About Jamie Hermes
Therapy for Burnout, Anxiety, Trauma & Life Transitions in Minnesota
Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have spent years holding everything together for everyone else. From the outside, they appear successful. Internally, they're exhausted, overwhelmed, or wondering why life feels harder than it should.
Therapy offers a space to slow down, better understand what's happening beneath the surface, and create meaningful, lasting change.
About Jamie Hermes
I help adults navigate anxiety, burnout, trauma, life transitions, and the patterns that keep them feeling stuck.
My Approach
My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. Together, we'll work to better understand what's driving your distress, build effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, EMDR, trauma-informed therapy, and relational work, tailoring treatment to your unique goals and experiences.
Why I do This Work
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than twenty years in leadership, organizational development, and change management roles with companies including Target, 3M, Optum, and Wells Fargo. That experience gave me a deep understanding of the pressures many professionals face - high expectations, burnout, perfectionism, difficult relationships, and major life transitions.
Today, I bring both perspectives into my work. I understand the realities of demanding careers, caregiving responsibilities, and navigating change, while also recognizing that insight alone does not always lead to lasting growth.
A grounded, relational approach
Therapy with Jamie is collaborative, structured, and attuned to both your nervous system and the realities of your life.
Our work often focuses on:
Reducing chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout
Untangling long-standing patterns rooted in early responsibility, trauma, or emotional neglect
Increasing emotional flexibility, self-trust, and relational ease
Developing ways of living and relating that don’t rely on constant self-pressure
Sessions integrate trauma-informed therapy, parts-based work, EMDR, and practical skill-building. The pace is intentional - building stability first, then supporting meaningful change.
