Welcome to Sunrise Wellness
A sunrise is one of the most majestic spectacles we can ever witness. Its beauty is a powerful force, one capable of imparting its warmth on the most hardened of souls. It inspires, it energizes, it renews, it gives hope. In the people we work with, we see the sunrise, we see the inspiration and the hope. We look forward to hearing your story and helping you find the strength and renewal that may be covered by darkness.
We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness. – Sapna Reddy
MEET OUR TEAM
We see clients both in person and through Teletherapy.
Hayley utilizes concepts and techniques from systemic, humanistic, mind-body, cognitive-behavioral, and trauma-informed perspectives. She is trained in utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to support her client’s in processing and making meaning out of challenging past experiences.She is also an Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) trainer and has a strong passion for deepening our understanding of suicide and expanding our ability to talk about it. Hayley approaches counseling from an integrative perspective because each client has their own story and ways of navigating life’s challenges.
Hayley specializes in working with law enforcement, first responders, veterans and their families. She not only provides individual, couples, and family therapy, but also enjoys providing wellness check-ins and training to law enforcement and first responders. Hayley also works with folks across the lifespan (ages 13+) and particularly enjoys working with LGBTQ+ teens and young adults in her practice. Clients can expect therapy with Hayley to be compassionate, direct, full of movie references, sitting in ‘the sh*t’ when needed, and a few giggles along the way. When not at work, Hayley enjoys giving car concerts free-of-charge to passing drivers, walking outside, spending time with her four-legged son, and doing art sh*t.
Ehlan believes that parents/guardians are an integral part of working with children, and incorporates parenting support and check-ins as a regular part of the therapy process. Ehlan primarily provides Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and maintains a solution-focused direction throughout therapy sessions.
Ehlan has received specialized training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and 0-5 Mental Health. She enjoys working with children of all ages, and has experience working with a variety of diagnoses and problem areas including but not limited to anxiety, depression, Autism, AD/HD, behavioral problems.
Ehlan works out of our Isanti clinic.
I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, drawing from various theories/styles to meet client needs. I like to utilize games, activities, videos, and books to engage and motivate clients toward reaching their goals. I encourage parent involvement and collaborate with others (teachers, case managers, etc.) to gain insight and promote growth across settings.
While I may appear laid-back and tend to use humor, I am also very passionate about mental health. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment where others feel they are heard and that they matter. I strive to be understanding, respectful, and supportive to the kids I serve, as well as their parents.
Prior to being a therapist, I spent fourteen years as an officer for the Minneapolis Police Department. During my time in uniform, I witnessed and experienced firsthand the stress involved in “doing the job.” In addition to being an officer, I also have over thirty years of experience working in the health and wellness industry. This unique background allows me to utilize Exercise Psychotherapy as a primary means of helping people move forward. This approach intentionally combines exercise and psychotherapy which can occur in-session and simultaneously.
I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, so I have received additional training in a variety of modalities. These include Brainspotting, Trauma-Focused CBT, Simplified Emotional Freedom Techniques, Mindfulness, and other integrative wellness-based intervention strategies.
My educational background includes an AS in Integrative Health and Healing, a BS is Kinesiology, Sociology, and Rhetoric and a MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have multiple health and wellness certifications including being a currently certified personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist, performance enhancement specialist and a life coach. If you are looking for something different, and are ready to do the work, come see me.
Psychological evaluations are also something I do. These are often helpful to clarify diagnoses and enhance treatment planning. These consist of a clinical interview and then utilizing specific tests to focus in on the original question. I feel strongly that we look at strengths as well as growth opportunities to help with treatment planning. One area of focus I am utilizing is Therapeutic Assessment.
I am fully licensed as a clinical psychologist and adhere to APA guidelines and ethics.
Individual & Family Therapy
Whether you are planning to be married, preparing to have a baby, or moving toward retirement, adjustments to these and other stressors can seem overwhelming. We work with males and females ages 16 and up to address anything from transitional changes to larger, more stressful or chronic situations.
Trauma & Stress Therapy
We specialize in working with people who have experienced highly stressful or traumatic events in their lives. We work with individuals, couples, police officers and other first responders/public service employees. Sometimes these are single event episodes and other times the events have drawn out over a long period of time and built up for a cumulative effect.
Professional Supervision
Andrea, Bruce and Michelle provide supervision for LPCC and LMFT licensure track and provide onsite practicum and internship opportunities. Andrea is an EMDR approved consultant. We find that mentoring and supervising new and developing professionals is empowering and is an opportunity to continue growing skills as a seasoned therapists’.
