Somatic Therapists in Lino Lakes, MN

I believe for clients to have the most beneficial therapeutic experience, there must be a strong relationship between client and counselor. Because of this, I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is comfortable, non-judgmental, and empathetic. I collaborate with clients to identify their strengths and resources, as well as the obstacles that can get in the way of change. I work together with clients to identify, learn and practice the tools necessary for change to occur.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been working in the field of psychology for 20+ years. I enjoy providing therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I utilize Experiential Play Therapy to help children recover from trauma and abuse as well as for children experiencing life stressors such as divorce and difficulties at school. I also practice Filial Therapy to strengthen parent-child relationships and reduce difficult behavior such as tantrums and defiance. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing to address symptoms of trauma such as flashbacks, avoidance, anxiety, depression, self-harm, etc.

I'm currently full- but my Mindful Way colleagues may still have openings. Making the step to come to therapy is a hard one. I feel honored to provide a warm, safe, and compassionate space for you to share your story and truly be heard. I believe you are the expert on your relationships, health, emotions, and body. I work with Adults and children (ages 2-7). I welcome folks of all backgrounds (ethnicity, race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation) and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, culturally responsive environment that supports your healing journey.

I am passionate about working people to help them feel better about themselves, their relationships, and their life! We all struggle sometimes, and choosing therapy is a brave choice. I am always honored to be part of someone’s journey. Together we will work to address the root of any pain or anxiety you are feeling. We will explore where your issues come from, honor your past, while learning new ways to make peace with your present. I will help you learn new ways to cope with your emotions while working to address the deep stuff that is making life feel so hard sometimes.

Are you seeking individual (teen and adult), couple/partnership, or family therapy? With warmth, humor and “real talk,” I will support you in navigating personal and inter-personal challenges, and creating an authentic life that's in integrity with your values. My approach with clients is informal and collaborative - you are the expert on your life! So, let's work together to create the life you want. FYI: I currently only have new client availability with a clinic that accepts private pay, FSA/HSA cards, or out-of-network insurance coverage. I cannot accept traditional insurance.

I believe trust and safety are the 2 most important things in therapy. I strive to create this with a warm and non-judgmental presence, humor when appropriate, and listening to truly understand you. To help you make the changes you want in your life, I use a compassionate yet direct approach, helping you to challenge your thought processes and behaviors. I specialize in trauma and addictions, though work with a variety of other issues you may struggle with like having a new baby, relationship and trust issues, divorce, anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, impulsivity or concentration issues.

At Catalyst Insight Collective, we’re committed to providing you and your loved ones with exceptional care in a compassionate and friendly atmosphere. We use an integrative approach to help individuals connect with their innate healing wisdom so they can unearth the healing element within themselves. We collaborate with the folks we work with to create a treatment plan that feels aligned with their own needs and want. In addition to psychotherapy, we offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and psychedelic integration services.

Let's Do This Together! Rachel (she/her) connects with clients from a place of acceptance using humor and warmth to make the therapeutic process collaborative and comfortable.

She views the therapeutic process as a way to come alongside clients in an effort to improve their satisfaction with life and relationships. Rachel specializes in trauma, perinatal mental health, adolescents, child anxiety.

I currently offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic integration services. I focus on treating chemical addictions, anxiety disorders, and depressive disorders. I believe that developing a safe and secure relationship with each of my patients is essential for them to learn new ways of thinking and behaving, to find meaning and purpose in their life, and to move towards creating a whole and complete sense of self. My approach to healing is informed by acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, transpersonal psychology, person-centered therapy, & somatic approaches to healing.
