Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
I am a firm believer in the power of relationships, to both hurt and heal. In my work with clients, I let the idea harms inflicted through relationships must be healed through relationships guide my approach. If we work together, expect me to be genuine, direct, and caring. I use empathy, humor, and curiosity to provide a feeling of safety and a secure base for clients to explore. I have experience with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders and specialize in the areas of: anxiety, life transitions (especially menopause/perimenopause), parenting, and addiction (those who struggle with addiction and their loved ones).

I focus on helping you build and maintain healthy relationships: personal, professional, romantic and sexual relationships. This includes individual counseling, couples counseling, and sex therapy. In individual counseling we can talk through trauma, negative thoughts, adjustments, questions of identity, happiness, or life goals. If you are having questions about intimacy, desire, shame, kink, sexual performance or desire, sex therapy may be right for you. You may be feeling a loss of connection, a wall of miscommunication and a mountain of unmet needs within your relationship and I will help you find that connection and joy.

You may appear to be thriving in many areas of life—steady career, solid relationships, a family maybe, and a supportive circle of friends. But on the inside, things might feel different. Perhaps you find yourself feeling unfulfilled, stuck in recurring emotional struggles, or disconnected from the people and moments that matter most to you. Maybe you feel weighed down by comparisons, regrets, or the constant push to do more, leaving you unable to pause and appreciate your progress. No matter how hard you work or how much you give, there’s a sense that it’s still not enough.

I believe all people have inherent strength, wisdom, and worthiness. Yet sometimes we find ourselves stuck, lost, bereft, or confused. In childhood, we sensibly develop habits that get us through particular circumstances, but sometimes we outgrow those habits and are not sure how else to live. Therapy can help us more fully understand these patterns and learn new ways of being. Through therapy, we can actively choose how we want to live and relate to others.

Lasting change is possible through a therapeutic relationship that is safe, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and engenders openness and trust. Our work together also values your uniqueness and specific goals. The client-therapist relationship is a chance to try new ways of thinking and feeling, being heard, understood and knowing yourself in a profound, new way.

I work with couples and individuals who want to strengthen their mental health through building secure attachments with themselves and others. Together we explore life experiences that may have led to feelings of attachment insecurity and we work to build new experiences of emotionally safety and security. With couples, we explore places they get stuck and help create new communication patterns and a deeper connection to strengthen their bonds. I enjoy working with couples who want to work hard to improve their relationships and also support couples who want to end a relationship in a kind and caring way.

I believe therapy can be a space to try on new ways of thinking and being, building insight and self-awareness so you can overcome blocks to creating the life you deeply desire. You can expect me to work hard to understand you and your history, offering an equal mix of nurturing, education and clear-sighted perspective. We’ll work together to chart a vision for the road ahead, noting areas for growth, needed skills, and current strengths and resources. In session, and in life, my style is informal, warm, playful and compassionate. I bring a body-positive, sex-positive, feminist and anti-oppressive lens to my work.

Hi and welcome! My name is Sara and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) here in Minnesota. I split my time between offices in St Louis Park and North Loop, offering both telehealth and in-person sessions. I primarily work with individuals and intimate partners, high school age and up. The content of that work is different for everyone, but some major themes include identity, relationships, life transitions and satisfaction, among others. In therapy- just as in life- we bring our unique self to the relationship and space. Some things you can expect from me are warmth, curiosity, and patience.

Hi, I am happy you are here. More and more people are experiencing a felt sense of disconnection due to chronic stress. I work with individuals impacted by trauma, injustice, grief, loss, and neglect, all leading to emotional, mental, and physical overwhelm. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, dysregulation, burn out, numbing, people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, hyper-independence, procrastination, and negative self-concepts. I believe you have the internal resources for your own healing. Together, we will engage in rest, resourcing, and restoring.

I am a queer identified LICSW with more than 13 years of experience providing psychotherapy.

Many of the clients that I work with also identify as queer.

I believe that the foundation of growth begins within the relationship between individual and therapist. The desire to feel seen, heard, and understood is universal and is an essential part of our overall well-being. I celebrate the courage of individuals who take steps into healing by engaging in the therapeutic process to manifest the life they desire. I am passionate about working together to ensure that you become an expert on yourself and believe in your own insight, strength, and self awareness. I believe that humor and laughter bring out our authentic selves and utilize this philosophy in my work.

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.

Life is messy sometimes. Therapy should feel safe, challenging, and sometimes even fun with a dose of good humor. I create a warm, compassionate space for clients to look at their patterns and painful memories while also celebrating their joyful moments. I offer a client-centered, systemic approach, and work well with high functioning anxiety, people with perfectionistic patterns and those who live or desire to live counter-culturally. I draw from a rich background in theater and the arts as well as a prior career as a bodyworker practicing massage and craniosacral therapies. I have a passion for somatic integration in our work.

It can feel overwhelming trying to navigate our day to day lives while also dealing with stress and trauma. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to work through whatever difficulties and challenges we find present in our lives. As we begin to release the weight and pain we have been carrying with us for so long, we open up to new ideas and possibilities. Ultimately we can move towards a life with more resilience and hope.
