Deb Link, MA LPCC LAMFT

I am a therapist because I believe life was meant to have purpose and meaning. I also believe people are relational at our very core and that, many times, purpose and meaning happen in the context of relationships. However, it doesn't take long to recognize that relationships also create the potential for stress and pain. I work with individuals, couples and families to help create safe relationships in which people can grow, change, and reach their full potential. Whether you are a newly-married couple or a couple in the midst of divorce, I believe your life will be richer if you can live in harmonious and respectful relationships.

My undergradute degree in Educational Studies is from Northwestern College in St. Paul, MN. I completed a Master's degree at Bethel University in Counseling Psychology and have additional training in marriage and family therapy from the Adler Graduate School in Richfield, MN.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I am also a Qualified Neutral under Minnesota Rule 114, which enables me to act as a mediator in family law cases. I have training and experience in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and experience working with a variety of age ranges and diagnoses. I have worked as an in-home family therapist as well as in an outpatient mental health clinic. My specialties include individual therapy with adolescents who have emotional and behavioral disturbances such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Aspberger's, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Anxiety, and Depression. I also provide family therapy and parent coaching. Some other areas of interest include grief therapy, suicide prevention, and exploring spiritual searching and doubt within the therapeutic context.
