Se habla español. (Speaks Spanish)
Personal statement:
I’m fascinated by how complex we are as human beings and how enriching our emotional and social experiences can be. I find that what’s most helpful in therapy is to take time to find the strength in the individuals and families I meet. I was born and raised in Mexico, which gives me the ability to provide therapy fluently in Spanish as well as in English along with a personal understanding of Latino culture. I also have a connection with Deaf culture in Minnesota and deep respect for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

I became a therapist because I've always wanted to do things that make a positive difference in the lives of others.

I've worked with clients for 10+ years to help them find whatever it is they're looking for in their life journeys, and I consider it an honor and privilege to be a part of that process.

Henry Price, MA, LPCC
Personal statement:
I enjoy building healthy therapeutic relationships with clients and promoting positive changes in their lives. I believe that "weaknesses" are often strengths overutilized or used in non-ideal contexts. Working collaboratively with clients, I can help them better utilize their strengths and find alternative ways of dealing with life's challenges. I use a Cognitive Behavioral approach, but incorporate ideas from many other schools of thought. I believe good therapy helps clients become a more authentic and well balanced version of themselves.

I consider it an enormous privilege to help clients achieve personal goals.

Personal statement:
Therapy is about support for movement and change. Every day clients are finding they can feel new, different, 'cleaned out', balanced, and with new energy and ability to move forward. The most frequent feedback I hear is that I'm warm, accepting, and non-judging. Clients feel safe and acknowledged for what they have lived. I honor all ages, genders, cultures, and backgrounds. Whether you are carrying trauma in your body or feel like life is just "too much", let’s see together how we can help you get on an easier happier road.
