In Person Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Helping those experiencing personal, emotional, relationship, family, traumatic experiences or psychological struggles. Therapy is a journey of growth and self discovery. Let's embark on that life journey together. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. As you get ready to start this journey, I will be there to support and empower you. My counseling style is warm, patient, kind and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.

For many of us, living fully in the present moment is hard to do when pain from the past forces itself into our daily lives. That pain can come from past abuse or neglect, rejection, disappointment, grief, a serious medical condition, feeling different or never fitting in, losses that may accompany aging or other life transitions, or the accumulated assaults of racism, sexism, homophobia or any other "ism". My goal as an EMDR-trained, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional is to work together with you to help you learn to live more fully in the present moment, free from the pain of the past.

I'm an Italian-/Irish-American, cis-, queer, always-aspiring-to-be-justice-doing, tarot-card-pulling art witch and half-assed-Buddhist who also happens to be a therapist. A professional artist, teacher and mentor of artists for almost twenty years before becoming a therapist, I offer my full authentic self (this may involve some swearing). I am a solidarity worker. This is transformative change work that values your inherent wisdom and lived experience. My work is truly affirming, rooted in the idea that unconditional love for ourselves, when combined with our innate creativity and knowing, is the strongest healing power we have.

Are you tired of dealing with life's issues alone? In today's fast-paced environment, the weight of depression, anxiety, stress, grief and trauma, can take a toll on a person mentally, physically, and emotionally. This leaves you feeling overwhelmed, angry, frustrated and exhausted! With the right therapist, you can take control of your life by reflection, self-awareness, creating balance and working towards living in your highest potential. You put so much time, energy and resource into every other area of your life except where you need it most...on yourself! Remember- mental health is wealth!

I work from an integral perspective and understand human experience within a developmental framework that includes inner and outer experience, varying levels of ego or self organization, and personal as well as transpersonal experience. My work is informed by the idea that while suffering is a part of the human experience, so is healing, growth, transformation.

People find themselves struggling at times with something that is making life more difficult than it needs to be. I am not here to judge you or tell you how to live your life, rather I am here to acknowledge and listen to your experiences. Accepting who you are, where you are and where you would like to be. As a supportive therapist, I am here to help you to better understand your life and make choices that will benefit your personal growth and overall well-being. Whether it’s a life transition, a life struggle or situation or dealing with mental health concerns, I am here to help you find ways to manage it.

I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorders and difficulties with body image, self-esteem, personality disorders, and trauma. My past career in Human Resources also gives me unique insight into workplace-related stressors. But most importantly, I am committed to making sure you are in a therapeutic environment that is inclusive, encourages healing, and offers growth. As a therapist, I’m collaborative, authentic, and curious. I’ve also been described as approachable, non-judgmental and empathetic. It's important to me to meet you where you’re at in life and build a strong therapeutic alliance with you.

Happy to meet you! I know this “therapy” thing can feel intimidating and vulnerable, trust and believe you will find no judgment from me. My goal is to give you a space where you can share your whole story, and know you are being listened to. I believe therapy works best when the client plays an equally if not more active role - you are the main character, I am your loyal companion on the road to your goals. I strive to create a space that makes room for joy and humor while on the road to healing - that road can be rough, lets appreciate the flowers once in a while!

I am passionate about supporting you in finding your voice, getting yourself rooted in your own authenticity and learning how to hold on to yourself in relationships. Together we will explore your own strength through practices of self-discovery and personal empowerment. Whether you're in a relationship or single and looking, we'll work together so you can feel secure as your own person. Healthy and happy relationships depend on a healthy and happy you!

Do you feel unlovable or that you are not enough? Do you feel like you are always searching for acceptance from others? Do you feel like there is constant conflict in your relationship with your partner or family? You don’t have to struggle with this alone, and you don’t have to feel like this forever. I can help you! I work with individuals, couples, and families, providing them with assistance in working through the many challenges of life. I want to connect with you and create a space where you feel heard, validated, and supported. I also use my experience as an athlete and knowledge in sports psychology to help athletes succeed!

Hi, I’m Heidi! I understand that healing is not linear. Sometimes emotions rise over items that you once considered healed, and I’m here to help to move through them at your speed and help you to honor your journey. How you heal is deeply personal, and I’m looking forward to exploring this with you. You are your best healer; I’m here to guide and support you. In my personal time, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, spending time with my animals, and exploring all that life has to offer.

Relationship concerns? With over three decades of counseling experience, I have extensive knowledge in helping couples, families, and individuals move past hurdles, challenging times and difficult situations. I see myself as a guide with a focus on your positive attributes and strengths. My sincere belief is that each of us has the ability to move forward and resolve our own concerns and achieve our personal goals in all relationships. My specialty areas include couples counseling and parent coaching.

I have a strong interest in working with people who have a history of trauma and mood disorders. I use a variety of techniques especially tailored to the individual including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and exposure therapy, as well as mindfulness and cognitive techniques (CBT). I am also certified by the Linehan Board for Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I am passionate about helping women cope with everyday stress caused by a variety of sources. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, I can help. I believe in helping women achieve a positive relationship with themselves so they feel whole, heard, and happy in life. Some of the issues and life areas I can help you resolve include going through divorce/relationship ending, eating disorders, sexual assault/trauma, work life balance, professional development, depression and anxiety, as well as other mood disorders, sensory processing disorders (including highly sensitive individuals), life transitions, grief/loss.

I strive towards a welcoming, and non-judgmental environment. I understand that life events, addiction, and mental health, often pull us away from who we want to be. Along with how maladaptive coping, family discord, community violence, barriers to care, and other environmental and developmental stressors affect one’s physical and mental health.

Taking therapy outside into nature allows access to powerful resources to help you address your goals, increase emotional and physical well-being and promote healing and resilience. In this practice my colleagues and I meet outside year-round in the South Minneapolis area, walking along the creek or river, sitting under a favorite pine tree or on a bench by the lake, with the option of telehealth when the weather is unsafe or just too cold. My style is supportive, warm, playful and experiential. We can address attachment difficulties, emotional and behavioral regulation, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma.

Feeling stuck? Are some days hard to get out of bed? Do you find yourself ruminating throughout the day? I know therapy can be daunting and anxiety-provoking, but if you are ready for a change, I am here to help. My approach to therapy is holistic and welcoming, so that we can identify areas of growth and healing to make lasting changes in your life. It can be hard to navigate life transitions alone - together we can create a space to explore what emotional wellness means for you.

I have 35 years of experience helping a wide variety of people find their way to living a richer and more satisfying life. I have a deep respect for the mind and emotional life and believe it's difficult to change without resolving the internal conflicts (which are often out of our awareness) that lead to emotional distress, unwanted behaviors or physical symptoms.
