Message from Therapist

I firmly believe that God can work wonderful miracles in our lives and that we need to take full personal responsibility to work with God and the Holy Spirit to be the very best people that God created us to be. We need to face the hard issues in life, as well as the hard issues within, and to work against any obstacles between us and God.

Please contact me if you need more information about how I might be able to assist you in your personal growth and / or healing.

More About Mary Jo Faustgen, MA, LMFT

I have been working as a counselor with MidWest Center for Personal and Family Development since 1998. I have been privileged to be a part of this large and ever-expanding organization that has served so many people from the Twin cities area and nearby. 

I took the last 2 years off from my professional practice due to being diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. I had to undergo many months of hospitalization, chemo, immunotherapy, and finally a bone marrow transplant. I feel so blessed to be in remission, and have witnessed many miracles in my own healing and in my personal life. I give God and His Blessed Mother credit for my healing, and know that they guided the doctors and nurses that have taken care of me. And if God wills it, I will continue to be in practice for a very long time, helping His people to heal and to trust in Him.
