Practical Mental Health Counseling & Consulting

Hi! I’m Nate Van Heuveln.

I’m Nate Van Heuveln (van-hev-lin), founder of Criterion Counseling and Consulting in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. I contract with Fuller Living & Associates Llc to provide evidence-based psychotherapy to help individuals overcome psychological challenges and lead more fulfilling lives.

Although my emphasis is mental health counseling, I combine my psychologically-informed approach with a background in industrial-organizational psychology, as well as education, to extend my services to career coaching, leadership competency coaching, and organizational development consulting. These non-mental health services complement my specialties in mental health counseling, distinguishing Criterion Counseling and Consulting, allowing for a well-rounded approach to your individual or organizational well-being.

As a supervised pre-licensed psychotherapist (LPCC-track), I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), offering personalized therapy for depression, anxiety, social anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and other life challenges. My goal is to empower clients with practical tools for lasting mental wellness, whether through in-person or online therapy. My mental health services, along with my LPCC supervision, are all provided under the supervision of Fuller Living and Associates, LLC, which is the organization with whom I contract to provide such services.

In addition to mental health services, I offer career consulting for professionals navigating career transitions, seeking to enhance job satisfaction, or developing leadership skills. With a background in industrial-organizational psychology, I understand the connection between career and mental health and aim to support clients in achieving both.

At Criterion Counseling and Consulting, I focus on helping you reach your goals, whether that’s managing PTSD, improving social anxiety, or advancing your career, leadership skills, or employees’ engagement. Call me today for a free 15-minute consultation to see if my services fit your needs; If not, I can most likely connect you to someone else who may be a better fit.
