Stacey Tweedt

Stacey Tweedt frames her work around the idea that when people give their power away or shrink themselves, a vacuum forms that often gets filled in harmful ways - surrendering to others, losing oneself in relationships, turning to addictions, or repeating dysfunctional and sabotaging behaviors. Those responses tend to involve either processing or projecting emotions, and the pattern will keep repeating until it is addressed.

She notes that this dynamic can prevent a central human function - feeling the truth of one’s emotions to some degree. Men, women, boys, and girls are frequently shamed away from feelings, sometimes through violence, abuse, or neglect coming from families or cultural norms.

Stacey is a licensed counselor in Minnesota (MN LCPC 4087) and brings 17 years of clinical experience working in addiction, corrections, social work, and mental health recovery across a wide array of settings.

She works with individuals and couples in recovery and holds Gottman Method certification at Levels 1 and 2. Her therapeutic aim is to empower people to build fulfilling, values-rich lives by developing insight, identifying personal values, and practicing skills that support ongoing growth.

Her approach is integrative and skills-oriented, drawing from Gottman Therapy, Adlerian concepts, schema-based work, solution-focused techniques, cognitive processing, somatic experiencing, polyvagal theory-informed methods, mindfulness, and other interventions to support learning and symptom management.

Stacey brings directness and a sense of humor to the therapy room. She recognizes that suffering is a universal part of the human experience, and she believes people are resilient and deserving of happiness.
