Jennifer Imsland, LMFT

Welcome. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a private practice in New Brighton, MN. I provide psychotherapy and counseling services to teen and adults, couples, and families.

My therapeutic style is empathic, relationally focused, values authenticity and is always accepting. I consider all of the different factors of past, present and future which impact you today. My goal is to partner with you so that together we can identify your next steps to equip you to live the life you choose. I have a Christian perspective and value spirituality as a positive resource for our lives.

I served for 5 years as a missionary in Haiti and often work with missionaries overseas as they transition to their host country. My cross-cultural experience allows me to view situations from a unique perspective.

I am a trained Sand-tray therapist which uses our more creative side to process problems that may be difficult to put words to.

I have three adult children who I adore. I spend most of my free time either hanging out with my family, friends or animals, remodeling my home or paddling on a nearby lake with my stand up paddle board. I am a plant enthusiast with varying degrees of success in keeping them alive and love treating myself to fancy food at least a couple of times a year.

I am most passionate about working with teens, young adults, and young married couples as they step into themselves in the midst of today’s confusing and complex challenges. It is my goal to support my clients in understanding their values, growing in their skills to face obstacles, and finding empowerment in who God made them to be.
In my time as a therapist, I have worked with clients on issues such as family conflict, identity issues, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and trauma. Currently, I have immediate availability for clients ages 11 and up!
My clients often describe me as interactive, compassionate, and candid. Building an understanding and safe environment with clients is my top priority. I work hard to create a relationship with clients that welcomes honesty and the opportunity to face hard truths together. I use a Christian perspective to inform my work and am willing to incorporate spirituality in whatever way is comfortable for my clients.
My husband and I have been living in Minnesota for the past 4 years. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, crocheting, baking, and trying new food!
