Wild Roots Counseling Services

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor-Supervisor

Hello! I’m Mandy Herberholz, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor-Supervisor (LPCC-S), Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) counselor, and owner of Wild Roots Counseling Services.

I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota. My work has always been rooted in creating a space where people can feel safe, understood, and supported while navigating some of life’s most difficult and transformative seasons.

I specialize in perinatal mental health, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, grief and loss, and major life transitions. I am trained in EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and earned my Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International in 2021. Each year, I also help obtain the North Dakota Governor’s Proclamation recognizing Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week in May. Advocacy and increasing awareness of perinatal mental health have become an important part of my work.

My other areas of clinical focus include trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, self-esteem, stress, parenting, career and work concerns, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. I don’t believe therapy should look exactly the same for every person. I draw from person-centered approaches while incorporating evidence-based and trauma-informed practices, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS). I have also completed advanced training through Stanford Medicine’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE), further strengthening my use of compassion and self-compassion as part of the therapeutic process.

Above all, I believe therapy is about more than simply reducing symptoms. It’s an opportunity to better understand where we’ve come from, recognize the experiences and patterns that have shaped us, and decide what we want to carry forward as we grow.

Why Wild Roots?
Wild Roots represents being grounded in your story while having the freedom to grow beyond it. Inspired by my love of travel, exploration, and new experiences, the name reflects what I hope for my clients: strong roots, continued growth, and the courage to discover where their own path may lead.

Licensed Associate Professional Counselor

Hi! I’m Grace Tanis, LAPC and I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota. I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor and practice under the clinical supervision of Mandy Herberholz, LPCC-S, PMH-C.

Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You may understand what you are experiencing but still feel stuck in patterns that are difficult to change on your own. I believe therapy can provide a supportive space to better understand yourself, work through painful experiences, and begin creating meaningful change.

I work with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

My approach to counseling is warm, genuine, collaborative, and structured. I am trained in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and I draw from person-centered and emotion-focused therapy. Because every person brings a different history, set of strengths, and goals to therapy, I tailor our work to meet your individual needs.

I believe meaningful therapy begins with a trusting relationship in which you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. I will meet you with empathy and encouragement while also helping you identify patterns, build new skills, and take steps toward the life you want to create. My goal is to offer a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you can show up authentically and move toward greater healing, confidence, and self-compassion.

Outside of the therapy office, I enjoy playing pickleball, going for walks, shopping, cooking, watching reality television and movies, and spending time with the people I love. Fall is my favorite season, although you will likely find me drinking iced coffee year-round. Faith, humility, loyalty, and self-compassion are values that are especially meaningful to me.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you work toward healing, growth, and a greater sense of confidence in yourself.
