Welcome to Northfield Dynamic Therapy
Most people who reach out to us have already spent months (or years) trying to figure things out on their own. We're here to help. If you are searching for therapy in Northfield, MN (or online therapy throughout Minnesota) please look through out website to see if we're a fit for you.
Maybe you're a college student feeling overwhelmed anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, relationships, or the pressure to succeed.
Maybe you're wondering whether ADHD or autism might explain your experiences and behaviors.
Maybe you're recovering from a toxic relationship that left you questioning yourself, your reality, and your ability to trust your own instincts.
At Northfield Dynamic Therapy, we can help with many different concerns, but over the years we have developed particular expertise in these three areas.
Our Expertise
College Student Mental Health
We know college student mental health inside and out. Dr. Brottem and Dr. Page have worked as therapists within college counseling centers at Carleton College, St. Olaf College, Iowa State University, and other universities. If you're struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burn out, ADHD, low motivation, trauma, relationship concerns, or simply "adulting," you're not alone. Our goal is not just to help you survive the semester—we want to help you build the resilience, relationships, self-understanding, and skills that will help you thrive during college and long after graduation.
ADHD & Autism Testing, Therapy & Support
Many people reach out wondering whether ADHD or autism has been "under the surface" for years and simply not recognized by parents, teachers, physicians or even mental health professionals. Our comprehensive diagnostic testing helps clarify whether ADHD, autism, or other forms of neurodiversity are part of your story, while also helping us understand how anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, burnout, and other mental health concerns may be contributing to the picture.
We have particular expertise in evaluating high-masking, high-achieving adults, including women, non-binary individuals, helping professionals, and BIPOC clients whose neurodivergence may have been overlooked or misunderstood. In addition to diagnostic testing, we provide neurodiversity-affirming individual and group therapy, accommodations recommendations, and practical support to help you better understand yourself and move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.
Healing from Narcissistic Abuse
If you've experienced chronic criticism, gaslighting, emotional manipulation, or a relationship that left you questioning yourself, you're not alone. Recovery from narcissistic abuse (and other forms of abuse) often involves rebuilding trust in your own thoughts, feelings, and instincts. We provide individual therapy and supportive group experiences that help survivors heal, reconnect with themselves, and create healthier relationships moving forward.

Why Choose Northfield Dynamic Therapy?
At Northfield Dynamic Therapy, we are a concierge therapy practice—which means we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to mental health. We tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, prioritizing quality over quantity. Unlike high-volume clinics bound by systemic constraints, we focus on what truly works for you. Together, you and your clinician can adjust session length, frequency, treatment modality, and interventions—ensuring that your growth, healing, and well-being remain the top priority.
We can help you navigate:
- College Student Mental Health & Transition Support: Therapy for academic stress, perfectionism, identity exploration, burnout, roommate conflict, imposter syndrome, and more.
- Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: ADHD & Autism support, assessment, and therapy.
- Navigating Relational Abuse: Healing from narcissistic abuse and emotionally toxic relationships.
- Anxiety & OCD: Panic attacks, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, and phobias.
- Group Therapy: A powerful space for connection, growth, and support.
- Student Athletes: Performance, motivation, identity as an athlete, and mental resilience.
As a concierge practice, we go beyond traditional therapy models to ensure you get the best possible treatment. We won’t cut corners, rush your care, or fit you into a cookie-cutter mold. Instead, we offer thoughtful, individualized support that prioritizes depth, connection, and lasting change—so you get the therapy experience you truly deserve.

How is Northfield Dynamic Therapy connected with the ADHD Center of Minnesota?
Northfield Dynamic Therapy and the ADHD Center of Minnesota were both founded by Dr. Nate Page and share the same office space in downtown Northfield.
As more adolescents and adults began seeking out Northfield Dynamic Therapy specifically for ADHD and autism services, the ADHD Center of Minnesota was created as a specialized resource for ADHD and autism testing, therapy, coaching, education, and support.
The two organizations continue to work closely together to provide neurodiversity-affirming care throughout Minnesota.
If you're looking for additional resources about ADHD, AuDHD, or autism we encourage you to explore the ADHD Center of Minnesota website →
