Leigh Hagglund, DNP, APRN, CNP

As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality healthcare that meets their unique needs.

I work with adults between the ages of 21-65, who are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Those who possess insight, a spiritual inclination, and a desire for guidance as they stand at the crossroads of change feel most aligned with me and my practice. Whether you are contemplating a new direction in your career, relationships, or personal growth, I’m here to support and empower you to take charge of your well-being. You are allowed to prioritize your needs and nurture yourself. That is why I focus on your unique aspirations and tailor your therapy to meet your goals.

I use a holistic approach that utilizes medication management and psychotherapy to address a range of mental health issues. My primary treatment modalities draw from psychodynamic psychotherapy and mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT). I also incorporate knowledge and techniques learned from my personal studies in Yoga, Ayurveda, Jungian psychology, Buddhism, Hinduism, Kabbalah, and esotericism. Among the most common conditions I treat are depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in mental health care to my practice. I obtained my Bachelors of Science in Nursing at the University of Minnesota, then went on to earn both my Masters degree and Doctorate of Nursing Practice from the College of St. Scholastica. My professional journey began as a registered nurse in a community mental health setting, where I worked with individuals living with serious and persistent mental illness. I then expanded my skills in hospital settings, where I cared for individuals on psychiatric and substance abuse units. I transitioned to private practice when I became licensed as a nurse practitioner. In this setting, I was able to hone in on my special interest in treating mood and anxiety disorders and how best to personalize patient care in a meaningful and effective way. During my doctoral education, I also taught as an associate professor in the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner program at the College of St. Scholastica. I established Truyu Health & Wellbeing in 2018, with the aim to create a healing environment where my patients can count on being seen and heard.

When you work with me, get ready for an experience that's as unique as you are. I listen, I understand, and I communicate with care to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.

Oh, and let's not forget about Kirby, the real star of the show! Kirby, my long-haired, standard-sized Dachshund, brings an extra dose of warmth and comfort to my space. He's always ready to offer a furry paw and a wagging tail to brighten your day.

So, if you're looking for a welcoming environment where you're not just another appointment, but a valued person, we’re just an email or phone call away.
