Therapists in Minnesota

Life is a complex journey and we are not meant to experience it alone. We all have a unique story that deserves to be witnessed and explored in a safe space, like therapy. If you have life stressors that are getting in the way and affecting how you communicate and interact with others, therapy is for you. If you need a space to share what happened in your childhood and gain resources to move forward in life, therapy is for you. Wherever you are on your journey, we can work together to identify your needs and areas of support. I take an eclectic approach to treatment using evidence-based practices that best suit my client's needs.

It is an honor and a privilege to walk with clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life. Anna believes that it is important to meet people where they are, and work with clients to create the kind of life they find fulfilling. Clients come to therapy for a variety of reasons, some of which include depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, life transitions and changes, family and relational concerns, substance abuse, grief and loss, body image issues, need for coping strategies to manage stress, and many other reasons. Therapy can be a safe space to explore concerns, to grow, and to heal.

I partner with clients to nurture healing, growth, and resiliency. In every instance, I will take time to ascertain how to evoke my clients’ strengths, helping them effectively mobilize their own capabilities. In this way, every person I work with ends up with practiced skill sets of their own to take with them after therapy has concluded.

I help people improve their ability to cope with life by utilizing behavioral tools that foster personal change and growth. I focus on fostering a positive, non-judgmental environment while building trust. I build positive connections with my clients- sometimes through humor and laughter, other times through empathy and compassion. I tend to be more solution focused while assisting clients on maximizing the use of self. As a person who has worked in health care for several years I am able to assist clients in the utilization of community resource in order to achieve their optimal level of wellness.

I have spent the past six working with children with various mental health concerns. I generally utilize a CBT approach.

Investing in yourself is crucial. Life's busyness often leads to neglecting personal growth. You may have prioritized others to the point of depleting your own reserves. When inevitable issues arise, it can feel overwhelming. However, it doesn't need to be this way. Focusing on self-improvement can actually make you more present for those you care about. Therapy is a commitment to invest time, energy, and resources into bettering your life, moving you out of constant crisis mode. By working together, you'll find that while daily demands remain the same, your ability to handle them improves, reducing life's chaos.

I am finishing my master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at National University. I worked as a CPA for KPMG, and then focused on raising my 6 children, lately as a single parent. I am familiar with managing the Serious and Persistent Mental illnesses of close relatives. I am passionate about helping my clients get to the other side of turbulent events like divorce and other major unexpected life changes. I welcome the exploration of my client’s faith as they tackle seemingly insurmountable obstacles. I am fluent in French, Creole, and English. I also have a decent command of Spanish. ​ ​

There is hope after trauma. MEND Therapy is unique in the twin cities in that we are an in-house, all-inclusive collaboration of trauma-informed body workers and psychotherapists. The research is clear: trauma lives in the body, not just the mind. We utilize the cutting edge, most effective and always research-based methods for treating trauma. Because trauma is not just in your head and talk therapy isn't enough.

Hello! I firmly believe that individuals are always in the process of becoming, continually shaped by their thoughts, emotions, actions, and surroundings. Recognizing that growth can encompass positive transformation as well as profound loss, I use relational, humanistic, and narrative approaches. I am committed to dismantling barriers to authenticity and connection, especially for those navigating or aspiring to live counter-culturally and I work with folks in all relationship configurations. Transitioning to psychotherapy after a long tenure in the arts, I bring an artist's paradigm of thinking and relating to my practice.

MORE THAN JUST LISTENING When you change, the world around you changes. . Are you stuck somewhere in your life? Are you struggling in your relationship with your partner or with your family? Does it seem that you are sad for no reason or are constantly worrying for no reason? Have you had losses and feel stuck in moving on ? Is your mind busy with self critical or negative talk? Wherever you are on your journey, I can meet you and we together can create changes you are looking for.

Hello, I'm Brad Branham. I enjoy working with anyone who is motivated towards instituting change, improving their mood, situation, or life in the goals they choose. As a marriage and family therapist, I love working with couples and families. However, a significant amount of my nearly fourteen years of clinical experience has been working children, adolescents, and teenagers. I also enjoy working with those who are oppositional, anxious, depressed, have experienced trauma, are seeking parenting skills, or are looking for emotional management and coping strategies.

At various points in life we can become frustrated, stuck or confused and uncertain about how to move beyond the frustration or confusion. I welcome adolescents and adults who find themselves in a difficult place in life and are eager to move forward in their lives. I see these as valuable opportunities to engage with clients to make sure I understand their current situation and their desired outcomes, even when the client may be initially unsure themselves. I will provide the direction needed for you to more clearly see those goals & from there we will work together to identify an array of options available for forward movement.

I have a passion for working with clients who struggle with substance use issues. I believe building rapport and using a client-centered approach help clients the most.

Are you and your partner(s) fighting? or drifting apart? Does your mind race and keep you from sleeping, concentrating or enjoying hobbies? Do you feel so "blah" it is hard to manage your daily responsibilities? Maybe you are wandering in the fog of grief and loss, or feel overwhelmed by the demands of a big life transition. Perhaps you are struggling to care for children or aging parents. Or you might be seeking to more fully embrace your LGBTQIA+ identity or find a supportive community. Maybe you are just looking for a fresh perspective as you consider how to create a more satisfying way of life.

We will all encounter challenges that shake the foundation of 'who we are.' Therapy is a space away from the world, a place to reflect on your life, and begin rebuilding yourself to be the person you want to be. You want lasting change and feel with the right support you can not only discover yourself, but your path in life well. Together, we will rediscover your strengths and awaken your motivation to begin 'building the momentum you need, to live the life you want.'

Let me start by saying thank you for being here today. Choosing to seek therapy can be a challenging decision but a courageous one, nonetheless.

Hi, Im Sarah, a Licensed Clinical Social worker providing services in ND and MN. I Graduated with my Master's degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2019. I work with those struggling with anxiety and depression, along with navigating life transitions. I have also grown fond of working with people who are learning to manage symptoms of personality disorders, wether it is for themselves, or if they are finding themselves in interpersonal relationships with others who have a personality disorder.

Trauma, anxiety, and ADHD that are unaddressed will have you feeling shame and guilt that never seems to go away. Feeling exhausted and disconnected from the people around you. Difficulty trusting others. Living in fear. Challenges with starting things and seeing them through to the end. Procrastinating and feeling "stuck". A critical voice in your head that never seems to chill out... To live this way can feel incredibly draining and debilitating. It doesn't have to be this way. There is hope and healing on the other side.

I understand that throughout life we can experience stressors and obstacles that impact our mental health. I use a collaborative and relational approach to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, which can lead to deep insight and a sense of relief.
