About Hope

Hope Scoles is a Minnesota-licensed psychologist (MN Psychologist LP0405) with three decades of clinical experience helping people navigate grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and a wide range of personal and relational challenges including ADHD and addiction.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a strength-based approach that honors each person's knowledge of their own story while offering practical skills to increase resilience and emotional balance. Her work often includes supporting clients through loss and the spiritual questions that can arise, as well as addressing chronic stress, compassion fatigue, and difficulties with intimacy or relationships.

Hope blends evidence-informed methods with collaborative coaching to help clients move from coping to living with greater purpose and satisfaction. She encourages courage in taking the first steps toward change and provides steady guidance as clients try new strategies and build on existing strengths.

Online approaches that build skills and insight

Hope integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients develop emotional regulation and present-moment awareness. DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for people struggling with anxiety, mood instability, or relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes nonjudgmental awareness of thoughts and sensations and supports stress reduction, improved focus, and a steadier response to difficult experiences.

Determining which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That partnership helps tailor the mix of skills training, reflective work, and solution-focused planning to the client’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it possible to practice new skills between sessions, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from wherever the client is located in Minnesota.
