Therapists in Uptown, Minneapolis, MN

I am passionate about helping clients with life transitions, stress, anxiety, and self-esteem. I work with individual clients age 18 or older. My goal is to help you engage in self-discovery and reflection in order to promote personal growth and healing.

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 specialize in working with anxiety concerns, OCD, generalized anxiety, phobias, and body-focused repetitive behaviors in individual therapy. I am a certified Exposure and Response Prevention Therapist (EX/RP) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Working with an exposure therapist will help you work through feared situations and thoughts with supportive feedback and skill development. I also offer traditional talk therapy to assist clients in gaining coping skills and processing distress tailored to individual needs using a person-centered, non-judgmental, and present-focused approach to my practice.

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 an 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.

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.

Welcome! I'm currently accepting clients that are motivated to grow and heal. I provide trauma informed therapy in a person-centered, collaborative and dynamic style. I see it as my role to help you pause and reflect, and challenge the schemas that may be keeping you stuck in undesired patterns of behavior. While therapy is serious work, it’s also important to laugh at the absurd moments and try to enjoy the journey as we walk it together. If you're struggling with relationships, feeling unheard or confused, reeling from a traumatic event or history, or experiencing a loss, we can work through these issues at your pace.

I believe individuals’ thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and bodily sensations need to be brought into our awareness, as insight is essential for change. I also believe that humans want to find purpose and meaning in their lives, that most people want to feel loved, validated, and that their needs are being met. When these are not present, unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as avoidance or negative self-talk can arise and cause distress in our lives. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and the therapeutic relationship as tools for alleviating symptoms and supporting other goals of healing.

I work with adult clients and students who have anxiety, depression, work stress, relationships issues, grief & loss, life transitions, existential crises, mental disorders management, and chemical dependency issues. I work well with clients from the LGBTQIA+ community and those who have mood disorders. I will help you cope with and resolve painful and difficult situations with a knowledgeable, empathetic, and insightful approach that can gently challenge your perspective with wisdom, insight, and coping skills. I offer of free 15 minute consultation to prospective clients.

Now Accepting New Clients! My area of expertise is centered around working with individuals with a history of mental health disorders such as Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD, childhood disorders, SPMI, poverty, LGBTQ+, life changing events such as Grief and Dying. In addition, I have ample experience working with clients dealing with self-harm behaviors, suicidal ideations, chronic stress, and low self-esteem. Clients who see me aim to develop coping and adaptive skills to manage life difficulties, resolve conflicts, heal traumatic experiences, work through where they feel stuck, and engage in healing.

Hey there! Glad to see you here! I describe myself as a client-centered, trauma informed therapy nerd. I take a liberation focused and systems-based approach to healing- we exist in systems and are impacted by them, why not consider them as a part of our overall wellbeing? You can expect me to bring a flexible structure (seems opposite, but it's real!), humor, boundaries, empathy, curiosity, and honesty to therapy sessions. Whether its a space to work through and focus on "doing", or a place for you to be witnessed and "be"- we get to be in whatever process you're in and honor YOU!

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re considering therapy, a brave first step in itself. I enjoy working with adult and emerging adult populations, and I have a particular affinity for working with emerging adults and college/grad students. I believe that a large part of healing happens in relationship with others, and I’m here to build a collaborative partnership with you where together we can create a path towards a more fulfilling life. I use a person-centered, interpersonal, and psychodynamic approach to therapy, while remaining adaptive to the unique needs of each client. I look forward to hearing what brings you here.

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.

What’s not to love about Jenika? She has such a kind and warm presence, you can tell why she is in this career. She is the type of therapist that will bring a very relaxed, chill vibe. She’s very present and interested, which is nice to have when you need someone to look at your life with you. Jenika says “I believe my clients know themselves best and my part is to illuminate strengths, point out barriers, and help navigate challenges that are bound to arise in this human experience to bring you closer to your favorite version of yourself.”

Immediate openings for new clients. Life's challenges can feel overwhelming at times. But developing a deeper understanding of ourselves can enable us to heal and grow in ways that we never thought possible. I believe that we can learn a lot about ourselves when we have the opportunity to explore and attune to our own emotions within the context of a supportive and meaningful relationship with a therapist. My aim is to earn the trust of my client and help them open up and explore their deepest thoughts and feelings in a way that provokes self-knowledge, enables healing, and inspires growth.

Currently accepting new clients! I work with teens and adults to process various mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma exposure. My work also addresses concerns related to self-esteem, processing major life transitions, and managing relationships. My integrative approach is rooted in the belief that the therapy space can serve as a positive medium through which you can discover new self truths, identify your strengths, cultivate resilience, and feel empowered to reauthor your own story.

In a demanding world, you can find resilience within yourself. As a therapist, my goal is to see you develop ways to persevere and grow—ways that speak to your values and your needs.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to begin their healing journey, no matter where they are at in the process. A majority of my professional career has been providing individual therapy to adults with a focus on the treatment of trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, life transitions, relationship issues, and boundaries.

Existing in this world is hard, especially if you’re shouldering the burden alone. There’s no shame in seeking support and there’s no time like the present to begin rewriting your story. Through personal exploration and a deep, honest evaluation of your surrounding environments, you can foster a sense of clarity and become better equipped to face the obstacles that life hands out.

Sara’s approach is rooted in the belief that therapy is a journey of self-healing. With trust in whatever is emerging, she works to help her clients tune into their "inner wise one"—that intuitive and knowing part of themselves. Sara draws from both Gestalt and psychodynamic theory to offer a warm, grounded, and embodied presence. She is honored to be a part of her clients’ journey back home to themselves. >/>/>For more info, please visit her website: www.integral-therapy.com
