About

Welcome to Compass Counseling Center

Meet Our Providers: Colton Friesen, M.Ed., LPCC: Each human is unique and has the capacity to overcome life’s hardships while pursuing growth. When you are in counseling with me, I will strive to empower you with a supportive presence while I assist with your journey of deepening your understanding of yourself and creating the necessary changes for growth. I believe that addressing the root causes of your concerns, not merely the presenting symptoms, is the proper route to creating a meaningful life. This often means spending time addressing past traumatic or adverse experiences to understand their influence on your life. If you are interested in pursuing in-depth therapy with me, reach out to further discuss options for services. Alexis Cigelske, LMFT: Relationships have the power to hurt and the power to heal. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) dedicated to helping clients build loving, supportive relationships across the lifespan. I treat mental health concerns through the lens of Family Systems theory and use a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach. My specialties include couples counseling, family therapy, parenting, and healing generational trauma. Therapy with me is excitable, warm, and honest. My therapeutic style is guided by my love for people and desire for all to live a connected, meaningful, and purposeful life. Other Important Information: Appointment requests: "Request Appointment" link above or call (218)228-5868 FAX Number: (218)203-5220 ATTENTION: New intakes for both minors and couples are currently being placed on a waitlist.
