Our team
Sarah Cherwien Hoel, PsyD
Licensed Psychologist
I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and recovery from trauma or abuse. I work with many parents and collaborate with Minnetonka Early Childhood Family Education to offer supportive group spaces for parents who are feeling overwhelmed and seeking community.
I graduated from St. Olaf College with a Bachelorβs Degree in Psychology and Family Studies. I went on to receive my Masterβs and Doctoral degrees in Counseling Psychology from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, MN.
I have experience working in university counseling, community mental health centers, and substance use treatment centers. In these settings, I have worked with people struggling with a variety of concerns including, trauma, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, eating disorders, parenting concerns, life stressors, depression, anxiety, substance use, and bipolar disorder.
I have a passion for training, teaching, and supervision. I am an adjunct professor at the University of St. Thomas. I have taught and given presentations both in academic and community settings. I have over 14 years of experience providing clinical supervision to those pursing Masters and Doctoral level licensure.

Masters Counseling Intern
Hi Iβm Sadi! I know that starting therapy can be a daunting and overwhelming task. However, getting the help you deserve and finding a therapist that fits your needs is already the first step! If you have ever been told that your emotions are too much or too complicated, I would like to say, βI hear you, and I am here for you.β
I value kindness, compassion, warmth, understanding, support, and most importantly, the space to feel vulnerable and safe throughout our time together. Wherever you are in your mental health journey, I am excited to join you while we work together toward your goals!
My passions include helping to reduce stigma and shame surrounding mental health while maintaining a level of cultural sensitivity and empowering my clients toward their growth and healing.
