hold a Clinical Social Worker license (LICSW). My background is just as unique as yours is and I cannot wait to come alongside you in your journey into finding more peace, joy, stability, whatever it may be that you are searching for! I received my Master's degree in social work primarily focused on macro social work issues, and upon graduating I pursued my clinical license. I love having a background in social work and understanding how systems impacts our lives, both big and small. I am attune to these things when I speak with people, because they matter. Our lives are shaped by our culture, our personal family stories and the choices we've made along the way. Every one is significant. I have spent the last eight years working in disability services, primarily supporting a team of social workers. I love the aspect of support professionals and remaining connecting to the issues that folks face on the daily. I lead with compassion, strengths-focused, and creative alternatives, but mostly I believe that struggles help us grow and that when we begin to understand what we can learn from them we begin to move through them. I also have experience working with young college professionals, primarily with a military background. Our veteran community will always be near and dear to my heart. I was a military spouse for many years and our family has lives around the globe. I have been humbled and inspired by the amazing cultures that make this world such a beautiful place. I have three teenagers and love building strong, healthy families. I enjoy talking about the blessings and challenges of long-term partnerships; having been married for over twenty years, and the journey of raising children together. My approach to mental health stems from methodologies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, while a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach is always a great thread to any self-reflection. I think mindfulness and self-care are wonderful practices that are easy to infuse, but the real winner is finding out what works best for you. What is your inner voice saying it needs from you? It would by my pleasure to journey alongside you and support you throughout whatever lies ahead. I see myself as a trusted confident and someone who will be honest with you, and compassionate towards you, and your biggest cheerleader!

My passion is to help people. I have two bachelors degrees, one in Human Development and Family Science (North Dakota State University) and a Bachelor of Social Work degree (Minot State University). I received further therapeutic and clinical training completing a Master of Clinical Social Work degree from St. Thomas-St Kate’s Universities (St. Paul, MN). I have knowledge and experience with adults using various therapeutic approaches, including motivational interviewing, solutions-focused, CBT, expressive arts, trauma-informed, narrative, attachment-based, and the Interpersonal Process Model. I believe that continuing education and learning from every day experiences from those I work with are major factors in becoming a successful mental health professional. My past work experiences have included in-home caregiving for those with serious and persistent mental illness, psychiatric hospitalization levels of care, in-home and outpatient therapy, and day treatment. These opportunities have given me a wide range of experiences and skills to work with a variety of individuals seeking to better themselves and their mental health.
