Substance Use Therapists in Duluth, MN

Many come to therapy knowing only that they are struggling to get things done, their relationships have become a source of stress rather than comfort, or they need help processing trauma, loss, or other painful experiences impacting their daily lives. Whatever your circumstances, I strive to help each person or family I work with achieve greater emotional, psychological, and social well-being, while also alleviating symptoms. I use the power of storytelling and understand that each person I work with has many, important stories to tell. I also value and work with each person's nervous system in the healing process.

I am a clinical psychologist and proprietor of Minnesota Psychological Services, LLC. I consider myself a generalist clinician, meaning I can assess and treat most psychological and mental health concerns. I have extensive training and experience working with individuals in various stages of substance use recovery: individual therapy as a primary means to address problematic substance use and/or developing new strategies for coping with strong emotions and other behavioral concerns without substance use. I offer a genuine dual-diagnosis approach that most addiction treatments do not provide.

My preference is to work with the adult population. I work well with trauma recovery for both victims and offenders. I am well versed in working with addictions issues. I believe that each individual has the resources they need to cope with the issues of their life and be the person they would like to be, stored within them. At times it is difficult to assess these resources when needed or desired. Come learn how to access your inner resources.

My name is Natalie Ryan, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LISCW). I continue to be amazed by the strength and resilience individuals show when they come to therapy. Many individuals I meet are going through the hardest transitions of their lives and I am honored to be a part of their journey. I believe everyone deserves a safe space to explore their thoughts, feelings, frustrations, and curiosities. I tell everyone when we first meet that I have no hidden agenda; together we will develop a treatment plan that is right for you and assess this regularly to ensure your needs are met.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this page. I hope what you find here feels right for you. Everyone has basic human needs such as being heard and understood, affirmed, included, loved, and safe. These are met through healthy relationships with the world around us and form the foundation of our personal health and well-being. In meeting our needs, our behavior is purposeful, and no one sets out to fail. Therapy is a process of discovery, or re-discovery, of how to be our best selves and achieve a more satisfying, fulfilling, and enriched life.

When we work together, you can expect a safe place where you will be heard and validated, a place where you are comfortable exploring your strengths, building resilience, becoming empowered, and finding balance.

"Tomorrow, you promise yourself, will be different, yet, tomorrow is too often a repetition of today." James T. Mccay. Research has repeatedly shown that the single largest factor impacting treatment outcomes is not a provider's treatment methodology or theoretical orientation, but rather the quality of a client's relationship with their individual provider. Consequently I work with each client to design a carefully researched yet highly customized program that fits their unique needs. I am able to form a realistic plan for improving their life situation that brings about improvement in their symptoms quickly.

I provide confidential, professional therapy for a variety of issues and concerns. From resolving depression or anxiety to healing past trauma, improving relationships to ending addiction; therapy with me is about no longer managing or coping, but instead getting to the source of your issues and discovering what helps you heal. Whether this is your first time considering therapy or you're feeling ready to return, I help people from all walks of life find solutions and feel better.

Mental health impacts every individual differently, from day to day stressors to complex trauma. Clients who may be struggling with mental health to any degree may desire additional skills and coping strategies to live their life more effectively, create better interpersonal skills, and strive toward a healthier version of themselves.
