In Person Therapists in Lino Lakes, MN

Is life overwhelming right now? Are you looking for support in overcoming a difficult life situation, managing low self-esteem, or navigating the challenging terrain of anxiety? Therapy can help. I enjoy working with people who are at their wits end and ready for change- ready to embark on a journey towards healing and personal growth. You may have experienced traumatic events that continues to affect your daily life, maybe you are burdened by self-doubt and low self-esteem, or find yourself trapped in a cycle of anxiety. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to reclaim your life.

I focus on meeting clients where they are at, offering a safe and supported space to express the past and present challenges that can disrupt and occupy areas of their lives. I also highlight accountability and appropriately challenging clients to apply the things processed and discovered in therapy into their daily lives. I work with clients using a strength based, client-centered, and collaborative approach. I also assist individuals in creating and maintaining lifelong skills to better manage challenges and current symptoms.

Life can be hard - you don’t have to struggle alone! The decision to be open to begin therapy is a major step forward. If you're experiencing low self-confidence, doubt, grief, anxiety, shame, or stress, there is a path to help you create a more fulfilling life in the present. I provide a safe nonjudgmental space where you can feel supported, and empowered as you go on this journey.

My style of therapy is geared towards helping individuals discover their own inner strength and direction. I have worked with a wide variety of individuals and goals will be individualized based on their own needs. Every individual has a different perspective and I encourage these differences throughout the therapeutic process. Childhood experiences play a major role in development, even as an adult, and can frame the way we view the world. The client is meant to play an active role in their therapy and my relationships with every individual will be built on trust, authenticity and transparency.

I have been working in mental health for the past ten years and specialize in work with adults and adolescents that have experienced significant trauma, anxiety, depression, family issues, grief and loss, marital issues and suicidal ideation. I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I also use mindfulness, deep breathing, and art therapy techniques throughout my practice and try to tailor my therapy approach to meet the individual where they are at and what they find most helpful.

The headlines read : These are the worst of times (Styx,1981). At times our situations can be overwhelming and truly feel like the worst of times. Life can be painful and difficult and sometimes feels out of control. I help clients deal with a variety of “worst of times” including marital conflict, medical crisis or chronic illness, parenting issues, a difficult child/teen, anger, depression/anxiety, etc. I will help you to solve these and other issues, and work together to make lasting changes.

Does anxiety, depression or moodiness interfere with your experience of joy? Are your beliefs about the world, people and yourself getting in the way of leading a more satisfying life? These are some of the questions I have helped clients work on in my twenty five plus years as a psychologist. I want to help you learn skills to better manage these issues and other important aspects of your life. Here are some of the techniques I offer in therapy: cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) modified for individuals, family systems theory, solution-focused therapy and spirituality.

I have over 30 years working in mental health and addiction. I work with individuals, couples, families, adolescents dealing with addiction, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, communication, boundaries, parenting, crisis intervention, trauma, relationship issues, women's issues, LGBLTQ+, work life issues and life transitions. I am strength based in my approach and strive to assist people to empower themselves and to have the courage to change the things they can. I have completed the three year intensive training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) qualifying me as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

I'm passionate to partner with you to receive mind/body/spirit healing that lasts, regardless of the amount of trauma or overwhelm you have experienced!

I am a Licensed Psychologist and hold a masters and doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of St. Thomas. My experience is diverse and includes psychotherapy and psychological assessment with adults, adolescents and couples.

I believe that everyone has inherent strengths that can be illuminated through therapy. My approach is centered on exploring your authenticity, providing space where you can share thoughts and feelings without fear or criticism, and strengthening your understanding of yourself in connection to your community. I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals, looking at cultural/systemic barriers when discussing factors of stress. Folks who tend to find their way into my office are looking to address concerns around their identity, anxiety, depression, life transitions, or a wide spectrum of traumatic experiences.

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.

Welcome to the first step in seeking therapy. It can be a difficult decision, though it can be incredibly healing and I will provide a space for you to be heard and understood. Stress, anxiousness, feeling low or distracted can impact our lives in ways we don't want them to, and seeking therapy can help. My areas of interest include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self esteem, complex trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress & chronic pain. I also have a special interest in working with highly gifted & talented adolescents and adults and the unique issues they may face with their development and mental health.

Clients I work with are often not very willing to open up about themselves and are at times uninterested in therapy. Some would like to change but do not want to have to talk with someone to accomplish change, others have tried before and never been able to form a good relationship with a therapist. My clients often have a high resting level of anger and likely have had issues in life with anger or are described as difficult by others.

We are all trying to live a life that has meaning and worth. When our best efforts don't work, we may become "stuck". This is where a counselor can help you interpret and re-frame the issues to chart a path to help get "UNstuck". My goal in therapy is to create a safe place to talk about the issues and work towards a solution. Maya Angelou says it best: "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution."

Has pain, anxiety, or depression been in the driver’s seat of your life? You want to take part in activities, but that feels close to impossible, or maybe your desire to do anything has faded altogether. Even what seems like small tasks feel overwhelming and if you complete them, afterwards you then have to rest for days. You might be irritated easily and often, and maybe people you care about are experiencing the consequences. You have likely attended countless medical appointments and attempted various treatments. I would like to try to help you increase your quality of life.
