Mental Health Practice – Affinity Psychological Services
Affinity Psychological Services operates eight clinic locations across Minnesota: Edina, Plymouth, St. Cloud, Richfield, Bloomington, Oakdale, Apple Valley, and St. Louis Park. Telehealth services extend coverage beyond those physical sites. The multi-location structure allows the practice to serve clients across a broad geographic reach spanning the Twin Cities metro area and greater Minnesota without requiring clients to travel to a single central office.
The clinical team includes multiple licensed practitioners across disciplines. Named clinicians listed on the site include Alicia Bjorkedal (MA, LPCC, Provisional Registered Art Therapist), Claire Guentner (MA, LPCC), Alison Jones (MSW, LICSW), and Alexandra Ballinger (MA, LMFT), among additional providers accessible through an online clinician finder tool. This finder tool allows prospective clients to match with a clinician based on specialty, insurance, and other relevant criteria.
Services include anxiety treatment, depression treatment, couples therapy, grief counseling, trauma therapy, life transitions counseling, child and teen therapy, LGBTQ counseling, medication management, ADHD testing, and art therapy for both adults and children. Specialized therapeutic modalities offered include EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
Populations served reflect a notably broad clinical scope: gifted individuals, perfectionists, creative professionals, students, young adults, executives, mental health professionals, immigrants, minority communities, LGBTQ+ clients, and families. Specialty areas include prenatal and postpartum mood disorders, gender identity exploration, gender transition support, disordered eating, OCD, and burnout. The range of clinician specializations enables the practice to match each client with a provider whose expertise aligns with the presenting concerns.
The practice is described as pro-insurance and accepts insurance, with self-pay options also available. Clients schedule through an online portal or by direct contact. A secure client portal supports ongoing appointment management and provider communication between sessions. The practice’s eight-location footprint across Minnesota gives clients significant flexibility in choosing an office location that suits their schedule and commute.
