Meet our doctorate-led team of licensed counselors in the Twin Cities, providing evidence-based therapy, DBT, and psychological testing tailored to your needs.
Natalis Psychology is a doctorate-led team of clinical psychologists and licensed therapists serving St. Paul, MN and Minneapolis. Our multidisciplinary staff provides evidence-based mental health care including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), comprehensive psychological testing, anxiety treatment, and family therapy. Under the leadership of Dr. Mark Hansen, Dr. Greg Picker, and Dr. Lisa Johnson, we emphasize collaborative care to ensure every client is matched with a clinician whose credentials and specialties align with their therapeutic goals.
Too many people start therapy and feel unseen — or worse, unheard. Natalis was built on recognizing that you deserve something different. From day one, you will be treated with respect, compassion, and clarity. Here’s what we believe:
Your identity, boundaries, background, and pace matter. We aim to build a caring, safe space.
No vagueness. We’ll keep you informed — what to expect, how long it might take, what’s possible.
Therapy isn’t about placeholders. It’s about outcomes that matter to you. We combine evidence-based clinical practices with empathy.
If you’ve ever left a session thinking “this doesn’t feel like it’s me,” we want to change that.
Browse mental health providers to see who fits your needs best.

At Natalis, therapy isn’t “one-size-fits-all.” It’s intentional, relational, and built every step around you. Here’s how our process works:
You tell us your goals, preferences, and values. We recommend a therapist who fits.
Choose from in-person or virtual sessions that suit your life.
Begin your journey with confidence and clarity.
You’ll experience transparency from the start — about costs, what to expect, privacy, and healing paths. Our goal is that you feel seen, respected, listened to — and hopeful.
Offices located in St. Paul, Woodbury and St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
“I feel like I’ve finally been making huge progress towards living a healthier and happier life since becoming welcomed into the Natalis Psychology group. Dr Brittany Van Buskirk has been hugely helpful in allowing me to take back control of my life and work towards a better future for myself. Absolutely could not be more pleased and grateful to her for all the work she’s done with and for me!”
“I absolutely love my therapist Jamie Castner. Her knowledge of DBT and CBT skills (which are simple and practical) combined with her warmth, patience, and objectivity are instrumental to my healing process. She is proof that therapy can and does help if you take the time, do the work, and have the proper support. And while therapy does take time, going it alone may take much longer with less or no gains. I can say this because I made the mistake of trying to heal myself for many years. You are not weak for needing help, so please, get the help you need to heal and grow – it will save you years of anguish and maybe even your life. Peace.”

Start from what matters most: their specialties, your comfort with their style, your logistics (insurance/location). Our bios & matching process are designed to make that easier.
Psychologists typically have doctoral degrees and might offer testing; therapists include licensed counselors or social workers focused on talk-therapy. Both are trained professionals who can help — you decide based on your needs.
Yes. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is powerful for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness — especially when anxiety, overwhelm, or intense emotion regulation are daily challenges.
Yes. Most major insurance plans are accepted. We also offer transparent payment options, and our intake team helps you understand coverage.
Absolutely. If someone’s bio speaks to you, you can ask for them. Or, use our matching process and we’ll help you find someone who aligns with your values and goals.
We get to know you: history, hopes, fears, what’s working and what’s not. Together, you set goals and begin shaping what healing looks like for you.
Therapy should feel like it was made for you, not like you have to shape around it.
