Jolene Long, MSW, LGSW: COVID VACCINATED & BOOSTED! - In-Person & TELEHEALTH: Currently Taking New Clients! (Target Populations: Adults & Teens, 13+ years)
Hello, Hello! I recently graduated from my master’s program and became a Licensed Graduate Social Worker specializing in clinical social work. During the past year, I was able to study the following subjects: Polyvagal Theory & trauma, Integrative Behavioral Health, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for depression and anxiety, Narration & the Art of Self: personal and cultural identity & expression, Developmental Trauma & Attachment, Mindfulness Programming & holistic mind-body practices, and the neurobiological lens within Relational Cultural Therapy. I am also trained in Suicide Prevention, LGBTQI+ Inclusivity, Gender-Responsive Care, Racial Trauma, and Harm Reduction.
I am a firm believer in Relationship as a powerful intervention. I enjoy creating space where Relationship is honored, and I assist clients in forming and maintaining safe, loving, growth-fostering connections with Self, Others, and the World we inhabit. I believe all persons can heal, grow, change, and develop and that they are the expert on themselves. I tailor my methods by helping clients identify what work they suppose needs to be done to build more of the life they yearn for despite the very real internal and external obstacles they experience.
I have worked in the health and human services field for 15+ years and am eager to learn more about Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, Embodiment, Consent Culture, Somatic Experiencing, Racial & Cultural Responsiveness, Depth Psychology, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Emotional Brain Training.

Darra Bonham, LGSW: COVID VACCINATED - TELEHEALTH & In-person: Taking New Clients
(Target Populations: Individual Therapy for Adults)
Hello, thank you for visiting my bio. I view psychotherapy through a trauma focused lens using EMDR as my main modality, with a psychodynamic approach. I am also expanding my focus to add a more holistic approach that includes the body, mind, spirituality, and brain. I am an enrolled Red Lake Nation member and have much experience working with Indigenous peoples in tribal settings. I treat childhood trauma impacting adults; current trauma; domestic violence; grief and loss; anxiety disorders, depression and low self-esteem. I am neurodiverse positive and work with individuals that are autistic or suspect they are autistic; as well as those with ADHD and other neurodiverse brains with a focus on acceptance and celebration of their unique selves.
My education focused on Native American/Indigenous peoples in both my bachelor's degree in social work from the College of St. Scholastica and Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
In my personal time I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, plants, gardening, sewing, beading, and drawing.
