Behavioral Issues Therapists in Faribault, MN

My passion for helping those experiencing barriers due to mental health started over 20 years ago, working in group residential housing, mental health case management, and rehabilitative services. That passion continues today, where I specialize in trauma-informed care, partnering with clients to deliver services that not only help them heal, but in a manner that meets people where they are on their recovery journey.

My name is Megan (Meg) Schmitt and I am currently enrolled in the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of St. Thomas. I have worked in the mental health field since 2019 where I gained experience working with mental health diagnoses such as autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. I enjoy providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and families. I am especially interested in working with children and adolescents who struggle with behavioral problems, have experienced trauma, and/or have difficulty navigating big emotions.

Aurora recognizes the important roles that relationships, experiences, and beliefs play in our daily lives. Our family and childhood influence our personal development; however, they are not the only determinants of who we become. We are not static beings but live in a state of constant flux, continuing to grow and having the capacity to choose change. Sometimes, changes may feel unwanted, scary or overwhelming. We may struggle in adjusting to them, or feel stuck in old patterns of responding that no longer work for us. Aurora adopts a client-centered approach and values all aspects of a person's physical, mental, and social world.

We believe emotional wellness matters (a lot), and that everyone has the right to make it a priority. Unfortunately, it’s not always that simple. So many questions can get in the way. Maybe you’ve even asked them yourself: Is this normal? Can talking to someone really help me? What is therapy all about, anyway? What would people say if they knew I was going? How do I find the right therapist? Will I be comfortable there? When will I find the time? Will my insurance pay for this? If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. And we can help.

Nosce te Ipsum” — “Know Thy Self” (Latin) Specializing in solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness-based strategies, I offer a comfortable environment where my clients develop the tools required to increase their understanding of how beliefs, perceptions, and behaviors shape identity. Therapy, above all else, is an investment in self-knowledge. Who better to understand than the person you are with 24/7? The more you comprehend, the more confident you feel, and the better equipped you are to navigate life’s uncertainties.

We will work together to find solutions to help your family work through obstacles and barriers faced on a day to day basis.
