I’m Stephen Feest, LCSW / Licensed Therapist, and I believe healing begins when we reconnect with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world.
For nearly a decade, I’ve helped individuals move through trauma, ADHD, anxiety, and depression using approaches that combine evidence-based therapy with experiential, sensory-rich work in nature. My practice, rooted in skills-based interventions, integrates models like IFS (Internal Family Systems), CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, creating space for real, embodied change not just insight.
Before specializing in therapy, I founded and have operated this website as a creative platform with the focus of “Advocacy, Art, and Vision” since 2015. Posting my knowledge and opinions and connecting them with real-world community actions is how I found my first job in social work which then led to fancy Director titles.
This website and it’s posts continue to shape how I view personal growth: as something expressive, hands-on, and deeply individual. It taught me that people don’t heal in isolation, we heal when we can see and be seen, create and be moved, tend and be tended.
In our sessions, you’ll find a blend of structure and creativity. One day we might be building skills, another day grounding through mindfulness or narrative reframing. Every part of the process is about helping you feel more at home in your mind and body. My focus is to help you prioritize yourself. If you are struggling, it is harder for others to depend on you. You cannot drink from an empty cup.
I currently provide therapy to clients in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Maine, and Kansas, with virtual or telehealth. I also accept most major insurance carriers, because therapy should be accessible, not exclusive. I am also open to private pay at $150 per session.
My ultimate hope is to build more skills, build a foundation in experiential learning, and ultimately provide growth in my immediate community.
If you’re ready to experience therapy that goes beyond talking, where growth takes root, I’d love to connect and explore what healing could look like for you.

I never knew where the name came from. I am a huge lover of trees so that makes sense to me. I always thought Relentless Advance was how you always lived your life.
I came here today to see images to get a dose of motivation and inspiration. Like many people I am struggling now. Your images and writing let me know, this too will pass. Thank you for sharing your talents Stephen. Love, Marge
