About Hope
Hope Scoles is a Minnesota psychologist with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, sleep and parenting challenges. She works in a strengths-focused way and centers the client’s own knowledge about their life.
Hope guides clients through grief and loss and the bigger spiritual questions that can come with it. She helps people find practical skills to manage anxiety, mood changes, and the restless discontent that sometimes follows life transitions. Sessions also address addictions, career concerns, and difficulties with intimacy or commitment.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Hope aims to help people notice their existing strengths and build resilience one step at a time. Conversations tend to focus on clear, usable tools and small behavior changes that fit into everyday life.
Hope draws on methods such as mindfulness, solution-focused work, internal family systems, and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to create plans that match each person’s needs. She encourages curiosity about patterns that keep people stuck and then practices new ways of responding.
Starting therapy with Hope involves identifying goals, trying manageable skills between sessions, and checking progress together. Her approach is steady and practical, intended to support people as they move toward a more satisfying daily life.
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Hope uses approaches such as dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness therapy to address everyday struggles. Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on learning concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It can be helpful for people dealing with mood swings, strong anxiety, or problems with emotional regulation. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination, ease anxiety, and improve sleep and focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. Progress is tracked collaboratively and adjustments are made based on what helps most.
