Space to Heal, Room to Grow
Our Community Model
How We work together
Twelve Oaks operates as a unique wellness community:
Dr. Javin Hintz provides therapy services through Twelve Oaks, specializing in sexy therapy, relationship healing, trauma recovery, and authentic self-discovery.
Our Community Providers are independent practitioners who share space at Twelve Oaks. Each runs their own business, sets their own fees, and manages their own client relationships. This model allows us to:
• Support local small businesses and practitioners
• Offer diverse healing modalities in one location
• Create true collaborative care and practitioner support
• Maintain high standards while respecting each provider's autonomy
Though our providers are independent in business, we function as a team emotionally and philosophically. We share core values, meet regularly to support each other, collaborate on workshops and events, and create a cohesive healing environment for our community.
Whether you're working with Dr. Hintz or one of our community providers, you'll experience the same nature-grounded, curiosity-driven, affirming approach to wellness.

About Dr. Javin Hintz
Javin Hintz, PhD, LICSW, CST (they/he), is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Sex Therapist, and founder of Twelve Oaks Center for Healing and Sexual Wellness, serving individuals and relationships across Minnesota and Wisconsin.
With a background supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence, homeless youth, and individuals navigating trauma and loss, Dr. Hintz recognized a critical gap in mental health care: the lack of attention to sexual wellness. This led them to pursue a PhD in Clinical Sexology, focusing on provider comfort addressing sexuality in community mental health settings.
Dr. Hintz specializes in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO), and Brainspotting. They are passionate about creating affirming spaces where conversations about identity, intimacy, and healing are welcomed and encouraged.
Our Space - Why Nature Matters
Scenic View of the land at Twelve Oaks
Twelve Oaks is nestled on 80 acres of fields, woods, and countryside... and the setting is intentional. We believe the environment where healing happens matters just as much as the work itself.
The sun coming through the trees
Nature has a way of slowing the nervous system down. The quiet, the open space, the trees.. they invite a kind of presence that's hard to find in a busy office building downtown. The commute itself becomes part of the process: leaving the noise behind on the way in, having space to reflect on the way out.
greeting you upon arrival
Whether you're here for a session, an intensive, or simply exploring what Twelve Oaks offers, we hope this land offers you the same thing it offers us... room to breathe, and space to heal.
