Connie Toavs

CSAT, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist serving MN & WI. CPTT, Certified Partner Trauma Therapist serving MN & WI. Connie takes pride in where she came from. Connie's story is rooted in her agricultural heritage, growing up on a farm where she learned the values of hard work and connection to the land. Inspired by her father's farming legacy and her mother's role as a healthcare worker, she developed a passion for empathetic caregiving and meaningful connections. With a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Gerontology, and a Master's in Social Work, Connie dedicated herself to a career in helping others. Beyond her professional achievements, she finds fulfillment in her bustling family life, in which she has a husband and two children, dogs, cats, and chickens. Together, they embrace the family farming lifestyle, tending to the land, gardening, canning and cherishing the great outdoors through camping and fishing. Connie likes to sew, craft and spend time with family and friends.  She considers herself an old soul and it makes her heart happy to build meaningful connections with others. In October 2023, Connie founded Cultivate Empowered Healing.
