Attachment-based Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
I am a current master’s level Clinical Social Work Intern. I provide a safe welcoming space for all adults to explore, express and deepen their understanding of who they are and what it means to be their authentic self. I understand the parallels of intersectionality and the confides of navigating the world when all feels lost. I offer a holistic approach to therapy with techniques such as guided imagery, mindfulness, humor, empathy to help you connect deeper with yourself. For me therapy is about building a relationship with others to help you understand yourself on a deeper level.

Therapy is a collaborative journey, one where we can explore your thoughts and feelings in a genuine and relaxed way. I work with adults, teens, and kids on recognizing unhelpful patterns, understanding where they come from, and developing tools that better serve you. My approach is conversational, sometimes light-hearted, and always non-judgmental. While we work together I want you to feel comfortable to be your authentic self and show up as you are. I’m here to celebrate your strengths and experiences, while also gently challenging you to help move towards your goals.

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.

My approach to therapy is relational, attachment focused, systems based, and trauma informed as I believe how we experience the world is through an eclectic lens of our relational and developmental histories, genetic and biological make-up, experiences with others, and the communities in which we live. I believe that sometimes healing is best ignited through connection, support, and exploration. I practice primarily with adult individuals, families, and couples navigating the effects of stress, PTSD/trauma, identity exploration and self-esteem, life transitions, oppression, and dual-diagnosis.

Welcome! My name is Arielle, I also go by AJ, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with an MSW from the University of MN.

As a queer, gender-expansive person, I am especially passionate about working with folks from the LGBTQIA2S+ community, particularly those who identify as bi+, pansexual, trans, nonbinary, and/or minoritized/invisible in our community.

I work with clients dealing with loss and transition and those struggling with anxiety and depression. I help my clients learn to be more present in their lives. This reduces irritability, reactivity, and the feeling of being overwhelmed or preoccupied. Together, we work to increase awareness of where they hold tension in their bodies and what triggers this tension. Often, we identify the emotions that are underneath the anxiety and they begin to heal by learning to accept and “sit with” these difficult feelings with compassion. This allows more ease in interpersonal interactions, conflict resolution and more joy in life.

I believe strongly in the power of human resilience and believe our relationships are a key factor in this. As a marriage and family therapist, I enjoy working with adults, couples and families. I have experience working in a treatment setting for chemical dependency and complex trauma, where I gained experience in using somatic approaches such as Brainspotting and inner child work to help individuals overcome childhood wounds to be more present and functional in their current lives and relationships. I am also an AAMFT approved supervisor and with current openings for individual, dyad or group supervision.

Please note: I am no longer accepting new couples therapy clients. I have occasional openings for individual clients. Introduction: My most common client is someone wanting to work on their marriage/intimate relationship. These clients typically feel frustrated, unheard, and anxious about the state of their partnership. Many don’t know how to achieve change in their marriage or what healthy/fair expectations would look like. Although the most common goal for my clients is to save their marriage or mend a broken connection, sometimes they specifically need help leaving a relationship that no longer serves them.
