About Us
Meet the Team
Ashley Roberts, MSW, LICSW (Owner)
Supporting young people as they blossom into their best selves is at the core of what I believe in here at Redefyne Mental Health. I'm Ashley, the owner and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), and I bring a wealth of expertise and a genuine passion for helping youth navigate relationships, embrace their true identities, and live fulfilling lives. I'm incredibly proud of the growth we've experienced at Redefyne, a testament to the dedication of our highly skilled team of therapists.
​
My direct yet caring communication style helps young individuals explore their relationships with clarity. I'm skilled at uncovering underlying dynamics and empowering them to make the changes needed to move forward confidently. By using reflective questions like "What if we considered...?" or "Could there be another way to see this...?", I encourage young people to gain new insights and challenge their own perspectives, fostering growth and self-understanding.
​
At Redefyne Mental Health, our commitment to providing exceptional support extends across Minnesota through both convenient in-person sessions and accessible Telehealth options. We're dedicated to reaching more young people and families, ensuring they have access to the skilled and compassionate care they deserve. Our therapists bring expertise in addressing a wide range of issues relevant to youth and families, and they utilize diverse treatment approaches tailored to individual needs. We are also committed to serving a broad spectrum of demographics, ensuring inclusive and culturally sensitive care for everyone who walks through our doors or connects with us online.
Audriana Bagwell, MSW, LICSW
I specialize in working with folks who have experienced grief, loss, and childhood trauma. I love, love working with trauma and am passionate about holding space for folks suffering with child loss. My ideal client is someone who is really ready to work on themselves; ready to dig deep and get to the root of their challenges. Life is inherently painful, without a doubt. I can't take away your pain - but my hope is to help you to alleviate unnecessary suffering. I really leverage my personality as a therapist. I come to session as a full human, and I give you full permission and encourage you to do the same.
I do best with clients that are ready for change, that have tried talk therapy, but haven't quite found the relief/healing they're looking for. I am a trauma therapist through and through. I genuinely love collaborating with clients; curiously exploring life experiences and connecting dots. I have advanced EMDR training to work with folks that struggle with/cope with dissociation.
I prefer in-person therapy, as trauma therapy is tough (for me) to do online. If you’re ready to start your healing journey, please don’t hesitate to contact me. You don’t have to go through this alone.
Note: I enjoy playing with different colors in my hair, and don’t usually dress professionally. If that will make you uncomfortable (and you don’t want to work through that discomfort), I may not be the right therapist for you.
Catherine (Kate) Zhao, MSSW, LGSW
As a clinical social worker, Catherine strives to empower individuals to see the best within themselves. She believes each individual holds innate dignity and there is no shame in asking for help. As a graduate of Columbia University, Catherine tailored her education to focus on substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. With a background of working in health care for nearly 10 years, she understands the complexities physical health can play on mental health. That is why she focuses on the whole picture, not just the presenting issue. Her approach is person-centered, meeting individuals where they are and working with them to meet the goals they have set out to achieve.
Sarah Huffstetler, MSW, LICSW
Sarah is a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate through life’s challenges.
She received her Master of Social Work from The University of Hawaii at Manoa. With a background in treating anxiety, depression, interrelational struggles, personality disorders and life transitions, I specialize in providing trauma informed care using a person-centered approach. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Attachment theory to support clients in their healing journey.
My therapeutic style is rooted in creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe in the power of building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, empathy, and collaboration. I strive to help clients process and heal from past experiences while empowering them to make positive changes in their lives.
I am dedicated to helping develop coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and enhance interpersonal relationships. Through a holistic and integrative approach, I work with people to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthier behaviors, and cultivate
self-awareness and resilience.
My goal is to support individuals in building a life that is fulfilling, meaningful, and aligned with their values and goals.
Lonna Dille, MSW, LGSW
My name is Lonna, and I am a Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) through the Minnesota Board of Social Work. I obtained my Master’s degree in Social Work from Boise State University in 2020. I meet individuals with a practical approach led by authenticity and compassion, with respect to each individual's cultural and diverse needs. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and understand each individual has their own needs, goals and motivations.
Two things I wish people knew about therapy: 1) You need to find someone you connect with and are comfortable with and 2) Don’t stop looking until you have found that therapist!
So here’s what you need to know about me to decide if I’m a good fit for you: I am feisty, caring, authentic, and am ready to help you get to the core of any issues you are facing. I am not everyone's cup of tea, and that's ok. I love working with people who are ready to dig in and work hard. The goal is to put in the hard work to get you back to your best self. We do this by using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Regulation) and Flash Technique to make processing trauma more manageable. If you're ready, I'm your gal. I served as a First Responder and Firefighter for 10 years and spent much of my career in Medical Social Work.
I am trained in Flash Technique, EMDR, and Couples Therapy.
Lindsey Weaver, MSW, LGSW
Feeling overwhelmed by difficult experiences or facing challenges that make it hard to truly thrive? Hi, I'm Lindsey, a therapist dedicated to helping people of all ages find healing and create lasting positive change. I believe everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to process what they've been through and build a brighter future.
​
My approach is rooted in understanding the impact of trauma, and I strive to be genuine and completely non-judgmental in our work together. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of difficult events, struggling with anxiety, shame, grief, or the complexities of life transitions and ADHD, I'm here to walk alongside you.
​
Together, we'll focus on finding relief, building your inner strength, and rediscovering a sense of well-being that feels authentic to you. I tailor our sessions to your unique needs and offer powerful tools like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – which can help reprocess distressing memories quickly – as well as the gentle Flash Technique, mindfulness practices, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
​
Your comfort and confidentiality are paramount. I aim to create a genuine connection with you, bringing my whole self and clinical expertise to our sessions so you feel truly seen and supported. Outside of therapy, I enjoy staying active in nature, diving into a good book, and cherishing time with the people I love. I am also a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. Let's connect and explore how I can help you on your journey.
Madison Thene, MSW, LGSW
Hello, my name is Maddie and I am a newly licensed graduate social worker with a background in the juvenile justice system and schools. I truly believe in the power of early intervention. I want to empower my clients to understand their emotions, build healthing coping strategies, and develop strong interpersonal skills. I am passionate about working with children, teens, and adults. I tailor my approach to fit each client’s unique needs, cherishing the process of building strong personal connections and fostering a safe, humorous, and comforting therapeutic environment. Through a blend of empathy and patience, I am dedicated to helping children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges and develop confident, resilient individuals.
In sessions, I am committed to providing creative and engaging therapy, ensuring a space where clients can freely express themselves and explore their healing potential. My approach is all about holistic care that promotes lasting change and making therapy a dynamic and enjoyable experience. I specialize in supporting individuals with PTSD, depression, and trauma related disorders, who are ready for change.
Samantha (Sammi) McKay, MA, LPCC
I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a master's degree in counseling from the University of North Dakota. I'm passionate about helping individuals heal from trauma and reclaim a sense of safety, strength, and self. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, meaning I tailor each session to your unique experiences, needs, and goals. I believe therapy is most effective when it happens in a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard- and that's exactly the kind of environment I strive to create.
I specialize in trauma treatment and use evidence-based methods to help you move forward in a healthy and empowered way. One of the main techniques I offer is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)- a powerful, eye-movement-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories quickly and gently. ART often brings relief in just a few sessions and doesn't require you to go into detail about painful experiences. Clients often say it helps them feel lighter, more grounded and more in control of their emotions.
In addition to trauma, I support clients working through:
Anxiety and panic
Depression
Grief and loss
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Whether you're facing a recent event or carrying the weight of the past, I'm here to support your healing journey with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. Reaching out for support is a brave first step- and one you don't have to take alone. If you're ready to begin therapy or just curious about how I can help, I'd be happy to connect with you.
