Psychodynamic Therapists in Delano, MN

Hello! I have experience and enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan. I believe in the inherent value, purpose, and dignity of each person and that through therapy, individuals can develop or re-establish this believe about themselves. I am here to actively and non-judgmentally listen to your story and work collaboratively to build upon your internal strengths and reaching your goals. I desire to create a space that is safe and supportive where you feel comfortable expressing yourself, your concerns, and aspirations.

I believe that people need a therapist who has the ability to understand their experience. Once a person has the experience of being understood, a foundation is established to work through more vulnerable and difficult material. It is this proces of establishing a safe and understanding experience and working through of material that allows the possibility of change and the realization of one's true self and potentials.

Therapy is a relational dynamic process. I create a nurturing, compassionate safe space to honor your process of change. My integrative holistic approach means that I combine attachment theory, neuroscience and psychodynamic theory with the wisdom and insights from mindfulness-based practices, creative expression, and nature. Working with me, you will gain insight into your emotional world, understand how you work, learn what gives you comfort and contentment during difficult times, develop new coping skills to help during times of anxiety/depression, and make changes in your life so you can live more fully. fedorowicz-therapy.com

If you're reading this page, you are likely experiencing some emotional distress and/or dissatisfaction that you would like support to understand and resolve. Perhaps you can identify causes and perhaps it just feels confusing. Meeting with someone to gain understanding around where these experiences originate, as well as tools to address them, is a great (and brave) step. I would love to chat to see if we may be a good fit in that important work.

I aim to offer a safe and supportive space where folks can explore who they are and who they want to be. I specialize in men's issues, anxiety, substance use, cancer diagnoses, and depression. Drawing from psychodynamic theory and a feminist perspective, I guide clients through a journey of self-discovery and healing. Together, we will delve into the root causes of your struggles, fostering deep understanding and building self-awareness. Through this process, you will gain the tools and insights needed to make lasting positive changes in your life.

If you’re ready to improve your life, then I am the one to lead you there. Having years of experience as both a client and a clinician, I am very familiar with the process of change and I am well equipped to make it happen. I've helped guide people through issues of simple depression all the way to complex PTSD. I have extensive experience dealing with criminality, all forms of abuse, addiction, and most mental disorders. My blend of psychodynamic education and life experience have suited me well in this field.

I work with adults, children, and couples motivated to use therapy as an opportunity for personal growth and who are willing to work actively to achieve increased self-awareness and an improved quality of life.

Bringing Together Art and Science reflects my clinical practice with adults, adolescents and couples. It is grounded in attachment theory, developmental/complex trauma, cognitive behavioral theory, psychodynamic theory and cultural competency. My practice also integrates emerging neuroscience research about the brain and how childhood and family experiences, including trauma, affects the brain and becomes the blueprint for subsequent relationships throughout our lives. My practice also has a human and artistic element - everyone is unique and our work together reflects this.

I am originally from Peru but I have lived in MN since 2004. Spanish is my native language. I also speak English fluently. I identify as a cis, straight, immigrant, Latina or Latinx woman & social worker. My work focuses on offering empathy, support, promoting insight, and working collaboratively to achieve goals. I strive to understand people's experiences within their own unique context and take into account larger community and social issues, and how they impact our experience.

My style has been described as warm, relatable, encouraging, and witty. Using a holistic approach that takes the body, mind and spirit into account, I help you look deeper to understand the patterns, thoughts, and beliefs that shape your behavior. As a former teacher, I also enjoy learning and sharing knowledge about psychological concepts with clients.

I specialize in working with individuals 18+ who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, life goals, identity, relationships, or professional challenges. I also enjoy working with corporate workers, leaders, business owners, or people in other work dynamics who face various challenges in their daily roles and overreaching professional goals.

Life's journey can come with many complexities, and sometimes those complications impede our lives, impacting thoughts, emotions, behaviors, daily functioning, and living. Be it unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, a need for boundaries, or relational issues, I would like to assist you on your journey. Your desire for healthier mental, emotional, and social functioning is essential and helps to improve your quality of life. Your wellspring (heart/mind) can be bountiful, unpolluted, and thriving.

I am a curious and passionate trauma practitioner and believe that, first and foremost, the building of strong, collaborative and reverent relationships is central to any healing and transformational work. I work to honor and welcome all parts of individuals, families and groups in order to understand stories of adaptation, survival, coping and thriving. As a body- and nervous system-informed practitioner, my approach integrates various modalities and frameworks. My specializations are in working with the complex manifestations of traumatic stress, attachment trauma, intergenerational trauma, and dissociation.

Even in strong relationships, communication is complicated - "How did we get here - again?" Often, having an educated observer - a calm presence in the room - creates a safe space for sorting out issues and listening. During therapy, we may discover your relationship's unique boundaries, expectations, and communication styles. I draw from a broad social perspective and an understanding grounded in attachment and relational psychodynamic theories. If you are looking for couples therapy or individual therapy you will hopefully find our work together life changing. www.comfortbelbastherapy.com
