CPGR Welcomes Dr. Drea Tuott, PsyD, LP, to Our Team!
We are delighted to announce that Dr. Drea Tuott has joined the team at CPGR!
A licensed psychologist based in Minneapolis, Dr. Tuott brings a wealth of clinical training, a passion for supervising the next generation of clinicians, and a deep commitment to helping individuals and couples move through life's changes with intention.
A Strong Clinical Foundation
Dr. Tuott earned her doctorate in Counseling Psychology at the University of St. Thomas. She completed her predoctoral internship at the Guidance Center in Leavenworth, Kansas, and her post-doctoral hours at CARE Counseling and RockBridge Counseling and Mental Health here in Minnesota. Along the way, she has worked with teens and adults facing a wide range of concerns, including adjustment across the lifespan, obsessions and compulsions, post-traumatic stress, relationship stressors, time management, grief, depression, social and generalized anxiety, life transitions, and racial identity development.
Supporting Clients, Students, and the Profession
At CPGR, Dr. Tuott provides individual and couples counseling for adults, supervises students in practicum, and supports the Minnesota Psychological Association's Legislative Committee. She also brings specialized experience in executive coaching for healthcare professionals and entrepreneurs, helping high-performing individuals align their goals with meaningful change.
A Broad, Integrative Approach
Dr. Tuott draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Somatic Therapy. Her cultural sensitivity has been shaped in part by travel and multicultural study abroad in Southeast Asia, giving her a broadened lens for understanding clients' varied backgrounds and experiences.
Her Approach to Change
As Dr. Tuott puts it, life is always changing and we always have the ability to change ourselves. She believes every person deserves a say in what that change looks like, and she works collaboratively with clients to build an inviting space where they can safely notice their internal world. Her goal is to help clients find the strength to slow down, honor their values, set boundaries, and move through the world in new ways.
