Hi, I'm Juli Teien

Licensed Marriage & Family therapist (MN)
She/her

Welcome! 

I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and have been practicing in the field for over 20 years. I am passionate about my work with clients across the lifespan; including children (8 & up), teens, adults & couples/families. 
I have know since I was young that I wanted to work with individuals and families in a healing environment. I highly value the work we do in therapy together, and am incredibly honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
I enjoy using a variety of therapeutic supports and modalities to help create an environment for healing, and to help you meet your goals. Some of these include using animal assisted psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Bibliotherapy, Family Systems, The Gottman Method for couples, and
sand tray therapy. 
I enjoy working with challenges and concerns around anxiety, self-esteem, parenting issues, ADHD, blended families, grief & loss, and increasing communication within self and with others. I'm particularly eager to work with families and couples, increasing communication, attachment repair and bringing in more enjoyable and fulfilling relationships. 

I love my job, and am eager to meet you!

                                                
When I'm not working, you'll find me at my barn. I have 6 horses (3 miniature + 3 full size). I love horses, and find them incredibly therapeutic. I have found through Heart Math research, as well as through my own healing journey, the many physiological benefits of being around horses. These include: lowered blood pressure and heart rate, increased levels of beta-endorphins (the 'feel good' hormones) and decreased feelings of anger, tension and anxiety. Horses also increase feelings of empowerment, trust, patience and self worth. When I'm able to, I like to incorporate my love of horses with my therapeutic work. You can check out my EAP program for equine assisted therapy (On Track EAP) through my website below, if you're interested in joining me in this too!
