Meet Ingela
Ingela Onstad, MA, LPCC
***Currently accepting new clients, telehealth/online only***
Welcome! As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I am dedicated to creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, career challenges, and relationship issues. I believe that each person is inherently whole and on a unique journey toward authentic well-being—a path that looks different for everyone. My goal is to walk alongside you as you uncover what well-being means for you, honoring your individuality every step of the way.
In addition to my clinical counseling work, I am also a professional musician and bring rich life experiences to my therapy practice. I enjoy meeting clients "where they are at" and employing diverse approaches, from more depth-oriented to shorter-term and solution focused. Each client is unique and brings unique needs and goals to therapy and it's my passion to help you discover what healing means for you.
I work with adults, couples, and teens aged 16 and older. My approach is integrative, drawing on evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Whether you are seeking relief from emotional pain, tools to navigate life transitions, or greater harmony in your relationships, I am here to help you move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
You don’t have to face your challenges alone. Together, we can work to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to your authentic self. Reach out today—I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
I am LGBTQIA+ allied, ENM experienced, and work with clients of all identities and orientations. I aim to create a space where diversity and differences are honored.
**I am currently self-pay only as I am in the process of getting credentialed with the major insurance companies. Please contact me for more information about rates. Some sliding scale appointments are available.
