Thomas Friesen, MA, CCC
Do you feel stuck—unsure of who you are or where you’re going?
It’s easy to lose touch with ourselves in the midst of life’s demands and wounds. When we’re constantly trying to meet expectations, there’s often little space left for our own feelings, hopes, and what matters most to you.
This can lead to anxiety, frustration, and a sense of emptiness. You may feel like you’re living someone else’s life, disconnected from your true self.
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to help people reconnect find their true selves and find healing from the experiences that have shaped them. As clarity and confidence grow, you can begin to live with greater authenticity, freedom, and purpose.
In a safe, non-judgmental space, you’ll have the opportunity to heal and move forward with intention. Book today and take the first step toward a more grounded, meaningful life.

Do you feel weighed down by an inner critic, fear that won’t let go, or emotional pain that feels too heavy to carry? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to face this alone.
Anxiety, depression, addiction, and anger mask deeper wounds of trauma and shame. With a calming, compassionate presence I make a safe space for big feelings and fears. I bring wisdom and experience to help people make sense of what they are going through. Together we can find your own strength and compassion and go from coping to healing.
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), a gentle yet transformative approach that helps you reconnect with your true self and begin the journey toward wholeness. Regardless of what you’ve done or what has been done to you, you matter. If you’re ready to take the first step toward healing, I’m here to walk with you.
