Walking With You Until You're Through
Our Therapy Practice
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a place where science meets compassion to normalize mental health and where we support people in reaching the lives they dream of—through therapy that honors their wiring and feels deeply human.
We are human first employers, our therapists bring their full selves into the room. We’re not authority figures, and we don’t shame comfort or authenticity for clients or employees. Healing happens through connection, and we believe employment and therapy should feel human—because you are.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical.
At Acquire Mental Health, we take a human-first approach. We hold space with you—present, engaged, and genuinely connected. No generic responses. No “old-school” awkwardness. We are not "blank-slate therapists."
Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about understanding you. We use evidence-based, trauma-informed, and neuroaffirming approaches that honor your unique wiring. You bring expertise on your own life; we bring clinical knowledge and an outside perspective to help notice patterns, gently challenge them, and support change when it feels right. No pressure. No shame. Always collaborative. You are the author of your story—we’re here to support the next chapter.
Our Promise
You’re a person here—not a diagnosis.
Our therapists genuinely care, remember what matters to you, and go beyond the session to ensure you’re receiving thoughtful, high-quality care. We stay up to date on current research, best practice, and we consult with each other.
We honor who you are—your story, culture, and quirks—because everyone’s wiring is different, and that’s the beauty of being human.
Serving the Brainerd Lakes Area, St. Cloud Area, and via telehealth.
Reducing the stigma
At Acquire, we believe the brain is an organ too—and caring for mental health is just as important as caring for physical health.
People seek therapy for many reasons: life transitions, grief, stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodevelopmental differences, or to strengthen relationships through couples or family therapy. Sometimes a few sessions are enough; sometimes therapy is ongoing. Both are valid.
We’re here to provide a safe space, help you acquire new skills, and offer support that honors who you are and what you need—every step of the way.
Our CORE Values
- Authenticity: We are humans first, therapists second. We show up as our real selves so you can show up as yours. No masks, no perfection--just honest connection.
- Respect: Stepping into therapy takes courage, and we honor that. Every client deserves to feel seen, safe, and valued in the work.
- Humor: Healing doesn’t have to be heavy 24/7. We believe laughter is regulation, connection, and sometimes the thing that helps you keep going.
- LOVE: Yes—love. We build a culture of belonging, acceptance, and radical non-judgment for both clients and staff. You don’t have to earn a seat here.
- Social Justice: Mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We take a systemic lens, acknowledge the impact of both micro- and macro-systems, and advocate for healthier, more equitable communities.
