In Person Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

For more than 30 years I have counseled men, women, and teens addressing a crisis, a tragedy, something troubling they are struggling with now or from the past. My work with you will focus on developing your own skills to address current and past issues. Your work with me will be empowering and deliberate and will enable you to have a more fulfilling future. Our work together will include, but not necessarily be limited to consideration and assessments of how particular issues are affecting you and/or those you care about. You may bring a partner, friend, or family member to our sessions.

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.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a commitment to being in the growth process with my clients. If you are struggling with repetitive and distressing thoughts that often seem illogical, this might be OCD. I work with adolescents and adults who are dealing with OCD issues and are seeking more peace within themselves. I also have personal, lived experience with recovering from the grips of OCD, and I am passionate about helping others.

Hello and welcome! My name is Sam (they/them), and I am so happy you're here. As a queer and non-binary identified provider, I honor how painstakingly difficult it is to exist under oppressive systems, let alone thrive. It can be isolating and scary to navigate this world alone, and I do not think you should have to. Drawing on humanistic and person-centered models of care, I aim to create a non-judgmental and empathetic space where you can bravely define what being your best self means to you. As an artist, I understand creativity's healing, grounding nature and provide art supplies for client use in sessions.

Now Accepting New Clients! Hope, insight, validation, and change are things I strive to provide the individuals that I work with. With over 15 years of experience as a therapist working with adults (18+) who experience PTSD, eating disorder, personality disorders and mood disorders, I believe it is crucial to create a safe, non-judgmental space to practice therapy. I approach therapy from a client centered approach to build a solid, therapeutic relationship and practice from a trauma-informed perspective.

I am dually licensed as a licensed professional clinical counselor and an alcohol and drug counselor. I work from a person centered, trauma informed, harm reduction, sex positive based lens. My specialty is working with individuals who struggle with substance use, addiction, co-occurring disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm and family/relationship concerns.

I would be honored to partner with you in a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space so that we can work together toward your goals. These might include quieting the critical mind, recognizing and adapting patterns that bring you pain, decreasing anxiety, or healing relationships with the self or others. Within each of us there is a healed and healing self we can call upon in times of suffering. Sometimes this part of ourselves has been buried under layers of fear and pain. Finding and trusting this self is the work of therapy.

As an AASECT-certified sex therapist, I work with individuals and couples facing challenges regarding differences in sex drive, sexual pain & dysfunctions such as ED and vaginismus, issues with orgasm, and other issues related to intimacy and performance. While anxiety is not always the cause of these challenges, anxiety is certainly part and parcel of how they manifest. Therapy is geared towards optimizing mental and physical health, managing anxiety through lifestyle changes, improving communication with loved ones, and reaching for better quality of life, which frequently includes: better sex!

I see you. Quietly pretending everything is fine, scrolling on your phone or bingeing on Netflix. I hear you. All the mistaken beliefs like “I am not good enough, or I am unloveable.” I feel you. All the disappointments carefully tucked away in your heart or unsaid words clogged in your throat. Let’s lighten your heart, mind & body so you can live a life from your highest truth. I am gobsmacked by the power of grief, love, trauma, attachment & joy. I help by integrating life’s most painful experiences. Integration leads to transformation which opens you up to endless possibilities.

It can be difficult to seek therapy and to find the right provider. I use a collaborative, person-centered approach which helps me personalize the experience to what works best for each client. I will help you explore patterns in your life, past and present, to help you better understand yourself and progress toward a better quality of life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship or family concerns, ADHD, life transitions, body image, or stress management - we will create a path forward that is tailored to what a healthy a life would look like for you.

Hello! We all experience times of difficulty and shifts in our lives. I focus on building compassion for self and others to help individuals and families work through stress, increase confidence and build support systems in their lives. I work with those who are experiencing trauma, posttraumatic stress, depression, ADHD, anxiety, identity development, life transitions, divorce and co-parenting stress. I enjoy working across the age spectrum including children 7 and under and adolescents (ages 12+) through adulthood.

I work with thoughtful people (maybe even "overthinkers") who are looking to more deeply understand themselves and their place in the world. If you choose to work with me, you can expect to collaboratively build a caring relationship in which you can explore your internal experience and develop more compassionate ways of relating to yourself and the world around you. My approach to healing is gentle and curious and I prioritize slow, long-lasting growth and change.

I am not currently accepting new clients. I've been in the mental health field for over 25 years and still strive to keep my "beginner's mind". I have a psychodynamic orientation (which means I believe that the relationship between the therapist and you is an important part of the process). My work is informed by many things, including the Buddhist principal that suffering comes from attachment to things we often aren't aware of or simply don't know how to let go of. I've found it helpful to use various wisdom resources, poetry, and humor in therapy.

Are you on a quest for healing? Perhaps you have overwhelmed, enraged, ashamed, or collapsed feelings that you don't fully comprehend. You might be attempting to avoid these feelings, making it difficult to fully experience life.

Hello, I am currently taking new clients for telehealth sessions across all of Minnesota and in-person sessions in Brooklyn Park, MN. I am a mental health therapist, divorced-dad, and music-lover on a mission to help people get and maintain mental wellness, develop personal insight, and enhance their quality of life.

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.

Understanding the self is the first step toward change. Through compassion, reflection and skill development one has the opportunity to remove obstacles in the form of beliefs, mobilize one's inner resources, reduce suffering and create a more meaningful life. I have worked with adults who have survived trauma/abuse, struggled with problems in mood and thought and experienced self-worth injuries.

Research shows the relationship between the client(s) and therapist is the most important component in creating change and relief from distress. My hope is to create a safe space for you to explore yourself and your relationship(s) and for us to work together respectfully, openly, and honestly to achieve your goals. I am passionate about working with couples and have advanced training in Emotionally-Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). I enjoy working on marital/couple issues, LGBTQ+-related concerns, life transitions, existential issues, and gender identity. I also like working with mental health professionals and therapists!

I have current openings for both in-person and telehealth appointments. Being willing to work on bettering yourself takes a lot of bravery and hard work. I am here to help you along this journey. To support, validate, and lift you up. To help you gain a better understanding of yourself. To teach healthy ways of coping with life’s hardships. To encourage you when things are tough, and hope seems lost. To challenge you to do, think, and feel different as you work towards having a life that feels worth living.
