Female Therapists in University District, Minneapolis, MN

Our brains and bodies are constantly adapting in life – these adaptations can feel overwhelming. I will greet you with compassion and curiosity so we can process and explore what you walk into my office with. My work is centered around adults, ages 18 and up, coming in with a variety of concerns. I use neuroscience-informed, relational, person-centered, and trauma-focused approaches.

Hello, I'm so glad you’re here! I believe that strong, affirming relationships are at the core of our mental well-being and my goal is to support and guide the client as they navigate their relationships, challenges, and whatever life throws their way. I identify as 1.5 gen Asian American and tend to approach therapy through a systemic lens. Together, my hope is to support clients in exploring their values and strengths and working towards becoming their more authentic selves.

We aim to empower individuals and create opportunities for wholeness through anti-oppressive holistic practices. Our inclusive approach extends to ALL individuals with a targeted focus on providing support and services to those who identify as part of any of the following communities: BIPOC, QTBIPOC, LGBTQIA+2S, Adoptee, and First/Second Gen Immigrants.

Are you at a point in life where you're feeling disconnected from yourself and in your closest relationships? Whether you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed, a professional experiencing burnout, or a partner feeling disconnected... you find yourself feeling stuck, repeating the same patterns of codependence, fighting or people pleasing. If this sounds like you or your relationship, it's time to make a change. I work with individuals & couples, just like you, struggling to manage their roles, expectations, and unhealed traumatic experiences. Their relationships are suffering & they feel disconnected from what used to feel good.

I am a passionate advocate for the mental health and well-being of Latine immigrants, children of Latine immigrants, and neurodivergent populations. Whether navigating acculturation challenges, managing/exploring neurodivergent traits, or addressing intergenerational trauma, I aim to provide holistic and strengths-based interventions to support my clients.

Currently accepting new clients! I specialize in working with college students and young adults (18-30). I view this age as an optimal window to be working on ourselves, growing, and addressing patterns that may no longer serve us. In addition, I enjoy working with folks of other ages, and couples of any presentation (LGBTQ+, married, dating, engaged, separating). If you're struggling with life transitions, trauma, stress, overwhelm, exploring family of origin concerns, relationship concerns, or gender/sexuality presentation, I may be the right therapist for you!

I love working with individuals who are going through life transitions and enjoy being an anchor that people can hold onto when the waves of change pull a little harder. Whether you are making meaningful career decisions or navigating unfamiliar systems as you enter new cultural experiences, I would love to assist in the process and support you as you find your way.

My clinical interests include depression, anxiety, ADHD, adjustment problems, OCD, trauma, attachment, and parenting concerns to name a few. I work with ages three and up and particularly enjoy helping families and parents learn and practice healthier communication styles and conflict resolution. I am passionate about providing evidence-based (proven effective by research) treatments while meeting clients where they are at and helping them get to where they would like to be in life. I bring humor and warmth to sessions with a direct, active, and collaborative style. I emphasize validation and create a non-judgmental atmosphere.

I currently have a waitlist. I value authenticity and candor in my work with clients, and enjoy "real talk." My typical client would say they’re a high achiever, “successful” on paper, and struggle with symptoms of anxiety, perfectionism, depression, low self esteem, or challenges with relationships and boundaries. I work with individuals who have a history of relational trauma or injury, grief and loss, or are navigating life transitions or changes. I work with couples who are dealing with distress within their relationships, difficulty communicating, or are looking to deepen their emotional bond.

I believe that building an authentic relationship with each client is one of the first steps in moving towards peace, hope, and healing. As we seek to understand ourselves and the patterns of distress, conflict, or confusion we fall into, taking space to explore our strengths and connections is an important step in building a foundation for how we want to move through our world. I value creating a non-judgmental space for each individual, couple, or family to identify their goals and work together to reflect and acquire the necessary tools to begin to feel whole.

Transitions in life are often difficult to manage, yet they happen in all sorts of ways. Whether you’re navigating changes in a relationship, looking to change a habit, experiencing different living environments, wanting to get to know new parts of your identity, or more…change can involve a lot of uncertainty and stress, but you don’t have to do it alone. My purpose here is to help you work through all sorts of life changes by reflecting on how you’ve gotten to where you are now while also exploring ways to get you where you’re hoping to go.

You’re wondering how or if you’re ever going to make it as an adult. You feel like you’re failing because you are so scared, sad, unmotivated, unfocused, and isolated. A part of you wants to figure things out and a part of you wants to escape everything. You might be asking yourself, will I ever: find lasting love or friendship, achieve enough in school, land a job that makes me happy, start a family, be a good enough parent, and figure out how to balance it all? I help Millennials and Gen Zs to overcome self-doubt, uncertainty, and helplessness to build the life they want.

I have a few immediate openings for new clients. I am passionate about assisting and empowering people to achieve a healthy, balanced, and peaceful life. I place great importance on cultivating a collaborative relationship with each of my patients. My goal is to help them explore and recognize their needs while supporting them in the process of self-discovery and restoration. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment for patients to explore their concerns and gain insight into healing and overcoming underlying issues.

I have availability as early as next week for couple therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy. I specialize in nurturing stronger bonds within families and relationships, particularly with teens, couples, and families. My approach is warm and collaborative, providing a supportive environment where adolescents can navigate the challenges of growing up, couples can deepen their connection, and families can rediscover harmony. Whether it's enhancing communication skills, resolving conflicts, or fostering individual growth, I am committed to helping you build meaningful relationships and a more fulfilling life together.

Hi! I'm Morgan. Is your teen struggling with anxiety, depression, confidence, body image, or self-esteem? Unsure how to talk to them about these changes, or feel like you're stuck? Let me help! Are you an adult that is struggling with just how complicated life is, feeling burnt out of everything and everyone? I will help you find that inner peace and self love again. We can work on complex issues such as stress, trauma, divorce, substance use, toxic relationships, self worth, and life purpose- together. I also provide chemical dependency assessments for those involved in court matters such as family court, DWI, DUI, or OWI.

Gao is a bilingual (English/Hmong) psychotherapist serving individuals suffering from trauma, SPMI, chemical dependency, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Her professional experiences include 10+ years working with individuals in their home, consultation, inpatient care, crisis, and clinic/outpatient settings. She distills knowledge in county court systems via CPS and Civil Commitments: MI/CD/DD and Guardianship. She has seen the significance therapy has in providing individuals and families the opportunity to heal as self-identity blooms. Her commitment is to support you to become a better you.

I work with teens and adult individuals who are processing trauma, exploring their personal identity, and building self-esteem. I love helping clients who are collaborative, who seek a curious conversation in which to explore relationships—with themselves, with others, and with ideas. My primary role in the therapeutic relationship is that of co-author rather than teacher, and I enjoy working with folks who are interested in finding their own approaches to problems with support from their communities, which may not look "cookie cutter."

You are likely seeking therapy because of distress and confusion around difficult emotional experiences that you are struggling to understand and resolve. This distress and confusion can result in anxiety, relationship issues and depression. Through our work together, we can help resolve these struggles by building an understanding of where they come from and how to respond to them.

Relationships have the potential to be great sources of meaning and connection, and yet, sometimes they can be confusing and stressful. I work to support couples and individuals who are caught in cycles of high conflict in their relationships. Together we can name, process, and explore things that may keep you feeling stuck, like systemic barriers, abuse, traumatic experiences, relationship patterns, and self-limiting beliefs. I strive to provide a respectful space for curiosity and expression to help clients strengthen bonds and gain clarity around their relationship norms and expectations.
