Life can be overwhelming, especially when you’re carrying the weight of past relationships, early wounds, or ongoing patterns that leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You might be navigating anxiety, shame, loneliness, or a deep sense that something just isn’t working in your life or relationships. You’re not alone, and meaningful healing is possible.

At BattleRobin Counseling, we help people heal from trauma and toxic stress, including relational trauma and moral injury, so they can build more connected, authentic, and empowered lives. Whether you’re struggling with complex PTSD, toxic shame, or simply feel like your story has been shaped by experiences that made it hard to trust or belong, we’re here to help you reconnect with yourself and others in a new way.

BattleRobin Counseling is lead by Dr. Allison Battles, a licensed clinical psychologist, Certified Therapeutic Game Master, and trauma recovery specialist based in Minneapolis, MN. Our practice offers individual therapy, psychological assessment (including ADHD and personality testing), group therapy (including therapeutically-applied Dungeons & Dragons groups), and training and consultation for providers, healers, organizations, and community members invested in trauma-informed care and creative, collective healing.

We integrate narrative, relational, and psychodynamic approaches in ways that are practical and personal, helping you explore your story, notice patterns, and understand your emotions while centering cultural context, humility, and equity. In therapy, we work collaboratively to understand how past experiences continue to echo through your emotions, relationships, and sense of identity. Together, we untangle patterns that keep you stuck, explore difficult emotions, and create space for self-trust, clarity, and more meaningful connection, while attending to the personal, relational, and cultural dimensions of healing.

We have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, spiritually-diverse, neurodivergent, and Veteran clients, and bring a strong commitment to cultural humility and justice-informed care.

We accept Aetna insurance and also offer self-pay options for those without coverage. Superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement. All services are currently offered virtually, and good faith estimates are provided.

If you’re ready to explore what healing could look like, or want to learn more about how we might work together, we welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.
