Therapists in Minnesota

I enjoy working with individuals and couples ages 16 and older, from all walks of life. I dedicate my work to helping individuals navigate through major life transitions, anxiety, depression, relational problems, trauma, parenting challenges, grief/loss, eating disorders, body image concerns, identity development (especially with LGBTQIA+ populations), personal growth and development.

My focus in therapy is to build a trusting relationship which inspires self-discovery and a greater capacity for change. I tend to use a relational style with curiosity, humor, and compassion to support people in understanding and coping with mental health symptoms, learning better communication skills in relationships, and exploring identity development and life transitions. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples, and particularly enjoy working with those seeking support for anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, and identity development, including LGBTQ+ identities, as a queer person myself.

I am only accepting relational clients. I believe it is so important to be curious, compassionate, and present. When you find yourself looking for assistance, you know what that better future would look like, and in collaboration we can work on exploring how to get there. You are the expert of your life, and my duty is to provide a safe space to explore. Sometimes it can be harder to explore and be present in an oppressive social system like the one we are surrounded in, especially for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. I have experience working with non-monogamy, relational conflict, communication improvement, and family systems.

Have you been feeling stressed, overwhelmed, stuck, or lost? Reaching out for support from a therapist can play a huge role in finding fulfillment and purpose, challenging negative thoughts, and beginning the process of living as your authentic self. When we work together, we collaborate to explore your concerns in a safe, nonjudgmental, and individualized environment. My goal is to help validate, empower, and guide people in their healing as they work towards their goals. Together, we can expand on your strengths, skills, and values to cope through stressors, gain self-awareness and perspective, and find a positive path forward.

I believe that building an authentic relationship with each client is one of the first steps in moving towards peace, hope, and healing. As we seek to understand ourselves and the patterns of distress, conflict, or confusion we fall into, taking space to explore our strengths and connections is an important step in building a foundation for how we want to move through our world. I value creating a non-judgmental space for each individual, couple, or family to identify their goals and work together to reflect and acquire the necessary tools to begin to feel whole.

Currently, I am offering online and in-office sessions. If the whole world's a stage (as Shakespeare wrote), you are the lead actor. I take a supporting role for you or your child to achieve optimal mental health. I welcome all ages and forms of diversity, including non-binary or trans-identified individuals. I work with children/adolescents, adults, couples and families of any configuration.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients (ages 16+), especially those with complex experiences of trauma, dissociation, and plurality. Together with my clients, we explore identity, relationships, and how to heal within a societal structure that oppresses us. Joining others on the road through trauma into healing has become my life’s work and passion.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I work from a trauma-informed, harm reduction, sex positive, attachment-based lens. I specialize in working with adults from diverse backgrounds, particularly the LGBTQ+ community. I see clients for individual therapy. I especially enjoy working with creative people and have a deep understanding of the creative process. I am trained in EMDR, AEDP and DBT.

As a therapist, I am committed to being a source of unconditional positive regard, asking hard and important questions, offering observations to identify connections in experiences, exploring and challenging negative self-beliefs, offering tools and skills in the capacity desired, and celebrating the ups and the downs of the process. I believe human growth, change, and healing is most easily found when we allow ourselves the chance to be uncomfortable. I am a Certified Accelerated Resolution Therapy Practitioner and have found it to be an incredible tool for increasing healing with life’s big and small difficulties.

I encourage you to take a deep breath for the fact that you made the brave step of arriving on this platform. My approach to therapy integrates Interpersonal process and intersectional feminist multicultural frameworks. I have observed that the root of a majority of individual concerns derives from their relationship with others as well as their relations to society and their culture. My role as a therapist would be to find collaborative solution based options with my clients for long term and manageable well -being.

If you have struggled to find effective therapy and regulate your emotions I may be the therapist for you. I have a strong passion for intersectionality, trauma, minority experience, and people underserved or poorly served by our mental health systems. I am most interested working with folks at one of the intersections of LGBTQIA+ identity, neurodivergence, and trauma providing respectful, culturally humble and non-judgmental care.

I can help you deal with your pain, celebrate your joys, and manage the day to day. I believe that we are partners in the counseling process, and together we can figure out what works best for you. Some special interest areas include working with life transitions and adjustment, exploring values and identity, working with depression and anxiety, working with individuals that identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, and working with men. Please contact me to discuss how I can help you meet your goals.

Hello! I'm Joe, and I am deeply committed to providing a safe, inclusive space for everyone to explore their journey. With a background as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and with a Master of Professional Studies in Integrated Behavioral Health, I have developed specializations including LGBTQ+ related concerns, anxiety and depression management, and enhancing self-worth and self-esteem. These specialties, along with training and experience in additional areas, enable me to guide you through life's uncertainties with empathy and compassion, tailoring our sessions to meet your unique needs.

As a systemic therapist, I think of people kind of like nesting dolls: we all go through life as the little one in the middle, whole and independent, yet undeniably we are nestled in larger contextual structures. I will meet you with compassion, humor, and non-judgment in the therapy space, holding your whole picture in mind as we work together to integrate the realities of your context with the realities of your heart. All parts of you are welcomed and held. I am a queer-identifying provider and enjoy supporting clients in navigating their own identities.

Hey There! I'm Bee. I am a quirky, non binary, queer and neurodivergent therapist who has a social justice, existential and feminist lens when it comes to therapy. My focus is on exploring personal identity. What does it mean to be Queer in a heteronormative world? What are your own values versus values imposed by society? I bring authenticity to the therapy room, creating a comfortable space for you to express yourself as you wish (slippers and coziness welcome!). I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, addressing complex trauma and exploring gender/identity.

As a therapist I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship with each client through empathy, acceptance, authenticity, and humor. My goals are for you to feel seen and understood, to provide space for processing emotions in a trauma-informed and culturally responsive way, and to join you in your journey to find congruence between your ideal and real self. I take an integrative approach to therapy, utilizing skills and techniques from a variety of modalities. Outside of work, I enjoy testing out new recipes, spoiling my dogs Sweetie & Honey, drinking iced chai, & planning my next trip with my wife.

I love seeing clients who feel stuck in their relationship patterns or personal struggles and are ready to make a change. I see both couples & individuals with a variety of mental health concerns, and work with them to uncover and address the barriers that are holding them back.

Do you identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or have non-traditional relationship dynamics? Do you feel disconnected from your partner(s) or self? We can navigate the barriers which prevent you from having the connections you desire with others and yourself. Do you respond in ways that you just don't understand and feel out of your control at times? Let's work together to understand and change patterns which no longer serve you. Are you unsure of the path you are on and want to embark on a journey that matches with your authentic self, but first need to figure out what that means to you? I can help guide you in self exploration.

I understand how being non-judgemental and supportive can assist the client in having a safe space for them to explore their emotions. I understand how difficult it can be to seek out help and believe no matter the case, all clients are brave. I believe that not only do my clients learn from me, I also learn from them. At the end of the day, I believe that my clients are the drivers and I am the navigator, I am here to help them get to their destination at their pace. I mainly work with Personality disorders, trauma, self-harm, suicidality, mood disorders, self-direction, and behavior disorders.
