Family Therapy in Maple Grove, MN

My work at Innovative Psychological Consultants has taught me that life is full of twists and turns. Sometimes no amount of training can prepare you for what comes. When you find yourself overwhelmed and confused, it can be useful to talk things through with a neutral person who can help organize your thoughts, explore your feelings, and work collaboratively to create solutions and next steps.

Hello! I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in the states of Minnesota and North Dakota, and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in the state of Utah with over 10 years professional work experience. I am also a licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC) in the state of Minnesota. My counseling style is guided by you, your goals, and the changes that you want to see in your life. We will work together to help you understand and unpack deeper roots of the challenges you are having, to process them, and live a life you have been wanting.

It takes courage to be seen during a time of difficulty and to seek out support in therapy. I strive to provide a safe, loving, non-judgmental environment in which growth can occur. Through therapy clients learn appropriate coping skills, learn new approaches for addressing their challenges, and learn how to communicate their thoughts and feelings. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities from play and art to help young children communicate what they may struggle to do verbally, to cognitive behavioral, solution focused, and narrative therapy for older clients.

Hey lovely humans, I'm Kat (they/them). I'm a Twin Cities based Queer and gender expansive provider. I am a white-bohemian, able bodied provider. I am a sex, kink, bdsm and body positive provider. I own that my lens as a white, able bodied individual impacts how I take up space in the world and the therapy setting. I obtained my Master's of Science in Clinical Social Work from the joint program of University of St. Thomas and St. Catherine University in 2018.

Working at Innovative Psychological Consultants, I believe finding relief and the tools to cope and manage all of life's stressors is what alleviates symptoms, restores balance, and makes people successful. Many things in our lives can impact our functioning, therefore, I use an eclectic approach to therapy, finding the right tools for each individual. I also believe that humor and the ability to enjoy life, even when there are struggles is an important part of ones spirit and the therapeutic journey.

If you are reading this, then some part of you is ready. Perhaps ready to move on, to understand more or to do things differently. Our problems, when given our attention, often become gateways for needed change. Trust yourself and start talking. Therapy is something you do when you care about yourself and your life. Although current evidence-based treatments are the foundation of my work I value a mind-body connection and offer a holistic and integrative approach to therapy.

Are you enjoying your life? Or merely enduring it? I know that doing a simple search for a therapist may seem like a small thing, but it's the first step that is going to lead to major improvements in your life. I'm here to help you with the next steps. Odds are you found me because something just isn't going right. Or maybe a lot of things aren't going right. Issues like anxiety, depression, and interpersonal problems can make the struggles of daily life seem nearly unbearable. It can seem like even the sunny days are obscured by a cloud that dulls any sense of contentment. I hear you. The good news is, I can help.

I am driven to help individuals navigate challenges and changes through the lifespan. My approach is holistic and compassionate. I want to encourage power, restoration, and growth to each individual. I enjoy working with adults encountering various life stressors, mental health challenges, and seeking positive change in their lives.

I believe in incorporating a positive psychological and holistic approach to the individuals I serve. By incorporating an overall wellness and "whole mind/body" approach with individuals, I believe each person can get the best out of themselves through mental health therapy. I utilize evidenced based clinical counseling techniques such as ACT, Mindfulness, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and a variety of sport counseling/psychology modalities into practice. Lastly, I take an individual approach to every person I treat, knowing that every person is different and deserves authentic, genuine, and exceptional mental health care.

Hi, I'm Kim. :) My therapeutic approach centers around individuality and celebrating differences. People are complex beings and therapy is not "one size fits all." Open communication is important to me, so let's work together to figure out what is the most beneficial for you. Change is an exhausting journey and growth is never easy, but my goal is to create a safe space where your successes are celebrated and setbacks are met with compassion.

I specialize in counseling individuals, adults, children above 8, and adolescents, navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, and chronic illness grief. My approach is person-centered, and culturally sensitive, enhancing therapy for diverse backgrounds. Fluent in English and Arabic, I foster a space of acceptance and growth. Inspired by continuous learning, I am dedicated to empowering clients toward resilience and personal fulfillment.

I am here to help. My experience has been working with adolescents and adults who are having a difficult time managing symptoms of mental health or adjusting to life's stressors which can feel overwhelming. I have experience working with people who have experienced invalidation and childhood emotional neglect which have resulted in Complex Trauma. I enjoy working with young adults on life transitions as well as I remember how difficult that time in life can be. I offer a nonjudgmental perspective and a helping voice with a willingness to support.

Clients can expect a therapist who is down to earth and brings authentic self to session. Someone who is curious, straight forward yet gentle, honest, genuine and has a great sense of humor. An ideal client is an individual who sees vulnerability as courage, finds value in openness, transparency and humor. They have the desire to gain insight about what’s working and what isn’t working. They have interest in investing in themselves and genuinely building a life worth living.

My primary goal with therapy is to assist clients on their journey towards an increased sense of self awareness, understanding, and acceptance. I am passionate about working with adults of all ages, couples, and families. I also have experience working with co-occurring (mental health and substance abuse) disorders.

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'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! You will learn holistic tools that supersede talk therapy to embody feeling whole and alive. I will empower you to shift your neurobiology throughout each day, allowing you gain the capacity to neutralize the painful life experiences your body has been storing. I specialize with neurophysiological healing from all forms of overwhelming life circumstances including prolonged trauma and dissociation.

Everyone is the hero or heroine of their own story, but sometimes life happens, and those stories can get off track or turned around. Ben is passionate about helping people get their stories back on track. Therapy begins with a supportive and accepting place to tell those stories. Ben’s therapy style is warm and accepting, with clients as the experts on who they are, where they are in life, and where they want to go. Through creative and collaborative efforts that start from clients’ strengths and goals for themselves, change can come at personal and interpersonal levels.
