Therapists in Champlin, MN

Hello and welcome to the beginning of your healing journey! In addition, I am dually licensed in MN and WI and an approved supervisor for LMFT and LPCC. My name is Neko and I joined this field because I believe that life is a journey where invitations to heal, grow and prosper are constantly received.

Using conversation, empathy, and creative outlets to get through struggles. I work with clients improve relationships, manage life changes and increase coping skills. Therapy should bring relief, clarity, insight, and support. I work with indivIduals experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders and diabetes.

I enjoy working with adults, children (ages 10+), pre-teens, teens and their families. I have extensive experience addressing symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem/ self-concept, social/ emotional difficulties, co-occurring mental health diagnoses, grief and loss, parenting, emotional difficulties related to family of origin, and issues related to adoption and kinship care for all members of adoptive and kinship families, particularly attachment related difficulties.

I am here to listen and connect to all people. As a queer, Native American divorced mom, I can empathize and help all walks of life. Maybe you're struggling with your identity, relationship issues, understanding your goals, needs or wants or other things making you feel stuck. I have experience working with children, adolescents, couples, and older adults. I am currently supervised by Kari Lyn Stevens Wampler, LMFT.

I provide diagnosis assessment, therapy and intervention services if needed to adults and families.

I connect with a collaborative therapeutic environment where we offer space and safety for the co-explore your world, relationships, strengths, and difficulties. As we co-create our lives and offer encouragement and strength, we gain our skills and abilities to heal ourselves and others.

Overwhelmed? Feeling distressed with worry, fear, sadness, despair, or a combination of difficult feelings? Relationship challenges? Parenting challenges? Terry is a family therapist who believes most people can manage their own lives, except for those few times when life throws a curveball, then we may have difficulty figuring how to handle that ball. We often find ourselves going in circles using old techniques. My desire and privilege is to come alongside you in your journey forward.

My main interest is working with teens and adult females to help them feel empowered in their daily lives. My experience is working clients who grew up with alcoholism/addiction in their family of origin, those who struggle with depression and anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, infertility, grief, posttraumatic stress disorder, self harm and eating disorders.

We often find ourselves feeling lost or not connected to who we strive to be. We feel voiceless and dismissed as though no one cares to listen to our pain. I want to build a safe and consistent relationship with you to find a renewed sense of self. In this space, I want to empower you to embrace your authentic self in the full circle of creation, nurturing, connecting and transforming. As we weave in the principles of mindful living together, I want to help you find the answers that have been inside of you all along as you begin to trust yourself and let go of whatever is holding you back.

Are you or a loved one struggling with substance use, addictive behaviors, or hoarding? Does your environment reflect the chaos you feel inside? Sometimes people get stuck in patterns and behaviors we don't want, and we don't know how or can't move forward in spite of our best efforts. We often berate ourselves for our behaviors or for not being able to help someone we love. You might feel frustrated, defeated, scared or stuck. Maybe you don’t even know where to begin.

I offer compassionate and individualized care that is tailored to your values and needs to help you meet your mental health goals. Whether you want to process a difficult experience and manage the impact of trauma on your life, learn how to cope with tough emotions, or make a meaningful career transition, we’ll work together to identify your strengths and find opportunities for growth to create lasting change in your life. At Fish Psychotherapy & Consulting, I aim to strike a balance between providing evidence-based therapies and culturally-based practices that I have special training in.

Have you always felt different from everyone else, or even proudly identified as a "weirdo?" Are you burnt out and exhausted? Have therapy and medications been ineffective for you in the past? Is the search for a therapist or assessor that truly -gets- you more overwhelming than you could have ever imagined? You're in the right place. My clients are often on journeys to learn more about themselves, on a quest to feel better and enhance their quality of life. Nothing makes me happier than being immersed in a client's world. I want to know everything about what you love and care about.

I believe it takes courage to begin the process of change. With that spirit, I try to embody the African Proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” I believe we can all heal, change and grow, particularly when we have support and love in the process. I feel deeply honored to walk arm in arm in therapy with the clients I see. In both my therapeutic work and personally, I value humor, compassion, and sincerity. The therapist you choose is someone whom you’ve entrusted to build a safe and healing relationship.

Immediate availability for afternoons and evenings, both virtually and in-person!

It's our reality that human beings struggle at times along the road of life. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and families get over and through these life obstacles. I have been honored and amazed to witness people conquer fears, addictions and harmful experiences that have left them tired and gasping on that road, and once again pick themselves up and journey onwards.

I believe all clients hold the key to their own success and can be guided to that end in a safe, trusting, honest environment. Building relationship and skills for growth, understanding and healing are among my goals in therapy. My personal journey through adoption, trauma, abuse, raising a child with mental health concerns, spiritual enlightenment, natural mental health, divorce, and remarriage have become the gifts I share though therapy. I believe the keys essential to reaching any goal lies within each of us believing in ourselves and knowing that someone also believes in us.

Where do you you heal? Is it always talk? I have worked with children/families/ individuals most of my career and have had to think of different ways to process feelings. For young children it's play, for older children doing art or games. For adults it may be changing one’s perspective. Brain science confirms that these methods are effective for emotional regulation. The most successful factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. I honor that. I partner with you on this journey. Some clients bring two session issues,others bring trauma that may need neuropsychological approaches.
