YOUR PROVIDER
Ann Thompson, MS, LMFT
Whether you are venturing into therapy for the first time or have had therapy in the past and are seeking a new provider, I look forward to hearing about what brings you to Evolving Perspective Mental Health.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience in providing mental health therapy to individuals, couples and families. I use a person centered, trauma informed, strength-based approach to therapy. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and have extensive experience working with individuals, and their family members, who have experienced trauma, addiction and attachment wounds as well as those experiencing caregiving stress. I work with a wide range of diagnoses and individuals ranging in age from early adolescence through adulthood.
SERVICES OFFERED
In Person Therapy:
Therapy is offered in person at 100 Warren Street in Mankato. The office is wheelchair accessible and offers 2 hours of free parking in the adjacent ramp.
At this time it is requested that caution to protect against the spread of Covid 19 is taken for in person appointments. If you are experiencing illness and wish to keep your appointment, please transition your session to a telehealth session.
Masks and hand sanitizer are available in office and disinfecting will occur between sessions.
Online Therapy:
Online therapy is offered to reduce barriers to accessing therapy caused by transportation challenges, time limitations, health concerns and inability to travel due to weather. Online sessions can be provided if the client is any where in Minnesota.
Online sessions are available for established clients and can be used on short notice to avoid missing your scheduled appointment due not wanting to spread germs, transportation issues or other unplanned events that otherwise limit your ability to attend your in person session.
