About Ardella (Della) VanDyke

As a licensed therapist in Minnesota, I bring two decades of compassionate mental health experience to supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate transitions, emotional struggles, and personal growth—with specialized expertise in depression, self-esteem, career difficulties, and adapting to significant life changes.

I offer a warm, supportive approach for individuals experiencing diverse challenges, including women’s issues, caregiver stress, chronic health conditions, young adult transitions, and relationship dynamics. My therapeutic style emphasizes self-love, effective communication, and healing from experiences of isolation, guilt, and shame.

My commitment is to create a nurturing environment where clients can explore their inner landscape, develop resilience, and rediscover their sense of purpose. Whether you’re confronting midlife transitions, managing addiction, addressing family dynamics, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.
