We are all here to evolve into more conscious, responsible individuals. Mental health issues arise when we are out of alignment with what is happening within and around us. As we embrace and adjust to our life situations–working through our disappointments and broken expectations–our equilibrium is restored. We feel stronger and more capable to accept what is in front of us to do, with new joy and understanding. Blending psychology with spirituality, I offer tools for self-discovery, forgiveness, meditation, healthy transitions, healed relationships, and positive parenting. You will learn how to uncover hidden strengths and be on track with your life purpose.

Hello! My name is Tessa Anttila (she/her). I come from a colorful background of many people from Finland, Ireland and France as well as being a descendant of the Potawatomi Indigenous people of Lake Huron. I am a mother and community member, who has lived down the street from the Mississippi River her whole life, ranging from northern Minnesota to Minneapolis where I live now. I have 15 years of experience as a trauma psychotherapist providing a combination of somatic & talk therapy and have recently added brainspotting.
My therapeutic approach is informed by movements of liberation from the dehumanizing impacts of living in a disconnected and lonely world and how this pain impacts our lives and communities. I understand well, how disconnection and avoidance impacts relationships and am deeply commitment to the healing of our fractured connections with nature and the liberation of life on Earth.
I was recently certified in brainspotting by Linnea Swanson. This new healing modality profoundly resonates with me. The power and grace of the human brain to heal itself within the compassionate space of therapy inspires me daily. I already have my level 2 training planned for this fall. I am elated to continue practicing and learning more about brainspotting!
