Andrea Yeager (she/her), MPS, LPCC, LADC

I use an empathic and nonjudgmental approach to support clients in finding and growing their own strengths, skills, and internal wisdom to increase one’s dignity to live a life that aligns with one’s own values. I frequently use humor to connect with clients and believe therapy is a space to both share pain and celebrate beauty. DBT is central to my practice as I enjoy teaching and supporting DBT skill use with a strong focus on increasing resiliency. I provide education about neurology, development, attachment, polyvagal theory, and more to increase understanding and validation of past and present experiences. I am also trained in EMDR and the Anchored Relational (formerly AIR Network) Model.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

ACP’s DBT program adheres to the Linehan model of DBT, is certified by MN DHS. Our clients meet with their individual therapist for one hour a week and attend a two-hour weekly skills group for at least 26 weeks. Unlike traditional group psychotherapy which focuses on processing experiences and feelings, DBT groups focus on learning four sets of important skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is a very effective treatment for multiple conditions including borderline personality disorder, depression, PTSD, impulsivity, eating disorders, and some forms of anxiety.

Telehealth Services

To expand and improve our care options for clients, ACP offers Telehealth (phone or video) appointments. Telehealth uses phone or video conferencing to connect you with highly qualified and experienced providers in real-time from the comfort and convenience of your own home or office. Before your telehealth appointment, you will receive details for how you will connect with your provider. If you will be connecting via phone, the provider will plan to call you at your scheduled appointment time. Please be ready to take the call and also check that your phone allows calls from blocked numbers (accessible within your phone settings). If you will be connecting via video conference, your provider will email you an invite to join the appointment. Please call our office to learn more about ACP’s telehealth services and to schedule an appointment.
