Providers
Daniel Mrotek, LPCC
I am a passionate, knowledgeable, and resilient licensed mental health professional who has worked with diverse client populations in clinical, supervisory, and managerial roles for over 15 years.
All of us enter our own unique journey in life, and while on this journey we experience a multitude of emotions. Sometimes our sentiments are overwhelmingly difficult to express, process, and navigate. And sometimes we may not want to feel anything at all, which can manifest itself through self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. I am here to provide a comforting, open, and nonjudgmental space for people to work through, not around, parts of their journey that are distressing and painful.
I identify as a queer, cisgender therapist with extensive experience both professionally and personally within the LGBTQ+ communities of many locations, including the Twin Cities, Madison, Chicago, and Seattle. In recovery myself, I find it meaningful to work with those who may be struggling with addiction. I also have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm, personality disorders, and grief and loss. I would be honored to be a part of your journey through life and look forward to hearing from you.
My personal interests include traveling the world as much and as often as possible, while still enjoying quality time at home with friends and family. I am also passionate about environmental causes, tending to plants, pets and animals in general, music and theater, being a positive member of the local recovery and LGBTQ+ communities, and enjoying all that the Twin Cities has to offer.
Jacqueline Pena, MA, LPCC
Pronouns: She/Her
Jacqueline holds a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has two years of experience. She is a southern girl at heart, originally from North Carolina. Her military family was given the assignment to move to Minnesota five years ago, from Georgia. Being a part of the military her entire life, she has been exposed to various cultures and customs that have allowed her to appreciate people’s similarities and differences. Jacqueline believes that taking care of our mental wellness is one of the most courageous and important things an individual can do for themselves and she is honored to be a part of her clients’ healing journeys. Jacqueline enjoys working with individuals and couples, particularly those who are experiencing or have experienced trauma, anxiety, and depression.

You can expect compassion, validation, and humor balanced with encouragement to help you reach your goals. She utilizes a relational approach with Psychodynamic and Mindfulness-based CBT techniques in sessions. Lucy enjoys doing yoga, walking my dog, and skiing in my free time. She also has a passion for music (especially Taylor Swift!) and being out on the lake with family and friends.
