Jamie Pekarek Krohn, Senior Psychotherapist, LPC, CYT
Jamie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT-200), holds a certification in Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and has training in mindfulness meditation and somatic practices. She has been in clinical practice for over 20 years and offers therapy to individuals and couples addressing anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relational issues, menopause, eating disorders, family and/or partner conflict, mood dysregulation, life transitions, stress, parenting, work/life balance, sexuality, and gender. She is open to exploring what is meaningful for you.
​
The longest and most intimate relationship we'll have is with ourselves. It is also the foundation from which we build all other relationships. Oftentimes, aspects of it can bring us pain and confusion, leading us to develop disruptive thoughts and behaviors. This is when therapy can be helpful. Jamie's clients tend to be individuals and couples who realize they are not living at their fullest potential and want to get there.
​
Her therapeutic approach utilizes aspects of Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness-based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Positive Psychology, and Somatics as well as creative approaches like art, movement, metaphor, and visualization. Her focus is on collaboration, creating a space together where you feel safe to explore problematic patterns and connect with healthy, more productive ones that move you forward.
​
In addition to individual and couples therapy, She leads groups for menopause and plans to add more group offerings in the future. She also offers clinical supervision and peer consultation for therapists and other health and wellness providers.

Amber Sebastian, Psychotherapist, MFT-IT
Amber graduated from the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Edgewood College and specializes in couples counseling. She works with individuals, couples, and families, offering support for a variety of issues including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, grief, stress and trauma. She strives toward an affirming and client-centered approach and supports folks of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, neurotypes, and relationship structures.
Amber’s therapeutic approach draws upon Buddhist philosophy and the notion that every human being possesses an innate clarity-- an inner "Self" harboring qualities of compassion, courage, wisdom, and loving-kindness. This aligns well with the language of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a technique she is training in at Clear Path. Amber approaches therapy as a collaborative process wherein clients are gently guided inward with compassionate curiosity, engaging in a process of self-exploration that allows clients to tap into their own inner resources to experience insight, healing, and growth.
As a couples therapist, Amber strives to create a climate of emotional safety that allows partners to develop new ways of connecting with one another, overcome problematic communication patterns, strengthen trust, and deepen their sense of closeness and intimacy. Amber has completed Levels 1 & 2 of the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy. Additionally, she has completed an externship in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and will complete her training and certification in EFCT during 2024-2025 via the MN Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Amber offers both in-person and virtual therapy sessions, as well as group therapy and workshops. If you’re curious about becoming a client, the first step is a conversation.
