Family Therapy in Uptown, Minneapolis, MN

Embarking on the therapeutic journey, whether it's your initial step or a continuation, can be a transformative and empowering process. Choosing the right therapist to share your vulnerabilities with is crucial, and I am here to make that decision feel reassuring and positive. In my practice, therapy is not just a conversation; it's an opportunity for growth, acceptance, healing, and positive change. I foster a judgment-free environment, drawing on a diverse range of therapeutic models to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. Together, we will navigate the challenges you're facing in life, as invitations for personal growth.

Do you question if your wants and needs are reasonable? Have you been told you're "too sensitive"? Are you finding yourself in relationships where you give more than you get? I am committed to empowering women to trust themselves, understand the science behind their "symptoms," and ultimately improve their relationships (whether in one or not). I'll help you develop skills to support connection while reducing self-doubt and worry. You'll walk away from therapy less reliant on others to gauge how you should feel about something and more in tune with your body's internal wisdom.

I offer therapy for a variety of mental health issues and have an extensive background in depth psychology and Jungian therapy. I enjoy working with individuals who are interested in deeply understanding themselves. In contrast to mainstream approaches to therapy, which focus on teaching skills or challenging a person's thinking, I emphasize working to understand the emotional-relational-spiritual roots of my client's psychology. It is at this deeper level that lasting change can occur.

We each have unique experiences, challenges, and strengths that shape how we move through the world. Whatever your daily challenges, silent struggles, and unseen battles are, I am committed to walking with you through life's journey. I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to accompany you as you move forward towards becoming your best self. I believe my role as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you to meet your unique goals. I take a systemic, emotionally focused, and attachment-based approach to therapy.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, I’d like to offer you a space where we can think and reflect together, and find a way through the difficulties you're facing. I work with adolescents and adults who are dealing with a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, histories of trauma, relationship issues, work or school stress, and low self-esteem. I also have a particular interest in helping clients explore and understand difficulties related to cultural identity.

Finding the right therapist is an important and courageous step in the process of creating a more fulfilling life. I believe that everyone has their own answers. I will work collaboratively with you and offer you support, feedback and perspective to help you move forward. We will build on your strengths to work toward the personal growth that you are committed to achieving. I work from a developmental perspective, where we will look at what you are experiencing in the context of your life's experiences. I will provide a non-judgmental, safe space for you.

If you are struggling with your sense of self or relationships due to past traumatic events, depression, or anxiety, know that you are not alone. Experiences such as neglect, abuse, and violence can impact the way we view ourselves and the world. If you are looking to build your self-worth, secure relationships, and overall live a more fulfilling life, I may be able to help! I'm also passionate about working with LGBTQ+ clients who are looking to explore and find acceptance in their gender and sexuality. I gladly support transgender clients in transitioning, such as writing letters of support for gender affirming surgeries.

Accepting new relational clients (couples, families, ENM) only at this time-. If the sound of your morning alarm has ever filled you with dread, you've come to the right place. Reaching out to a therapist can be intimidating as hell, I get it. However, I'm a person who knows what it's like to be on both sides of the therapeutic relationship.

I am a psychoanalytically trained therapist who specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma and eating disorders. My work is highly relational and my first focus will be on creating a real and authentic relationship with you. Therapy is a space to learn what connection feels like when you are welcome and encouraged to be your wholest self, to share your fullest range of emotions, and to set aside the defenses or walls that have kept you disconnected in the past. My focus in therapy is not just on alleviating symptoms, but on creating deeper understanding of their root causes.

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! It takes such courage to take that step into vulnerability and begin to work toward change and growth. To explore pain points and be vulnerable with others can be challenging, but so rewarding. My passion is to partner with those I work with to help them heal from trauma, renew their joy for life, find their authentic selves, and reach their goals in health and wellness. My approach is non-judgmental, open-minded, and focused on instilling hope and confidence. I believe in acceptance, embracing small changes, and taking things one day at a time.

I am a pre-licensed professional and completed my Masters of Art's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University. I have a foundation in mindfulness and meditation techniques, and I employ elements of art therapy and Gestalt therapy while utilizing a Transpersonal lens. In my therapy practice, I seek to encourage each individual on their unique journey towards wellness. I am also a passionate member and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.

Hey there, I'm Nicole, and I'm all about creating a cozy, welcoming space for you to explore life's ups and downs. My passion lies in working with women, couples, LGBTQIA+ folks, and teens. Whether it's boosting self esteem, tackling anxiety, setting healthy boundaries, healing from trauma, or navigating depression, I'm here for you.

It is my experience that the fullest, most satisfying healing involves our whole person, mind, body, and spirit. By focusing on patterns of movement in the body as well as thinking, we work together to achieve your goals for therapy. A body based and energetic focus is often a new and effective way for people to resolve issues that only talking about them did not reach. I look for resistance and protective actions that no longer serve a person. I emphasize developing aliveness in the body, feeling joyful, free, and peace.

You struggle in your relationship, or your doctor handed you a terrible diagnosis. Maybe there is something important you need to talk about, but you don't know who you can trust. On some days, it may feel your mind is spiraling out of control. Getting out of bed may have become so much more difficult lately. You experience dread too much of the time. You feel alone and sometimes wonder "what is the point?" You can't seem to get around to doing what needs to get done. People are constantly on your case. You seem to be your own worst enemy. You don't want your friends or partner to know this one bad thing about you.

Beginning therapy can be an overwhelming process and finding the right fit with a therapist is key to facilitating change. While I have many “tools in my toolbox” through years of experience and training, I believe the most important piece in the therapeutic relationship is connection and creating a safe space to allow vulnerability to be present. I utilize an attachment and trauma lens in my work, as I believe we learn how to function given the families, relationships and communities in which we grow up.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples ages 16 and older, from all walks of life. I dedicate my work to helping individuals navigate through major life transitions, anxiety, depression, relational problems, trauma, parenting challenges, grief/loss, eating disorders, body image concerns, identity development (especially with LGBTQIA+ populations), personal growth and development.

I provide diagnosis assessment, therapy and intervention services if needed to adults and families.

When someone lets me sit with them, listen to their stories, and be a witness to their pains, bravery, and strengths, I consider it an honor and a privilege. Through my personal and professional journey, I have learned, and wholeheartedly believe that every person already has what it takes in them to be content and happy. However, life has never been simple or easy, despite its beauty. Often we can lose sight of our unique and intrinsic strengths, beauty, and meanings when surrounded by the busyness of daily life, human suffering, and un-nourishing cultural messages.

I am not accepting new client at the moment. I will bring curiosity, humor, empathy, and accountability into the room. We will not only nurture what is inside you, but uncover new perspectives and/or solutions. I will challenge the parts of you that might be holding you captive, making you feel unfulfilled, inauthentic, or unhappy. I take time to develop a strong therapeutic connection in order to understand the full. You can expect a dynamic that honors the journey that has brought you here. I will sit with you through your pain, celebrate your wins, and challenge you.
