About Hope

Hope Scoles, MN Psychologist LP0405, brings three decades of clinical experience to work with people facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, relationship and intimacy challenges, and many life transitions. Her practice emphasizes a strength-based stance that honors each person’s existing resources while offering practical skills for resilience.

Background and approach

She often helps clients explore spiritual questions that accompany loss and supports development of coping strategies for sleep, eating, parenting, career shifts, and chronic caregiving stress. Grounded in evidence-informed methods including Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, DBT skills, and solution-focused techniques, she blends skill-building with reflective exploration to address both immediate concerns and deeper patterns.

Hope frames clients as the experts in their own story and partners with them to identify goals, practice new ways of relating to difficult emotions, and cultivate greater self-compassion. She is licensed in Minnesota and provides services in English, offering several remote session formats to fit different needs.

Integrating proven approaches through online care



Internal Family Systems invites clients to notice and relate to different parts of themselves with curiosity and compassion, helping with patterns around grief, self-criticism, and relationship struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and addiction-related concerns.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider available approaches, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the work aligns with what the client hopes to achieve and how they prefer to engage.

Online sessions via video, telephone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care from Minnesota without travel. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow skills practice between sessions, and support ongoing coaching and check-ins in a format that suits the individual’s day-to-day life.
