Licensed Minnesota Therapists Delivering Evidence-Based, Compassionate Mental Health Care

Trusted Minnesota Therapy Partners — Here to Empower You for Your Next Adventure

At Next Adventure Counseling & Consulting, we are passionate about supporting clients through their healing and personal growth journeys. Our team of licensed therapists, many with backgrounds as school counselors and social workers, brings both clinical expertise and real-world experience to every session. We create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what's holding you back, build meaningful coping skills, and develop the resilience to move forward. Evidence-based, trauma-informed, and always built around you.

The name Next Adventure is the core of our belief system. We see therapy as a means to equip our clients with the tools and support they need for each next chapter life brings. We've built our practice to remove as many barriers to care as possible. Our Therapist Match tool takes the guesswork out of finding the right fit. We offer evening and weekend appointments, accept most major insurance plans, and see clients in person across three Minnesota locations — Edina, Monticello, and Brooklyn Park — as well as via telehealth anywhere in the state. When you're ready to take that step, nothing should stand in your way.

Our Story

Next Adventure Counseling & Consulting was founded in 2022 by Dr. Marguerite Ohrtman with a straightforward and powerful vision; to create a practice where people moving through life's hardest moments could find dedicated support and come out the other side stronger. What started as a single office has grown into a team of nearly 50 licensed therapists across three Minnesota locations, built on the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care regardless of where they are or what they're facing.

Dr. Ohrtman built Next Adventure around the idea that therapy should meet people where they are — whether that's navigating a career change, working through grief or trauma, managing relationships, or simply trying to find solid ground. That founding vision still shapes everything about how the practice operates today.

New to Therapy? Start Here

  • Therapy is a collaborative process between you and a licensed mental health professional. It's a dedicated space to explore what's on your mind, understand patterns that may be holding you back, and build practical skills for navigating life's challenges. Sessions are confidential, personalized, and led by your goals — whether you're working through something specific or simply looking to understand yourself better. There's no single definition of what therapy looks like because good therapy adapts to the person in the room.

  • Therapy is for anyone ready to grow. Seeking counseling isn't a sign of weakness, it's one of the most courageous and meaningful investments you can make in yourself. Therapy gives you a confidential space to explore what's holding you back, gain clarity, and build real strategies for lasting change. Whether you're working through something specific or simply ready to grow, our compassionate therapists are here to guide you at your pace, on your terms.

  • Next Adventure was built around the belief that finding and accessing quality mental health care should be accessible and personalized. Our licensed, trained therapists bring years of expertise across a wide range of specialties, treating each individual with a holistic, evidence-based approach. Every therapy plan is personalized for your unique journey, and our services are flexible, accommodating schedules and insurance requirements specific to you.

  • At Next Adventure, our therapists are experienced in supporting:

    • Individuals of all ages

    • Couples and families seeking stronger relationships and communication.

    • Children and adolescents navigating school, identity, and growing up.

    • LGBTQ+ individuals looking for an affirming, inclusive space.

    • Healthcare professionals, educators, and college students managing stress, burnout, and the unique pressures of their roles.

    • Law enforcement officers and first responders dealing with the weight of high-stakes work.

    • Anyone else who simply needs a place to land and a team to walk beside them.

    If you don't see yourself in this list, reach out anyway. Chances are we have someone who is the right fit for you.

  • Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncertain — we want to make the process as clear and comfortable as possible. Here's what to expect when you reach out to Next Adventure:

    Step 1 — Reach Out Fill out our contact form or use our Therapist Match tool to tell us a little about yourself and what you're looking for. A member of our team will follow up within two business days to discuss next steps and answer any questions you have.

    Step 2 — Get Matched & Schedule Once we've connected, we'll pair you with the therapist who's the right fit for your needs and schedule your first appointment. We'll also send over any intake paperwork to complete before your first session so you can hit the ground running.

    Step 3 — Your First Session Your first session is really a conversation. Your therapist will take the time to get to know you, understand what brought you in, and start building a picture of what support looks like for you. There's no pressure to have everything figured out before you walk in.Item description
